Brittney was now in constant communication with Lawrence. She did not want a repeat of what had happened weeks before to repeat itself. She had not yet spoken to Ayden about the issue because both of them had been busy. Her father had requested a meeting with them to discuss about the MoU that they would have with Blue Journey Media (BJM). She just hoped that both her father and Ayden will agree with her strategies. She smiled as she remembered Lawrence agreeing with her proposals and also adding some of his ideas.

Her father looked at her with a raised brow but she ignored and sat at the seat next to Ayden, as she tried to control her breathing.
"Look who has decided to join the meeting five minutes late, so unprofessional." Ayden commented with a sneer. Brittney knew what he was trying to do. Get a reaction from her and make their father to scold her. Even if she didn't react, she knew that her father would still scold her for being late and talk of how leaders were to lead by example and bla, bla, bla. If Ayden wanted to play dirty, she had some tricks under her sleeves.
