Chapter 22"I recorded our conversation, because Mr. Arbert asked me to. I didn't give it to him," he explained, his words emphasizing the discreet nature of the evidence. Realizing the potential value of the flash drive, I quickly accepted it from his hand, grateful for the additional leverage it could provide. "Thanks, this will go a long way," I says, appreciating the evidence we now possessed. "Let's meet up later. Today is Friday. We can go have some fun at the club to clear our heads," I suggested, hoping to provide a temporary escape from the intensity of our situation. He nodded in agreement, a hint of relief in his expression. "That's a good idea," he responded.As we stepped inside the engineering office, the bustling atmosphere engulfed us. The sound of chatter and the faint hum of computers filled the air. The office space was abuzz with activity, with engineers hunched over their desks, engrossed in their work. I glanced over at Mike, who seemed lost in thought, his gaz

Chapter 24"Nothing," he said, his voice laced with caution. "You shouldn't just go out with her. I don't want you to have a bad record in the company." His words were filled with concern, trying to protect his friend from any consequences. However, I couldn't help but chuckle softly at his assumption. "Did you even think I am trying to date her?" I asked, amusement evident in my voice. "No, I'm not trying to date her. I can't possibly embarrass her among the other workers. I'll inform her later that I won't be going with her. Besides, I barely have time for love in my life right now."I replied to Mike, "I'm sure no girl wanted me when I was looking tattered and ugly, but now that I'm looking presentable, a girl is asking me out." Despite my sarcastic remark, a scoff threatened to escape my lips, showing my disbelief at what happened. "Excuse me," I said, interrupting our conversation and heading towards one of the office rooms. I needed to inform President Karen about the flash dr

Chapter 26President Karen, her face etched with determination, left out a slight smile as she placed her delicate hand on mine. Her voice carried a mix of emotions as she replied me. "Did you think I could do something like that?" she asked, her voice revealing a hint of vulnerability. "I can't neglect my children like that. I made a difficult decision for their well-being, keeping them away from their father. But I make sure to visit them every three months. They're in good hands, with my elder sister taking care of them. And they're doing just fine now that they're 25 years old." As I listened to her words, I couldn't help but acknowledge the passage of time. Her twins, now adults, had grown up while she keeps her work and position at the company. "I am certain your daughters have grown into beautiful young women, just like you," I commented, trying to offer some admiration. But, President Karen scoffed loudly."Did I tell you they're girls?" she asked, a smirk dancing on her li

Chapter 28Pulsating with anger, her eyes narrowed into fiery slits as she glare at me. "Did you just slap me?" Her voice quivered with a mix of shock and annoyance. "You slap me with that filthy hand of yours, Stephen? How dare you?" With each word, she stepped closer, her body language radiating a potent combination of wounded pride and simmering rage. Without flinching, I met her gaze with an icy stare, my voice laced with righteous fury. "Yeah, I slapped you, and I'll do it over and over again," I retorted, each word dripping with contempt. "How dare you embarrass my girl? Who do you think you are? Do you still believe you have a say in my life?" As the words spilled from my lips, a wave of defiance washed over me. The weight of her presence, her intrusive judgment, was fueling my defiance. As realization dawned on her, Susan scoffed in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock as she struggled to process the abrupt turn of events. It was as if she couldn't fathom that I, too, posse

Chapter 29Monday morningThe weekend offered a pleasant and invigorating break, allowing me to recharge before diving back into the demands of work. Today marks an important occasion as President Karen will be revealing the heir at the meeting today. Understanding the significance of this event, I am keenly aware of the need to present myself in the most polished and distinguished manner possible. Regrettably, my father's prior commitments prevent him from attending, and he has requested President Karen to fulfill his role in announcing the chairman. Taking one final glance at my reflection in the mirror, a sense of satisfaction washes over me, reinforcing the resemblance I now bear to the esteemed Logan heir.I have wearing a tailored suit in a dark, rich color. The fabric is smooth and expensive-looking, and the fit is impeccable. The tie is a simple, yet elegant design that complements the suit perfectly. The shoes are polished and clean, completing the overall look. Everything ab
