I stood there dumbfounded when she said that. Why will they shut the company down? Hayley worked her ass off to revive it. She even sacrificed our family times just to work here.

It seems impossible. It's like my chest was hit by a thunder.

There's a crib here in Hayley's office that was made for Zion so I put him there then walked back to her.

I squatted in front of her chair and held her hands.

"Then don't worry, babe. I can support you and Zion." I comforted.

"I appreciate it but you don't need to. This company is my dream. I've dreamt of this all my life and it's gone." I wiped her tears.

I know how much she treasures this company. But she's my wife and I sure can support her and Zion. She have no choice.

Hayley stood up and faced the glass windows. The tears on her eyes is gone now but she still looks emotional but in an understated way.

"Let it all out." I rubbed her back and kissed her temple.

I carried Zion and walked outside her office. Zion was pouting again because his mommy didn't carry him.

I closed the door and waited for Hayley.

HAYLEY'S POV

I took a deep breath. My chest feels so heavy from all that happened earlier. They told me that I have only one week to evacuate here.

I felt sorry for my people. Their words made me weak.

"What will we do now, boss? How can we support our families without our job?"

It's my fault that they can't support their own families now. It's because that I was too relaxed. If I supervised here regularly, we would still be on top.

Robert closed the door and I took a deep breath again. I turned around and slammed my desk.

I let my depression, anger and frustration out. I slammed everything in my sight.

"FUCK EVERYTHING!" I shouted and broke all the monitors on my desk.

I threw a portrait on the wall and it shattered. Broken glasses are everywhere now but I didn't care. All I want to do now is let every pint of anger out.

I threw the chairs and couches and I smashed all of the things inside.

The tears fell out but I continued my rage. I slammed a laptop on the wall and it broke into pieces.

"I'm sorry, Devon. I'm so sorry." I sobbed and collapsed on the floor.

I let him down. This company was our life-long dream but I failed in just one click. I felt ashamed of myself. What will my friends say? What will my brothers and my dad say? I don't want Richard to know about this because he just told me that he's proud of me because I achieved everything. He might disown me again.

My office looks like it was demolished by a wrecking ball now. Everything was broken.

I took all of my power to stand up. I feel like i'm about to faint now because of the heavy emotions.

I opened the door and Robert was waiting for me outside while carrying Zion.

I felt happiness when I saw my boys. It gave me an important lesson: Money is only a piece of paper and love is a piece of treasure.

I walked slowly to him and his golden brown eyes met mine. He gave me a warm smile and offered me his one arm.

Robert pulled me into a hug and I pressed my head against his chest. Me in his one arm and Zion at the other.
