Chapter 27
Standing right in front of Daniel was a woman with a stern and old face. She looked at Daniel with a spiteful look like she was about to kill him.“Daniel?” she called.Daniel nodded in agreement, still staring at her. “Yes!”The woman’s eyes gazed at Daniel from head to toe with a smug look on her face. “Follow me,” she ordered as she began to walk down the hallway.Daniel followed her closely before they finally reached an office.As soon as they got to the office, she pointed at a long file of work that was sitting on the table. “I want you to get this done within the next one hour.”Daniel looked at her in disbelief. Wasn't he here for an interview? What was she saying about getting a job done?“Uhm, e-excuse me, miss,” Daniel said as he cleared his throat. “I think there is a little bit of a mix-up here. I am here for a job interview and not…”“And not to work?” the woman said as she finished the statement for him. “You were to arrive before 10 a.m., and here you are at 10:45. Wh

Daniel’s gaze lingered for a few seconds as he stared at the screen. Why exactly was his wife calling him at this wrong time?He picked up the phone, ignoring the curious glances from the table. "Sophie!""Daniel!" she called from the other end.Daniel’s brows drew together slightly at the panic in her voice.“What’s going on?” he replied in a low tone, stepping away from the table toward the window again."Nothing really. I just remembered that your interview is starting in the next few minutes and I needed to wish you the best of luck."Daniel went still.For a second, he wasn’t sure he had heard her correctly.“That’s why you’re calling?” he asked quietly, his voice controlled but edged with disbelief.There was a small pause on the other end.“Yes,” Sophie said, softer now. “I know you’re in a meeting. I just… I didn’t want you walking into that interview without hearing my voice first.”Daniel exhaled slowly.Behind him, he could feel the executives watching. Mr. Stone’s gaze was

As soon as Daniel pulled the door open and stepped in, the air in the room shifted. Inside the private conference suite, several executives were already seated around a long mahogany table. The moment they saw him, they rose to their feet in unison. At the head of the table stood a tall elderly man with sharp gray eyes and neatly combed silver hair. Though age had touched his face, authority still clung to him like a second skin. Mr. Stone. Daniel stepped forward calmly, his presence composed and commanding in the navy suit Marcus had prepared for him. For a brief second, there was silence in the room. The executives were studying Daniel and already measuring him. Daniel’s gaze swept across the room before settling on the long table at the center. High-backed leather chairs lined both sides, polished to perfection beneath the glow of the chandelier above. The table was fully arranged for the meeting — crystal glasses, aged wine, documents stacked neatly beside each seat. There w

"Are you tired of breathing?"Everyone turned to look at the voice. It was Marcus. He was dressed in an expensive silk suit that screamed luxury, and his skin was flawless and perfect.As soon as everyone saw him, there was no doubt that he was someone of higher caliber.The receptionist and the security instantly bowed in respect and trembled in front of him. He walked closer to them and pointed a finger at the security, whose hands were still on Daniel’s arm."Get your arms away from my young master!!" he commanded in annoyance.The security instantly trembled as he removed his hand from Daniel.Marcus, having seen that the hands were removed, instantly bowed to lay his respect to Daniel. "Young Master!" he greeted.The receptionist and the security at this point knew there was trouble in paradise as they watched what was going on."Marcus, rise!" Daniel commanded.Marcus' brows furrowed as soon as he rose up. He looked over at the receptionists and security, whose heads were still

Daniel stretched from the bed. It was nine a.m. in the morning, and he had just woken up. He had slept late at night, secretly reviewing the files that Marcus had sent to him for the company. By the time he woke up, he rose to his feet and headed straight to start preparing for the interview that was to happen at noon. After preparing, he put on one of his best outfits, which was of shabby quality, and was about to head out when his phone began to ring. He looked over at his phone to see Marcus calling him. As soon as he picked up, Marcus called, “Young Master!” His tone was high and a little urgent. “What is it, Marcus? Why are you calling me right now?” Daniel asked. “I am so sorry, it is a little urgent. Mr. Stone just arrived in the country early this morning.” Daniel paused, his hand tightening around the phone. “Mr. Stone? Who is Mr. Stone?” Marcus went silent for a brief second, almost shocked by the question before he answered. “Young Master… Mr. Stone is our biggest

About to have a job for him.Daniel slowly stepped aside and moved to the staircase before he placed the call.Marcus picked up instantly.“Sir.” Marcus’s voice was sharp and professional over the phone.Daniel cleared his throat and said, almost like a whisper, “The Carringtons will be requesting a meeting with the CEO.”There was a pause over the phone, before Marcus answered, “Sir… you want us to refuse?”"No. On the contrary, I want you to accept. But make them feel as though it was hard-earned. Three attempts. Two rejections. Only then… approval,” Daniel commanded on the phone."Noted, sir. I will do exactly like you said," Marcus replied."Thank you, Marcus. I…" Daniel’s voice trailed as he glanced toward the living room.“Daniel!” Sophie’s voice echoed from the living room. She stepped into the hallway with her brows furrowed. “What are you doing over there, Daniel, and who is Marcus? And why are you receiving secret calls like that with him?”Daniel lowered the phone slowly an
