Yet it festered like an unrelenting cancer. That night, he found it hard to sleep as he checked the details he got over and over again.Maybe this Dahlia was linked to his aunt somehow.Yet despite the bleary eyes gotten from a sleepless night, Adrian couldn’t find any useful similarity as dawn painted the sky in its glorious hues. The only similarity was that this Dahlia had changed her name from Sue Robert to Dahlia Kingston.Adrian only knew Dahlia had changed her name. He had no idea what she changed it to. The fear he had been trying to tamp down reared its head again.What if…something had happened to her?What if he was already too late?He succeeded in dismissing the impossible thought. Yet the simmering anger stayed ripe in him.He directed it firmly at the original cause.

“Sir, I swear I know nothing about it!”Scott couldn’t shake Henry’s voice as he stared at the bare wall hours later. After threatening to sack anyone who dared gossip about what they saw, he dragged Henry aside and demanded an explanation.“Prank, sir?” Henry had answered in confusion. “I wouldn’t dare, sir. I was coming to you to…”“The writing on the wall, Henry. I swear I will make you suffer for trying such shit on me!”The fool had looked even more confused after that.“What writing, sir?”“Still pretending?” Scott had dragged him by the lapel and pushed him through his office door.“Look for yourself, you moron! Look what you did to my wall!

Inside the office, Scott had a pleased smile on his face as he leaned back in his seat.If those two swindlers decided to go low, then he could go lower as well. Everything in this company was his. If he decided to take it all, nobody would dare question him. He had been too soft with them all.Now he would begin to…He blinked as his eyes caught on something on the wall opposite him.Dread began to settle in his stomach as something he had once thought was just a hallucination began to happen again.On the dark wall of his office, right above the couch,

How come Henry got demoted instead?The panic that had made him crawl earlier soon hardened into fury as he looked back in the direction of the COO's office. This was planned. It had to be. If not, how can the COO suddenly flip the script on him like that?

“Sir, did you…?”“Hear you? Yes. You are the department's manager, right?”“Yes, sir," Henry said eagerly.“I gave you a task. You handed it to an intern?”The anger on Edward's face wasn't what Henry expected to be directed at him. “No, sir. He… forced me.”“An intern forced you," Edward echoed.“With his family background, sir," Henry said anxiously now. “He's the God of War's newly adopted son, sir. He threatened to ruin the company.

“Mr Smith will see you now.” Henry immediately stood from the waiting room and followed the assistant. His gaze travelled up her smooth legs to her firm buttocks encased in a tight-fitting pencil skirt. Arousal stirred in him but he reluctantly pulled his gaze away.
