122Derek pulled up to Victoria’s house and put the car in park. She glanced over at him, her expression hesitant yet determined.“Are we really doing this, Derek?” she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability. “Are we really going after him?”Derek gave a firm nod. “Yes, Victoria. We have a deal.” He looked at her directly, hoping to assure her that he was just as committed.She bit her lip, searching his face. “I just need to hear it again. You’re with me on this, right? You’re not going to back out?”“Yes, Victoria.” He softened his tone, adding, “We’re in this together. No turning back.”Finally, she nodded, her resolve hardening. “Alright, then.” She pushed open the car door, stepping out onto the curb. “Have a nice evening, Derek. Thanks for the ride.”He nodded, watching her until she disappeared inside her house. With a sigh, he leaned back against the seat and rubbed his temples, exhausted from the afternoon. But just as he was about to drive off, his phone buzzed

123The last few days had taken a toll on him, and he hadn’t been himself. “Serena, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”Her voice grew tense. “Why not? You don’t want to be seen with me now, is that it?”“No, it’s… it’s not like that.” He struggled to find the right words. “I just—”“Then what?” she cut in, her voice sharper now. “Because it’s starting to feel like there’s something you’re not telling me. Are you… are you seeing someone else, Derek?”Her words stung, and Derek closed his eyes, the weight of the conversation pressing down on him. “Serena, no. It’s not that.”“Then what is it?” she pushed. “Because I don’t get it. One minute, we’re okay, and the next, you’re gone. Do you have any idea what it’s like dealing with everything on my own?”He sighed, feeling trapped. He couldn’t deny her pain, couldn’t pretend her words didn’t cut deep. Finally, he relented. “Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow, Serena.”There was a beat of silence, and when she spoke again, he could hear the reli

124First stop was Edgar’s office. Clarabelle took a deep breath, steeling herself as she approached Edgar’s office. She knocked softly, the sound barely penetrating the tension of the day. After a moment, Edgar’s muffled voice called from within, “Come in.”Pushing the door open, she stepped inside to find Edgar, Ms. Abbott, and Jake huddled around a stack of papers. The air was thick with unease, their whispered conversations abruptly silenced as she entered.Edgar looked up, irritation flashing in his eyes. “Clarabelle,” he said, clearly surprised to see her. “What do you want?”Clarabelle squared her shoulders, trying to project confidence. “Mr. Falck has requested your presence in his office. Immediately.”Ms. Abbott’s brows shot up, her surprise evident. “Now? He expects all of us?”“Yes,” Clarabelle replied firmly, meeting each of their gazes. “All of you. He wants to speak with you… now.”A heavy silence hung in the air as the three exchanged uneasy glances. Edgar scoffed, a

125Edgar rolled his eyes dramatically, crossing his arms. “This is ridiculous. The man thinks he’s some sort of king. What does he expect us to do? Bow down and worship him?”“Honestly, how do these people rise to power?” Ms. Abbott muttered under her breath. “They think just because they have a title, they can dictate everything. It’s infuriating!”Clarabelle's gaze didn’t waver, and she stepped back slightly. “Mr. Falck expects you now, Ms. Abbott. He was very clear.”Ms. Abbott opened her mouth to retort, but before she could, Edgar cut in. “This is so typical. They think they can just push us around because they’re sitting in some fancy office. He’s just a puppet with a nice title.”“You know what? If I didn’t need this job, I’d tell him exactly what I think,” Jake said, throwing up his hands in frustration. “This is just absurd! Who does he think he is?”“Let’s not forget, this is his office,” Clarabelle reminded them, trying to keep the peace. “He has the power to make things v

126“Ah, there you are,” he said, his voice smooth but carrying an undercurrent of authority. “I was beginning to wonder if you’d decided to ignore my request.”The three of them stepped inside, their faces a mixture of defiance and resignation. “We’re here,” Ms. Abbott said, her tone clipped.“Good,” he replied, leaning back in his chair with a calculated calmness. “I was just about to discuss some crucial changes that will affect all of you.”The tension in the room intensified. Edgar, arms crossed defiantly, was the first to respond. “What changes? Are you planning to shake things up just because you can?” he asked, his tone laced with skepticism.Ms. Abbott shot him a warning look, but Edgar was undeterred. “We’ve already been through enough turmoil without your interference. We’re not interested in your power plays.”Allvar raised an eyebrow, his irritation apparent. “You didn’t attend the meeting earlier, which was mandatory. As the head of the board, I expect all of you to be p

127Ms. Abbott took a deep breath, her face flushed with anger. “We may not agree with your methods, but you can’t just threaten us. We’re valuable assets to this company, and we deserve to be treated with respect.”“Respect is earned, not demanded,” Allvar replied sharply. “And right now, you’re not doing a great job of earning it. I expect you all to be at the next meeting. No excuses. If you choose not to attend, then we will need to have a serious discussion about your future here.”Edgar’s jaw tightened, and he glanced at Ms. Abbott and Jake, their expressions mirroring his frustration. “This is ridiculous. We’re not your pawns, Falck, and we refuse to be bullied into submission. You may have the title, but you don’t know the first thing about this team or how we operate.”Allvar's expression darkened, his voice cold. “I will not tolerate insubordination. You need to understand that I will do what it takes to get this company back on track, with or without your cooperation.”“Fin

128“All right, listen up!” Allvar’s voice cut through the room, his normally calm tone hardened with irritation. “I’ve warned you all repeatedly, but this is the last time. If anyone misses another meeting, there will be severe consequences. We’re not running a casual club here. This company’s future depends on every one of you taking your positions seriously.”The room fell silent, a thick tension settling over the group. They exchanged uneasy glances, anger simmering just beneath the surface.“Understood?” Allvar pressed, his gaze steely as he looked at each of them in turn, letting his stare linger.One by one, they nodded, though begrudgingly. Edgar, however, was not as willing. His expression was dark, and when he finally nodded, it was more of a reluctant jerk of his head. “Yeah, we get it,” he muttered, not even bothering to mask the disdain in his voice.“Good.” Allvar’s lip twitched with a slight smirk as he leaned back, clearly satisfied. “You’re dismissed. We’ll reconvene

129Jake was practically seething now, his frustration etched deeply into his face. “And what are we left with, huh? He’s not going to forget this, Edgar. Do you think he’s just going to let it slide? He’ll enforce those consequences, and we’re the ones who’ll have to face them!”“Oh, so your solution is just to sit quietly in the corner and say, ‘Yes, sir. Whatever you say, sir’?” Edgar sneered. “Come on, Jake, have some spine!”Jake clenched his jaw, the vein in his forehead visibly pulsing. “This isn’t about having a spine, Edgar! This is about common sense! We’re in no position to take him on—not now. If we keep butting heads, he’s going to break us. You’re letting your ego blind you!”Ms. Abbott stepped between them, her face set with a mixture of exhaustion and resolve. “Enough, both of you,” she said, her voice calm but firm. “We can’t afford to be at each other’s throats like this. Fighting among ourselves isn’t going to get us anywhere. We’re all in this together, remember?”
