Sally was curious about the tension between them, but Kysons expression soured.
He rose and followed Dulcie upstairs, giving Sally no opportunity to inquire.
Left alone, Sally felt a throbbing headache coming on.
What happened to these two people? Before their trip to Medican, Dulcie and Kyson were planning a date.
After returning, their relationship seemed drastically altered.
The following day, they resumed work as normal, but their changed demeanor was palpable to the Shaw family.
The air felt heavy with tension. After the couples departure from the house, Sally, still dining, swiftly grabbed Ryders attention and inquired, Ryder, what transpired between those two? Theyre driving me up the wall.
Ryder, leisurely breaking apart his bread and eating, replied with a slow drawl, Why the fuss? It doesnt concern you.
With a huff, Sally retorted, Im merely looking out for my family.
You think Im as aloof as you? Ill be telling Grandma once shes back.
After her statement, Sally downed a glass of milk and stormed out.
Ryder watched her leave, shaking his head, pondering why his sister couldnt shake her penchant for snitching.
At the Shaw Group, a crucial staff meeting for the new season was underway, with all employees seated in the conference hall.
With the year nearing its close, Kyson assigned the final tasks for the year to various departments, with the business and products departments receiving the heaviest loads.
In the meeting room, Kyson exuded an imposing presence, which weighed heavily on everyone present.
Each attendee could easily discern that Kyson was not in a good mood.
Previously, there had been quiet whispers, but now, under his stern gaze, no one dared to utter a word, fearing that the CEO might make an example of them.
I hope you can give yourselves the most satisfactory answers at the end of this year.
Both you and the company will benefit from it. Naturally, a relaxing Christmas awaits you, but⦠Kyson paused abruptly, causing a wave of tension to ripple through the room.
Everyone held their breath, anticipating his next statement.
Kysons gaze swept over the attendees, pausing briefly on Dulcie before moving on, and he added, If anyone chooses to stir up trouble during this period, dont hold it against me for taking a harsh stance.
The silence in the conference hall was so profound that none of the more than 1, 000 attendees dared to make a sound.
Once Kyson had delegated all tasks, the meeting concluded.
Everyone dispersed except for Dulcie, whom Kyson had asked to remain.
Lately, the two hadnt spoken; Kurt had been delivering documents in her stead.
