A few days later, Damian received another message from Angelic.

It arrived late in the evening, just as he was finishing a meeting with Marcus.

Are you home?

Damian replied almost immediately.

Not yet. I'm still at the office.

I see. I was thinking of getting something to eat, but I don't feel like going out alone.

He glanced at the message.

    A few days later, Damian received another message from Angelic.It arrived late in the evening, just as he was finishing a meeting with Marcus.Are you home?Damian replied almost immediately.Not yet. I'm still at the office.I see. I was thinking of getting something to eat, but I don't feel like going out alone.He glanced at the message.Would you like me to join you?If you're not too busy.Damian looked toward Marcus, who was gathering the remaining documents."Is there anything urgent left?"Marcus shook his head."Everything can wait until tomorrow.""Good. You can go home."Marcus noticed Damian picking up his jacket."Another meeting?""Someth

    That evening, Damian received an unexpected message.He had just finished reviewing the first recruitment reports when his phone lit up.The sender was Angelic.[Thank you for the coffee earlier. I hope I didn't interrupt your work.]Damian read the message twice before replying.[Dear Angelic, you didn't interrupt anything. I was glad to see you.]A few seconds passed.Then another message appeared.[Are you still busy tonight?]Damian leaned back in his chair.[Not particularly. Why?]I haven't had dinner yet. I was thinking of trying that restaurant near the river.Damian looked at the clock.It was already past seven.He typed his reply.[Would you like some company?]

    Several days passed, and Damian's schedule became increasingly crowded.The preparations for Good Deed System were progressing. Marcus had begun interviewing potential employees, while the legal team was handling the organization's registration and administrative requirements.Damian also reviewed several proposals for the first assistance programs. He wanted the organization to begin operating as soon as its basic structure was ready.That afternoon, he visited one of the properties being considered as the foundation's first office.The building was located in a quiet business district, not far from several residential neighborhoods. It wasn't particularly luxurious, but it had enough space for administrative offices and a public assistance center.After inspecting the premises, Damian decided that it would be suitable."Contact the owner and begin negotiati

    He put the phone aside without replying. There was no need to send another invitation immediately. Angelic had made her position clear, and he intended to respect it.He returned his attention to the documents.For now, there was plenty of work waiting for him.And somewhere in the city, an organization that would eventually change countless lives was beginning to take shape.Group Celine's financial department had been unusually busy over the past few days.Several large transactions had appeared in the stock market, with an investment company steadily acquiring shares in the group. At first, the management team had paid little attention to it.However, as the purchases continued, the company's financial director began to suspect that the transactions were not ordinary market activity.He brought the latest report directly to Celine.

    "A new investor has started purchasing our company's shares. The amount is quite substantial."Celine paused."A new investor?""Yes. It seems they're interested in the company's prospects."A faint sense of relief finally crossed Celine's face after weeks of mounting pressure."Who is the investor?""We're still trying to identify the party behind the investment firm."Celine nodded slowly."Doesn't matter!"At least someone still believed Celine Group was worth saving.What she didn't know was that behind the growing flow of investment into her company was someone who had long been determined to take control of the entire business.And that person was Damian Blackwood.The following morning, Damian arrived at the office earlier than usual.

    Damian was still sitting in his office when the System interface slowly faded from his view.The figure of twenty percent lingered in his mind. He had never expected a relationship that had seemed perfectly fine to deteriorate without him even realizing it was happening.After giving it considerable thought, Damian finally let out a quiet sigh.He had no intention of forcing Angelic into anything. If she needed time and distance, he would give her both. At the very least, he would not use the System as an excuse to keep pursuing someone who might not be ready to accept his presence in her life.Damian picked up his phone and called Marcus."Come to my office tomorrow. There's something I want to discuss with you.""What is it about?" Marcus asked from the other end."We're going to build something."Marcus fell silent
