Chapter 180: I can’t be like my father

KEITH’S POV

The meeting with my lawyers didn’t last very long. I mean it was a pretty straightforward case with an outcome we all anticipated on the day of the hearing.

My lawyers confirmed what I had already been thinking. That this was an open and shut case. They thought that as soon as the judge opened the file he would quickly come to a decision. We might not even need the second hearing. Jasmine I’m sorry but you’ve lost this one.

I escorted the lawyers to the door and we agreed to have a final discussion on our plan for Monday just before the weekend. I then got back to my desk to continue doing paperwork before I had my next meeting. It was about an hour later around midmorning when Edward returned to my office.

"Sir, the CEOs of all the subsidiaries have arrived in the meeting room," he informed me.

"Okay, let’s go," I said as I got up from my desk seat and left my office with him. Upon arriving I found the subsidiary managers/CEOs seated. They greeted me as I went to stand at the head of the table.

I greeted the men back and started the meeting. Among all the attendees my eyes landed on my half-brother for a moment then looked away. He was also one of the subsidiary CEO’s present. His branch operated in the city of Polister so he didn’t live in Yorkshire.

"Thank you all for coming, gentlemen," I started. "As you we will be discussing the current performance of all subsidiaries.

I then turned to Edward who was near me to start the presentation on the projector which at behind me at the front of the meeting room.

"So as a formality we have to start with..." I continued and pointed to the screen.

Nearly, 3 hours later the meeting came to end and I made my final announcement. "Please, there is lunch being served

The meeting had been so long that it went over lunchtime so I had a meal plan ready ahead of time. I made my way to the cafeteria with them where we continued discussions we had had in the meeting room.

After lunch many of the Managers said their goodbyes to me and and leaving to return their respective HQ’s. I noticed I had lost Edward who had disappeared during lunch. As I left the cafeteria I saw Kolton walking down.

"Kolton," I greeted him being polite.

"Keith," he greeted as well.

Moments later I found Edward coming from the same direction.

Edward where did you go I’ve been looking for you?" I asked him.

"I apologize sir, I was making a call to my mother," he said to me.

When I arrived home later that evening I felt a heavy weight come over. The feeling heightened when I was greeted by Diana when I entered the dressing room of our bedroom. She was holding sone dresses and inspecting them. My eyes unconsciously went to her belly recalling she was pregnant.

"How was your day Darling?" she asked me.

"It was good dear, and yours?" I asked, trying to match her cheery energy. "What are doing?" I asked her as I looked at the clothes she held.

"Just going through some outfits wear in the next days," she answered. "Maybe this one Incan wear at the court hearing. When is it again, Monday?" she asked me.

I internally frowned at the fact that that was what was on her mind.
