Love Unspoken

Alexander pulled his eyes away and strolled over to the window, peering down through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

He fished out a notebook from his pocket, his fingers tracing the worn edges. He had painstakingly put it back together, page by page. Alexander murmured, "We've already blown too much time."

Kyle spotted the notebook and let out a sigh. He knew Alexander's mind had drifted far from the company and Amber Bay. He was still hanging around because there were loose ends to tie up. Kaitlyn and the others thought Alexander had been laying low for the past year out of some sense of gratitude for his upbringing. If they believed that, they clearly didn't get Alexander at all. She had nearly wrecked Alexander's whole life. As the main culprit, there was no way Alexander would let her off the hook.

And when Getty got the documents, the first person she ran to wasn't a lawyer but Kaitlyn.

When Kaitlyn saw the transfer agreement, her first thought wasn't about letting Getty take over the company.

Instead, she gently advised, "Getty, you've never run a company before. Do you really want to take on these shares?"

Getty shrugged, all casual-like. "Who says I can't learn? Nobody's born knowing how to run a company. Mom, don't you have my back?"

Kaitlyn forced a smile, saying, "Of course I do, sweetie. I'm just worried. You just got better, and now you want to jump into such a tough gig. Can your body handle it?"

"After Alexander took over, he was grinding long hours every day, sometimes even crashing at the office. Running a company isn't as easy as it looks," Getty added. Getty hesitated for a moment before asking, "So, what do you suggest?"

Kaitlyn said, "You're a girl. Girls should chill at home and enjoy life, not run a company."

She rambled on without getting to the point, so Getty asked again, "So, are you saying I should ditch this stake?"

Kaitlyn said, "Of course not. We gotta take them. Even if he doesn't marry you, the company shouldn't end up in his hands."

Getty was getting more and more impatient.

Kaitlyn said, "Of the 65% shares here, 10% are mine, and Valerie and Freya each have 10%. If you take it all, others might have issues."

Getty thought it made some sense. "Then I'll give back the shares that belong to you all."

Even if she gave away 30%, she'd still have 35%, which was plenty.

Kaitlyn fell silent for a moment.

"Getty, you're not getting my point. How about you let me decide how to split it?" Kaitlyn proposed.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Getty instantly got suspicious, eyeing Kaitlyn warily.

Kaitlyn continued, "You and Freya are both my daughters, and so is Ruby. You're all my daughters. I messed up back then, and I want to make it right. I don't want the shares. You three sisters can split them. You've had it the hardest, so how about you take 25%?"

She had it all figured out. She was getting older, and these shares were useless to her. By splitting the shares, she'd have three daughters, and at least one of them would look after her.

To outsiders, it would seem she was being fair and would earn her a good rep.

Although Getty was reluctant, Kaitlyn's distribution left her with no reason to oppose. Plus, she hadn't received the shares yet, so she couldn't fall out with Kaitlyn.

After mulling it over, she said, "Alright, but I have one condition."

Kaitlyn asked eagerly, "What condition? Just say it. If it's within my power, I'll do it."

Getty said, "I want you to hold a press conference and publicly acknowledge that I am your daughter."

Kaitlyn let out a sigh of relief. "Just that? Sure, I'll set it up right away."

No matter what, she did owe Getty that recognition.
