Alex stepped forward, his eyes locked on Williams'. "Please, Williams, don't involve the police. Elisa's already lost everything."Williams' expression remained stern, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "You're defending her after what she did?"Alex nodded. "I know she made a mistake, but she's still part of your company. Think of the scandal, the damage to your reputation."Williams' gaze lingered on Elisa's crumbling form before returning to Alex. "You're right. But she can't go unpunished.""I agree," Alex said. "But let's handle this internally. You could take away her privileges or something."Williams' brow furrowed, weighing the options. "Very well. I'll revoke my decision to help Mark contact the Gladiator group."Mark's eyes widened in surprise. "That's severe."Williams' voice turned cold. "Be lucky I didn't do worse. And as for you Mark, you've been blinded by his your ambition. You needs to learn wealth isn't just about power."Williams' gaze hardened. "You're

Mark's face twisted in disdain."Diana, I'm shocked. Truly disappointed."Diana's eyes narrowed.Mark's voice dripped with condescension."Your association with...that... Alex."He gestured towards Alex."A lowlife, a degenerate, a bottom-feeder."Alex's face burned with humiliation.Mark continued, his words cutting deep."Someone as affluent as you, Diana, shouldn't be seen with trash like him."Diana's anger flared but she remained silent.But Mark wouldn't relent."Look at him, Diana. A loser, a failure, a waste of space."Alex's eyes flashed with anger.Mark's insults poured forth like venom."He's a parasite, a leech, a scavenger."Mark sneered."You're defending this...this...rabble?"Alex's face reddened.Mark's words cut deeper."A nobody, a zero, a worthless excuse for a human being. He's a liability, a burden, a millstone around your neck."Elisa chimed in."Diana, don't be blind. Mark's right."Diana's gaze turned icy.Mark's expression turned ugly."You're tarnishing your

Mark's men closed in on Alex, their hands reaching for his pockets."Time to search you, Alex," Mark said, his voice cold.Elisa's eyes gleamed with triumph."Finally, we'll find the proof we need."But just as the search was about to begin, Williams strode into the room."Halt!" he commanded, his authoritative voice echoing off the walls.Mark's men paused, unsure.Williams' gaze swept the room, his expression stern."What's going on here?"Mark stepped forward."We're searching Alex for the stolen ring."Williams' eyes narrowed."On whose authority?"Elisa spoke up."Mine. I'm the victim."Williams turned to her."Elisa, you're not the law. We can't just search someone without evidence."Mark intervened."We have reason to believe Alex is involved."Williams' skepticism was palpable."Reason to believe? That's not enough."Alex spoke up."I didn't take the ring. I swear."Williams' gaze lingered on Alex before returning to Mark."I won't let you railroad an innocent man."Elisa's fa

Diana and Alex walked back into the office, laughing and chatting, until they were confronted with chaos."What's going on?" Diana asked, eyes wide with surprise.A colleague rushed past them."Elisa's ring is missing. She's frantic."Alex's brow furrowed."Ring? What ring?"Before they could ask more questions, Elisa's wails pierced the air."My ring! My precious ring!"She rushed toward them, tears streaming down her face."Oh, Diana! Alex! It's gone! Mark's gift to me!"I have to call him. He'll be devastated!"Elisa's phone was already in her hand, dialing.Diana's concern softened."Elisa, I'm so sorry. We'll help find it."Elisa's gaze locked onto Alex."You! You were here around lunchtime!"Did you see anything?"Alex's eyes narrowed."Of course, I didn't take your ring."Elisa's voice rose."I'm not accusing you... yet."The tension was palpable.Diana intervened."Let's stay calm. We'll figure this out."Elisa's phone connected."Mark! My ring's gone!"Her voice cracked."I n

Elisa breezed into the office, a bright smile plastered on her face. She made a beeline for Diana's desk."Good morning, Diana! You look lovely today," Elisa cooed, her voice dripping with sweetness.Diana's eyes narrowed slightly, wary of Elisa's sudden change in behavior. "Thanks, Elisa. You're...looking well yourself."Elisa's smile never wavered. "I'm feeling fabulous, thanks for asking. Can I grab you for a coffee break later?"Diana hesitated, unsure what to make of Elisa's sudden friendliness. "Uh, sure. That sounds nice."Elisa beamed. "Wonderful! I'll come by your office at 11."As Elisa walked away, Diana's gaze lingered, suspicion simmering beneath her polite facade.What was Elisa up to?Diana couldn't shake the feeling that Elisa was plotting something.Throughout the morning, Elisa continued her charm offensive.She offered to help Diana with tasks, complimented her on her work, and even brought her favorite coffee.Diana played along, intrigued by Elisa's sudden change.

Mark's mind wandered back to the humiliating encounter with William, his stomach churning with resentment."Apologize to Alex?" Mark thought, replaying the conversation in his head. "For what? For him showing up where he wasn't wanted?"The memory of Alex's smug expression and condescending tone still grated on Mark's nerves."Why did I let him push me around like that?" Mark wondered, feeling a surge of anger.He recalled Alex's smirk, the kid's knowing glint that said, "I've got the upper hand." Mark's frustration boiled over."What did I do to deserve this?" Mark asked himself, feeling victimized.The apology still lingered in his mind, a bitter taste he couldn't shake."I shouldn't have done it," Mark thought, regret gnawing at him. "I should have stood my ground."Mark's thoughts swirled with "what ifs" and "maybes," but one thing was certain: he wouldn't let William or Alex walk all over him again.The pain of that apology still lingered, but Mark vowed to transform it into fuel
