Company's finances

Rubie took a deep breath, she could see how sad her aunt's was and how tears managed to escape from her eyes.

She wished they could stay a little more but there are lot of things and responsibilities they need to take care of. After thinking for quite some time, she hesitated, "Okay, I'll talk with my husband Elliot. And see what he will say about us leaving Max with you for a month."

Petra eyes widen gracefully. She felt the Aura of happiness surrounding her. Her previous mood changes from sad to excitement. "Are you serious?!"

"Yes–I just said I will speak with him first." She made a clear note of probability.

"You don't have to worry about Elliot's remark when it involves me. I will personally thrashes him if he says no. He knows." Petra grinned.

Just then, Ryan and Anastasia approached them. "Hi Aunt," They hugged Petra.

Ryan carried baby Max even before Anastasia could reach for him.

"Honey, don't do that next time. You knew I was gonna have him first."

He ignored her and played childishly with the baby.

Petra laughed at the two couples who were still on pajamas. "What says the time?"

"Almost 10?" The others answered in unison.

"And some persons here are still wearing pajamas. Oh, what an outfit." She silently crackled.

Ryan looked down at himself and grinned, "It's still morning and we just woke up not too long ago when–holy shit!" He carefully handed max to Anastasia, "I just remembered, Seb called me–where is he?"

"In the study room?" Jin-joo answered with a quizzical expression.

Without wasting any more time, Ryan dashed out instantly. Leaving the women and the baby in the garden.

Of course he knows how prompt and alacritous his cousin could be. He detests delay and lagging people. And as a serendipitous man, he met his pair who also detest things like he does.

In The Study Room

Meanwhile a woman in her fifties whom looked standard just like his mother stood in front of a savage man busy making eye contest.

She is one of the oldest employees in the time of his father, Mrs Stella McKinney. She's in charge of the invoice record. Everything that goes in and out.

Though the noble prince himself, also has a bookkeeping record of every statements from the company in his emails.

"Sit," He instructed and she sat.

"Incoming, the tomboy of LA is––woah!" Ryan startled when he saw everyone seated with a weird expression.

He made his way towards his cousin and whispered to him, "Dude, what the fuck is up with you? Couldn't you have at least told me that we have a casual-formal meeting before now?"

Sebastian glared at him with one side of his eyes "Sit down, Ryan."

Ryan took a deep breath and sat down. He was in a slant angle of 90 from him. Because only Sebastian has his own layer from where he was. Just like a king and they were like his kinsmen.

"I personally made some checking into the company's details last night after the nomination and I found a whole lot of annoying nonsense which pissed me off." He slammed the table.

"Seb, chill a bit, you're getting too fucked up." Ryan frowned.

He ran his hands through his face and took a deep breath, "Ryan, the company has been running on massive loss for recent years now."

"What?!" He widen his eyes in shock. "How?"

"You're asking me?" He impassively turned towards Mrs McKinney, "State out the records." When she hastily stood up with her iPad, he leaned on his chair calmly, "I have mine with me, so better don't make any mistakes."

The woman vigorously nodded and explained. Everyone faced her in unison with scunnered faces after listening to everything she just said.

"Hold on a minute, did you just say–I knew it! Those times I've been getting notifications from the company lavishing money at hotels, I never knew it was that witch behind it!" Ryan yelled aggressively. He was fucking pissed and upset at the moment. His anger could be sensed from the veins popping out on his neck and forehead.

"Aunt Lorena and her son Liam really did this?" Sebastian sighed. If he said that he's not tired and mad about this then he lied.

Sebastian is not a man of conflagration or conflict. Though he gets easily annoyed but ever since Jin-joo came into his life, he learned how to control his anger as a man.

He relaxed himself and took a deep breath while massaging his head, "They've been tempering with the companies finance and you kept shut?"

"Arrghh! Sebastian, you're too cool for my liking." Ryan roared. He was out of control.
