226 What Will We Be Doing Now?

"I'll never drink with her again. Never again," Xander complained as he holds his head.

The one box that Timothy brought down last night became three and the two of them ended up being down.

(Flashback)

At some point in time, the three of them ended up on the rooftop.

No one bothered them and let them bond on their own.

The can in front of Xander was already doubled in is eyes, it was his fifth one.

Timothy stopped at four for he knows that when he adds more, he would surely pass out but just like Xander his vision was already doubled.

Watching the two of them, Amber couldn't help but chuckle. She was already on her sixth and still there was nothing.

"Hey!!" Xander suddenly exclaimed looking at her, even pointing at her using is fore finger.

"Why do you look fine?" he asked.

Amber laughed because of this, e looks like a child who couldn't accept the fact that he was losing a fight.

"I told you already, you can't defeat her. That one..."

Timothy replied before coming close at Xander, whispering to his ear, "She is a monster I say, a monster. She never gets drunk no matter how much she drinks. That's like water to her."

Xander gasps before standing up walking in front of her, "That's cheating!!"

Amber laughed once again, "Is it now? Shall I forfeit then?"

"Yes, forfeit, forfeit. I win this fight, I win okay?" he even slap his chest as he declared this.

"Since you win already, bring me to my room now. Bring this master to his room," Timoty said as he placed his arm around Xander's shoulders.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?" Xander pushed his hand away from him before sitting down.

"What? You don't want to serve this master?" Timothy complained sitting down in his original position.

Amber shook her head to this before looking up to the sky.

It was a clear one with the stars shinning down upon them.

"Nathalie."

She heard them call.

Looking back at them, both have somehow turned serious and are looking at her.

"Hmmm?" she asked with a smile.

"We're sorry, you have us as your brothers but we truly are grateful that you are alive. Thank you for staying alive up to this day," Timothy said while Xander raised his can and with a smile drank the remaining contents.

The two of them dropped on the table after this little speech.

Amber blinked before she gave a defeated sigh, "Thank you as well for staying alive and waiting all these time."

(End Of Flashback)

"Where is she by the way?" Xander asked looking at Ashton.

"Could she still be asleep, did she perhaps got drunk in the end?" he then added.

"She's working," was Ashton's reply.

"W- Working?" he couldn't believe his ears.

"You- I would have pummeled you if you were younger," Xander answered.

Ashton just shrugged as he finishes his meal, before standing up.

"Gonna go to her?"

"No, I'm working as well," he answered before leaving.

Alissa and Timothy sighed.

"Why are you two sighing?" Xander asked.

"Well, those have always been like this working separately but at some point in time whatever they're doing would actually cross paths," Alissa answered.

"They don't seem getting bored no matter how much time they spent working, they have their own worlds even if they are on the same room," Timothy added.

He experienced this during the times that Ashton would visit Amber in Kuiper country.

And in truth? He admired them by how serious they are taking everything yet still find time in enjoying each others company.

"I can't do it, I can never do it," Xander shook his head as he drinks more of the hangover soup.

"No one is telling you to be like them," Samantha said as she laughed at his misery.

Xander could only puff his cheeks in this, glaring at her is a no no for she would surely hit him and that would just intensify his head ache.

"But I wonder what Amber is currently working on right now," Alissa couldn't help but comment as she look up the second floor.

"Hos is the company going?" Amber asked to Jake France whom she was having a video conferencing with.

"It is somehow starting to regain it's standing, it's bveen weeks after all. It was just right that we had the talents take smaller roles but a number of projects. Despite what happened they weren't removed from the casts."

Jake started explaining, "As for the performers, well they are doing shows under some bigger stars so even their events weren't affected. Our greatest power booster now is Gee Ann and Mathew, their duets are of top quality."

Amber nodded, "Very well, if they keep going then we will aim for a country tour. If it is a hit then we would aim for the neighboring countries. But for now, focus in their online status, we will strike once we have more overseas fans."

"That's what I thought as well, as for the others we can have them perform under Gee Ann and Mathew's events in order to introduce them as well," Jake added.

"That's a good idea, as for the other sections, I shall leave them to you. You know what to do," she then said.

"I know, don't focus everything on this side. You just reunited with your brothers, spend more time with them will you?" Jake commented.

Amber smiled, "Don't worry, we are doing just that. You shall meet them- I mean Xander once everything is truly settled in here."

"I can meet them anytime don't worry about that."

"That's right, there's one more thing," Amber said.

After speaking her mind, Jake smiled.

It was a smile of someone scheming something against the other.

"I like that, very well, we shall prepare for that. Bye now."

Amber tried to stop him but he already ended the call, she could only shake her head before calling another one.

"Hello Amber, long time no see- Brian what the hell!! Go back to your office, don't test your games here."

Amber stared blankly, the she called was Leslie and for the first time since they started she found her shouting at someone.

"Sorry about that, somehow this guy started testing his games and his ideas in my office, I could no longer concentrate at times because of its noise," she complained looking back at Amber.

"Is that Amber?" she heard on the other side.

Just then the video span and the next thing she saw was Brian who was waving at her.

"Have you seen the last game? Have you?" Brian asked enthusiastically.

"I have, will you calm down and stop moving the laptop, it's dizzying," Amber answered.

She never thought Brian would become like this once he started what he really wanted to do.

Leslie took the laptop from him and placed it back on the table, Brian sat beside her waving at Amber.

Amber raised an eyebrow, she may not be there but she can tell, these two have become closer. As for how close, well she can just learn about it on another day.

"I called you for one thing. We are now stepping up our game," Amber said after they finally settled down.

"SNN is now quite well established, it is time for it to start the reason why it was built in the first place."

Leslie turned serious, it was no longer a secret to her, the real reason behind SNN, the real reason why it was built and why she made it flourish as much as possible.

"What will we be doing now?" she asked.

Even Brian turned serious, his excitement moments ago could no longer be seen.

"Don't be too serious, it is not like we are heading for the head instantly, we will start from it's legs so what I need you to do is..."

After she explained everything, Brian and Leslie had both their brows furrowed.

"By that, aren't we going against the other instead?" Leslie asked before looking at Brian.

"Don't worry, SNN will have that plan, the other I'll take care of it myself," Amber answered full of meaning.

"Well, since you have decided there really is nothing we can do about it. We will follow your instruction then," Brian answered nodding at Leslie.

"It would be a challenge but I guess we'll manage," Leslie answered truthfully.

"I know you can, very well, I shall leave everything to you," Amber smiled and said before bidding them goodbye.

"I guess we will be seeing the change of the dynasty?" Brian commented as Leslie closed the laptop.

"Well, since it's her I guess it would surely come to fruition?" Leslie answered.

They knew of her revenge but they didn't know the deeper reason behind it, they only knew that she must take revenge on this people.

As Leslie started thinking, Brian's finger touched the area beneath her eyes, "You should not pressure yourself too much, trust yourself and trust her as well. Your eye bags are getting bigger again."
