Mr. Edward walked into Leander's office as the door crept open. Upon entering, he took a deep gasp, his anxiety weighing on him. As Leander looked up at him, he quickly connected his gaze before muttering, “Master, good day sir!”“Did you do as I asked?” Leander nodded, intrigued.“Yes, sir. I have informed the board members,” Mr. Edward replied with a bow.Leander's new office was a modern masterpiece. Windows flooded the room with light, showing off the city skyline. The walls were elegantly decorated with sleek art pieces, striking a balance between sophistication and clutter-free space. Light bounced off the large mahogany desk, emphasizing Leander's power and authority.Leander sat in the leather seat behind the desk, books on strategy and innovation lined one side of the room, while a high-tech console kept him connected and in control on the other.Leander's fingers intertwined as he pondered Mr. Edward's words. "Make sure they understand the gravity of this. The AI project is
Leander fine-tuned his bespoke suit, a crisp shade of navy blue that brought out his piercing eyes. With a quick stride, he headed towards the entrance of “Élan,” a renowned salon known for its exclusive clients and flawless service.The salon welcomed him with the invigorating scents of lavender and eucalyptus, creating a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city streets. Inside, there was a beautiful balance between modern minimalism and extravagant luxury: pristine white marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and plush leather chairs.The receptionist, dressed impeccably in black, gave him a warm smile as he arrived.“Good morning, Mr. Goldstein. We have everything prepared for your appointment,” she said, her voice calm.“Thank you,” Leander replied, his voice carrying a calm authority. He followed her through a set of frosted glass doors into a private suite reserved for VIP clients.The suite was meticulously designed to offer maximum privacy and a serene atmospher
With each passing second, Leander’s expression darkened as he contemplated Sophia’s words. "But it won't still be enough. These people are more formidable than you think, Leander," Sophia said with a soft sigh, her face etched with a disdainful frown. Leander was deeply contemplative after hearing her words."I'll consider it, but I don't trust anyone," Unaware that he was speaking aloud, Leander muttered with doubt and dissatisfaction evident in his voice."Leander, I'm not saying you should trust them, okay? But understand, they have an edge over us. Their weapon is more potent than you realize," Sophia countered, her voice filled with confident resolve.Leander's curiosity was piqued, and he furrowed his brows. "What weapon?" he asked sharply."Influence," Sophia replied, her eyes narrowing. "These politicians have mastered the art of cooperation and teamwork. None of them could single-handedly seize Daxton's assets. They devised this plan together, backed by a few corrupt high-ran
Leander paused for a while, fully comprehending the weight of the transition. As it will become a subsidiary of his own company, Veritas Conglomerate, Etherium University is now under his responsibility. He felt a surge of determination. There was much to do, and he was ready to begin.“Having successfully bought Ethereum University, I am now free to do whatever I want,” Leander muttered to himself. In no time, Ms. Walker approached him, her smile warm and appreciative. She murmured, offering a handshake, "Leander, congratulations to you!"Leander reciprocated her smile, retorting, “Much obliged. Glad to hear you aced it”"I did nothing, Brianna took care of everything for you. She deserves those praises," Ms. Walker casually brushed off Leander’s compliments, carefully choosing her words.The mere mention of Brianna caused Leander to feel a surge of uncertainty and anxiety. Speechless, his breath turned hot as thoughts of Brianna's actions spun in his mind. He felt a whirlwind of em
Opulence radiated from the gala hall, where elegantly dressed figures mingled amidst the soft glow of crystal chandeliers. Leander, dressed in a tailored tuxedo, smoothly made his way through the crowd, his eyes searching for familiar faces. Spotting a group near the bar, he made his way over."Rex!" Leander greeted warmly, extending a hand. "Good to see you here."Rex, with a perpetual smirk, shook his hand firmly. He was surprised to see Leander as he muttered, "Likewise, Leander. Didn't think you'd make it to something like this"A trace of disgust appears on Leander’s face as he fakes a light chuckle. "Oh, you know how these things are. Couldn't resist"While engaging in small talk, Leander couldn’t ignore the presence of a glowering figure by Rex’s side - Sebastian.. Sebastian acknowledged Leander with a barely perceptible nod, his cold eyes locked onto him."So, Rex," Leander began, attempting to break the tension, “how’s your thesis coming along?”Rex gave into a detailed expl
Leander looked out of his penthouse office, admiring the breathtaking view of the Etherium skyline. A private jet purchase was imminent for him, representing his success in a way that few others could match.However, he was interrupted from his thoughts by the buzzing of his phone. It was a message from Elaine, his new personal assistant, "Master, Goldstein, your 11 AM appointment is here”Leander straightened his suit jacket, took a final glance at his reflection, and headed to the conference room. While walking, he observed his employees fully engaged in their work, a sight that always made him proud. They were the backbone of his empire."Master Goldstein, good to see you," said the sales executive from Skyward Aviation, standing up as Leander entered. The tall man was dressed perfectly and exuded confidence that matched his profession. He was one of the top salespeople at Skyward Aviation, a premier supplier of private jets."Uh, it's good to see you too," Leander replied, shaki
That was three weeks ago. Since then, there have been no calls, no texts between Leander and Brianna. Just silence. Her absence left a huge void in his life. Every part of his day seemed incomplete without her. He missed their late-night talks, the way she could make him laugh with a single word, the way she understood his unspoken thoughts.Leander stood up and walked to the window, staring out at the rain-soaked streets. He found himself trapped in a tempest that he had brought upon himself. Over and over, he replayed the argument in his mind, hoping for Brianna to give him another chance. His chest tightened with displeasure, a physical pain that made it hard to breathe.Taking a deep breath, Leander picked up his phone. His fingers trembled as he typed out a message, deleting and rewriting it several times. Finally, he settled on simplicity."Can we talk? I'm sorry"He stared at the screen, his thumb hovering over the send button. What if she didn’t respond? The thought was un
In a secluded corner of the campus, near a lush, manicured garden, Leander sat on a bench in deep contemplation. Returning to Etherium University, once a dream, is now a reality that he can’t believe.He had come to this place for silence, but he anticipated that someone would find him soon enough. Leander wasn't just another student. The once-hidden billionaire is now revealed, and his recent actions have stunned everyone, especially those who despised him. It had all changed at the auction last week. Bid after bid, he surpassed everyone, increasing his stakes and staying unwavering. And by the end of the day, he secured the most valuable artifacts, leaving the rest in stunned silence.Now, as he sat in the tranquility of the garden, he saw them approaching. Rex, with a perpetual sneer; Brayden, with his carefully groomed appearance and calculating eyes; and Sebastian, trailing slightly behind, his usual smirk replaced with a gaze of uncertainty.Rex was the first to speak.
