CHAPTER 49
The conference room was quieter than Jared expected. Even the faint hum of the air conditioning seemed subdued, as though the building itself was holding its breath. Matthew Tyrin, executive director and self-proclaimed king of Skyrun Inc., sat rigidly in his chair, every muscle tense. Fredrick King, HR manager, remained near the desk, a silent observer of the storm that was about to unfold.Jared leaned back in his chair, sunglasses reflecting the light from the large windows. He had no intention of making this theatrical, but he wanted Matthew to understand something fundamental: in this room, he held all the cards.“Before we proceed,” Jared said, voice calm but commanding, “you are required to honor the non-disclosure agreement you signed. Everything discussed here—every detail, every decision, every admission—remains confidential. Any breach will result in legal action and immediate termination. Do you understand?”Matthew swallowed hard, his usual smugness nowhere to be found.
CHAPTER 48
Matthew Tyrin had just barely recovered from the initial shock of seeing Jared Diamonds—a college student and supposedly “anonymous boss”—walk into Skyrun Inc.’s executive office. The man was calm, collected, and perfectly composed, while Matthew’s mind was still reeling from the revelation that everything he had believed about the company’s hierarchy was wrong.He leaned back in his chair, trying to mask the way his pulse was picking up. “You… you expect me to believe a university brat runs Skyrun Inc.?” he scoffed, attempting sarcasm to cover his unease.Jared, leaning casually against the edge of the desk, didn’t even flinch. His sunglasses reflected the light in a way that made Matthew feel as though he was being examined under a microscope. “I don’t expect you to believe it,” Jared said, voice calm, deliberate, almost dangerous in its precision. “I expect you to respect it.”Fredrick King, the HR manager, shifted in his chair across the room. His eyes flicked to Matthew, and then
CHAPTER 47
When the car pulled up at Skyrun Inc., Jared couldn’t help but smile proudly through the tinted windows of his latest sports car. It was a smile of pride because truly, Skyrun was a beautiful industry to behold and a worthy investment. He pulled on his sunglasses and stepped out of the vehicle.“Good morning.” A guard greeted. He stepped in front of him, a suspicious look on his face, “How may I help you, sir? Your face doesn’t seem too familiar.Jared nodded, then scrolled through his phone, “I have an appointment with the HR manager.”“Are you sure? The HR manager doesn’t have any appointments at this time?”“Actually,” Jared said, showing him a confirmation email on his phone, “he does. I also have a meeting with one of the executives. A Matthew Tyrin.”The guard nodded and stepped aside, “very well sir.”Jared walked into the building. Sometimes, it was tempting to make a public address. Show everyone who he truly was and the amount of power he wielded in his hands. But he knew th
CHAPTER 46
Becky and Jared found Brad seated at his desk, his hands enclosed in a tight fist and placed in front of him. Knowing Brad they realized it was an odd position to find him in so, they hurried over to him.“Are you good?” Jared asked as soon as they’d reached him.Brad sighed, “They’re reconsidering my internship at Skyrun Inc.”Jared squinted at him, “What?! How is that even possible?”Brad shrugged and sunk back into his seat, “I really don’t know. I got the email this morning and it’s all I’ve been able to think about since morning.”Becky sat beside him and hugged him, “I’m so, so sorry Brad.”But Brad was unmoved, he looked up at Jared, “why do I feel that Kirby’s new boy toy is somehow responsible for this.”Jared took a seat on his other side and whipped out his phone, “because he is.”Becky went quiet for a moment as she turned everything over and over again in her head, “don’t they need the managing director’s consent first before revoking your consent.”Brad nodded, “that’s w
CHAPTER 45
The weekend passed in a blur.Not the pleasant kind—the kind where time slips by unnoticed because you’re happy or distracted—but the heavy, slow blur of unspoken thoughts and unresolved tension. Jared spent most of it buried in calls, reports, and quiet instructions. And Becky spent hers doing the opposite: shutting her phone off for hours at a time, surrounding herself with people who didn’t come with shadows attached.By Monday morning, the campus of Los Angeles University was back to its usual rhythm.Cars filled the parking lot in neat rows, engines humming, doors slamming shut as students spilled out in tailored jackets, heels, and polished smiles. The early autumn air was cool but bright, the sky a clean blue that made the university’s white buildings gleam.Jared pulled into his usual spot and cut the engine.For a moment, he just sat there.He hadn’t slept much. Not because of nightmares—he didn’t get those—but because his mind refused to settle. Every decision he made now f
CHAPTER 44
The clinic doors slid shut with a soft, mechanical hiss.Jared stood just outside them, hands in his pockets, watching as Becky helped Brad into the back seat of the car. Her movements were efficient—careful but distant, like someone performing a duty rather than offering comfort. She didn’t look back. Not once.Brad did.Their eyes met briefly. Brad gave him a small nod—not hostile, not warm either. Just acknowledgement. Then the door closed, the engine started, and the car pulled away into the night.Jared stayed where he was.For a long moment, he didn’t move at all. He simply watched the empty space where the car had been, as if expecting it to reverse, as if Becky might suddenly lean out the window and call his name, tell him to stop standing there like an idiot.Nothing happened.The night air felt colder than it had earlier, biting through his suit jacket. He exhaled slowly, a thin cloud of breath leaving his lips, and finally turned away from the clinic.This was new.Jared wa
