Jayden and his mother step out. Both look solemn. The room collectively relaxes.

Jayden glances atas they go to their seats.

Wait! Jayden sits beside Judy. He doesn't take up the head seat. She looks like she's lost a billion dollars and

picked up a quarter. Is the company broke? | should not enjoy this so much because it directly affects my

daughter.

But we've been okay without billions so far, we can live without it. I'm not so sure Judy can though. It's more the

lack of power and prestige that will clip her wings.

Her fall from grace could be spectacular and I'm here for all of it.

They don't say a word. Jayden just puts his hand up to quiet the buzz. The elevator doors close again and the

numbers light up. It's going up? Is there even an up from here? Maybe Heaven? | look quizzically at Lance next to

me.

"Helipad on roof. Someone's arrived by helicopter," he whispers.

Holy shit. This is really happening. Lucky | bought the townhouse outright because | may not be able to afford

rent or mortgage payments after today.

The elevator pings again and the number for our floor lights up. You could hear a pin drop in here right now. The

tension is thick. Even the board members seem to be in the dark about who this is.

The doors slide open and he steps out. | stare at him, absolutely mesmerized. | don't know this man, but | do

think I'm looking at a carbon copy of Jayden in thirty years.

Those exact blue eyes. Wavy hair but all white. A fine cut of suit looking every bit as fit underneath as Jayden is

now.

Wow! | don't know who he is, but I do know without a doubt, he is a Brennan.

| glance over at Judy and Jayden. He's looking puzzled but also is studying this man intensely. It can't be his

father, he's dead. Judy is actually open-mouthed.

The shock on her face is clear. | think things just got julcy. | look at Lance and he looks atand shrugs. He has

no clue either. Nobody does from the looks on their faces. Except for Judy. She definitely does.

| see our mystery Brennan's eyes lock onto Judy's and she holds his gaze a second and then looks away. Her face

is flushed, and she has her hands bunched tightly in front of her.

| wish | could take a photo so | could use it to cheer myself up when needed.

My own delight aside, if this man has Judy in such a quandary, he must be like God or something. Maybe the

Devil himself has arrived in human form for all | know.

"Good morning, everyone." His deep, clear voice booms out across the room and he stands at the head of the

table i guess you're surprised to see me."

| notice everyone looking around at each other with curiosity. From what | can tell from body language,

something expert marketers are expert at, no one has any clue.

His voice, richer and more mature but nevertheless Jayden's voice, sets my heart racing. There's just something

in his tone that screams 'obeyor else’.

He's taller than Jayden, just a little, and broader. He owns the room. | think he'd own any room and probably

every woman in it.

It's not sexual attraction, it's his aura of authority. He commands respect. | think I'll be out of a job by the end of

this. I'll be nothing but an annoying bug under his foot.

If he is now majority owner, no doubt he will have a first-born heir in line for the fortune. So, Jayden will probably

fall down the pecking order as well.

By the way this man just stared at Judy after he said 'surprised to see me, | don't think she ever made the

pecking order. But she holds his gaze till he looks away from her and addresses the room again.

"Thank you all for coming and I apologize for the lack of information surrounding my arrival." He paces the floor

at the end of the table. "By now you all know of the hostile takeover. Majority share of this company is now

owned by me, Gus Brennan."

| hear sudden intakes of breath and there's definite shuffling in seats. Okay, now we know something. Well, not

me, I'm still oblivious to why this nmatters. Judy is looking down at the table.

| get the feeling this man probably timed his own birth down to the exact second. His words continue to hold the

room captive.

"I will use the f

and scans us all. "For the lucky ones."

Mentally I'm packing up my office.
