Janet continued. “Without Harrison standing behind you, the deal has no real weight. You should stop before you waste any more worthless time.” Janet finished.Mia found her voice. “The contract is between me and the president of Diamond Global. Harrison’s name is not the only thing that holds it together.”Janet laughed softly. “You still think that?” She narrowed her eyes. “That’s so sweet. But you are wrong. President Greta listens to Harrison, or don’t you know?” She squinted, searching Mia’s puzzled gaze.“The day you were supposed to go sign the contract, Harrison was with president Greta in her office, we were also there, I don’t know what he had said to her, but I believe it was part of the reason the contract signing was rescheduled for another day.”Mia blinked, she recalled that she had met Harrison at the lobby that day before she received a call from President Greta, she had even gone with him for lunch, but she still doubted Janet, she was full of deceit.Janet continued

Within the next few hours, the doctors finished their final checks and Harrison was discharged. The butler had already sighed the discharged papers and cleared everything.Harrison’s body still ached, but he stood up slowly, testing his legs, he left the room. Outside the hospital entrance, a black car waited and the butler stood beside the open back door.When he saw Harrison step out of the building, he gave a small nod and moved forward to help, but Harrison raised a hand.“I’m fine,” he said quietly.He slid into the back seat, the butler closed the door, walked around the driver’s side and started the engine. The car pulled away from the hospital gates and joined the city traffic.The butler glanced in the rearview mirror. “I have news about Miss. Mia.” he said.Harrison’s eyes lifted. “Tell me.”“She stayed in her office all day. She worked without leaving her desk for long. I watched from a distance after you asked me to check on her. At the end of the day she left the building

Isabella looked at James with cold eyes. “Stop dreaming.” she said clearly. “I already have someone I like. Your flowers and your visits will not change that.”James didn’t stop smiling, although hearing her speak of someone she likes made his chest ache. He held the large bouquet toward her.“You say that every time,” he replied. “But I am patient. Take the flowers at least. They are for you.”He stepped closer, trying to push the bouquet into her hands again. Before Isabella could answer, Chloe moved forward and blocked him with one arm.“She said no,” Her brows snapped together in anger. “Stop pushing , she doesn’t want them.”James’s gaze shifted to Chloe. His eyes moved slowly over her face and the soft pink top she wore. His lips parted in lost, and his greedy eyes held her gaze.Chloe saw it all. Her face twisted in disgust. “What the hell are you looking at?” she cursed. “Keep your eyes to yourself!”James forced his expression back under control. Suppressing his temper, he st

James laughed under his breath. “You see, young man, even the people around you start to doubt when real opportunity appears.” He said to Harrison. “Just take the deal.”Harrison turned his attention back to James. “You said you can get me into Diamond Global,” he said. “Which executive are you contacting? How can you guarantee a job like that?”James eyes flashed with excitement hearing Harrison’s question, he believed Harrison was curious and wanted clear details.James saw the question as an opening, without hesitating, he pulled his phone from his pocket and unlocked it with confidence. “You want proof?” he said. “Alright, I will give you proof right now.”James scrolled through his contacts and tapped a number. He put the phone on speaker so everyone near the doorway could hear.The call connected after only two rings and Shareholder Jack of Diamond Global voice came from the other end of the line. “Yes?”James puffed his chest with a grin on his lips. “It’s me, James.” he said.

James looked at Isabella with a cold smirk. “You always act so aloof,” he said. “So proud, so far above everyone else, but in the end you will still be mine. All that coldness does not change anything.He reached into the bag one of his men was holding and pulled out a set of thin, revealing lingerie. The fabric was dark and clearly chosen to leave little to the imagination. He held it out toward her.“Put this on, Isabella. “ he ordered. “Change into it right now. If you do, I will spare the man and your friend. If you refuse, both of them will die today. The choice is yours.”Isabella stared at the lingerie he held, her face flushed with fury. She did not take it. she did not reach for it, her nose twisted in disgust.“You have money, you have power, you have men who follow your orders, but your soul is rotten to the core, You are nothing but a coward who uses threats because no one would ever choose you freely.”The smirk on James face disappeared, the insult landed like a slap to
