Nicholas paced back and forth in his bedroom, his phone pressed tightly against his ear.

He couldn't believe his father had sent another young girl to be his assistant.

"Father, what's the meaning of this?" hepm demanded, his voice rising in frustration. "Who's that kid you brought over to my place?"

William chuckled on the other end of the line. "Kid? Son, you're mistaken. Yumi is not a child," he said, his amusement clear.

"You don't expect me to believe that, do you?" Nicholas shouted, his anger growing by the second. "She's far too young for crying out loud. Where the hell do you get these girls from?"

William's tone was patient as he explained, "She's been serving the Phoenix family since she was a child. Her parents abandoned her. I took her in and trained her. She's my best recommendation, son. Take it from me."
