"Well, here we go."Casey arrived at their table with her friends. "Franklin," she said smoothly. "Mind if we join you?"Caleb raised an eyebrow but stayed silent. Sasha, always the sociable one, smiled tightly. "Sure, have a seat."Casey and her friends settled in, the table suddenly feeling much more crowded."So, how have you been?" Casey asked, directing her question to Franklin but glancing at Caleb and Sasha as well.Franklin shrugged. "Can't complain. Just enjoying a good meal with friends. What brings you here?"Casey laughed lightly, a hint of condescension in her voice. "Oh, you know how it is. Just out with friends, enjoying the party. We thought we'd stop by and see how the other half lives."Sasha leaned in and asked.

Daisy and her friends were escorted by the manager to the back room of the high-end restaurant, away from the main dining area. This is done to handle the situation discreetly and avoid causing further disruption or embarrassment to other patrons.The room was small and plain, with a few chairs and a table. The walls were painted a dull gray, and there was a faint smell of cleaning supplies.The manager closed the door behind them, locking it. "Alright, here's the deal," he began, looking at each of them sternly. "You have ten minutes to come up with the money to pay your bill. If you can't do that, you have to pick three of the following punishments."Daisy and her friends listened as their faces were pale with worry."First," the manager continued, "we can call the police to get you arrested. You'll have to explain to them why you can't pay your bill."Emily gasped. "The police? No way!""Second," the manager went on, "you can work off your debt by doing tasks in the restaurant, lik

She started with a brief introduction, greeting Mr. Stephen and the rest of the attendees. "We're excited to share our new marketing campaign with you all today," she began, her voice clear and confident. "This campaign is designed to highlight the unique features of our new product line and set us apart from the competition."Julia then clicked a button on her laptop, and the first slide appeared on the screen. It showcased the target audience for their campaign: young professionals aged 25-35, tech-savvy, and environmentally conscious."These are the people we're aiming to reach," Julia explained. "They value innovation and sustainability, which aligns perfectly with our new products."Next, Julia's colleague, Mark, took over to discuss market trends.

The two men greeted each other warmly."Good morning, Russell," Mr. Stephen said with a smile. "How are you today?""Morning, Stephen. I'm doing well, thank you. How about you?" Mr. Russell replied, shaking his hand."Busy as always," Mr. Stephen chuckled. "There's a lot to handle with young Franklin away."Mr. Russell nodded. "I can imagine. How's everything going so far?""Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag," Mr. Stephen admitted. "Franklin made some nasty decisions before he left. One of them was halting partnerships with other companies, which has caused quite a stir."Mr. Russell raised an eyebrow. "Halting partnerships? That seems risky. Why did he do

"This is serious."Ms. Deborah's hands trembled as she held the email.Mr. Stephen frowned. "This has to be addressed quickly."Mr. Russell said. "We can't afford to lose to them. Let's make sure we have a plan to mitigate their losses and reason with them."Ms. Deborah continued, "Next, from Stellar Innovations: 'The suspension of our agreement has caused a major disruption in our supply chain. We expect Miles Empire to cover the additional costs incurred. Failure to do so will result in legal proceedings.'""Stellar Innovations is one of our main supply chain," Mr. Russell said. "We can't ignore their demands too.""Then we have to negotiate with them," Mr. Stephen replied. "Find a way to cover those costs or at least share the burden."Ms. Deborah read the next complaint, "This one is from Hor

The door creaked open, and Conor stepped inside. His look was serious, and his eyes glanced around the room, quickly locking onto Franklin.The room was quieter now, with just Franklin, Vera, Deborah, Mr. Hughes, and Ashley seated around the table.Franklin stood up immediately, his hands resting firmly on the table. “What did you find out?” he asked.Conor crossed the room and stood beside Franklin, lowering his voice but still loud enough for everyone to hear. “The Insider met Bill Ford. They’re working together, as we suspected. He gave Bill a full update. Told him we’re on to them, mentioned the CCTV footage and the fingerprints.”Franklin’s brows furrowed. “Did they say anything about their next action?”Conor nodded, his jaw tightening. “Bill Ford is angry, but he’s not giving up. He’s planning to cover his tracks, maybe destroy the evidence we have against them. He’s got Viktor, Igor, and Ivan in on it, and Professor Arjun is helping him figure out the technical side. They know

Franklin's hands were folded in front of him. The room was filled with a few people that had been there for hours.Conor had just left, taking the responsibility of tracking the Insider. Now, it was time for Franklin to make the next move.He glanced at the faces of Vera, Deborah, Mr. Hughes, and Ashley. The group was waiting for him to speak.Franklin inhaled deeply, gathering his thoughts before speaking.“I’ve made a decision,” he said quietly, his voice carrying an undercurrent of urgency. “We’re locking down the building. I want everyone out. No one gets in or out until we’ve figured this out. We can’t afford to take any more chances. If we’re going to settle this, we need complete control.”Vera, always the first to act when things got serious, nodded immediately. “Understood. I’ll see to that. details. Everyone will be escorted out, and we’ll make sure the perimeter is secure.”Deborah didn’t say anything, but Franklin could see the gears turning in her mind. She, too, knew the

The day had been full of tension, even as the Insider walked out of the meeting room, he felt a sense of fear.He had convinced the others that he was just Paul, a simple logistics employee, and for now, it seemed like they believed him still.But as he made his way out of the building, he had no idea that Conor was silently following him. Franklin had ordered him to keep a close eye on the Insider.Conor stayed far enough behind to remain unnoticed but close enough to follow the Insider’s every step. He saw the Insider turn into a narrow alley, change the face mask and clothes he was wearing and pull out his phone.Conor stopped and crouched down behind a parked car, straining to see him changing and to hear the conversation.The Insider was speaking to someone on the other end, his voice low and hurried.“I don’t know how they found out,” the Insider was saying. “But the son of Mr. Miles is back. He knows about the plan and they have footage and fingerprints of all of us. I’m on my

The Insider stood at the center of everyone’s attention, his face calm but his eyes darting nervously around the room.Franklin watched him closely, noting every twitch, every sign of unease.The room was still except for the quiet hum of the laptop, which had just finished playing the damning CCTV footage.“I don’t know who this person you’re talking about is,” the Insider said, his voice steady but with a hint of defensiveness. “You’ve got the wrong man. I’m Paul. I work in logistics. Check with my team—they’ll tell you.”Franklin narrowed his eyes, his fingers tightening on the edge of the table. Paul? Is that the best he could come up with?Conor exchanged a glance with Franklin, then stepped forward, his arms crossed over his chest. “Paul, huh? If you’re so innocent, then how do you explain the fingerprints on the server equipment? They match yours.”The Insider shrugged, trying to look unconcerned. “It’s not uncommon to have similar fingerprints in large companies. Maybe someone

The light from the overhead lamps made the space feel brighter. Franklin, who had arrived earlier than the usual time, took a seat and his hands rested on the table, fingers lightly tapping as he waited for the others.His mind raced with thoughts about what was going to happen today. This is the time. No more hiding. It’s time to face Bill Ford and his evil schemes.The door creaked open, and Conor stepped inside, carrying a laptop bag and a small black case.Behind him was Mr. Hughes, who looked serious as always.Then came Ashley, her expression calm but her fingers nervously clutching a folder.Vera and Deborah entered last, talking quietly between themselves.Everyone greeted and took their seats around the table.Franklin stood up, clearing his throat. “Thanks for coming, everyone. We don’t have much time, so let’s get straight to it.”Conor placed the black case on the table and unlocked it, pulling out a small stack of papers and a flash drive.“We’ve gathered enough proof to

The executives sat frozen, each man consumed by anger or fear. Papers lay scattered across the table, evidence of the evil scheme Bill had stirred. He stood at the head of the table, his presence commanding, his eyes scanning the room like a hawk.Franklin Miles, seated in a secret room around the corner, watched everything unfold with a tight jaw. Something about the whole ordeal didn’t sit right with him, but he kept his expression neutral. He glanced at Conor, who was standing by the wall with his arms crossed. The two exchanged a subtle look before Franklin’s gaze returned to the table. He had other plans to figure out what was really going on, and those plans required patience.Bill tapped the table lightly with his fingers, the sound breaking the uncomfortable silence. “Gentlemen,” he said, his voice calm yet piercing, “it’s clear we have a serious issue here. Investors like me don’t appreciate seeing their money vanish into thin air.”Lee leaned forward, his face pale. “I didn’

The morning sun shone brightly over the grand headquarters of Bill Enterprises. It was a day of high pressure, as Bill Ford and his entourage were finally visiting the Miles Empire. This wasn’t just a casual meeting. Bill had been well articulated about his evil scheme with the way Miles Empire handled investor money, and today he planned to address it.Bill stood in front of his mirror, adjusting his tie. He was wearing a sharp black suit, his expression calm but cold.His assistant knocked on the door.“Mr. Ford, your convoy is ready,” the assistant said.Bill nodded and grabbed his briefcase. “Let’s not waste time. Today, we will finish what we started.”Downstairs, the convoy waited. His entourage, including Professor Arjun, Ivan, Viktor, and Igor, stood by their separate car. Each of them wore a similar grim expression and had their own different role to play.“We’re ready when you are,” Viktor said.Bill looked at them, his lips curling into a small smile. “This is going to be q

Franklin sat at his desk, staring at the laptop in front of him. His office was quiet, but his mind wasn’t. The things Jake had told him about Daisy’s plan and now his worries about Miles' Empire wouldn’t let him rest. He ran his hand through his hair, leaned back in his chair, and picked up his phone. It was time to act.“Conor, come to my office,” Franklin said after Conor picked up.A few minutes later, Conor entered. He was dressed casually but moved with the ease of someone always on guard. “What’s up, boss?” he asked, sitting down.Franklin leaned forward. “We have a problem. I installed surveillance cameras in critical areas of the headquarters—quietly, without anyone knowing. I need you and Mr. Hughes to check if they’re working properly. Don’t let anyone suspect what you’re doing. I have a feeling something's going on.”Conor nodded, his brows furrowed. “You think someone’s trying to mess with things there?”“I do,” Franklin said. “And I want proof before we act. These camera

Daisy pushed the door open and stepped into her apartment, kicking off her shoes by the entrance. The place was quiet, but not the comforting kind of quiet. It felt tense, like the walls were holding their breath. She dropped her bag on the couch and ran a hand through her hair.“Sophia?” she called out, her voice echoing in the stillness.“In here,” Sophia’s voice came from the kitchen.Daisy followed the sound, her steps slow and careful. When she got to the kitchen, Sophia was leaning against the counter, arms crossed, her face tight with frustration. A cup of tea sat untouched in front of her.“Hey,” Daisy said, trying to sound cheerful, though her stomach twisted at the sight of Sophia’s expression. “What’s with the look? Did something happen?”Sophia’s eyes narrowed. “You tell me, Daisy.”Daisy froze for a second, her mind racing. “What do you mean? Did… did something happen with you and Jake?”Sophia let out a short laugh, but there was no humor in it. “Oh, yeah. Jake happened.
