I instantly flipped at the sight of another document sliding across me.

My colleagues are wondering what is going on and happening to me. But only the both of us are in the know while the rest are in the dark.

I bit my lips and tried to voice out, but my voice never came through.

Ashley and I sit at the desk wondering about our next moves. Of course, we knew deep down what is the right course of action and what is our next actions but it is going to be a hell of a ride.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I try to negotiate the financing terms and conditions with Ashley again. This time, I wanted a clear overview of the entire situation at hand. It is crucial we get the details down to the very minutiae.

Nonetheless, it is what it is. The gravity of the situation is locked and step. I did not know what to do next.

And neither did Ashley. The piles of paperwork sit atop glaring.
