"But- But—" she protested. What about Quetz? How would he relocate? Everything else paled in front of her dragon. Azura stood there like a stubborn mule. He didn't budge from his offer and at the same time it was something she couldn't let go. This was like once in a lifetime opportunity. "I need time to think Mr. Fraziers," she requested. "Okay," he added quickly. "If I don't hear from you in a week, I will give this position to someone else." He could sense her enthusiasm to join the job and so…-

The ceremony was over in the next one hour and Dawn had to bear the torture of sitting there under Azura's scrutiny. Little did she know that Azura was the leader of the Neotides. Cole was hopping with joy when she came to him after the function ended. "Dawn!" he hugged her tightly. Then he looked at the two girls who were staring at Dawn with jealousy. "This is my sister," he exclaimed with pride exuding from his face. This information immediately brought a smile to their faces. "She is now a…

"Dawn, what time does the ceremony begin?" asked Cole as he adjusted his bow tie while looking in the mirror. He was too excited to go to his sister's graduation ceremony. The fifteen year old had come to her room only to cheer her up. He was already as tall as Dawn and some of their features were similar. He had become pretty popular in his new school, mostly on the romantic front. And not because he was a brilliant child. Staying on the top was expected out of him. Studies weren't a problem but it was…

Professor McElroy wasn't seen in the University for a long time. Rumors were that he had gone on a continued leave and that a Company from America had sued him for trying to harm their image with malicious intent. Dawn ignored him totally. She didn't even attempt to meet him. She was aware that the professor was related to the Dean, so sometimes she used to become scared that the Dean might come back to her with revenge, however none of that happened because of reasons not known to her. She concluded…

A wide grin erupted on Professor McElroy's face. He couldn't believe that the people from The Silver House had come to recruit him so soon. This was like a dream come true. There were butterflies in his chest as he took a small intake of breath. He literally jumped from his chair and ran to Neal. In a light voice he said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Perry." He shook Neal's hands intensely. "It is such a pleasure to have you here." His excitement was over the top. McElroy could almost imagine the expensive cars,…

The same week the Editor of the Journal called Professor McElroy and congratulated him. "Your paper has collected a lot of attention. Many people are asking about its author. I think you should come out and claim it. Why have you chosen to be anonymous about it?" Professor McElroy was excited. His eyes became wide with a glint of joy. The dream of going to America and working for a big firm like The Silver House was about to come to realization. He had heard that the company offered over $300,000 to its…

A soft knock on the door interrupted them. Daryn was addressing the group. He looked at the door for a moment and then continued to talk to the men. "Gentlemen, in the new scenario, we will be laying off the jobs of those who are going to get a 'B' grade in performance assessments for two years in a row. I am not going to tolerate any tardiness. You will identify people under you who have received those grades and keep a close watch on them." Reyna rose from her chair and opened the door. Reyna…

Dawn's research on "The Mink Corporation" yielded results that she found extremely interesting. The Company was about to float its shares in the public and so it had released its company's prospectus for the general public to see its finances and profits. Everything looked very healthy but Dawn wasn't satisfied so she dug deeper and checked recent news. There was a talk about its takeover by another well-established company, but the Silver House management had refused the offer. Dawn took her notes down.…

Feeling mentally paralyzed at his behavior, Maya had to grab the corner of the desk to balance herself from falling over. Her mouth fell open as she gazed him with embarrassment. "I— When I saw you with a frown on your face and the skin bunching around your eyes, I thought you were pained. There is so much work piled on you at the moment. So I got up and came to soothe you." "Pain? What pain? I wasn't in any pain," Daryn denied her baseless accusation. "And next time don't do that," he said sternly.…

Dressed in a fine, designer black suit, blue shirt and a black tie, Daryn Silver stepped out of his black Mercedes SUV. He tossed the key to the guard at his office's entrance and walked inside his thirty-story office building, The Silver House, which was all glass, steel and black granite. It jagged upwards like high snow clad mountains piercing the blue sky. The architect who designed the building had made his dream come true. The interior decorator had not left a stone unturned to create an example of…
