The Gathering (1)
It had been a long week for both Angela and Gael.
Because of Perry's absence in the KMH office, people—even outside of the company—were already noticing his disappearance and speculations began. It was harder on Malia, considering she was his fiancée, so she received looks whenever she passed.
About the same time that Perry disappeared, the De Lucas began making little movements against Perry's assets outside of New York. They were hoping to divide his attention which would weaken his stance in KMH, and then eventually drive him out of New York. The De Lucas were only in the first phase and Perry was already missing. Gael and Giovanni enjoyed the reign in KMH, wishing Perry would never come back. They were still cautious, just in case the man decided to jump back in—which was why they had to keep their plans in motion.
