48- Angry father
"Honey, we need to talk."Mr. Mirano looked up from his newspaper, lowering his reading glasses as he regarded his wife. "What is it, dear?"Mrs. Mirano took a deep breath, her fingers twisting the hem of her apron nervously. "It's Shane-Leo... he hasn't been home much since he became CEO."Mr. Mirano sighed, setting the paper aside. "He's just adjusting to his new role, Honey. Running the Mirano empire is no small feat, you know that better than anyone.""I understand that, but he used to at least stop by for dinner once a week," she replied, her voice tinged with concern. "He's always been so close to the company, but now it feels like it's all he thinks about."Mr. Mirano rubbed his temple. "I'll talk to him, alright? You know what? Maybe we should pay him a surprise visit in the office tomorrow,”She smiled, hugging her husband, “I would like that very much, now
47- A wish
Noting Shane-Leo's unusual levity with a keen eye, Jackie felt compelled to delve deeper. "I must admit, sir," he began, his lips forming a cordial grin, "it appears you're in an extraordinarily buoyant mood this evening. If I may ask, what is the source of this apparent jubilation?"Shane-Leo chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Indeed, Jackie, it's been quite the day. You see, the government has finally intervened, and as a result, I have been entrusted with the leadership of Anderson's company.""That's wonderful news, sir!" Jackie exclaimed, a smile plastered on his face despite the undercurrent of unease that rippled beneath the surface. "I'm genuinely happy for you.""Your efforts are greatly appreciated, Jackie," Shane-Leo said, waving his hand dismissively. "Please, feel free to take your leave. You've done splendidly today."Bowing in a show of gratitude, Jackie replied, "Thank you, sir. Have a goo
46- The plan
Naturally, they decided to throw an impromptu party to celebrate the momentous occasion. Drinks flowed freely, and a decadent cake took center stage once more. "I suppose this is the perfect time to give candle-blowing another go," Jackie said with a playful wink, bending down to extinguish the tiny flame. The room erupted in applause, the air thick with excitement and anticipation for the future. As the celebration continued in full swing, Philly pulled Jackie aside for a moment, his pride evident in his voice. "I always knew you had it in you, Jackie," he said, giving his goon's back an affectionate pat. "There was never a doubt in my mind." "You remember the plan, right?" Philly inquired, his voice low and conspiratorial. "Of course," Jackie replied with a soft chuckle. "I'll take care of him, don't you worry." "Just don't waste any time," Philly cautioned,

On the day of the interview, Jackie took great care in his appearance, ensuring he was well-groomed and professional. To prepare, he diligently studied sample questions and prompts, determined to excel in the face of any inquiry that might arise.Arriving early, Jackie found himself among the first group of interviewees. As his number was called, he rose to his feet, raising his hand to signal his presence. With a steady, confident stride, he made his way to the interviewing room.Upon entering, he discovered a panel of three interviewers, including Shane-Leo, awaiting his arrival. Jackie offered a discreet, knowing smirk before quickly composing himself, bowing his head in a display of respect. He greeted the panel with the utmost politeness and charm, his voice smooth and captivating."Please, have a seat," they invited, and Jackie graciously expressed his gratitude before settling into the chair.As the interview commenced, the panelists launched a series of challenging questions.
44- Trouble
"You summoned me, sir?" she inquired, her tone professional yet concerned."Yes, please," Shane-Leo replied, nodding wearily. "I need you to send out job applications."Her eyes widened in surprise, her brow furrowing with confusion. "What position are you looking to fill, sir?" she asked, eager to understand.A small smirk played at the corners of Shane-Leo's mouth, the first hint of amusement he'd felt in days. "I'm in need of a new personal assistant," he explained, his tone a mix of relief and anticipation.Elsewhere, Philly, the notorious leader of the goons, stumbled upon the job posting online. His eyes widened in surprise as a sly grin spread across his face. "Hey, fellas, come take a look at this!" he called out, beckoning his men to gather around. "Seems our old pal Shane-Leo is on the hunt for a new personal assistant!" he declared with a mocking laugh.The group erupted in raucous laughter as they peered at the laptop screen, their faces contorted with scornful amusement.
43- Bitterness
"It's none of your damn business!" Shane-Leo roared, his voice laced with frustration as he attempted to shove Anderson away."There's no need to get worked up, Shane-Leo," Anderson scoffed, seemingly unaffected by the altercation."Nobody wants to see you right now – not her mother, not her father. You're just wasting your time. If you go in there, you'll only end up embarrassed!" Anderson continued, his tone dismissive and cold.Shane-Leo, his anger reaching its boiling point, turned to face Anderson. Biting his bottom lip, he hissed, "Shit!" before storming back to his car. Once inside, he punched the steering wheel twice in quick succession, his rage palpable, before speeding away from the scene.Anderson couldn't help but smirk as he watched Shane-Leo's taillights fade into the distance. Although he knew he would eventually have to allow the two of them to be together – after all, Shane-Leo was the only one capable of reviving Norah's floundering company – he would find a way to
