Pride and Success

Mr. Phyllis Wayne writhed in anger. He was already spoonfeeding Dr. Grace her chance of success but she was just too stupid to spat it out. It was all laid down in her fingers, alive and real, but too careless to let it slip away.

He could not blame Jia, the clever woman. After all, this was the first fight she surprisingly won, and hadn't she say she'd fight until the end? This only meant she was prepared for another and more ferocious battles against them!

He wanted to call and curse this Ybañes crazy girl so badly but he knew this was his own fight and his challenge. Dr. Grace need not cooperate, much more collaborate, she should only be the sole benefactor. It was rare to have parents like hers. Or, perhaps, it was he who was indifferent. And worst, to his own son.
