Maxine shook her head slightly. “I’m not sure either. That’s my opinion after watching his fight with Donovan. Only he has the answers.”
Thea smiled. “We’ll know once he gets back.”
The three gathered and discussed the events that unfolded at the Western Border.
Soon, Quincy returned.
Though Quincy had her own place to stay, she was feeling bored alone. Thus, she would normally go to Cynthia’s place after work. After all, her villa was vast and spacious.
Quincy was fatigued after a whole day of work.
“You’re back. Where’s James though?” Quincy walked over to them. Then, tossing her handbag casually aside, she took a seat on the sofa.
Thea nodded. “He’s safe now. He should be here soon.”
“That’s great.”
Quincy breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she grumbled, “I’ll make him treat me to a meal. For his company, I have been working day in and day out. I don’t even have time to eat. It’s nearly midnight and I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Do you have anything here that I can eat, Cynthia?”
“I’ll order the kitchen to make you dinner.” Cynthia immediately stood up and ordered the chef to prepare a meal.
Thea asked, “How’s it going at the company?”
Quincy sighed. “Things were going smoothly, but some smaller businesses seem to have second thoughts about the whole thing. Perhaps they were bribed or blackmailed by Centennial Corporation, which has begun picking up speed. Meanwhile, over here at Messiah, there isn’t any new medicine at the moment. We have to make haste and develop new medicine to make our presence known in the markets, or else we’ll forever be eclipsed by Centennial.”
She was working hard, but fighting against Centennial had taken a toll on her.
“You’ve worked hard,” Maxine consoled her. “Things will get better. Hang in there for another two months. After the Mount Thunder conference, everything will change.”
“Let’s hope I survive until then. I’m going to take a shower.” Quincy stood up and headed upstairs.
Thea sighed deeply.
Maxine asked, “What’s wrong, Thea? Why are you sighing?”
