《NEVER JUDGE》Chapter 2

“Sit.” Cedric commanded.
Camilla and Ian obeyed. At that Cedric grinned.
“I’m still the same person.”
“Y-y-you’re the heir of Reyes Group?” Ian managed to stutter out.
“Yes. And I would prefer no one in Mor Co. figured it out. If I know my Marco’s efficiency by the time we get back to the office my appointment as an assistant to the President of Mor Co. will be announced. At the same time, all business registrations of Mor Co. will be moved to my name. All the directors will be informed of this but no one else.”
Camilla and Ian nodded in understanding.
“For now Ian, set a meeting for tomorrow morning with all of the directors. Ask them to prepare a report on the current status of their department as well as how far they are from hitting their targets this year. I expect this meeting to last the whole morning.” Ian quickly jotted down notes.
“Camilla, I want the sales and marketing departments to create a detailed report on our standing vs. our competitors as well as details on our biggest competitors. Ask them to suggest other opportunities as well in order for us to expand. I plan to make Mor Co. the largest phone manufacturer in the country in the future.”
Cedric’s instructions were clear and easy to follow. Camilla and Ian were recognized as top talents even among other employees at Reyes Group, it came to a surprise to everyone when three years ago both were moved from the main company to a subsidiary. From the start, Camilla and Ian knew they were being groomed to become assistants to the future President of the Reyes Group.
“Let’s head back.” Cedric said as he stood.
“Sir, we arranged for a car to take us back,” Ian said.

“Alright. Tell the driver to drop us off a block away from the office so no one sees us.”
“Should we arrive together sir?” Camilla asked.
“Yeah. We could say that we were bonding as new teammates.” Cedric suggested.
“Sir we weren’t sure about your taste in decorations or set up so we still need to discuss your office’s layout.” Camilla explained.
“Let’s discuss it tomorrow afternoon after the morning meeting. For now the current setup will do.”
While Cedric and his assistants were meeting, Marco had already completed transferring Mor Co.’s majority shares to Cedric. 80% were in his name while the balance was distributed within the Reyes family. At the same time all the directors had been informed that Cedric was the heir to Reyes Group and that they were to keep their mouth sealed on the matter.
On the ride back to Mor Co. Cedric’s phone began to ring, it was his mother.
“Mom?” Cedric asked.
“You had lunch with your father and didn’t tell me?” Cedric’s mom was furious.
“Mom I missed you.” Cedric said in the sweetest voice he could.
“That won’t work. Anyway, your father said you’ll celebrate your birthday with us this year! That’s great. Will you be bringing your wife?” Priscilla Reyes always went straight to the point with her questions never minding to sugar coat anything with her children.
“Not yet mom. I’m not yet ready.” Cedric confessed.
“Alright. I was looking forward to meeting her.” Priscilla said in a sad tone.
“Let’s talk next time mom. I’m almost at the office.” Cedric said bidding his mother goodbye.
At Mor Co. news spread fast. His co-employees were quick to congratulate Cedric on his promotion to Assistant to the President. Ian helped him tidy up his desk and bring his things to his fake desk at the president’s office at the top floor.

Upon arriving he was greeted by the directors and the former president of Mor Co., Mattias Gram.
“Mr. Reyes it’s an honor to work for you. Who knew that such an excellent young man was working in our ranks for the past five years.” Mattias greeted him, Mattias was slightly worried that he might have mistreated Cedric Reyes in the past.
“Mattias, I know you’ve been doing your best for the company all these years, where has my father decided to move you?” Cedric asked.
“Your father has offered me a generous position in the mother company. Sir please feel free to contact me if you need any help with Mor Co.”
The rest of the directors proceeded to greet him. By the time their small reception was over Cedric realized he had ended up staying late, Adrianna’s mom would be furious.

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

The Blue Tower
When I heard a soft, and gentle voice, asking me if I'd like to go to a new world, far away from here... I didn't even think twice about it. My life on Earth could hardly have been any worse, right then - and the chance to start back over was more than I could have dreamed of. But now that I'm here, I'm starting to discover that this new world is really nothing like what I had been expecting. Right now, I'm all alone, in the middle of a huge, and darkened forest, with nobody to tell me where to go, or what to do next. And somewhere, far off in the distance... I can hear something huge, and strong, moving slowly through the woods. Before, I was hoping to get the chance to start my life up all over again. But now, I'm just hoping to make it safely through the night. Maybe once I achieve that, then I can finally start to think about what's going on... ... and then, maybe, I can figure out just why it was that I was brought here, exactly - and just what sort of a world it is that I've arrived in.
