She couldn't believe Theodore bought it for her.

Theodore saw her longing stare and he thought the dress would look good on her.

She had given up on dressing up really pretty and was used to dressing up like the secretary she was. While she was living with her mom and step father they never let her dress up nice she was always on pants.

And even at that Emilia was still jealous of her.

She saw a smaller gift box and opened it.

It was a beautiful necklace and there was also a card in it.

'Hey, I know you're going to say 'this is too much I can't accept it.' But don't, the necklace isn't a parting gift but of agreeing to be my friend.

Let's just say it's a bribe. I'll see you at the office.'

The card read and Janelle chuckled.

~ The Next Day ~

Janelle arrived at the office with the necklace on her neck.

Theodore saw it and smiled.

He didn't think she'd really accept it but she did. It would seem the little card did play it's role. He couldn't be more happy.

Chloe said, twirling her cocktail glass and admiring the skyline. "You really know how to keep it classy." "I didn't plan this!" Janelle laughed, motioning toward Karina. "This was all her doing.

Jasper said, sprawling in his chair and twirling a half-empty glass of whiskey. His grin was pure mischief. "This is it, man. Your last night of freedom. Any regrets?" Theodore raised an eyebrow, smirking as he sipped his drink. "Regrets? You sound like I’m walking into a life sentence." Kyle leaned forward, pointing dramatically at Theodore. "Because you are.

    Leo stood before Theodore in the study, his usual stoic demeanor slightly softened. "Sir, I’d like to request a day off." he said, his voice calm but carrying a note of urgency.Theodore arched a brow, intrigued. Leo rarely asked for time off unless it was absolutely necessary. "A day off? That’s not like you, Leo. What’s the occasion?" Theodore asked casually. Leo hesitated, then replied. "I want to visit my family. It’s been a while, and I need to check in on them." Theodore studied him for a moment. Something about Leo’s tone felt off, but Theodore decided not to push. "Alright, you’ve earned it. Take the day.""Thank you, sir." Leo said, bowing slightly before turning to leave.As soon as Leo exited, Theodore leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Leo wasn't the type to lie outright, but there was something peculiar about his request. Theodore picked up his phone and made a quick call to one of his trusted men."Follow him." Theodore instructed. "I want to know where he
