His frustration simmered just beneath the surface, evident in the furrow of his brow and the tense set of his jaw. Glancing at Charlie in the rearview mirror, he saw the reflection of his own exasperation mirrored back at him.The dull ache of disappointment settled in Leo's chest as he replayed the fruitless conversation with the uncooperative informant in his mind. The corners of his mouth turned downward in a grimace of disbelief. How could someone deny knowledge of his target's whereabouts when they had supposedly crossed paths multiple times at the very location Leo had just questioned them about? It didn't add up, and Leo's patience was wearing thin."The nerve of him," Leo muttered under his breath, his voice tinged with a hint of incredulity. He shot a questioning look at Charlie, silently seeking confirmation of their shared frustration.

The Unexpected Heir I will go
As Charlie arrived back at the office, a wave of anger coursed through him, fueled by his father's inexplicable decision. How could his own flesh and blood trust a stranger more than his own son?

The Unexpected Heir Forced Civility
"Are you the boss, why don't you leave me to handle this on my own?" he asked, his voice laced with defiance, prompting a weary sigh from Leo."You are funny," Leo responded, a hint of amusement in his tone.

So, we are going to tell you what we think is the best way to do this," he elaborated, his expression calm yet resolute.Charlie scoffed at Leo's words, his sense of superiority evident in his dismissive reaction."You are a pain in the ass, I heard you. Just do what you think is best. Anything they are ready for the interview, let me know," he said, attempting to temper his frustration with forced civility.Leo's smile widened at the subtle concession, pleased that his persuasion had succeeded in getting through to him. "If this goes well, what will I get in return?" Leo inquired with a hint of expectation, his eyes keenly fixed on Charlie. Howe

The Unexpected Heir Same page
"I think you should speak with Fiona," he advised, his tone encouraging but cautious. "You should go and see her personally and ask her why she's doing this.

She doesn't want to see me, remember?" he said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness that he couldn't shake.

With their assistance, acquiring the shares was a straightforward process." As she finished speaking, Mr. Thompson's expression softened as he took in her information. "Can you provide evidence or documentation that confirms your ownership of the shares?" Mr. Thompson inquired, his tone measured but curious.
