Derek POV I try to get my anger under control as I move through the lobby of the Coleman building. I make my way to my private elevator and press the button for the top floor. The fact that I had to leave Briar to attend the meeting with Calob alone is not sitting well with me and these ba**ards are the reason. I know she can handle seeing Calob. My girl is strong, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be with her for support. The elevator opens, and I'm shocked to see my father seated on the large red couch that is outside the reception area. "Dad, I didn't expect to see you today." "You didn't think I would miss this opportunity for you to stick it to those jack-offs. Once you have mine and your mother's shares, you will have control and the board won't have sh*t to say about things.
