“That’s enough” he finally closed the files. I sighed loudly. Finally this shit has ended. But it sure gave me a bad headache and I wanna die right now.
I got up. “I’ll just sleep--”
“Make me tea,” he interrupted me.I stared at him and looked away as I was frustrated. I sighed loudly. I can’t!
“I am really tired”
“I don’t give a fuck--”“And i don’t give a fuck about your business” I interrupted. I can’t take this anymore. “And I am gonna do what I want”
He smirked at me. “Hailey, tsk. You really think that can happen?”
“Why are you doing this?”“Why am I asking my wife to make me tea?”
“No. Why are you torturing me?”He stood up and I took a step back. “Do you even know what is torture?”
“HaileyI woke up and yawned. My head was feeling better. It sucks to think about the headache I had yesterday.I looked at the time, it was 10 AM.Oh fuck. 10 AM? really? I thought that Robert would kill me if I woke up at 8 and here I am, sleeping till 10. I really feel so scared. What if I go down--The bathroom door opened and I saw him. “You’re up?”I moved a little back on the bed, as I was scared. “Y-Yeah”“IS there a ghost?” He asked and went to the mirror. He set his hair. They were still wet, I guess he just showered. “N-No”“Why are you stuttering?” He looked at me now.“am I?” I tried not to stutter. “Uh… I am not”He came to me and I went a little further back. He sat beside me. “Why are you going away”Why is he acting like nothing ever happened?Was
AlexI am a little better now. I wanted to go to Hailey’s house but it seemed impossible now too. I don’t know if I will have to fight Robert. I can’t do that if I am not even well.Summer was also worried. “Should I call again?” she asked as she came back with a coffee. “You hadn’t tried again from yesterday, but they should call back”“Yeah I know, but you know something’s wrong”“Yeah, right”“So I guess I should call”“okay”She smiled. She probably doesn’t know how dangerous Robert can be. But I don’t think she will get in any trouble. I hope Robert doesn’t fall so down to even hurt her.I waited for her to come back.------SummerI dialed Hailey’s number and it was picked up.“Hello?” I said.“Hey” I
HaileyI looked at him. “You want me to do business?”“Yes”“Okay I will”He smiled and nodded.I have to know the truth. He has definitely changed and there is something that seems fishy.-----One week later.“So, we’ll cut off the deal” I smiled at him. “Correct. That’s how business works”“Pretty easy”“Yeah, it is”I nodded. In the past week, he has taught me about business - pretty much every important detail. and yeah, this week was so rushed and we had some hard moments but I realised that he was calm as long as I was ready to do business.I felt something strange around him. I am close to knowing the truth.“We’ll make the announcement that you are taking over the business in some minutes”“Okay…&rdqu
RobertI knew I couldn’t beat him. if I was still in the Mafia, he wouldn’t have dared to touch me or my wife. But now I have to do something. I can’t believe I let this all happen!I scoffed and went out of the building. I can’t tell her that it was him… and this sucks.I was glad that I was gonna finally meet her. I have no idea what he did to her in the last days. But somewhere I knew there was a line he would never cross. Because no matter what, he is still my brother.I sat in my car, which he was using till now and then drove to my house.She wasn’t around, so I switched on the television to know about the company.“Anderson Corporation to be in hands of Mrs. Anderson, looking forward to the biggest deal of the decade”“Critics against the decision, warns that the experienced should have taken the next step prior to this transfer of power”
AlexI was finally well physically, but my brain cells felt dead. I wasn’t understanding anything.Why would Hailey take over the business?Why would Robert give up his hard work of years?I was freaking out and all I hoped for was an answer. I know that it won’t help if I just sit and think around. I wanted to meet her. And I could now.“Are you okay? You seem troubled” I heard summer as she walked inside with lunch. I smiled at her.“I am fine”“Is this about Hailey?”“It is always about Hailey”She sighed. “I understand but she looked okay, she looked fine. You saw her on the television, they looked fine”“Do you really wanna believe what people show in front of Media? You know how fake it could be”“It can be fake when we talk to her, too”“Yeah, but then she’d be making a
HaileyI was on my way to the conference. I need to clear my mind and just think about what I have to do now.I reached the building and went inside. I took a deep breath and replayed the speech in my mind to make sure I remembered everything.I was welcomed politely and taken to a room. There was a big screen and several journalists.“Good to see you, Mrs. Anderson. May we start in five minutes?” one of them asked me.“Okay”He smiled warmly at me and went to talk with other people. I just stayed. Someone walked up to me and asked me to take a seat, almost in front of the big screen.I sat down and soon a man who seemed to be a boss walked in and sat beside me. He looked at me. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hailey Anderson. We hope to see Anderson Corporation reach more heights”I nodded and smiled, not knowing how to react. I didn’t even know his name, so I
AlexI was blank when I heard her speech. She… uh… well. I don’t even know how to react. Summer was standing right next to me, with her face paled.“She closed her eyes?” she asked me. “Who the hell told her to do that?”“Come on, we have to be with her” I got up. “I am sure she needs us”“Okay” she nodded and went to her room. I was in deep thoughts. Robert, you crossed the line this time. You have no right to humiliate my sister.Summer came down and we went to our car and I sat in the driver’s seat.“You think Robert did this? uh… tell her to do that?”I looked forward and started driving. “Let’s ask him”She sighed. “I am feeling so bad for her… she must be so… uh, sad?”“I know. And I am sure Robert must be happy”She looked at me. &ldquo
HaileyI went inside the door and slowly closed it behind me. I looked at him. He was sitting with his head facing down. Maybe he hasn’t noticed me.“Robert” I whispered and he looked at me.“Hailey…”I went to him. “Why did you do this? Why?”“I…” he sighed and sniffed. He stayed silent for a few moments.“You don’t even have a reason or an explanation…” I whispered. “I just wanted to hear it. If you had any, because most people don’t. But turns out you don’t even have one”He just looked down. “You humiliated me in front of everyone, Robert! You taught me that!” I was almost yelling.“I am sorry…”“Sorry! Wow!” I laughed, ironically. “Will this sorry change anything?”“What can I do…” he sighed. “You
