Henry did not get sabotaged as expected. Yet when he left the boardroom, his shirt clung to his skin. As soon as he stepped out, his face darkened with confusion.He turned to the team lead. “Did those adjustments sound like what…?”“Yes, sir. Adrian said almost the same thing,” the team lead responded in awe.Henry didn’t believe in coincidences. That damn intern must have snitched to the COO!And the e-sports competition… could he have been behind that too?

“Make sure you keep an eye on him. I don't want a repeat of last time.” “Noted, Chairman. Good night, sir.”Adrian nodded in dismissal and Edward immediately left. The door clicked behind him.Adrian's eyes stayed locked on the door as he tapped the pen in his hand rhythmically on the desk.He had just settled down in the study to check for any loopholes in his Echelon event plans when Edward came in with the information.Scott was back.After two days of running into walls while trying to run tabs in the company’s name, he returne
