The Chairman sat in his study, a furrow of concern etched deep into his brow as he reviewed the latest report from his private spy. His suspicions about Cosmos had been confirmed—his trusted steward had left the mansion without notice, his movements shrouded in secrecy.With a sigh, the Chairman reached for the phone, dialing the number of his most trusted confidant—the spy he had tasked with monitoring Cosmos' every move. "Yes, sir?" came the familiar voice on the other end of the line."Tell me everything," the Chairman commanded, his tone firm and resolute. "Where did he go? And how do we ensure that he doesn't find out he's being watched?"The spy on the other end of the line relayed the details of Cosmos' movements, his voice low and hushed as he spoke. "He's headed to a remote location, sir," he explained. "But I've made arrangements to keep him under surveillance without arousing suspicion. He won't know what hit him."The Chairman nodded in satisfaction, grateful for the dilig
In the dimly lit hotel room, Sapphira paced back and forth with an air of frustration, her elegant features twisted in a scowl of anger. She had been waiting for hours for Larry Conrad to respond to her summons, but so far, there had been no word from him. The thought of being kept waiting like a common servant grated on her nerves, fueling the flames of her simmering rage."This is unacceptable," she muttered, her voice laced with venom as she glared at her phone, willing it to ring with a message from Larry. "I won't be treated like this. I have important business to discuss with him, and he will listen to me, one way or another."Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Cosmos entered the room with a confident stride, his expression unreadable as he took in Sapphira's agitated state. "What's got you so worked up, my dear?" he asked, his voice smooth as silk.Sapphira whirled around to face him, her eyes blazing with fury. "Where have you been, Cosmos?" she demanded, her voice

Each call was a calculated move, a step closer to her ultimate goal of securing a meeting with Larry Conrad and turning the tide of their fortunes in her favor."Hello?" came the voice on the other end of the line, crisp and professional."Samantha, it's Sapphira," Sapphira said, her voice low and urgent. "I need you to do me a favor. I need to arrange a meeting with Larry Conrad as soon as possible. Can you make it happen?"There was a pause on the other end of the line, followed by the sound of typing as Samantha quickly checked her schedule. "I can certainly try," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But you know how busy Mr. Conrad can be. It might not be easy to get him to agree to a meeting on such short notice."Sapphira's jaw clenched with frustration, but she refused to be deterred. "I don't care how busy he is,"
In the grandiose study of the Conrad mansion, the Chairman sat at his ornate desk, a furrow of concern etched deeply into his brow. Before him lay a stack of documents, each one detailing the movements and activities of his wayward steward, Cosmos. With a heavy sigh, he reached for the phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he dialed the number of his most trusted confidant—the private spy he had tasked with monitoring Cosmos' every move."Wilson, it's Chairman Conrad," he said, his voice grave as he waited for the call to connect. "I need an update on Cosmos. What have you discovered?"On the other end of the line, Wilson's voice crackled with static as he relayed the latest findings of his surveillance operation.

"What is it, Christopher? You look troubled."Christopher took a deep breath, steeling himself for the weight of his words. "It's Cosmos," he began, his voice low and grave. "He's been meeting with someone in secret, and I fear that they may be plotting against us."Yue Wang's eyes widened in alarm at the revelation. "Who do you think they're working with?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.Christopher shook his head, his mind racing with the possibilities. "I'm not sure," he admitted.

As Cosmos returned home late at night, the oppressive weight of tension hung heavy in the air, casting a pall over the once-familiar surroundings of the living room. Chairman Conrad, flanked by Yue Wang and Chris, sat like ominous sentinels, their expressions unreadable as they regarded Cosmos with a mixture of scrutiny and suspicion.Cosmos's heart hammered in his chest as he entered the room, his anxiety mounting with each step he took.

At dawn, Cosmos was jolted awake by the sound of heavy footsteps echoing through the dimly lit corridors of the mansion. His heart hammered in his chest as he sat up in bed, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he braced himself for what was to come.Before he could even gather his wits, the door to his room burst open with a resounding crash, and Cosmos found himself staring down the barrels of several menacing firearms. Chairman Conrad stood at the center of the armed men, his expression dark and foreboding as he fixed Cosmos with a steely gaze."Get up, Cosmos," Chairman Conrad commanded, his voice cold and unforgiving.
