PS. Back.
"Sir, is there anything else I can get for you?" A classic looking female clad in a black suit asked the lone and powerful figure standing next to the window.
He shook his head, his back facing the lady in black. She nodded and bowed slightly before shutting the door.
Couple of minutes later, there was a knock and a stranger strode in. "Son, I've just received an invitation to Jack and Syd's wedding."
The figure turned slowly then walked back to his seat.
"What do you have to say about this, son?"
He kept quiet and started to read the file on his table instead.
"Are you going to keep from them about this? Will you ever regret?"
"Give them my best wishes, dad. I know what I'm doing." He replied, his eyes still scanning the pages.
"You are taking over this company for good?"
He smirked. "Do I have a choice?"
"I hope you know what you are doing. But I'm glad that you are taking over that seat. I've waited long."
"Good, don't worry about me, dad. I'm fine."
"We'll talk again soon. Now good luck son." The older man stood up and walked out.

Sydney wore a dress that was a vivid pink, a color that didn't flatter most women. But the vibrant color intensified the blue of her eyes, the rosy bloom in her cheeks, and the sunlit gold of her hair.
The sleeveless dress had a ruffled neckline that cut straight across her collarbone, but was scooped out all the way to her waist in back. The full skirt swirled around her calves, almost touching the ankle straps of her white sandals. Her hair was piled on top of her head and secured there with white camellias. She looked perfect.
Sydney stared out into the blue sea, her mind full of the missing man, Sky. She was getting married and she wanted him to be there, for her and for Jack. 'Where are you, Sky? Come back to us.'
"What are you thinking, Syd?" Jack hugged her from behind.
Sydney turned around and smiled. "Hi, what brings you out here?"
"You."
"Oh, Jack."
His mouth ground into hers, his lips hot and firm, his arms straining her to him so tightly that she couldn't take a breath. Her senses spun wildly, overwhelmed by the sudden excess of pleasurable messages that were ricocheting along her nerves.
She could feel his steely strength in the muscles of his shoulders, taut under her clenched fingers.
Minutes later, Jack pulled apart slightly. "Thinking about Sky?"
Unable to hide her embarrassment, she looked downwards at her sandals. "Jack, I'm sorry. It's not what you think, I'm just worried."
"I understand, honey. I understand. We'll find him soon."
