wave.
But fate, as unpredictable as the winds, had other plans for him. If a soothsayer had predicted these turn of
events Davis wouldn't had believed him for anything. He couldn't have imagined his story will turning around in
a short period of time.
It was a quiet evening, the kind Davis treasured, a brief rest after the stress in the office and a slow pace of
handling outstanding issues before going to bed at midnight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe sat in the study of his mansion, a glass of wine on the desk and papers scattered before him with his laptop
light as he was relaxed working on sof the outstanding projects.
The view of the city's glittering skyline stretched out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, as his mind raced in
making decisions and adjustments.
The sharp ring of his phone interrupted the silence in the study. He glanced at the screen—Ethan, his assistant.
Davis frowned. Ethan rarely called unless it was urgent.
"What is it?" Davis asked, his tone calm but firm.
Ethan's voice on the other end was fraught with tension. "Sir, we are having a critical problem at the he foreign
branch in Europe"
"Calm down and tellthe details", he said rubbing his brows with fatigue etched on his face.
Ethan progressed to file in a detailed report of the incident "There's been a major accident during the testing of
sof the projects and several lives had been lost. While the administrative manager said he had
compensated the family members, the situation had attracted the attention of the public and the government. If
not properly managed the company will be loosing billions of dollars".
Davis leaned back in his chair, processing the information. He couldn't ignore this. The situation isn't one that his
managers will handle. He has to handle it himself to ensure the credibility and to preserve the company's image.
"Schedule a flight," he said, rising from his chair. "I'll handle this personally."
Davis moved quickly, gathering his laptop and documents, his mind spinning rapidly to cup with solid
countermeasures. He didn't bother informing anyone of his departure, not even his fiancee Vera. There wasn't
much tleft. He made a mental note to put a call across to her before boarding the plane.
The drive to the airport was calm at first. His driver a seasoned one who had worked with him for several years
navigated the streets with practiced precision while Davis reviewed the various reports Ethan sent to his phone.
The city lights blurred into streaks as the car sped toward the private airstrip where his jet awaited. But then, the
unexpected happened as they approached a major intersection shattering the tranquil night.
A delivery truck barreled through a red light at full speed, its horn blaring too late to warn anyone. Davis's driver
swerved swiftly, attempting to avoid the collision, but 'boom'the truck clipped the car's rear, sending it spinning
out of control.
Tslowed and the sound of screeching tires, the shattering of glass, and the crunch of metal filled the air as
the car somersaulted severally before coming to a stop on its roof.
Davis's body jerked violently against the seatbelt, his head slamming against the window. Pain exploded through
him before he was engulfed by darkness.
