Ayden was about to leave when the door of Micah’s office had a knock, He stopped and waited for Micah to allow the person to enter, The door opened after the third knock and his assistant walked in.
“Master, Mr.Scott is here to meet you,” she spoke,
Ayden’s relaxed eyebrows flinched, and he glanced at Micah who’s face had frozen.
“Tell him to come in,” Micah replied, his voice was plain.
Ayden, who was about to leave, decided to sit back in the chair beside the table.
He bent forwards and asked in a low voice.
“Is it Renya’s father?” He asked.
“Hm…” Micah breathed out tiredly and rested his body on the back of the chair.
“What is he here for?” Ayden restlessly asked.
“How would I know?” Micah muttered in a low voice, as he sat back and pondered deeply,
‘Is it because Renya went back home? What does he want now? Money?’ Micah was immersed in his thoughts when the door opened, Ayden turned his head to look at Taylor while Micah kept on staring in an opposite direction.
“Good to see you, Young Master Ayden, how are you?” He asked in a friendly manner, Ayden wasn’t sure how to respond but when he glanced at Micah who was sitting without any meaningful expression, Ayden decided to greet Taylor.
“Good to see you too, Mr.Scott,” Ayden held out his hand for him. Taylor was a bit taken aback by the attitude of Ayden as he expected him to be the same as Micah, but he took his hand and shook it energetically.
“Are you here to avenge your daughter?” Micah spoke with a least interested voice,
Taylor glanced at him with a confused gaze and then his facial muscles relaxed and he replied.
“Hah! No not at all, Norah must have done something wrong for you to scold her like that,” Taylor pulled out his hand from Ayden’s and walked closer to Micah.
“Norah? Who is that?” Micah was suddenly confused for what he was saying.
“Hah! You are kidding me…” Taylor replied.
“What do you think?”Micah replied with a serious expression.
Taylor ceased his eyebrows in confusion and spoke again.
“Norah—she is my daughter,” Taylor replied.
‘Norah? Wasn’t he here to talk about Renya?’ Micah thought.
“Get to the point, what are you here for?” Micah fixed his posture and asked with a cold voice.
“Haha!! Why are you acting like this, you are making me feel like a criminal, I just came here to meet my daughter,” Taylor replied with a meaningful look painted all over his face.
Micah’s face was serious while staring at Taylor. “She is not here,” Micah pulled away and picked up a file from his desk, he started flipping the pages, trying to avoid the conversation.
“Well, I have heard that she has started working here-“ Taylor spoke with a small voice.
“I said she is not here!” Micah looked into his eyes with a deathly gaze and replied.
Taylor felt goosebumps all over his body, Under Micah’s ferocious gaze he felt like he was melting away, but luckily there was a knock on the door that made Micah’s gaze move away from him.
“Come in!” He roared.
He looked back at Taylor again, the door opened and Eryna walked in with her head hanging low,
“Renya? What are you doing here?” Ayden spoke as he was the first one to see Eryna walk in, and as soon as the words fell in Micha’s ears his gaze flashed at the figure who had walked into his office, it was Eryan.
“What are yo—“ Micah paused when he saw her reluctant expression. Taylor too turned around.
“My daughter! It has been so long-“ he got up from his seat and opened his arms and waited for Eryna to hug him but she stood still staring at him with a peculiar gaze.
“What is wrong? Are you not going to greet your father?” He spoke in a disappointed tone.
Eryna didn’t answer; she kept on staring at him with an unchanging look.
“Haha!! My daughter has always been shy! She must be reluctant in front of you people,” Taylor glanced at the other two, Ayden was staring at Taylor with distrust while Micah’s gaze was glued to Eryna.
“Could you excuse us for a moment, I would like to talk to my daughter alone,” Taylor gave an awkward chuckle before looking at Eryna with a meaningful gaze, But Eryna ignored him and gave a hostile glare to Micah before turning around to leave the room, Taylor was puzzled but he followed her out.
……………………………………………..
In the meeting room, Eryna and Taylor sat face to face. There was no one else beside them and it was a great opportunity for Taylor to show his colours.
“So, where is the file?” Taylor asked with a serious voice.
“What file? I have no idea what you are talking about?” Eryna replied bluntly.
“Stop playing dumb!! I am talking about the file that Micah gave you! The land papers.” Taylor’s voice was cruel and harsh, there was nothing kind in it, unlike the time he talked to Norah, this was totally the opposite, he spoke as if he was talking to a lowly animal, Eryan remembered the look she used to get when she was young.
‘ My,my,my—Reyna, how did you spend your life with this guy? You even called him father,’ Eryna thought while staring at him blankly.
“Are you going to speak or should I—“ he lifted his hand but right then there was a smirk in Eryna’s face.
“No, no, no...you can’t do that to me anymore! You can’t scare me with that!” Eryna slowly got up from her chair and walked closer to Taylor, “Now I am not the girl you used to rule around, I am Renya Luis—“ she whispered the last words in his ears. Taylor froze and slowly looked at Eryna with a gaze filled with rage.
“What did you say?! You are rebelling against me?-“ Taylor growled, “Are you trying to rebel, like that arrogant brat did?” His voice filled with loathing,
“Then let me remind you—she rebelled and she died, and so are you,” Taylor whispered.
Eryna’s eyes trembled when she heard his cruel words, somewhere deep I. Her heart felt pain, was it because she was still not able to let go of the painful memory.
“You are heartless, you won’t have a good ending,” Eryna spat out the words with difficulty.
“As long as I get my hands on Luis Inc, who cares about being heartless,” Taylor chuckled.
Eryna stared at his greedy face with a determined look, her face calmed and she leaned in closed to Taylor and muttered.
“As long as I am here, I will not let anyone harm this family—Especially not you!” Eryna smirked and turned around, leaving Taylor speechless, ‘is she really Renya? The look in her eyes-I haven’t seen that before,’
