Maggie continued to feign busyness with the computer screen, pretending to wrap up her work. Having recently joined WW Technology as a phony employee, Maggie swiftly took over the desk Damian had prepared for her. She opted to avoid any introduction as a new staff member, wanting to avoid drawing unnecessary attention from her colleagues.To prevent other employees from assigning her tasks she couldn't handle, Maggie refrained from asking questions or engaging in conversation with her coworkers.Marcel, who had just arrived at the office, greeted Maggie with a smile as he approached her desk. She skillfully disregarded Marcel's presence and went to the office pantry, expecting him to follow."Maggie, why did you leave me?" Marcel asked, seeking an explanation."Didn't I inform you that I had some matters to attend to?" Maggie replied, her tone dismissive.Maggie switched on the coffee machine inside the pantry and turned to face Marcel. Without hesitation, Marcel approached her, placi
"Please come in," Damian invited her upon recognizing her voice. Maggie entered Damian's private office, apologizing for coming at her convenience. She assured Damian that no other individuals were in the building besides the security guards, even double-checking to confirm her statement.Understanding the circumstances, Damian had no issue with Maggie visiting his office. In this situation, Maggie's identity was more at risk than his own. Only Damian knew that Maggie was a police detective."Please, have a seat wherever you feel comfortable. What brings you here?" Damian inquired.Maggie stood confidently before Damian's desk, as standing for extended periods was second nature to a cop."Marcel mentioned that he would receive the company's money within three months at the latest. The funds he received had to pass through others first. He indicated that his company's name began with 'ser.' Marcel stopped himself before divulging any further information, as he disapproved of my persist
Cheers of triumph erupted from the hardworking individuals dedicated to creating this remarkable product. Overwhelmed with pride, Damian reveled in the success of this venture that he had overseen firsthand.Davina could hear the excited chatter of her colleagues, all basking in the glory of their collective achievement."Incredible! We've made a million dollars in just ten minutes," one employee exclaimed proudly."All those late nights and overtime were worth it for this new product," another employee declared, moved and inspired."I can finally sleep peacefully tonight," a relieved employee said.Taking hold of the microphone, Damian addressed the crowd, instantly commanding their attention."Thank you, every one of you, for your hard work. I want to extend a special thanks to those who contributed to developing WW Technology's latest technological masterpiece. And, of course, I must express my gratitude to our shareholders and directors who entrusted me with this responsibility. R
Nick's brow furrowed as Davina abruptly averted her gaze. Suppressing a chuckle, he observed her covert glances before retrieving a hidden bouquet of flowers from beneath the table. However, that was not all. Davina also grabbed a plate and deftly loaded it with cookies and cakes.Recognizing Davina's struggle to balance the bouquet and plate in her hands, Nick intervened and took hold of the plate."Let me hold that," he offered.A smile graced Davina's lips as she added a few more cookies to the plate in Nick's hand. It would be rather embarrassing for her to handle it while appearing famished.Following Nick's lead, Davina ventured into an unoccupied room. He placed the cake plate on the table, allowing Davina to savor her treat more efficiently."Thanks," Davina expressed her gratitude before settling into a chair.She placed the bouquet of flowers on the adjacent seat and eagerly claimed the first slice of cake. During the previous WW Technology company event, Davina hadn't had t
A few weeks after the new product launch event for WW Technology, Damian was back to his usual routine as CEO, pursuing new targets. In the meeting room that afternoon, he sat with some of his employees, including Maggie.One of the employees, curious about Damian's appointment as CEO, posed the question. Damian paused for a moment, listening to Marcel's explanation, which was supported by two others. Damian had been able to gather evidence proving their involvement in the corruption case that had plagued WW Technology. It was now clear to him, Maggie, and the other employees that their deceitful collaboration had been laid bare."So, do you highly recommend acquiring this land to build a branch of WW Technology?" Damian confirmed, addressing the employee who had assisted Marcel."Yes, strategically speaking, it's in a prime location with easy access to transportation and public facilities. And despite that, the price is reasonable," the employee explained.Damian smirked. The stateme
"As I recall, you were Damian's secretary, right?" Maggie inquired."Yes, I am his personal secretary. I brought you here for you to answer my questions, not for you to ask me," Nick replied coldly.Maggie scrutinized Nick from head to toe, noticing his evident frustration. Nick sounded ignorant as if Damian hadn't informed him about their plans with the police."What information can you expect from a low-ranking employee who holds no influence in a company of this magnitude?" Maggie couldn't provide Nick with any substantial insight."Why did Damian reserve a table at the restaurant for you?" Nick interrogated."You know I was trying to get close to Marcel. Perhaps the CEO wanted to facilitate that," Maggie honestly explained.The alcohol Maggie consumed at the bar and the luxurious room she had booked for Marcel was all courtesy of Damian. Maggie hadn't spent a dime to get closer to Marcel."So, what information did you gather from Marcel?" Nick inquired.Maggie hesitated, contempla
Damian gripped Davina's shoulders, his eyes roaming over her, ensuring she was unscathed. "I witnessed Mrs. Smith exiting your law firm. Is she causing trouble for you?""I'm fine. We were conversing in my office," Davina responded.Damian enveloped Davina with his arm and steered her towards the car. As of late, he returned home without Nick, only accompanied by the private driver. Damian had arranged a new job for Nick, necessitating him to travel frequently on Damian's business."What were you discussing?" Damian queried.Damian gave Davina a sip of his purchased smoothie before collecting her from work. Davina accepted it with a smile, grateful for the attention that lifted her spirits, dampened by Mrs. Smith."Not much. Just some small talk," Davina took a sip of the smoothie as the car cruised steadily, her gaze fixed on the highway."Aren't you and Mrs. Smith distant enough to engage in mere small talk?" Damian frowned.Having once been Mrs. Smith's son-in-law, Damian comprehen
Damian closely observed Camille and Marcel's every move through the surveillance camera connected to his cell phone. He effortlessly sipped on his latte while waiting for Davina to finish her shower.Damian promptly sent a text message to the security guard, instructing him to come to his office immediately. Suppressing a laugh, Damian relished in the shock displayed on Marcel and Camille's faces as they were caught red-handed by the security guard.Three security guards descended upon Camille and Marcel, shining their flashlights directly at them. "What is your purpose in the CEO's office? What have you stolen?" they interrogated."We haven't stolen anything!" Camille exclaimed in panic."I am the finance director of this company. How dare you accuse us of stealing?" Marcel tried to remain composed.The duo had imagined the safe in Damian's office filled with large sums of cash, essential documents, or even gold bars. To their surprise, the safe contained nothing but a loose disc. Th
