Chapter 58: Agreement fulfilled
Outside the magnificent building of the Del Valle Group of Companies, birds nesting on the few trees planted in front of the building squawked and flew away as their sleep was disturbed by the commotion nearby.
Outside the entrance, a line of ten men in black standing with their feet spread about thirty inches and hands clasped behind their backs, just like soldiers waiting for their commander to arrive and shout ’attention!’.
The commander in mention then appeared in walking out the revolving door, followed by his second in command and his personal guard. The crowd gathered outside the entrance holding their microphones with different names of news media outlets wrapped around their necks, cameras flashing and clicking, and varied tones of voices that one would be so annoyed to hear.
But the center of all that attention showed no emotion at all, not even vexation from all the clamor. In fact, Luis even took off his glasses and wiped them twice since he doubted the glowing and blooming appearance of his boss, Azrael Del Valle.
For once, he wondered if his boss had finally lost his head for reasons unknown to him yet. Even the fact that he wasn’t glaring at the reporters blocking their way and wasting his precious time was making Luis anxious, as though his heart won’t be at ease if his boss won’t start shouting and kicking off the reporters soon.
"Mr. Del Valle, will you explain what truly happened inside the president’s office of HZ Clothing Brand?!"
"Is it true that President Horace beat you up?!"
"Did you really fight because of an omega?! Mr. Del Valle, how did your fiancée react in this scandal?!"
"Is it true you’re having an affair with Actress Elise Chen behind your fiancée’s back?! Is that why they had a fallout?!"
"MR. DEL VALLE, ARE YOU REALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESIDENT HORACE AND YOU FOUGHT BECAUSE YOU CHOSE MS. DIVA INSTEAD?!"
All heads turned to that reporter who shouted at the top of her lungs behind the bunch of seasoned ones. Even the men in black who were supposed to keep their heads and eyes straight moved their pupils to look at the brave reporter.
