Prince entered Maeve's office as though it were his own domain, paying little heed to her secretary's attempts to intercept him. His casual demeanor suggested a level of familiarity that most visitors wouldn't dare to assume.
"You should thank me for this," Prince remarked, strolling in with an air of nonchalance.
The secretary hurriedly followed Prince, concerned about the intrusion. "Excuse me, sir," she said, attempting to maintain a professional tone.
Prince, however, paid little heed to her efforts, his attention fixed on Maeve. "I'm not satisfied with just Romanée-Conti. I want another date," he stated boldly, ignoring the secretary's pleas.
Maeve glanced up from her pile of work, her expression calm and collected. With a subtle wave of her hand, she signaled to her secretary that there was no need for further intervention. She was well aware that this man couldn't be thwarted by a mere secretary's efforts.
Prince took a seat at Maeve'

It was late at night when Liam finally arrived at his apartment. It had been quite some time since he had last been here. The place was in disarray, covered in a thick layer of dust that seemed to have settled during his absence.Liam sighed as he looked at his hand, which he had just run across a nearby table. The dust clung to his skin, leaving a trail of grimy residue. He knew that before he could truly rest, he needed to clean up his apartment. It was a small, dimly lit space, but it was his haven, and he couldn't bear to see it in such a neglected state.With determination in his eyes, Liam set to work.

Maeve blinked her eyes multiple times. She couldn't believe what she was seeing in front of her. She stood at Liam's apartment door, her gaze fixed on his disheveled appearance. Liam's face bore a scruffy beard that looked like it had grown out for about three days, and his apartment was an absolute mess."Wow, Liam," Maeve exclaimed, her voice a mixture of surprise and concern. "You look like you've been through a storm, and your place... it's like a tornado hit it."Liam, looking slightly embarrassed, scratched his unkempt beard. "Yeah, it's been a rough few days," he admitted with a sigh. "Come on in, Maeve. Sorry for the mess."Maeve followed him inside, carefully stepping over scattered clothes and other debris that littered the floor. She couldn't help but notice the stack of pizza boxes in the corner, a testament to Liam's recent neglect of basic chores."Rough few days?" Maeve asked, her curiosity piqued. "Liam, what's been going on? You look like

I think you should do the same," Liam said, trying to convince the system of the benefits.The system fell into a brief silence, its digital gears seemingly turning as it processed Liam's request.

You have higher-ups?" said Liam, surprised by this revelation."Yes, indeed," the system replied. "This might take a while, so I might not be able to assist you to a certain extent.

As she neatly stacked her papers and squared away her pens, a shadow fell over her workspace. Startled, she glanced up to see one of her classmates, Sarah, approaching with a look of disdain etched across her face."Mr. Redwood is looking for you," Sarah stated curtly, her tone dripping with disapproval. Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heel and hurried away from Naomi as if afraid of catching an incurable disease if she lingered any longer.Naomi let out a resigned sigh. The mention of Mr. Redwood, her homeroom and math teacher, never failed to send a shiver down her spine. She couldn't quite put her finger on why she felt so uncomfortable around him.
