Crack!
A loud sound echoed in the room.
In a fit of anger, Mekhi hurled the porcelain bowl in front of him to the floor, shattering it into pieces.
Both Ryder and Sally shook with fear.
Sallys eyes welled up with tears. She nervously bit her lip and offered an apology, Mekhi, please dont be upset. I shouldnt have said those words.
Mekhis expression softened.
Even though you may not have strong feelings for Noelle, she is your sister. Shes dealing with serious illness and some mental challenges. As her younger sister, shouldnt you pay her a visit?
Okay. I will visit her later today.
Be careful on the way. Ill arrange for two bodyguards to go with you.

With fork in hand, Mekhi regained his usual relaxed demeanor.
Our dishes are getting cold. Dont sit and watch. Lets continue our meal.

Only then did Ryder and Sally feel at ease to eat. They bent their heads and focused on eating.
After some time, Mekhi inquired, Ryder, have you been occupied with work Lately?

Ryder, who could barely endure thirty minutes of military training without discomfort, wondered how he could endure the daily missions and constant activity demanded by the National Security Bureau.
He cried in his heart and questioned if Mekhi was intentionally venting his frustrations on him.
Without glancing at him, Mekhi said in a serious tone, Start handling the companys affairs remotely on a computer and spend more time at the National Security Bureau to establish yourself there.
With a forlorn expression, Ryder hesitantly inquired, Mekhi, can I decline?
Of course, Mekhi replied.
Ryder felt a glimmer of hope. Just as he was about to firmly refuse, Mekhi added, However, if you decline, Ill perceive it as a lack of ambition and dedication. Last night, I prepared a cane for Sally, and it has been unused. Why dont you try the cane and receive fifty lashes?
