MEETING | REUNION

Vertex Gear board members consist of 8 persons. Which is 3 of them are directors of the company and the 5 are the main shareholders of the company including the CEO. Most of the important meetings since the beginning are only 6 people that showed up, the other 2 main shareholders are still unknown by the other board members but the CEO knows who they are. 40% of the company are own by Ms. J, Mr. Cloudd Jordan owns 20% of the company, the 2 unknown shareholders own 15% and 10% of the company, Mr. Conan Hex own 10% of the company and also the brother of Mr. Felon Hex - the Head Director. And the 5% of the shares are distributed by the investors (commoners) all over the different Districts.

Everyone is in chaos. If the price of the stock of the company will continue to drop they are all wondering what's gonna happen now? If there will be a layoff or if the company will close? Especially now that the CEO is still in an unknown state.

As soon as Kayleigh arrived at the company, Linda told her what's going on. The board members demand an emergency meeting. And as a personal assistant to the CEO they want clear explanations about the current state of Ms. J. Without the CEO, the one that is supposed to replace her is the next biggest shareholder (Mr. Cloudd Jordan) if all the board members agree to it. Mr. Felon Hex, the head director mostly taking the lead of the opinion of the other director as well. And mostly, Mr. Felon Hex favor his older brother Mr. Conan Hex. So, it means that if Mr. Conan Hex favors you then you will have 4 votes out of 8 right away. Since the other 2 main shareholders are mostly missing in action, then you will basically win the votes.

Kayleigh, went inside of the back door of the board meeting. She usually enters the main door after the CEO but she doesn't feel that it's appropriate to use it since her boss is not there. 5 gentlemen are waiting in their seats. She bow her head as a respect to them, then she sits in a guest empty chair, across where she used to sit (her boss seat is in the front of the middle of the long rectangle table). Their sitting arrangement is based on their role in the company. She usually sits on the right side of the CEO, in front of the other board members taking down notes for her boss. Then next to her front, her right side is an empty chair. Next to the right side of that empty chair is Felon Hex, next to his right side is the other director. Across to that empty chair (the left side of the CEO chair) is Mr. Cloudd Jordan, next to his left is Mr. Conan Hex, next to Mr. Conan left side is the other director. And facing the CEO's chair there are 3 empty seats, in case there are guests that needed to join the meeting. That's where Kayleigh is at the moment. After sitting, and formality she began on explaining the state of their CEO.

Lei: Thank you for your patience. I know this is a sudden situation, but as of now… The CEO is still unconscious. And she suffered from a severe traumatic brain injury and….

Mr. Jordan: You mean in a coma (Mr. Jordan cut off what Lei is trying to say)

Lei: Yes, Mr. Jordan. (Everyone looks so discouraged except for Mr. Jordan).

Mr. Jordan: Well, that's too bad. (He said this, but his face looks otherwise, he looks a bit happy about the situation).

Felon Hex: We need to settle the company, otherwise it will create a big commotion for our investors and employees as well.

Mr. Jordan: Well as you know, by the rules if you guys agree I'll be the next CEO, (with a smirk in his lips).

"You sure are in a happy mood today Mr. Jordan". Said the other director, but Mr. Jordan didn't pay attention to it.

Mr. Conan Hex: We know that but we need to take things in consideration Mr. Jordan.

Mr. Jordan: Why the wait? Who else is capable of running this whole company aside from me?(He questions them with a boastful tone).

Felon Hex: Mr. Jordan, we need to discuss this thorough

Mr. Jordan: We are discussing it already. We can conclude this right now.

Mr. Jordan looked so dismay "why do they need to wait more? According to rules, he is the next candidate to become CEO, he is becoming impatient about this.

Kayleigh is just right there sitting and listening to the discussion of the board members. She doesn't know what to say to the board members to calm them down, specially Mr. Jordan. Ever since Mr. Jordan never been on the CEO's side. He usually got scolded by Ms. J, because of the proposed projects that he did in the past that will just benefit him and not the company. Mr. Jordan was not used to being the 2nd largest shareholder before. He only owns 10% of the shares before, and 15% for the commoners investments. When the company grow bigger and become popular the share of Mr. Jordan grew so much as well. He buys the other investment from the individual investments little by little without letting the other board members know. So, if there is one person that will benefit Ms. J accident is no other than him. Mr. Cloudd Jordan. She didn't mention the fact that Ms. J, might not be the same anymore if she wakes up. Cause that will just discourage the board members even more and will just make Mr. Jordan a CEO right away even without the votes of the board members. (This is what's going on Kayleigh's mind while listening to them).

Meanwhile, Denton rode his motorcycle the same model on what his sister used. He finally arrived in District A National Hospital. After 2 days on and off the road to just get to her sister. The estimated continued long drive from District J to District A is 16 hours that is why Denton needs to stop and check in the hotel that he passed by to have a rest. He didn't travel by air cause he is trying not to get caught by his father's guard and prevent him to go to his sister. That is why the only thing he can ride without his father's knowledge is his motorbike. To prevent his father locating him through online, or atm transactions he withdraws cash before he starts his journey and put it inside his storage bag on the tail of his big bike.

He went to the lobby and ask where is Ms. Jera Everley Jupiter room is. And they told him that she is still on the 5th floor in the ICU. He went inside the elevator and finally reached the 5th floor, his walking in the hallway the nurses can't help it to turn their head or stare at the guy that was walking. His face is serious but his eyes are full of worry. But despite that it can't hide his charm and handsome face. His sister room is just in front of the nurse station, and the door is open for close monitoring. Still standing in the hallway, next to the door of his sister's room. He finally saw his sister that he didn't see for so long but he didn't expect to have a reunion in this kind of situation. He is a big guy, and so manly but at that moment, he can't help but have a teary eye for his sister. He walks slowly to get closer to his sister, he feels sorry for her, seeing her strong, optimistic and full of life sister is now in this hospital bed. She has a tube in her mouth that is connected to a ventilator to help her breath. He held his sister's hand and squeeze it.

"Big sis, I'm here. I am finally able to visit you here in District A. I'm sorry if I can't visit you here more often like I wanted too, cause you know what father is like and it's even worse when he got married to that woman. The last time I saw you was when I turned 21 years old, and that's 4 years ago when you attended my birthday party at home. But dad ruined the party anyway, cause he didn't want you there. That is the first time that you come home again after you left when you were 16 y/o but our father just has to ruin that day because of that woman. There are a lot of things I wanted to tell you so wake up soon okay?" He placed his sister's hand to his cheek. And his teardrops on his sister's hand.

There is one female nurse that is reviewing the case of Ms. J in the nurse station. And when she notices that someone is inside of her room she gets up and goes into her room. She got distracted and left the file on the counter. She knocks on the door, and Denton, wipe his tears and put his sister's hand down slowly then he faces the nurse. (It is the same nurse who called and assisted Kayleigh then). The nurse bow her head a bit to greet the guest.

Denton: Nurse, can you give me the update on my sister?

Nurse: We are just monitoring her, Sir. She has a coma at the moment cause of the accident she had.

Denton: Is there anyway to know when she might wake up?

Nurse: No one can tell that Sir, we just need to wait. No need to worry Sir, cause we make sure that she is well monitored. We make sure that her vitals is still in normal range and if incase there is an emergency happen we will let you know as well as her guardian.

Denton: Thank you… wait… Guardian???

Nurse: Yes Sir, the Guardian of your sister was here yesterday when she was in the operating room.

Denton: And how is the guardian related to my sister? (He wonders if his guess is right, if her sister's personal assistant is the guardian or is it her sister's boyfriend if there is any?)

Nurse: She told me that she is the secretary of your sister, your sister is lucky to have a loyal employee she was here from around lunch time until past midnight. If I didn't ask her to leave prolly she stayed here longer than that.

Then one of the nurses called the nurse that's talking to Denton. They needed to assist one patient in a CODE BLUE in one of the rooms in the ICU. Curious of who was the Guardian of his sister, he went to the nurse station who is currently empty because of the emergency, and he looked around looking for a file that related to the room 504 where her sister is at the moment. He saw a folder that was left on the counter and he picked it up and read that it was the file that he's looking for. Then he saw the guardian information, He grabbed his phone in his pocket and he took a photograph of that page. And he put the file the way it was left. Then He went back to his sisters room.

"BIg sis, you are lucky to have this secretary of yours hmmm… Kayleigh Camilla DeKnight".
