Another Chance

Everyone in the conference hall was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. While everyone seemed happy and was congratulating Brix and Cris, Lenny was trying her best not to let others see her sour face.

It was a struggle because Lenny of all people could not expect what her son had just done. She was still not ready to accept Cris.

"Congratulations!" She heard the officers and board members greet her and she mustered enough skill to keep a poker face and smile as she said, "Thank you."

She couldn't take it anymore so she excused herself. She balled her fist and gritted her teeth in fury as soon as she was out of the conference hall. But she suddenly stopped when she felt a pain in her chest and she grabbed it.
