Chapter 221: Mission Success!
Gray gestured for Owen to take a seat at the table. Mara quietly gathered the finalized reports and placed them neatly in front of him."Thank you," Owen said, giving Mara a polite nod before adjusting his glasses and looking back at Gray. "Well then, let's get into it. How has the month been?"Gray leaned forward. "Better than I expected. The online launch was strong, though the integration had a rough few days early on. Delayed orders, some logistics confusion. After that, operations leveled out. Suppliers consistent, inventory steady. Overall, it's been a good month." "Good to hear," Owen said with an approving nod. Gray turned the first page of the report toward him. "The numbers are where it gets interesting." Owen's attention sharpened. He leaned in slightly. "Last month, our gross sales were around $3.71 million," Gray said. "This month, as of yesterday's close, we recorded $4.86 million." Owen reached for the calculator on the table without ceremony and worked through it
Chapter 222: East District
Gray rubbed his temple as the holographic screen faded. The excitement of completing the mission was still sitting in his chest, but he kept his face composed. He cleared his throat and glanced at Mara. "Guess we'll finally get a decent night's sleep," he said, a small smile slipping through. Mara laughed. "We definitely deserve it." They stayed at the office for another hour or so, working through smaller tasks without any real urgency. It was too early to leave, and the lighter workload now would help them tomorrow. Just before four, they packed up and headed out. By the time Gray stepped into the condo, the exhaustion of the day had settled into his shoulders. He set his bag on the counter, loosened his tie, and dropped onto the couch. His eyes wanted to close. But not yet.He leaned forward, elbows on his knees. "System," he said quietly. "Show me the reward. The land title."The familiar glow appeared in front of him.[Ding!][The Host Has Initiated Reward Collection.][Pe
Chapter 223: Everett Group
By the time Gray arrived at the office, the sun was already past its peak. He and Daniel had stopped for a late lunch at a small restaurant on the way.He pushed through the glass doors looking composed. Inside, his head was anything but. Thoughts of the land in the East District were still circling, the size of it, the potential of it, the cost of it.Mara looked up the moment he stepped in. She had papers organized in front of her and her hair tied neatly back. One brow rose immediately."You're late.""Good morning to you too, Mara.""It's afternoon," she said. "Where were you? You had nothing on the schedule."Gray set his bag down and chuckled. "I had something important to check on this morning.""Something important." She said it like a question that had already decided it did not believe the answer. "Are you alright? Did something happen?""Nothing happened. Everything's fine." He leaned against the edge of his desk. His gaze moved briefly toward the window, and for a moment h
Chapter 224: Call Back
Waiting was not easy for Gray.Three days had passed since the meeting with Owen, and there had been nothing. No call, no email, not even a brief follow-up message. The silence stretched across every quiet moment at the office."What do you think will happen?" Mara finally said, breaking the surface of it. "Will Conrad actually invest?"She had been working across from him, papers shuffling between her hands. But the question had clearly been sitting there for a while.Gray set down the document he was holding and rubbed the bridge of his nose."I'm not sure anymore," he said.He meant it.The night after Owen left, he had gone to bed genuinely confident. The numbers had been strong. Owen's reaction had been good. It had felt within reach.But one day had become two, and then three. No word from either of them. And in that silence, the certainty he had been holding started to thin.What if Conrad had decided to pass? What if someone more experienced had caught his attention between th
Chapter 225: Speechless
The minutes moved slowly.Gray checked his watch more than he wanted to admit. Each one felt longer than the last. He and Mara sat quietly at their table, speaking in low voices only when they had to. The restaurant's stillness made even a whisper feel conspicuous. The other diners ate with the focused quiet of people who came here for the food and not the company."I hope Conrad arrives soon," he thought.And then, as if responding to that thought, the restaurant doors opened.A complete stillness rippled across the room.Gray looked up.Conrad Everett walked in with the kind of presence that did not announce itself. His secretary followed a half-step behind, tablet in hand, expression professionally neutral. The same man who was always at Conrad's side.What caught Gray off guard was not Conrad himself but what happened around him.Diners who had been mid-conversation rose from their seats. Others raised a hand or a glass in acknowledgment. Nobody looked away or pretended not to not
Chapter 226: Finally, A Break
Gray went home with nothing but a smile on his face.Even in the car, even as the city moved past the windows, the smile did not go anywhere. For the first time in longer than he could pinpoint, he was not thinking about work or numbers or the next thing that needed handling.He was just happy.The dinner had gone better than he had allowed himself to hope for. The week had been heavy with doubt and waiting, and tonight had lifted all of it at once.When Daniel pulled up outside Rosewood Residences, Gray stepped out and turned back."Thank you, Daniel.""Of course, Sir. Good night.""You too."Inside, the condo was quiet. Lily was already asleep, her door open just a crack, the soft glow of her night lamp spilling into the hallway. Gray stopped and looked in. She was curled under her blanket with one corner kicked off to the side. He reached in, straightened it gently, and
Chapter 227: Please, Follow Us
Selina set the pastry box on the counter and came to the table. The smell of pancakes and bacon still hung in the air."You really made all of this?" she asked, looking at the spread with light surprise.Gray slid a plate toward her. "Figured Lily was overdue for something that wasn't reheated."Lily clasped her hands together. "Brother's pancakes are the best in the whole world, Sister! You have to try them."Selina sat across from her and moved the plate closer. Gray had already set a cup of coffee in front of her by then, and she thanked him with a quiet smile. "Come on, taste it!" Lily was leaning over the table already. Selina took a bite. Her brows lifted."Oh wow!" She nodded. "It's delicious.""I told you!" Lily sat back in her chair with the deep satisfaction of someone whose point had just been confirmed by an expert.Gray shook his head and kept
Chapter 228: In 3 Days
Gray and Mara followed the two staff members across the lobby floor. Their footsteps were quiet against the marble. Around them, conversations moved at low volume, and the occasional glance their way carried the particular curiosity of a place where most people already knew each other. The staff led them to a private elevator set apart from the main row. Larger, better maintained, with no call button visible from the outside. One of them swiped a keycard and the doors parted. "This takes you directly to the executive level, Sir." "Thank you."Inside, the elevator was nothing like the standard models. Polished wood paneling on the walls. Brass fixtures. The kind of small, deliberate details that cost more than they announced. The doors closed and the numbers began climbing.Gray clasped his hands in front of him. In the glossy wall opposite, he caught their reflections: himself, straight-backed and composed on the outside; Mara beside him, holding her tablet against her chest like i

Chapter 229: Voting
The twelfth floor of the Davenport Building was quiet except for one room.In the boardroom, leather chairs creaked softly as people settled in. Seven board members took their seats around the table. Some were older, some younger, but they all wore the same expression. Formal. Uncertain.This was not their usual kind of meeting. Normally they received reports from the store, signed off on quarterly statements, or weighed in on minor proposals. An urgent, unscheduled meeting called by Gray himself was something else. Whispers started before the last chair was pulled out. "Do you know what this is about?" an older man with gray hair asked, adjusting his cufflinks. His eyes were sharper than his tone. The woman beside him, maybe mid-thirties, shrugged. "Expansion, from what I heard. And Conrad Everett's name came up." That name moved through the room differently than the others. Heads turned. Eyebrows went up. "Conrad Everett?" another man said, frowning. "He doesn't involve himself
