Harry walked through the first floor; He walked encouraging his employee.

Unknown to Harry it became Rituals and a great one, with many aspects at that.

In simple words, Rituals are evolved from habits for the betterment of one or other people.

Sara today wasn't waiting for him in the parking lot; he tried not to think about that. He would say no to her, but he enjoyed the attention that he got from her.

There were some other changes as well; many of the employees were looking at him strangely. Jealousy and envy weren't new to him, but mocking and contempt were definitely new.

Harry was halfway through when someone came to greet him. Harry recognized him as an inner member of the company.

"Sir, if you please come with me. I was instructed to lead you to the conference room for founding members."

He walked faster ahead of Harry as if he was afraid of his questions.

On the other hand, Harry didn't care about it at all. He could take care of anything; at worst he could use magic.

They reached their destination quickly.

Harry heard shouts of Sara. He knew from her voice that she was arguing with others with raw hatred.

He saw Sara standing while Jack, Joseph, Max were sitting while Anna had her head down with shame from Sara's curse, and Sofia was sobbing, trying hard not cry.

"What is going on here?" Harry asked in an authoritative voice.

Anna and Sofia didn't dare to face Harry while Joseph and Max flinched from their resolute face, only Jack looked at him.

"There is no easy way to say this, so I will be direct," Jack replied.

"We no longer require your service; We are letting you and Sara go."

"What the fuck! Stop your nonsense. This is MY company, and there is MY name on the wall." Harry pointed to the wall where 'Harvey international' was written.

"It is OUR company even if your name is on the wall."

"Also, all of us have signed the contract and according..."

"Don't you dare legal shit me."

Harry looked to other members while he went near Sara who was still angry. He patted her back to calm her down.

"You, Joseph. If it wasn't me, you would still be living under a bridge and begging for food, while no one would give you a job with your criminal record."

"You, Max, who gave you a job when no one liked to even look at your ugly face."

"And you, Jack, are the particular kind of an asshole, you know that? You were just an accountant without any knowledge, talent or background. Your existence is a fucking shame to your past 18 generations with your deeds."

"Anna, remember when you..."

"Please..." Harry heard the begging voice of Anna.

Her story and meeting with Harry were Humiliation and a dark past for her which she didn't want others to know.

"Hump"

"And you..." Before he could even begin speaking, Sofia started crying.

"I am sorry, I am sorry..."

"ENOUGH," Jake shouted.

Everyone had a red or pale face with shame, embarrassment or anger, especially Jake who couldn't take the insult and stood up with a distorted face.

"All board members have voted that your capabilities are questionable, thus discharging both of you from your post, and here is your payment of 10 million for your way out," he handed a cheque to Sara and Harry.

"As you are no longer part of OUR company, we have to ask you to leave immediately or guards will show you way out."

Sara wanted to say something but Harry held her back. Now, things have come to a legal processor; they had to answer through a lawyer with notice.

They left the room, leaving the rest of them with their heads down with shame. When they reached the ground floor, Harry stopped near a statue, which was bought from a famous artist, but Harry never liked it, and kicked it, breaking it into thousands of pieces.

"BOOM"

It was such a huge sound that everyone stopped calling, talking or whatever they were doing.

"Hump, I will be back," Harry left, leaving the sentence, and stunned crowd.

They moved to the parking area.

Sara exploded, "How dare they? We should sue their asses..."

Harry knew if she started to speak, it would take a while to stop. He moved closer and sealed her lips. She was shocked with public affection as they were in public place.

She was looking with a wide eye, but she soon started enjoying it, so she closed it.

"Did you calm down?" Harry asked with a soft voice in her ear.

She nodded with embarrassment.

"Now answer me, did you or did you not put the companies I asked in my name?"

"Those small companies? It wasn't related to our main company in any way, so I put them under your name; separately from the company."

"That is a relief, then."

"But the thing that I don't understand is why they betrayed us?"

"That Jack-ass wants more power, of course, and..." Sara replied.

"HARVEY"

"HARVEY, wait for me."

"HARVEY"

They heard shouts; someone calling Harry's name. It was a familiar sound, and soon they saw a familiar person in front of them standing, out of breath, face covered with tears.

It was none other than Sofia. She was relieved after watching Harry standing there. She was afraid that if she let Harry go, she will never be able to meet him again.

She took out the paper from her pocket and showed it to Harry.

Harry and Sara were both shocked watching that. There was no need to ask the reason why she did that as it was clear, and maybe everyone knew it.
