Veronica was quiet, she didn't know what to say. she couldn't just put all the blame on that girl but she was sure something had to do the with it "so none of you know either" Mr. Maqburne, said between gritted teeth, "Javier i want to hear an explanation how did we loose potential investments" he said, turning to Javier
Javier was lost, he didnt know how to explain that some company information got leaked but we don't know who gave out the information or if there was a mole in the company "words Javier i need to here words" Mr. Maqburne, feeling his patience slip "company information was leaked sir" Javier said slighty trembling, why was he even scared he was looking after his own company and tidal tech, he was only doing it for Veronica
"how did that happen" Mr. Maqburne asked, compaosing himself javier answered "we have no idea sir", "you have no idea?, and is this being investigated" Mr. Maqburne asked, raising an eyebrow
"yes sir it is being investigated at the moment" Javier said, letting out a sigh Mr. Maqburne relaxed, massaging the bridge of his nose, he was deeply regretting letting Veronica kill Estella, he thought he no longer had use for her but apparently, there's a mess that somehow if she was here she would have solved easily, he wished he had none better but there was no time to cry over spilt milk, he just had to make due with what he had.
his mind flashed to the new company that won biggest and most popular, if he could somehow partner with the girl perhaps his company will get on its feet "Veronica i want you to contact the owner of Highwire tech company for a meeting" he said, turning to Veronica
Veronica didn't believe what she just heard, "dad why do we need to do that" she asked, the last thing she wanted was to lay eyes on that girl called millie she hated her the minute she saw her and she wanted nothing to do with her "we can partner with Highwire, it will be advantageous to us"
"but..." "Veronica i dont care what you think or have to say apparently trusting you to look after my company has proved futile with the kind of loss we incured" Mr. Maqburne interrupted "you can go" he said dismissing them from his office. Veronica walked out seething, why was she the one he gave the assignment to, she turned to Javier who was walking beside her "contact her instead" saying that she walked away.
Javier watched her walk away, he didn't disagree cause he wanted an oppotunity to see Adelia again, something about her intrigued him and he wanted to know what it was, so this was a great oppotunity.
Alec sat in the office in his hospital, after the night of the event he hadn't reached out to her again, be he asked Jayden to watch her cause he couldn't just let her be without protection. he was about to loose it, he was wanted to be close to her, he wanted to hear her voice but he couldn't do that cause any attempt to get closer to her will only make her runaway, sighing in defeat he looked at the medical files on his table.
there was a knock on the door, "come in" he said looking up from the files, the door opened and a lady with brown hair, wearing a black mini body hug gown walked inside, "Miss Birkins to what do i owe this visit, is it a medical issue" Alec asked, not even letting out a smile, "Dr. Alec i've told you countless times to just call me Katherine or Kathy you don't have to sound so formal" Katherine answered, giggling a bit, she took a sit
"so why are you here" alec asked, his attention on the files in his hand, "i came here to see you alec, do i need a reason to do that" katherine said pouting her lips. Alec looked up at her, if only Adelia was as clingy as Katherine, he would trade anything for that "yes Miss Birkins, you need a reason to see me but apparently you do, i will help you book an appointment with the pyschiatrist be sure to pay him a visit" he said
making Katherine flush in embarrassement, for the past 2 years she had been chasing him, he has ignored her consistently, but suddenly he shows all over the news with some random girl and he expects her to give up, she's not going to loose to some chick that spawned out of nowhere.
