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.

"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.

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,"
