I Am The Luna

Chapter 40

A Bitter Surprise

ZAIA.

Something happened, and I don’t mean the lights simply going off. When Sebastian walked through the conference hall doors after the turmoil had died down; I could sense the rage that was burning behind those eyes.

I don’t know what happened, but the news of Mr Harrison’s son being attacked had spread and that had caused a delay to the final half of the meeting. But Mr Harrison refused to cancel it despite his son being rushed to the hospital.

Understandable, since everyone here had come from all over the states. “Do they know what happened to him?” One of the men asks another quietly.

“No, but whoever it was, hit him quite badly. They think he was hit with a weapon. His jaw is completely smashed by the looks of it…” The man trails off when Mr Keith Harrison steps into the rooms, now flanked by two guards, as he adjusts his jacket.

“Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen… Security is handling the matter and the building will be on lockdown until they make sure all threats are cleared. There is nothing to fear. Shall we continue?”

The fact that he’s saying that, it’s almost as if he isn’t surprised something happened to his son. I have heard a lot about the young heir, and he is trouble.
