Jane's elder brother remained standing after everyone else had voiced their opinions.His face had become red with frustration.He looked directly at his father."Dad, I still don't understand."The room fell silent once again.He took a deep breath before continuing."Jane is in another country.""She can't even come to the office.""She won't be attending meetings.""She won't be seeing the staff.""So why should she still be the one to supervise the company?"He spread out his hands."I'm here.""I've always been here.""I know our family.""I know the business.""I'm capable."He looked around the room."If what we're worried about is finding someone to run the company, then why look outside?"He placed a hand on his chest."I can do it.""I'm ready to take over."Several of the younger siblings exchanged glances.A few nodded slightly, believing he had made a reasonable point.Jane watched everything through the video call without saying a word.Her father remained seated for sev

It was finally the weekend.From the moment Jane woke up that Saturday morning, she found herself thinking about the invitation Melissa had given her.The exclusive club party.According to Melissa, it was one of the biggest social gatherings in the city, attracting influential businesspeople, investors, celebrities, and wealthy entrepreneurs. Jane had spent the entire week wondering what the event would be like.After breakfast, she stood in front of her wardrobe for nearly an hour.One dress after another found its way onto her bed."No..."She shook her head."Too simple."She picked another."No."She sighed again."If I'm going to this party, I have to look my absolute best."Eventually, she settled on an elegant evening gown that complemented her figure without looking too flashy. She paired it with matching heels, carefully selected jewellery, and a stylish handbag. She even visited a salon earlier that afternoon to have her hair professionally styled.Standing before the mirro

The music continued to fill the luxurious ballroom long after Jane and the influential businessman had begun talking.Around them, guests laughed, glasses clinked together, and waiters moved gracefully from one table to another carrying trays of expensive refreshments. The elegant atmosphere only seemed to grow livelier as the night progressed.Jane found herself surprisingly comfortable.When she had first walked over to introduce herself, she had expected only a few polite exchanges before returning to her seat. Instead, nearly an hour had passed without either of them noticing.The gentleman sitting opposite her carried himself with confidence, yet there was no trace of arrogance in his manner.He listened carefully whenever Jane spoke.Rather than constantly talking about himself, he seemed genuinely interested in learning about her."So," he said with a warm smile, "you've only been in this country for a short while?"Jane nodded."Yes.""I relocated not too long ago.""I hope yo

Mr. Richard Black remained standing beside Mr. Smith, watching Donald from a distance as he effortlessly moved from one influential guest to another. Everywhere Donald went, conversations seemed to become lively. Executives sought his opinions. Investors requested future meetings. Even seasoned businessmen treated him as an equal rather than someone who had only recently stepped into the Smith family empire.Richard smiled with admiration."You've truly raised an exceptional young man."Mr. Smith's face glowed with pride."I've been blessed."Richard folded his hands behind his back."I've watched him all evening.""He's confident without being arrogant.""He's intelligent.""And he knows how to listen."Mr. Smith chuckled."Those qualities are exactly why I entrusted him with part of the empire."Richard nodded slowly before asking the question that had been on his mind."Tell me...""Is Donald married?"Mr. Smith's smile widened."Yes.""He is."Richard looked slightly surprised."H

The meeting at Richard Harrington's development project had officially come to an end, but many of the executives were still gathered around the conference hall, discussing Donald's remarkable suggestions. Although the formal presentation was over, the impact of his ideas was still evident throughout the room. Several groups had formed, with engineers, financial consultants, architects, and other professionals carefully examining the recommendations he had made only minutes earlier. Some of the engineers were already making adjustments to their designs. They compared their original plans with Donald's suggestions, discussing how the changes could improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs. The financial consultants were equally occupied. They had their laptops open and were reviewing projected figures based on Donald's proposals, trying to determine how much the company could save if the new approach was implemented. Richard watched everything with satisfaction. He had i
