Bastian drove into Maximo company. He parked at the parking lots and paced into the ground floor, walking past his admirers, who paused their activities to stare at him till he entered the elevator and they couldn't see him anymore.Immediately as he stepped out of the elevator on the fourth floor, Esther walked out of chairman Hewitt’s office to welcome him.“Good day, sir.” Esther greeted from a distance, bending her neck.Bastian walked closer to him. He slightly bent his neck. “Good day,” he responded. “I am here to see the chairman.”“He is inside, waiting for you.” Elsie said with a smile on her face. She pointed her right thumb at her back, passing it over her shoulder. “Let’s go in.” “Okay, sir.” Bastian said.Esther led him into the chairman’s office, and he walked behind her.She opened the door for him to go in first, and he bent his neck a bit. “Thank you.” He appreciated her and walked inside.Immediately as Bastian entered the office, chairman Hewitt raised his gaze and
Anna drove into the compound and parked on the wrong side. She intentionally parked behind Cohen’s car and blocked it so that Cohen won’t be able to drive out.She got down from the car and stormed towards the house.Elsie walked out of the house, and seeing Anna coming her way, she wore a welcoming smile. “How-” she wanted to start a conversation immediately as Anna got closer to her, but Anna ignored her and walked past her.Anna abruptly opened the door and barged it behind her, making Elsie take a step backwards, shocked.Elsie spoiled her mouth as if she just licked something bitter. “What’s wrong with her?” She wondered.She elevated her shoulder to the same level as her neck, stretching her hand beside her. “Her problem.” She let out and walked to her car in the parking lot.“Cohen!” Anna called at the peak of her voice. She threw her bag to the sofa, and matched upstairs, taking her steps with anger.She arrived in front of her room and banged in. “Cohen!” She called immediate
Chairman Hewitt's word kept ringing in Bastian’s head till he left his office, and got into his car, driving back to the office, lost in thought.Bastian was mostly worried about Patricia's wellbeing, causing a part of his mind to warn him against executing what he had already smoothly planned with chairman Hewitt. Thinking about the future, and doubting Patricia’s feelings for him, the dark part of his mind which convinced him to go ahead seemed to win the battle.He suddenly vented his anger on the clutch pedal and pushed it abnormally, causing the steering wheel hard to control and the car moved faster, facing the main road.He hurriedly pushed the brake, but it wasn’t working.His eyes widened, keeping his mouth ajar, helplessly as his car faced a truck which was coming towards him at a high speed.He tried his luck for the last time, and was shocked the brake came to his aid.The car stopped at a roadside, blocking a street road, and the car coming couldn't pass.Bastian rested
“Where is Bastian?” Patricia raised a question, stumbling onto Ailee immediately as she stepped out of the elevator. “Have you seen him today?”Ailee nodded. “No, ma.” “What’s his schedule for today?” Patricia interrogated. “Did he have a meeting I don't know about?”“Not all, ma.” Ailee answered.“And he didn’t call to tell you about his movement? Maybe an emergency popped up or something or someone needed his urgent attention?” She further asked.“No. He didn't.” Ailee replied.“Where could he rush to?” Patricia sounded worried. She hadn't woken up when Bastian left the house in a hurry early in the morning. She thought he left her behind to attend an emergency, hoping to meet him at the office, but she didn't, and it’s been over three hours since she resumed office, and he hasn't arrived yet.Patricia quickly swiped up her phone and opened the contact app. She pressed the favorite list and only Bastian's number appeared, saved as ‘guardian angel'sShe dialed his numbers, and it r
Charlotte entered the living room, and met Anna sitting her ankle on her thigh, her hand on her forehead.“Anna…” Charlotte called immediately as she entered, but Anna couldn't hear her because she was deep lost in thought.“Anna…” Charlotte kept calling till she arrived besides Anna, but she still didn't hear her.Charlotte tapped her. “Anna!” She called, raising her voice.Anna was shocked, and she came back to reality, making a shocked tone. “Hun!”Charlotte frowned her forehead, looking at Anna with confusion. She sat down beside her with a part of her bottom, and placed her hand on her back, patting her. “Anna, is everything okay?” She asked with concern.Anna raised her gaze, and a drop of tear fell from her eyes. She quickly wiped the tears and shook her head. “Nothing, I am fine. I am okay.” She let out rapidly, her voice stammering and her eyes still had tears which were held by her eyelids.Charlotte sat comfortably with her full bottom. “Are you sure? You don't look okay. T

She was wearing a black short gown, covering her head and half of the face with a black veil.She paid the cabman with cash, and looked left and right suspiciously before she quickly hurriedly paced into the ground floor of Maximo company.Immediately as she entered and walked to the ground floor center, she removed the veil from her face and approached a female staff coming out of the elevator.“Good day.” She let out.The staff member slightly bent her neck. “Good day, ma,” she responded, asking, “how can I help you, please?”“I am here to see the chairman. Chairman Jackson,” Anna stated, requesting, “can you lead me to his office, please?”Davina looked at her from head to toe and gave no response.Anna underst
The car drove into the company, and Patricia rushed down before the car could park properly.She sped onto the ground floor, and she paused for a minute. And continued to walk slowly, maintaining her walking manner.She walked to the center, faking an insincere smile on her face as she responded to the staff members' greetings, and without noticing it, she lost control of her feet and paced faster into the elevator.After waiting for hours yesterday, Bastian refused to go home with her and ordered the driver to take her home first. She waited for him till midnight, but he didn’t come home.She repeatedly called his number, but he refused to pick it up, till his number was no longer reachable so she resumed to office earlier because she was worried and wanted to see him, but as she came out of the and turned to the corner which led to Bastian’s office, a thought passed through her mind, causing her to halt.“Does he want to see him?” She raised a question and found it difficult to take
Patricia entered the conference room with Ailee accompaniment, and all directors set their gaze on her.She paced to her seat and all the directors, except Chairman Hewitt, stood on their feet and curtsied their heads to pay their respects for her.She bowed her head in return and sat down. And the directors also had their seats.Patricia looked at Bastian’s empty seat and slightly glanced over her shoulder to look at Ailee behind her, and wrinkled at her, ordering her to come closer.Ailee paced closer to Patricia and bent beside her, putting her ear closer to her mouth. “Where is Bastian?” Patricia asked.“I don’t know, ma,” Ailee answered, explaining, “he left the office to receive a call, and he hasn’t come back since then.”“Don’t he know it’s time for the meeting?” Patricia let out with the concern in her voice, matching the one roaming on her face. “Have you checked around?”“I haven’t checked, ma. But he should be within the company,” Ailee made a reply, explaining, “I saw hi
