"I—I'm sorry," stammered Joy, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to shout. It's just that... I didn't expect your second offer to be like this.

Deep inside, she realized that accepting this offer was the only way to save her life, but at the same time, she doubted whether she could fulfill the second part because, honestly, the offer was quite difficult.

An urgent meeting came up, and I need to take care of it this morning," Greg replied, looking at Dylan. "How about you? What are you doing this early on Vonicon? Don't you usually have something to do in the morning?" Greg asked, redirecting the conversation and making Dylan stumble over his words.

Anxiety filled the air as Mr. Millen paced back and forth in his lavish study, while Victor leaned against the wall, visibly irritated by his companion's unease. The impending arrival of Mara as their representative had Mr. Millen on edge, his mind consumed by the weight of a buried secret. "Victor, you don't understand," Mr. Millen exclaimed, his voice trembling. "If everyone finds out about what we did, everything will crumble. The company, our reputation, everything!" Victor silently rolled his eyes upon hearing Mr. Millen's rant. "What is he so worked up about? It's just a representative role. Is he overthinking this? I feel like I wasted my time coming here. All he's doing is spouting nonsense." Although Victor held these thoughts, he chose to nod and wear a concerned expression, understanding the need to show respect as Mr. Millen was his father-in-law and Victor still needed his help to obtain the land. “I understand, father, but I think you’re overreacting a bit. I mean,

But Mara assumed it to be Victor, Georgia's new husband as she recall Greg's story "Rat..." That's what Mara's first impression when she looked at him.

Is she still—" "Let's just get straight to the point. Why did you call me here?" Mara interrupted, causing Grandma Millen's smile to falter as she was taken aback by

In his apartment, Greg sat diligently at his desk, surrounded by papers and the soft glow of his computer screen. Even though, today Sunday, it still didn't stop Greg from working because for Greg, Time is money. Suddenly, a footstep was heard, and when the door opened, it revealed Dylan. A mix of surprise and concern showed on his face as his eyes scanned the piles of documents on Greg's desk. "Oh my... What are you doing here, buried in work?" Dylan exclaimed, his voice quivering in disbelief. "Don't you realize it's Sunday?" Not bothering to look up from his work, Greg remains working with his expression composed and determined.
