Roseanna couldn't stop grinning as Dana took some steps away from the entrance.

"Dana," Roseanna called,

"Don't forget to kneel," she reminded before walking into the hall with Ethan, causing Dana to boil.

"Eric!!!! What kind of humiliation is this?" She asked, furiously.

"Calm down, Dana; I'm trying to sort things out," he informed.

"Why is it taking time for you to sort things out? Can you do it immediately!" She said.

Seeing that speaking with the security captain was useless, Eric took his phone out of his pocket and dialed his boss number.

"Who are you calling?" Dana was being impatient.

"My boss. He can sort the matter," he responded.

"Hello, Mr. Will Port," Eric said as soon as the man answered the call.

Will Port owns 5% of Secret Company's shares, and Eric has been bribing him for the longest time now.

"I need your help. I'm at the commercial dinner party, and I'm outside the entrance. The guards wouldn't let me in," Eric explained.

"And why is that?" Will Port asked.

"Well, the company gave out a supreme invite to someone we know..."

"The invite is fake, Eric; don't forget to add that," Dana cut in.

"Isn't that Dana?" Will port, asked.

"Yes, she's outside the entrance with me. Unfortunately, we were both kicked out," he informed.

"Wow. That's surprising." He paused, letting Eric assume the worst before saying,

"I can help you,"

Will Port was aware that Secret Company's mysterious heir would be coming today, and over the years now, he has noticed something odd.

In every meeting that the company has, Lilian, the CEO, would bring in impromptu information from the boss of the secret company that would always be of benefit to Dana's company, and finally this year, he had decided to go into business with her and make her one of his strongest partners in business.

Everyone was already clear that Dana was in favor of the mysterious heir, so hearing that the matter involved her and Eric, who happens to be her very good friends, he was sure that the power of the supreme badge invite could be bypassed.

After ending the call with his boss, he grinned, turning to the captain; he gazed at him triumphantly.

Suddenly, the security captain's phone started buzzing in his pocket; he took the phone out and answered the call.

"Hello,"

"Security captain! Why were the senior manager and Dana kicked out?" Will asked.

"It was the power exercised by the supreme badge, sir. You know the conduct and policy of the company," the captain said.

"You're not the one to tell me about the conduct and policy of the company; let the senior manager and Dana into the dinner hall," he ordered.

"Okay, sir," the captain said, hesitating.

After ending the call with Will, he turned to the security guard and said, "Let them in."

Dana grinned. "You're very lucky that you didn't lose your job," she threatened.

As they got into the hall, their eyes immediately fell on Ethan and Roseanna. Dana triumphantly walked to where they stood and flashed a smile of mockery on her face.

Roseanna was stunned to see both of them.

"Surprised? Do you really think you could play God because you have the supreme badge with you? And by the way, I'm really sure it's fake," she said, causing Roseanna to narrow her eyes.

"Yeah, you've gotten in, but I'm certain that the cooperation you so desperately want won't be given to you." She threatened, causing Dana to pause for a second before bursting into a fit of laughter.

"Oh, you're just so funny," Dana remarked in between her laughter.

"You'll see. You won't get the cooperation opportunity."

She paused, finally deciding to be serious. "And you think so because? Don't tell me it's because you have the supreme badge. You think you can walk up to the CEO and flash the card in front of her, saying, "Hello, CEO of Secret company, I have the supreme badge, and I want to exercise the power of the invite by removing Dana from your list of business partners? Just like that?" Dana asked, arching her brows.

"I can't do that, but I'm certain of what I said," Roseanna informed calmly, causing Dana to sneer.

"There's no way that can happen because Eric is the company's senior manager, and his boss owns 5% of Secret company, which is not even comparable to the badge you have, so I'd advise that before you start speaking gibberish, you should think again!"

"Besides, the badge that you both have might be fake, or you guys might have stolen it, but either way, the truth always comes out, and you both will soon be exposed and kicked out of the party," Dana added.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Secret Company's commercial dinner party." The host said from the stage, causing Dana and Roseanna to shift their attention to her.

"I'm glad that everyone here could make it to this commercial dinner party." She added before opening a fancy gold-lined paper,

"This company was founded years ago, and most esteemed guests present here have taken part in the growth of the company." She paused,

"Today, I have two great news for everyone. Firstly, I want us to give a toast to the founder of this great company," she said, taking her glass of wine up, raising it to the air.

"To the founder of this great company."

"To the founder of this great company," everyone chorused, mimicking her action.

"The first news on my list is that this year, Secret Company has decided to cooperate with 10 companies, and their names would be announced soon." She paused. Letting the applause fill the air of the room.

"I'm sure you all are eager to know what the second news is." She said.

"Well. I would waste no time in telling you. The second good news on my list is that the mysterious boss of Secret company will reveal his identity today.”

    "Sir, I cannot say anything to you. You have to come with me." The butler was insistent, but Ethan was not ready to hear him out.Instead, he took a few steps to the luxurious chair in the sitting room and sat there, crossing his left leg over his right leg."You'll have to call your boss to receive his guest in the sitting room." He informed, causing the butler to turn to one of the staff behind him.It was surprising how the staff were putting on suits; the lady on the right had black pants and a white long sleeve with the jacket placed over the long-sleeve shirt.While the staff was standing by the left, she had the same outfit on, but instead of black pants, she wore a black skirt.As soon as the butler turned to the lady in skirts, she left even without the butler saying a single word.She headed upstairs, causing Ethan to smirk, knowing that she must have probably gone to inform her boss that he has refused to come up.The butler kept his eyes on Ethan with a mischievous smile o

Ethan said, calmly. She escorted him to the room and said, "I had one of the servants make sure that your favorite meal was prepared." "I don't have a favorite meal!" Ethan said, not meaning to sound rude when Catelyn narrow

    At Secret Company, Ethan got back to his office and wasn't surprised to see Cersei still in his office, but she wasn't in the same position he left her in.Instead, she was by the glass walls of the company, gazing at the city. She turned to me the second she heard the door open. "Come and join me." She said.Believing he had very little choice to object, he walked towards her and stood right beside her. "Do you see the city?" She asked."Yes, I see the city through this glass every day!" He informed her, causing Cersei to nod."I've been staring at it from this angle for minutes now, and all I see is peace. No chaos! No matter how closely I try to look, I still see peace. Every single person seems to be minding their business," she said."It's serene." Ethan commented. "I wish the world were truly like that. Peaceful with no conflict," she said, turning to face him."Why do we fight ourselves? Why do we fight for things that don't really matter? Why are people greedy?" She asked,

    Dana went quiet, having a lot to say but unable to open her mouth to speak. She eventually ended the call and threw her phone to the far end of the chair.She tried to get to her feet but ended up remaining on the floor. Ring. Ring. Her phone couldn't stop buzzing after she ended the call with Eric. Apparently, he cared to call back."What is it?" She asked abruptly, wiping the tears that welled up in her eyes.If there was something that she desperately didn't want, it was for Eric to know that she was in tears."You sent Ethan that video! Probably we would have still been a couple today!" She said, unable to hold in her words. She needed someone to blame her misfortune on. "You sent Ethan the video and made sure he watched every second of it.""I don't force him to view my surprise package for him." Eric said, sounding naughty."If you hadn't made that mistake. I would have been a princess in all of this chaos." She said, causing Eric to burst into laughter."Do you mean to say w

    At the meeting with Dana and her lawyer, Ethan shifted his gaze from Dana to Lilian, signaling her to hand the original documents to Dana's lawyer.Without hesitation, Lilian passed the documents to the lawyer, who went through them and gazed at Dana, making sure she was staring back at him before he nodded, saying,"This was exactly what we bargained for.""Okay." Dana responded, taking the documents from her lawyer.For some reason, Lilain gazed at her surprised; she couldn't help but wonder if Dana was drugged or something, but the price at which Ethan is buying the company would barely even be enough to start up any kind of business, much lessa company.After she signed the agreement, Ethan did the same thing too and smiled, "Thank you for honoring our invitation." He said and got to his feet, about to leave when Dana stopped him by holding his hand, saying,"I want us to talk, Ethan."Ethan paused and gazed down at her hand, arching his brows."What do we have to talk about?" "I

    Alexander scoffed, "And you think sending it into the company's account is safer? What kind of dumb decision is that?" "I'm sorry, sir. I'll make sure that no one finds out about it!" He said before Alexander hung up on him.Paul was glad that Alexander was in a good mood because people weren't hard for Alexander to replace.After making that phone call, he drank half of the content of the coffee cup before leaving his study room for his room.On getting there, his wife just got out from the bathroom; the second she caught sight of him, she made an attempt to open her bathrobe, but Alexander stopped her, saying,"Get dressed, Gwen. Get dressed!" "What is the problem, Alexander? Don't you love me anymore? What is the problem? You barely want to look me in the eyes," she said, swallowing hard as she walked towards him."There's nothing wrong, Gwen." He responded as he walked into his walk-in closet, changing into a navy blue suit."You're going to work again! Like you always do. You b
