The rays of the sun crept its way through the large glass doors of the ship, lighting up the room. There was confetti and paper cups all around, not to mention empty beer and wine bottles that littered the floor. An unlikely object sat in the middle of the messy dance floor: a wooden chair. Someone sat on it as he bathed in the sun's rays. He leaned back lazily as he took in the view of the sun rising to the east above the waters of the New York harbour. He had been busy the whole night and felt like he needed sleep. But the exciting feeling of everything going according to plan rushed through his bloodstream like adrenaline, keeping him awake.591Please respect copyright.PENANACY8jigY1KX

He had his phone in hand, which lay flat on his outstretched left leg. He lifted the phone, but had still not received any reply from the person he had just texted. No bother; she must be tired like I am, Red Lion thought to himself.591Please respect copyright.PENANAuB9fCLNTkf

Carlos began to sing in Spanish, a common Mexican song, snapping his fingers. Red Lion recognized the song. He would’ve told Carlos any other day to shut his mouth, but there’s something about it that soothed him a little. Carlos might not have a good singing voice, but his voice was like honey to Red Lion’s ears.591Please respect copyright.PENANAiTneBnFQXq

591Please respect copyright.PENANAPbPJmaKQVn
When Carlos and Hugo came close, Carlos took hold of Red Lion’s shoulders and shook him in an excited way, forcing Red Lion to dance side to side on his chair. The gesture made Red Lion smile. Soon enough, he tapped Carlos’ hand on his shoulder informing him to stop. Carlos did as instructed and approached the glass doors leading to the deck, still singing. Hugo remained by Red Lion’s side, shaking his head at his jolly comrade.591Please respect copyright.PENANAhrJ3MhhOQX

"You threw quite a party last night," said Hugo, who’s deep voice was a bit groggy after drinking too much. It’s still a wonder to many, especially Red Lion, how he didn’t get so drunk and have a hangover the next day.591Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ7i8jCSzz

"For example, Walters, yes. But I know how to handle him. Don’t worry," Red Lion noticed the look Hugo gave him. "He’s as stubborn as an ox, and he doesn’t trust me in some areas."591Please respect copyright.PENANAVR4iA1eIAQ

Red Lion laughed, his laugh echoing alongside Carlos' singing. "Have I ever made the wrong one that would put us all at risk?" He stood up from his seat and patted his hand on Hugo’s shoulder. "With me, Hugo, our organization will be an unstoppable force. I can promise you that."591Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5yokKjC1O

Red Lion turned to Carlos, singing with his arms wide on the deck. Red Lion joined in the singing and went over to his comrade on the deck. Hugo shook his head with a smile on his face and followed Red Lion. When Red Lion went onto the deck, Carlos turned to look at him and, with an outstretched arm, wrapped it around Red Lion's shoulders. The two continued to sing, while facing the sun, about the glorious days ahead.591Please respect copyright.PENANAKkFSk2oSKO

It’s been almost an hour since Leo sent Carly that text message, which she still hasn’t responded to. He had been staring down at the message for almost two minutes until he told himself to put the phone down and get to work. He did so with almost great difficulty, telling himself that Carly was probably tired and still fast asleep.591Please respect copyright.PENANAopcbR2iYSl
591Please respect copyright.PENANAwRJcMW6k4P
591Please respect copyright.PENANAXWzE8fTW1q
When he put his phone aside, he went to look at his computer. There were a bunch of emails, some of them from his colleagues which contained reports on their latest construction projects in New York that he needed to go through. That almost made Leo’s brain want to burst into flames. He knew it was only early working hours, but he already felt like he had worked for too long. There was no need to put himself under unnecessary pressure, as he opened up to read one email that didn’t involve any of the construction reports. As soon as he settled his mind to read, his landline on his desk started to ring. He quickly grabbed the receiver, drawing it closer to his ear.591Please respect copyright.PENANAt81I2ikLRJ

591Please respect copyright.PENANAXXsD5wFQm4
591Please respect copyright.PENANADgp1GvJQpH
Leo wondered what his summoning could be all about. He sounded a little serious. Could something have happened? The only way to find out is if he goes there.591Please respect copyright.PENANAmunilJib5B
591Please respect copyright.PENANA33MBguguG8
591Please respect copyright.PENANADijr4YULQI
He left the office, telling his secretary where he would be in case anyone called. As he made his way to his father’s office, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He had to tell himself not to think too much or else he might end up having a heart attack.591Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZf3ZiEGH
591Please respect copyright.PENANA0ELlsIvHPV

Just as he had clear view of the door leading to his father’s office, he found Eric making his way there. Leo raised an eyebrow. Eric has also been summoned?591Please respect copyright.PENANA2UzbSUoTcq
591Please respect copyright.PENANALLi8GPcE2w
591Please respect copyright.PENANAT6TfId4zb1
As though sensing that Leo was behind him, Eric turned to look in Leo’s direction and smiled. Leo wished he could have Eric’s optimism at this point in time. Because he had none.591Please respect copyright.PENANAm0UERoEr4l
591Please respect copyright.PENANA10hCxaCuMU

591Please respect copyright.PENANA97vRzEo5DW

Leo watched Eric as he led the way to the door, greeting Mr. McDonell’s secretary. Leo gave her a nod and she smiled at him kindly. Eric knocked on the door and Mr. McDonell from inside told them to come in.591Please respect copyright.PENANA5m38exdoBF
591Please respect copyright.PENANAUjlPYPcJNn
591Please respect copyright.PENANAyLYvOjYivg
The first thing Leo’s eyes fell upon when Eric opened the door, were the two chairs that faced his father’s desk which were occupied. Mrs. Lance sat on one chair while Angel sat on the other. Upon seeing Angel, he couldn’t help but worry why she was there.591Please respect copyright.PENANAHNUl68cQxp

591Please respect copyright.PENANAf4bhRf1FKt

591Please respect copyright.PENANAODSYEdwfIb
591Please respect copyright.PENANAiFJ3rWpSxT
"So, let’s cut to the chase," said Mr. McDonell who sat behind his desk. Leo and Eric sat down on the comfortable black sofas behind the two ladies. "As you all know we have an important meeting with the Chinese. We know that Leo and Eric have been making preparations, but I would like Mrs. Lance and Angel to be on board."591Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ4gZRs4I6
591Please respect copyright.PENANAD5FTkpdewM
591Please respect copyright.PENANAeacT86UIXS
Leo felt his throat run dry so suddenly. Angel will help with the preparations? His father really didn’t mean to include more people. He and Eric have done this together several times. Including people now felt so foreign to Leo.591Please respect copyright.PENANASO1vdD5z8w
591Please respect copyright.PENANATNXTH0YYLY

591Please respect copyright.PENANAMyzDdgqD0i
591Please respect copyright.PENANAfLz62VVaZU
Leo felt like giving Eric a poke with his elbow to tell him to keep quiet. But there was no hiding his enthusiasm and that irritated him the most, especially since he knew his cousin is only excited because Angel is in the fray. No wonder he was so excited before, Leo thought to himself. Did Eric know about this?591Please respect copyright.PENANATx9GGNGILC
591Please respect copyright.PENANAbMYnsL52Bu

591Please respect copyright.PENANANIQkpsW7BB
591Please respect copyright.PENANAKMGexBraj5

591Please respect copyright.PENANAnDo3jnewfs

591Please respect copyright.PENANArfdBdHsccd
591Please respect copyright.PENANA6CEoPzoL2Z
Leo raised an eyebrow. It’s true that Eric, and he had struggled a little on this last assignment, but there was a hotel that was ready to help host their meeting, and they were meant to visit the place this afternoon. Now he had a feeling he might be heading over there with Angel tagging along.591Please respect copyright.PENANAg0HaTXzzp6

591Please respect copyright.PENANAOFVUkBYfy0
"Look at you being so macho," said Mrs. Lance, turning to look at Leo. "You need a woman’s touch when it comes to such things. Your mother might have been helping you out sometimes, but she isn’t here to do so. So don’t be so egoistic and let us help."591Please respect copyright.PENANAZLZTgRTmy0
591Please respect copyright.PENANAJdMTi9Mu2l

Everyone else all stood up from their seats. The two ladies made their way to the door first, but Eric was quick enough to reach it before them to open it. Mrs. Lance thanked Eric for being such a gentleman and Angel also thanked him. Eric and Leo were the last to leave.591Please respect copyright.PENANAYPArKgsx3s

It surprised Leo that he had suddenly said that. His cousin was obviously jealous, but who knows? Maybe the two were having a friendly chat, and Eric was thinking otherwise when he didn’t even know what they were talking about. Why did he think like that again? It’s not like Leo to think of other alternatives, especially to the situation at hand. But that’s not what worried him. Leo had never seen Eric so worked up. There are times when he might be joking around, but this time it was different. Angel was the problem.591Please respect copyright.PENANAPjJgdTYYGR

It was a little too late for that, as Derrick drew close, and the two quickly got into some conversation involving sports. Derrick paid them no attention as he quickly passed them to head down the hall which Mrs. Lance had taken as that was where the architecture department was. When he was out of sight, Leo and Eric drew out a sigh of relief.591Please respect copyright.PENANAwxDLK7MTSL

Eric had reached his office, and he made sure to give Leo a playful wave of his hand before disappearing behind his door. Leo rolled his eyes. His cousin was very much in love. And for some reason, he didn’t approve that it had to be Angel he fell for.591Please respect copyright.PENANAYbpIOdDaaP

Leo continued his way to his office when he noticed Angel, who had finally approached her work station, talking to a colleague who was holding a stack of folders. They were talking and laughing too. She seems to have settled into the company already, he thought to himself. He rolled his eyes. Before he could continue on his way, memories of last night came flooding into his mind. That made him rush to his office so that he wouldn’t get a chance to look at her.591Please respect copyright.PENANAwOPimaau7Y

Andre was looking out of the balcony wearing a red silk bathrobe with a cigar in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other. He turned around to see his trusted comrade stand in the middle of his suite. In stature, he was much bigger than Andre, and he wore a black jacket and trousers. Not to mention that he had a bald head.591Please respect copyright.PENANA77zEdaVvZf
591Please respect copyright.PENANAm6avKatOID

Andre walked back into the room in white hotel bed slippers. He drew in the smoke of his cigar and later exhaled.591Please respect copyright.PENANAUi8vZDEpI5

"No, I couldn’t sleep," answered Andre. "That party last night was a blast."591Please respect copyright.PENANA8fBdKlTIeT
591Please respect copyright.PENANA3nTr3U2G86
591Please respect copyright.PENANAmTUECj6mMZ
His comrade looked at Andre with a smile before turning to look at the bed. "Didn't you sleep with anyone last night?" he asked. "What happened to the Rosales sisters?"591Please respect copyright.PENANAoPkThpreOg
591Please respect copyright.PENANACB7FzjR62q

"It wasn’t necessary," said Andre. "I told them that I wouldn’t be needing them for a while. I needed to be alone."591Please respect copyright.PENANAcj2Njui0mJ

"You can’t hide from me, Andre. That look on your face says that you’ve been thinking about her since we left the party."591Please respect copyright.PENANARelW1Pn0uY

591Please respect copyright.PENANAJThS17lkDD
His comrade sighs. "Nothing. You somehow always manage to get what you want. But take it slow if you ever decide to meet her again. Your past relationships haven’t been so rosy, and some of your exes always find themselves buried six feet under."591Please respect copyright.PENANAwSY3RbkteD

"Wow, Diego." Andre raised an eyebrow. "I’m not that cruel, am I? All I did was make their lives miserable because some of them either betrayed me or something."591Please respect copyright.PENANAcKefGNHS8U
591Please respect copyright.PENANABlKYKcLR2Y
591Please respect copyright.PENANAnVPdsoCvg1

Diego smiled. "Just testing your sharpness. You should really stop drinking whisky and smoking so early before having breakfast. If your mother saw you, she would kill me."591Please respect copyright.PENANAGhrJeVa5hb

"Today," Andre answered. "I would’ve liked to see Loren again, but I have a feeling Red Lion will be a little protective of her. Like you said, it’s best to keep things slow for now."591Please respect copyright.PENANA0xdNPGtu5O
591Please respect copyright.PENANAHb7XP9Tdzp

Diego made his way out of the room, and as he closed the door behind him, Andre quickly gulped down the whisky and tossed the empty glass on the bed. He leaned back and fell onto the bed. He put the cigar in his mouth and puffed up the smoke through his nose and mouth. As he stared at the cloud of smoke above him, he thought he saw an image of Loren’s face smiling down at him.
