"Right!" Rachel agreed without wanting to argue with him for any reason."Karen would have been faster." She murmured before deciding to correct Thomas,"You cancelled my way of getting out of the room quickly, and yet you used the words, 'after I realized that I wasn't special?'" She arched her brows, not even waiting for a response."I know you're capping, but I don't really care. I thought probably you would be smarter than your cousin... Sophia, who doesn't know what she's getting into with Dylan. He's going to leech off her," she paused,"I saw the display of authority he showed at your last social event. Using and commanding the Sterling family money like it's his," she hissed."I'm not sure there's a person that hated that act more than I did. Honestly, and up until now, I can't think of any way to hurt me... he's completely shielded by my grandfather, whose medical condition is getting better due to some tricks that he pulled," he informed, causing Rachel to chuckle softly."I

"There might be something wrong with this new..." He paused, taking a good look at it.He reached into his pocket for his glasses before putting them on; after that, he took out his phone and called Michael.Micheal delayed before responding to the call, but when he finally answered the phone, he said, "Hello, sir.""Hello Micheal, where are you?" He asked sternly."I'm at the office, sir." He informed Victor, turning to Sophia for a brief second."Alright, after you're done at the office, I want you to come over; we need to discuss something," he said.Sophia was stunned that he didn't inform Micheal that they were heading to the office; probably, just like her, Victor was already beginning to suspect Micheal."Alright, sir. I'll come as soon as I can but if it's urgent, I can leave whatever I'm doing," he said, causing Victor to sigh, before saying,"Come after. How is Dylan doing?" "He's alright, sir. "He addressed the chief executive staff earlier today, and now he's with the com

Thomas got to his office and paced back and forth; he couldn't sit at his desk, nor could he stand in one place because of how disoriented he was.He walked towards the water dispenser in his office and filled a glass cup with water before sipping it until it was empty.He threw the cup to the trash near him, and in anger, he kicked his desk and screamed, "What the hell!" He yelled."Who the hell does he think he is!!! I made him, yes!" He yelled, making sure he convinced himself that there was no way he would bend to anything that Michael said.He swallowed hard and walked towards his desk; before sitting there, he rubbed his palm and turned on his laptop, thinking of what to do. What even made him more restless was the fact that they were all inside Victor's office, discussing without involving him."Micheal was invited into the room, but I wasn't. What kind of audacity is that?" He asked, slamming his hand on his desk.He pushed his chair backward and rubbed his forehead.Suddenly,

Meanwhile, in Victor's office, after Micheal walked into the office, he said, "Sir, I've handled the issue. I'm sorry about it." "Micheal, where are the files that Dylan had requested? It's been days now, and I can vividly remember that he said he needed it the next day!" Victor said, already furious because of the state he met the company at. "Why are you being incompetent? This is unlike you." He said, causing Micheal to instantly bow deeply, apologizing."I'm so sorry, sir; honestly, I don't know, but...""But what?" Victor asked impatiently,"What excuse do you have to give me? Those files are nothing for you to bring out, and I don't want to hear anything else about it. Tomorrow morning, I need them, or you forget about your job." Victor said before turning to Sophia,"Since Micheal would be busy, I need you to oversee something for me, Sophia," he said, causing Sophia to sit up. Her grandfather early on wanted to involve her in the family business, and although she's not very

"Well, I don't know," Henry said before snapping his finger, calling for the attention of his butler.He whispered something into his ear before dismissing him.After he left, Henry patted his shoulder. "Well, I got you a gift from my travels. It might not lighten your mood, but hopefully, it could take your mind off these people," he said, causing Thomas's eyes to brighten a little.If there was anyone who could gift someone based on need, it was Henry. Although Henry would never admit that he was a good gifter, Thomas knew he was.Sadly, Henry has never been fully involved with a girl, and for reasons unknown to Thomas, he strongly believes that Henry would make a good partner to any girl because even with girls that he wastes his time with, he treats them like princesses.It didn't take long before the butler came with a fancy bag.Henry took it from him and said, "Thank you," before dismissing him.After the butler left, he handed the bag to Thomas, who smirked as he took it.Open
