"Well, where's your answer?" the man asked, impatience clear in his tone as he waited."Since you're the one making demands here, and you seem to have no shortage of confidence," Ethan said, "why don't you start by telling me who you are first?""Gladly. My name is Mr. Hughes," he said, his chest puffing out slightly with pride. "And, much like Mr. Kent, I own several notable properties across this city.""Oh, Mr. Hughes," Ethan said, letting a faint, deliberate lift creep into his voice, which made the man straighten up a full notch higher, clearly expecting instant recognition to follow. "Have you heard of me?""No," Ethan replied flatly, watching the anticipation drain straight off the man's face. "I don't know where your type keeps popping up from, but apparently you only become relevant the moment you decide you need to be.""What did you just say?" Hughes asked, visibly bristling at the remark.[Ding!][Rage detected.][+15 Rage Points.]"I said," Ethan repeated, entirely unboth

"In a way, sir," Henry said."And what seems to be the issue with that?" Ethan asked."Well, it's the same people I mentioned who are buying into the Imperial Tower," Henry said."Okay, how is that supposed to be an issue?" Ethan asked."Like we discussed on the call, they wanted to buy just one unoccupied extra space, and that's why they went over the floor listings and recognized Mrs. Vanessa's company as one of the struggling ones. So now they've decided to buy her off," Henry said."So is that what is currently going on right now?" Ethan asked, still not grasping the core of the situation."Yes sir, you could almost say it's similar to the case she had with Mr. Mike. They need her floor, so they're pushing for a negotiation, but Vanessa doesn't want to surrender the company name. That's where the disagreement started, and it's been ongoing ever since," Henry said."Oh, I see. And this meeting is happening in her office right now?" Ethan asked."Yes, sir, they're currently in there

"Yes, it is," Ethan said, and Samuel moved quickly to finish up the arrangements for the meeting.Ethan set out to get himself ready, a few quiet minutes to collect his thoughts before the clients arrived.He couldn't help but wonder what the reward for this mission would be, given how much of an unexpected hassle it had turned out to be to complete.He had less than a week left now, and even without the system flashing the countdown in his face like a constant ticking clock, Ethan still couldn't shake the weight of it pressing down on him.Ethan soon moved back to his office and started reviewing the files. He was still busy going through the reports submitted on his desk when Henry called in."Hello, sir," Henry said."Yes, Henry? What is it?" Ethan asked."Sir, it's about the Imperial Tower. Someone new has come forward wanting to get accommodated with a space in the building, and I need your authorization before we can move forward with them," Henry said."Someone else wants a spa

"Really?" Ethan asked, surprised."Yes, boss, they just made contact not long ago, and they said they're eager to meet you in person. When can a meeting be scheduled?" Samuel said."Later today it will be fine, in the afternoon," Ethan said. "Just let me know when they're about to arrive.""Alright, boss," Samuel said, walking away, almost skipping in his step."That is good," Ethan said to himself. Depending on how the meeting went, he was sure he'd be able to keep both of them with the logistics company. From here on, apart from all the other clients he had already secured, there were still five more remaining that he hadn't gotten to yet.Ethan was just about to head to his office to look over some documents when he felt his phone beeping in his pocket. He took it out and saw Harrison's name flashing on the screen.He couldn't help but wonder what the reason for the call was shortly before he answered the call."What's up, man?" Harrison said on the other end."Hey, what's the iss

"What is this man saying, is he insane?""Ask for something less ridiculous. Who do you think you are?""Where's his worker ID? Is he even a customer? We don't even know who he is," Gladdy said, trying to stay cautious despite the confusion rippling through the room."Where's security?" Williams asked, already looking towards the door Larry came through.Right on cue, two security guards entered, eyes sweeping the room sharply left and right before locking onto their target."There he is," one of them said, closing in with a deep frown already set across his face."We're very sorry for letting him slip past us, Mr. Ethan. We'll handle him right now," the second one added."I just want to talk!" Larry said, shrinking further into himself, as if he could will his entire body into becoming a single dot on the floor."Wait," Ethan said, holding up a hand toward the two guards. "Let me hear what he came to say first. If it's nothing important, you can throw him right back out."Larry swall
