Fire And Flame

Fire And Flame,

“Mr. David, do you have anything to say to prove your innocence?” a lady in her mid-twenties, asked the man standing in front of her desk. Her face was full of grace, her brown eyes reflected confidence, and her attitude; a class apart.
“No, Ma’am. I have nothing else to say. I admit my mistakes.” David’s eyes were downcast and had no courage to look at her fierce eyes.
“Draft a termination letter and specify the remarks in the code of conduct certificate. Make sure you report every single mistake he committed during his stay in this company.” the lady directed her secretary, Lily, while reaching out to a file, out of the stack of files on her desk.

“Leave.” She looked at the man hanging his head in dishonor.

Laura Williams, the Chief Executive Officer of a huge conglomerate, is known for her impeccable business ac.u.men, accompanied by her equally fierce and ruthless demeanour.

A perfectionist, a loving daughter, and a responsible sister, she started working at a very young age to earn enough to not let her father leave her again. Her only dream was to have a happy family who always spent time together. But destiny had its own plans. One day, her whole family died in a car crash, when she was just fifteen years old. Her relatives abandoned her. In the time of need, she had only her best friend, Lily, and her mother, who had always stood by her side. They were her only family.

An all-rounder of her school, a gold-medalist of her university, she set an ideal example for the world. She devoted her whole life to working hard and becoming successful, whatever her parents had dreamed for her. Named one of the “Top CEOs of the world” and a history of a decent past, Laura was one of the most desirable bachelorettes. Despite that, she had no intention of seeking a partner or starting a family of her own.

But what will happen when the CEO of the largest conglomerate, Brandon Reynolds, crosses paths with her accidentally?
