Epilogue (4)

The next day, instead of enjoying his time with his future wife, Kyro found himself standing in front of Gale's office. It annoyed him, but Iris had begged him to help Elise and in the same vein his best friend. Wouldn't it be nice if the two got together as well?

Kyro wasn't so idealistic, though. He knew Gale better than that. Women were nothing more than a way to pass the time for him, like most of his acquaintances.

"Are you here to give me an earful about my actions yesterday?" Gale asked when Kyro opened the door without even raising his head from the monitor.

When Kyro came around, he saw that it showed Horten's stock value falling with every minute. The greatest dip was after the party the day before, but it was still decreasing. Slowly, that ship was sinking.

"I could, but I think you did surprisingly well. I thought you would be in Italy or Greece by now. I'm proud of your control," Kyro said with a light smirk.
