Did something happen?
“Well, would you like to go next, Mr King?”
“I’ll go last,”
Sebastian says. I’m curious as to what he’s thinking, and I take my seat as the next presentation begins.
I win the job, despit the I am confident Toussaint resources being slightly less than some of these companies, not to mention the casualties of the mining accident. I am still confident I can do this.
I’m nervous. This is my biggest project, something I’ve into It’s something D Poured my heart and soul said I wouldn’t be able to acquire until recently. When he saw my plans, he said he had confidence in me. I personally want to show him that I am capable.
The fact I am a woman already puts me at a slight disadvantage compared to the rest, but I won’t let it get in my way. Feeling his burning gaze on me, I glance at Sebastian. He’s trying to contain his aura…
What is going on with him? Our eyes meet. and I raise my eyebrows questioningly at him slightly.
But he simply looks away, his brows creased in a deep frown, flexing and unflexing his hand as he combs his fingers through his beard.
I turn my attention back to the presentation, not worried or threatened by the current presenter and what he is offering to Mr Harrison. He has not offered anything that the others before him haven’t already… and I’m not being conceited, but I’m feeling confident.
His presentation finishes, and Mr Harrison asks a few questions before he looks at Sebastian. “Mr King.”
He gives him a curt nod before standing up. Everyone here is in high-rank positions in their respective companies. A deal worth millions…
“Thank you for allowing me to step in despite the late entry. I had a lot on my plate and when you initially reached out to me, I had far too much going on, but I think I can offer something new to this project.”
My heart drops, my smile fading as I look at him. He never told me he had been offered this deal prior. He’s going to knock me out of the game. Sebastian may be an idiot, but when it comes to business, he is the best. He isn’t called the Black Beast for nothing…
His eyes meet mine and I look away, trying to hide how hurt I’m feeling. Forcing a polite smile on my face, I look down at my file smoothly.
He’s going to take this from me, too. “As everyone knows, the King Empire has the largest number of staff working under With factories that deal with steel, iron, bricks and mortar, we can offer a lower price than purchasing from elsewhere. Any jobs. we do would be the most cost-efficient for our clients. There is not one company here, and correct me if I’m wrong… that has even two-thirds of the manpower we hold…”
My biggest fear…
The only part of the Toussaint offer I was concerned about, and I had said I will be putting in work and dealing with other contractors. Now he’s gone and put emphasis on why I shouldn’t get the job and why he is better Why is he doing this?
I know he said this wasn’t a deal he wants to win… but then what will he do? Make a mockery out of me and then say, you got the deal because I let you? I look up at him, and his eyes meet mine. Why? “Are you alright, Mr King?”
Mr Harrison asks, making Sebastian look away smoothly.
“Yes, of course…”
Sebastian says hesitantly. A few people exchange looks, and Mr Harrison sits back, observing him.
“There is not one deal that you have ever lost yet your ex-wife, do forgive me, Ms Toussaint, well she has shown she might be very capable.”
Mr Harrison says, making a few people glance at me.
Of course, most of them know… but as his wife, I Was never in the business game. Harrison’s words ‘Might be very capable’ don’t sound very encouraging Sebastian’s struggling with himself, despite how emotionless and cold his face is.
“You thire correct, I never lose a deal… and I think I want to keep that streak. Hence, I don’t think I can compete with Ms Toussaint …”
I look up in surprise, not expecting that. A twinge of irritation rushes through me. I don’t need him to give me the job.
Harrison nods. “I have always wished to work with you, I have heard great things and all the projects you work on have been successful so far…”
His gaze flits to me and I realise he’s hinting at that accident again.
I had won him over by proving I can do this… but he is clearly leaning towards Sebastian.
“That is true… but I think we can all agree that Ms Toussaint deserves this job. I am willing to partner with the Toussaint group and offer them the manpower they do need. If that is an option for both Ms Toussaint and you?”
What is he doing?
“A partnership?”
Harrison sounds interested. He’s taking it away from me. “What percentage are we talking?”
Harrison. asks. “I do like Ms Toussaint’s approach, however, my only concern is the areas that the King Empire excels in.
“Twenty percent for the Kings and Eighty to the Toussaint Empire,”
Sebastian suggests. My heart is thumping as I try to remain. emotionless. “Is he trying to cause problems for his ex?”
One of them whispers but I catch it.
“I wonder why he would even offer that unless he wants somet I stand up, trying my best to contain the anger that is raging through me. “The Toussaint group pull out. Mr Sebastian King can keep the project.”
I say quietly.
I feel humiliated. The moment Sebastian stepped up, Harrison has not once been interested in me. Thank you, Sebastian, for showing me my worth. “Ms Toussaint, we can’t take simple things like this to heart.”
Harrison chuckles. Sebastian is frowning, his blue eyes meeting mine.
I smile gracefully before I shake my head. “
Not at all, Mr Harrison. I just do not wish to work with Mr King’s Company. Have a good day.”
Gathering up my belongings, I walk to the door, chin up, despite the sinking feeling in my stomach.
“Ms Toussaint, the building is still under lockdown,”
Harrison calls. “That is fine, I will go have a coffee,”
I say with a smile over my shoulder I lost.
The doors open and I step out, my heart heavy. I can feel his eyes on me, but once again, the father of my children truly disappointed me.
An Intruder
ZAIA. “Lu- Ms Zaia…”
I look up to see Daniel, one of Sebastian’s assistants, standing there. He lowers his head politely to me.
“It’s good to see you, Daniel,”
I say quietly. No matter how devastated and upset I feel right now, I can’t let that aff?ct anything else. I smile as warmly as possible at him, and he smiles. back brightly.
“It’s lovely to see you again, ma’am.”
“It is,”
I say, touching his arm for a second before I excuse myself. There are cops everywhere, I wonder what happened…
I walk down the hall, my two guards flanking me as I enter the main lobby heading for the food court. “Ma’am. There’s been a situation and the food department has been suspended.
I sigh. “Understood. Are we free to leave?”
The officer looks me over before he nods. “Yes, come. I’ll make sure they let you out.”
“Thank you,”
I reply, glad to get out of there, but I don’t know how I would face Mom or Dad.
Tell them that I failed. The car is brought, and I get in, slipping my shades on.
Maybe I should have fought harder… but he had thrown me off. The drive back to the villa we are residing at passes by faster than I would have liked.
I check up on Jai and Valerie via text, trying not to think about what has just gone down. There’s no change yet, but the full moon will be at its peak in to days from now. I have hope…
I step out of the car, forlorn and tired. I know things like this happen often, but when you spent so long on something… it was almost in my grasp.
Almost…
The door opens before I even reach it. “Surprise!”
Zion and Sia say, making me jump. I stare around the hall, and the congratulations. sign that is plastered across the wall opposite.
Oh, no….
They had such high expectations…
I look down at my precious jewels and crouching down, pull them both into my arms, kissing the top of their heads. They make me happy. “Congratulations, Zaia,”
Father says, making me look up. How do I tell them I didn’t get it?
“Shouldn’t we… be celebrating once the paperwork is sealed? Things haven’t been finalised yet…”
