Chapter 51

  * Pedro's POV*

  When Sean came to my study in the morning, I was leaning against the sofa and staring at the ceiling blankly.

  Sean looked at me and then at the empty wine bottles and the almost full ashtray on the table. After a while, he sighed, "You didn't sleep last night?" His voice was full of concern.

  I didn't answer.

  "Don't you remember you have a board conference today? Oh, you need to take a shower," Sean shook his head and said as he walked close to me.

  I stretched my arm, touched my jaw, and felt the newly grown mustache.

  Finally, I stood up and went to the bathroom.

  After taking a shower, shaving, and putting on clean clothes, I looked fresh again. My eyes were black-ringed, but it was fine.

  I looked in the mirror and saw my eyes returned to cool.

  I needed to handle what was going to happen at the conference first. I would not let anyone challenge my authority.
