Chapter 42 -Thomas ' POV : The mentioning of the invitations , Darius thought this would be a good time to ask about Damon . Speaking coolly , Darius walked closer to Aaron " I've been meaning to ask Chairman , what exactly is your relationship to my older brother Damon ? " Thomas and the Crests all looked at Darius in shock , why was he asking about Damon ? Daniel's face suddenly darkened , he hadn't expected Darius to flat out ask the chairman . He'd hope they would have time to speak with the family first , but Darius just blurted it out ! Davis gave a puzzled took to his son . " Darius , the chairman doesn't know Damon , why would you as- " " Because he's here . " Darius cut his father off ; his gaze never leaving Aaron , there was something about his coolness that concerned Darius . He had a feeling there was something going on and an uneasy feeling began to creep into his chest . Amber's gasp broke his train of thought . " A - Are you saying Damon is here this evening ? In THIS ballroom ? " Thomas could feel the color draining from his face , if Damon revealed the truth about Rabena , they would all be screwed ! Grabbing Darius ' arm , Daniel spoke up . " Darius , might we have a word with our family in private for a moment . " He spoke in earshot so that Aaron couldn't hear them . Darius gave Daniel a quick look , he'd realized this was not the best way to handle things . Letting out a slight sigh , he nodded in agreement . Daniel smiled coolly at Aaron about to apologize when he noticed a slight smirk on his face . Something was definitely going on . " My apologies Chairman Michales , I need to have a word with my family for a moment . ' Aaron gave a polite but dark smile , just as he suspected , they'd seen Damon which was causing them to panic . This was most certainly going to be fun . Aaron gave a polite nod approving Daniel's request . After thanking him , Thomas along with the Crests walked frantically away . Once they found a secluded section , Thomas pushed Darius against the wall . " What the fuck is going on Darius ! Damon is here ? " Thomas seethed as he barked in a quiet tone sure not to cause a scene . Daniel then grabbed his shoulder pulling his back . " Take it easy Lockwood ! Yes ... Damon is here . " Everyone stood with their faces pale , they knew this could cause some serious problems . Thomas ran his fingers through his hair in frustration . " I don't understand , what the hell is he doing here ; and why the hell didn't you both tell me ! " Darius walked up to Thomas ' face ; he'd had enough of lim acting like they were his assistants . " Let's be clear Lockwood , we don't work for you . This really doesn't concern you ; Damon is OUR brother . " Thomas began to seethe , had this fool forgotten what was at stakel " In case you've forgotten Darius , we're here tonight to secure the MGT deal . That DOES concern me as it does you all ass well ? Have you forgotten , thaman could blow the whistle on this whole thing if he tells Mifhales the truth ! " Amber let out an exasperated sigh , that runy ! Causing trouble again ! That's all she ever does ! Danielle also looked around in a panic , if word got out about how the Crests treated Rabena this could ruin them all . She wasn't about to lose her chance to snatch Chairman Michaels . From the moment she'd saw him . she decided she wanted to be the chairman's wife , no longer interested in marrying Thomas . In a sugary voice , she decided to speak " Maybe we should all find Damon , if we can reason with him , maybe he'll help us . " 1/2 Chapter 42 Darius looked over at Danielle with irritation , he'd saw how she was looking at the chairman He also noticed how the chairman looked at her and he could have sworn he saw hints of disgust in his eyes . " Dani , I don't think Damon cares about what we're trying to do . " " Then make him ! " Voice raising , Danielle was starting to lose her patience .
