"I just realized I’ve made a very terrible decision," Anastasia said out of the blue with a long sigh.
Her words got the people present, including Leo, confused, as their eyebrows furrowed as they waited for her to continue.
"You’re right, Mr. Grey, I should have worked hard enough to get thepany stocks reaching at least 90% like you said."
A satisfied smile stretched on Mr. Grey’s lips as he and Logan shared a look.
"How many of you were in support of Mr. Martins and Mr. Grey’s actions."
Thinking Anastasia approved of what they did, two people raised their hands in the air.
"We approve of what they did. They have thepany’s best interest at heart. Even though you’ve already changed the name."
"I see," Anastasia hummed. "However, I simply can’t let this pass. You people have belittled me several times, and I’d let that go. But you truly crossed the line when you people went behind my back and did something so unprofessional."
The smile on Mr. Grey’s lips faltered.
"If I remember correctly, in the use, shareholders are not given the permission to act independently without the CEO’s approval. So, because of that I’m buying you all out!"
"You can’t do that, Mrs. Wace!" Mr. Martins stood up and dered, so did the other ones.
"This is ridiculous! You can’t be serious right now."
"Mrs. Wace is absolutely right. Independently deciding for thepany’s affairs is not part of the use," Leo said, interrupting them before they would go overboard. "I am certain this is not the first business you all have invested in, so you should have known better. Or did none of you read the use when signing your contracts!" He questioned, ring at them and making it known to them they were wrong.
"This is absolute nonsense!" Mr. Martin said.
"That is all for now," Anastasia stood up and said. "Mywyer will visit you all."
"You can’t possibly be serious, Mrs Wace. We are the strength of thispany. You simply can’t just buy us out like that."
Anastasia halted when she reached the door. "Watch me do it!" Then she left.

<i>At Aurora Heights college,</i>
"Allison, you have to pass the ball to me."
"No, Allison. Pass it to me!!"
Allison huffed a breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly as sweat trickled from her damp hair, sliding down her jawline before dripping onto the ground.
Her Jersey was all dirty from being nted on the ground several times.
Quickly, Allison passed the ball to her fellow teammate, who swiftly shot in the ball directly into the goal.
"Another goal!!" They cheered.
The referee blew the whistle, signaling them it was time for their breaks.
Allison rushed out of the field, while a certain person’s re burned in her back.
"You did great, Allison," Kace cheered for her as he handed her a bottle of chilled water which she grabbed and finished in under a minute. "Are you that thirsty?"
"If you were water, I would drink you also," Allison replied, taking a seat near him.
A smile grazed Kace’s lips, but he didn’t bother toment on it.
Allison’s eyesnded on Olivia, who was talking with her friends.
Months ago since Natalie released their sex tape, Olivia had been avoiding her, and so was Derek.
After a few weeks of the video being circted everywhere, a few rumors were released which shadowed the video a little.
When the video of Michelle was released at the Best Actress Award, the video waspletely shadowed.
But Allison wasn’t the least bothered by it. She’d gotten what she wanted.
It was their college’s sports day. Allison signed up for ser, joining an opposite team with Olivia.
"I got you some ice cream pop," Natalie said, stretching her hand out and handing Allison the ice cream pop.
Allison appreciated her and they all conversed in some frivolous conversation.
However, they paused when Allison’s father came out of nowhere and interrupted.
"Allison, I need to talk to you," he said.
The trio’s heads turned as their eyes fell on the tattered looking man.
"Now," he implied.
