Carina stood up slowly from the cold concrete driveway while a bright and genuine smile replaced her terrifying tears. She had successfully survived the absolute worst night of her life."I should host a private luxury dinner for you and Caroline tomorrow evening." Carina smoothed out the wrinkles on her expensive designer skirt, trying to look presentable. "I want to apologize to her directly and resolve our silly little rivalry permanently.""Do not bother." Darius looked far into the dark empty street without a single ounce of emotion. "Caroline and I are completely done."Carina felt a sudden thrill of pure overwhelming joy as her mind raced with incredible possibilities. Her biggest business rival was throwing away a literal god.

Darius stepped out of the grand hotel into the freezing night. His dark coat shielded him from the harsh wind. The bright neon signs reflected in the dark puddles on the concrete. His phone vibrated heavily in his deep pocket. The screen displayed the name Elena. She was the beautiful and ruthless CEO of the Segreto Corporation."Good evening." Darius held the phone close to his ear. He wanted this call to be very quick and productive."Boss." Elena gripped her golden pen tightly in her luxurious office.

The tall security guard squinted his eyes aggressively at the heavy metal badge. He moved his large thick thumb over the engraved giant dragon. His dark eyebrows pulled together tightly in deep extreme suspicion. He remembered the strict training handbook incredibly clearly. Every single high executive badge featured a massive silver bear. There was absolutely no giant dragon in the official corporate manual."You are completely trying to deceive me right now." The tall guard gripped his heavy black baton with extreme aggressive force. "You almost made a complete stupid fool out of me. This cheap badge is entirely pathetic and fake.""You need to look at it properly." Darius kept his expression entirely calm and completely unbothered. He knew the foolish guard lacked the proper security clearance."Shut your filthy lying mouth you disgusting street dirt!" Caroline glared at Darius with freezing icy contempt. "You are a completely pathetic loser! You brought a cheap plastic toy to a hi

The bright crystal chandeliers dimmed slightly as a tall elegant man walked directly to the glowing center stage. The loud murmurs in the massive luxury hall faded into complete absolute silence. The host tapped the shiny silver microphone gently to grab the total attention of the incredibly wealthy VIP crowd."Welcome to the grand commercial dinner party of the Segreto Corporation." The host smiled broadly at the extremely powerful rich audience. "Tonight is an absolutely monumental occasion for our global business empire. I have two massive pieces of incredible thrilling news to share with all of you right now."The entire wealthy crowd held their collective breath in deep anticipation."First we will officially announce the exclusive list of ten magnificent companies chosen for our new massive cooperation project." The host gestured toward the huge digital screen glowing brightly behind his tall body. "Second our completely mysterious supreme boss will personally appear in this gra
