Chapter 17

• “What do you mean I signed the wrong document??! Don’t I pay you to make sure that never happens??!” Jordan flipped over the glass table in a rage. Barry loosened his tie and cowered in the corner, beads of sweat scattered on his forehead.
• “Look Jordan, why don’t we all take five? Let’s step outside so you can get a bit of fresh air and collect our thoughts?” Ryan put his hand on Jordan’s shoulder and he shrugged it off, before storming into the cool night-or morning rather.

The sun was peeping through the clouds when he jumped out and collapsed onto the well-manicured lawn.
