The light on my cigarette lit up as Kyle took a few puffs , before he exhaled it as white smoke covered the open space, he looked at the smoke absent mindendly before it disappeared in thin air ,
" i heard that the Blackwell managed to smooth-talk with one of ambassadors and managed to claim that land in Tokyo that you wanted to set up another branch at, " the voice got out from the call that i set on loud speaker , he clicked my tongue before taking another puff of the cigarette
Ever since a young age , him and Matthew always seemed to be in a competition with one another , who gets to be in top 1 of their class , the one who gets a lot of praises , the one who is talented, Matthew always wanted to be one step infront of him, if it doesn't go his ways , he will throw a fit . Kyle thought as time went on , Matthew will eventually stop , but no, the obsession got so intense that he made a perfume business and his trying to bring business down
"what about the one in China? Im sure he must be on his feet trying to get that one too" Kyle asked
"negative , looks like he has some bad blood with some Chinese people that even establishing his business there will be like locking yourself in a room full of violent fire" Kyles dad said
he smirked as he headed to his desk as took the half lit cigarette and crushed it in the ash tray, of course Matthew was like a bulldozer, always causing destruction wherever he went , its only a matter of time before everything he built slowly crumble to dust
"no need to worry about him father , he is just any other leeches that can easily be removed and dispose of quickly, you just worry about your business, and i will focus on mine" he said as he sat down . they was a long pause on the other line
"i heard that Emberly tried to take her life the other day " he said
Kyle jaw clenched as his eyes narrowed slightly "news does spread faster than i thought "he said sarcastically . his mind travelled to that day he found her, he expected her to crash out and throw something like she usually did , but she didn't . he simply thought she was trying to pretend she has changed , after all she is a girl who is always unpredictable , but for her to accept the title of mother , that's a whole other story , he still wonder why she suddenly accepting Kayden in her life , he felt a nerve popping in his forehead , if she tries to use Kayden in her plan , he wont hesitate to take matter in his own hands
"son listen , " his father said to get his attention before he continued "i know you're still in the marriage for the sake of Kayden, but he got to understand that you and her cant always be together . your mother and i have been discussing about this and i think its high time you get remarr-"
"i will get a divorce when i feel like it, no need to decide for myself" he spoke in an angry voice as he interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, he was not the one for people to decide what was good and bad for him , not in this critical moment , he cant risk making harsh decision in a haste, and suddenly divorcing and remarrying can hugely affect Kayden , and he didn't want to traumatise the young boy
They was a long sigh from the other end , obviously his fathers frustration , but even so , he knew Kyles stubborn behaviour and once he made up his mind, there is no going back , so he reluctantly let it slide, for now "very well son , we will have this conversation some other time, take care and in case you want to tell me something , you know how to get me " he hanged up the call right after and Kyle continued to stay where he was ,his mind was now busy, divorce......a constant topic ever since the 4 years of marriage , of holding on to this shattered marriage all for the sake of his son . he received message from the butler that Emberly's mother was present at his apartment , another chaos about to happen, he really never wanted for her mother to come right after the storm had finally passed , Emberly and her mother are like opposite charges that always repel one another, he should find some servants already before receiving some retirement letter because of what's going to happen , after all on their last encounter , he lost 3 servants right on the spot
He snapped back from his thought as he focused at the task on his hands .he proceeded to open some bunch of files stacked up on the corner of the desk , he tried to ignore it for a while , but the more he does , the more of them came in, with this much work he might end up going home late today as usual. He should really get this done so that he can get time to spend with his son , even if its not enough.
The door to his office opened as his assistant made way to him and bowed "morning Mr Moonstone , i have received a letter from Mr Blackwell to give to you, said it was important " she said as she placed a letter on his table and he took before swiftly ripping it apart and taking the letter inside as he read it , a small smirk plastered on his face before going as soon as it appeared , invitation to Mr and Mrs Blackwell engagement ceremony , Matthew always had reasons to pull out this kind of stunt and this time he know why he invited me , to piss Emberly off, but as much as he want to dump it away in the thrash and go with his usual day, he want to see Emberly's reaction to this , will she pretend and agree or will she reveal her true self at the ceremony
