Jane stared at Alexander's message for several seconds before replying.A smile slowly spread across her face."I'd love to. Just let me know the time and venue."Barely a minute later, Alexander replied."Saturday, seven o'clock. I'll send my driver for you again."Jane quickly typed back."Thank you. I'll be ready."She put her phone down and leaned back against the sofa."This is going even better than I imagined."For the first time in weeks, she felt that fate was finally smiling on her.She had failed to get Donald back.But now she had captured the attention of Alexander Smith—a wealthy, influential bachelor who happened to be Donald's elder brother."If this works out," she whispered to herself, "I'll still become part of the Smith family."The thought amused her.She laughed softly."It really doesn't matter which Smith I marry.""As long as I become Mrs. Smith."She got up happily and began making plans for Saturday's dinner.Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Smith Empir

Alexander slipped his phone back into his pocket and smiled to himself."There'll be plenty of time to tell Donald later," he murmured.With that, he headed back into the mansion to finish the paperwork he had left on his study table.Meanwhile, Jane returned to her apartment with mixed emotions.She dropped her handbag onto the sofa and slowly sat down.Her mind was racing.She had gone to Alexander's house expecting to strengthen a relationship with another wealthy man.Instead, she had discovered that he was Donald's immediate elder brother."What kind of coincidence is this?" she muttered.She replayed every conversation she had had with Alexander.Fortunately, she had not revealed too many details.Still, she wasn't at ease."If Alexander and Donald ever sit down and begin talking about me...""...everything will be exposed."She immediately picked up her phone and opened Alexander's contact.Her finger hovered over the call button."No.""Calling him now will only make me look s

Jane's smile became noticeably stiff.She felt as though every word Alexander spoke tightened an invisible knot around her chest."Invite both of us?""No... that must never happen."She forced a light laugh."That would certainly be... unexpected."Alexander smiled, completely unaware of the panic behind her expression."It would.""I haven't seen Donald in a few weeks.""We've both been busy with work."Jane nodded absentmindedly."I see."Alexander glanced once more at the family portrait."When we were younger, we weren't always together.""But after he reunited with the family, we've been making up for lost time."His voice carried genuine affection."I'm proud of him."Jane remained silent.Alexander continued as they resumed walking through the hallway."You know, Donald has always impressed me.""He works harder than almost anyone I know.""He never relies on the family's name."Jane swallowed.Every compliment felt like a quiet contradiction of the story she had told Alexande

Jane spent nearly an hour making final adjustments to her appearance.She carefully applied light makeup, wanting to look elegant without appearing as though she had tried too hard. She selected a delicate perfume and checked herself in the mirror one last time."This is perfect," she whispered.Just then, her phone vibrated.A text message from Alexander appeared."My driver has arrived outside. Take your time."Jane smiled.She picked up her handbag and hurried downstairs.Outside, a sleek black luxury sedan was parked by the curb. A professionally dressed chauffeur immediately stepped out, opened the rear door, and greeted her politely."Good afternoon, Miss Wilson.""Good afternoon.""Mr. Smith asked me to bring you to his residence."Jane nodded and entered the vehicle.As the car pulled away, she leaned back comfortably.She couldn't help smiling.Everything about Alexander reflected class.His manners.His confidence.Even the professionalism of his staff."He really is differe

Richard's words lingered in the air even after everyone exchanged business cards.He looked at Donald and Victoria with obvious satisfaction."I have a feeling this won't be the last time the two of you work together."Victoria smiled politely."I hope not."Donald nodded."I believe every worthwhile partnership begins with trust."Richard clapped his hands together."Exactly!""That's the spirit I like to hear."An assistant approached Richard with a folder."Sir, the investors from the northern division are ready for the final briefing."Richard glanced at Donald."I'm afraid duty calls."He turned to Victoria."Would you mind showing Donald around the rest of the development before he leaves?""I'd be delighted."Richard smiled."Wonderful."He shook Donald's hand once more."Thank you again for today.""My pleasure."Richard walked away with his assistant, leaving Donald and Victoria standing beside the large glass windows overlooking the sprawling construction site.For a few mom

The meeting at Richard Harrington's development project had officially come to an end, but many of the executives were still discussing Donald's remarkable suggestions.Small groups stood around the conference hall, analysing the recommendations he had made only minutes earlier.Several engineers were already making adjustments to their designs.The financial consultants were reviewing projected figures based on Donald's proposals.Richard watched everything with satisfaction.He had invited Donald hoping to receive a few useful suggestions.Instead, Donald had transformed the entire direction of the project.Smiling broadly, Richard placed a hand on Donald's shoulder."My friend, you've exceeded every expectation I had."Donald smiled modestly."I only shared what I believed would strengthen the project."Richard laughed."And you've done far more than that."He turned towards the elegant young woman standing beside him."Donald, I'd like you to properly meet my daughter."The young
