The conference room was unusually quiet that morning, the usual hum of the city below barely audible through the thick glass walls. Elena had arrived early, as always, preparing meticulously for the board meeting. But today, the atmosphere carried a tension she couldn’t ignore.Johann Lu had arrived shortly before the meeting, his presence like a carefully placed chess piece. He wore a calm smile that did not reach his eyes, a mask of cordiality that hinted at the dangerous intent beneath.Elena felt it immediately. Every gesture, every glance he threw in her direction, was a calculated move, designed not only to unsettle her but also to unsettle Holden.Holden, unusually quiet this morning, lingered just outside the room, pretending to review documents on his tablet. In reality, his attention was entirely on Elena and Johann. He could sense Johann’s subtle manipulations, the way he navigated the room like a predator circling its prey.Holden’s jaw tightened. His hands, resting on the

The morning sunlight barely pierced the glass walls of Lu Corporation’s executive floor, leaving the room bathed in a sterile, almost clinical glow. Elena sat at the large mahogany table, reviewing the latest shareholder proposals with meticulous care. Yet her mind was only partially on the documents.Johann Lu’s presence had grown like a shadow over the company, subtle yet menacing. His recent interactions had been carefully orchestrated, every word and glance designed to unsettle Elena, to provoke Holden, and to manipulate the board. Today, however, Johann’s maneuvers were poised to escalate into a full strategic confrontation.Holden lingered just outside the boardroom, his expression taut. He had followed Elena without announcing himself, a silent guardian ensuring Johann’s “accidental proximity” wouldn’t turn into something more. His hands itched to intervene, to step into the room and assert dominance, yet he restrained himself.Every instinct screamed that Johann was testing th

The city lights flickered outside Lu Corporation’s towering headquarters, casting long reflections on the polished marble floors. Inside, the executive floor was alive with muted tension—whispers, the quiet shuffle of papers, and the occasional sharp click of a designer heel against the marble.Holden stood near the central conference table, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the digital display in front of him. Numbers, graphs, and market analyses scrolled across the screen, yet none of it mattered. His mind was consumed by Johann Lu—the subtle, dangerous presence that had infiltrated his life and threatened the delicate balance he had fought to maintain.Elena entered the room with a calm confidence that both reassured and irritated him. She carried herself with precision, tablet in hand, eyes scanning the data with sharp intellect. Holden watched every move, guarded yet captivated, his instincts screaming that Johann was watching too, that the next trap was already set.Johann had a tale

The morning sunlight barely pierced the tall glass windows of Lu Corporation’s executive floor. Papers fluttered in a draft, unheeded, as Holden stood by the expansive window, eyes narrowed on the city below.He wasn’t thinking about profits or quarterly projections. Not today.All he could think about was her. Elena.She had been calm during the board meeting, poised, sharp, untouchable. Yet he could feel Johann Lu’s presence lingering like a shadow, a subtle threat that made his chest tighten.Johann had spent the morning speaking in soft, deliberate tones to the board members, his words measured but insidiously calculated. Holden had overheard fragments—enough to know that Johann’s objective was clear: destabilize Holden through Elena.Elena entered the room quietly, clutching her tablet, her every movement deliberate. Her calm exterior hid the storm of thoughts within. Johann’s words—“You don’t belong to him. You belong to the board”—had not shaken her. If anything, they had awake

The office felt emptier without Elena beside him.Holden stared at the board documents scattered across his desk, but the numbers no longer mattered.They were irrelevant.All he could see was the space Elena had left behind—the quiet, deliberate absence Johann had orchestrated.Elena had not returned to Holden’s side since the elevator encounter. She had purposefully requested time to analyze her own position, a move Johann had predicted she would make.And Holden? He was unprepared.The first pangs of panic bit into his chest—not because of corporate losses, but because she wasn’t there to anchor him.Johann was everywhere, subtly present.At the morning briefing, his words were carefully neutral. Yet each phrase was a scalpel, slicing into Holden’s confidence.“You understand the board is evaluating leadership resilience,” Johann said casually, his gaze flicking toward Elena.Holden clenched his jaw. Resilience. She wasn’t absent because she was fragile. She was testing the wate

The agenda appeared at 08:00 sharp.No announcement. No discussion beforehand.Just one additional item slipped quietly between financial projections and risk assessments.Item 7: Repositioning of Advisory InfluenceElena knew before anyone explained.This wasn’t about restructuring.It was about her.The boardroom was colder than usual.Not physically—strategically.No one met Elena’s eyes when she entered. No one greeted her as Holden’s wife.She was introduced instead as:“Strategic Advisor, Mrs. Xia.”Not Lu.Not family.Just influence.Holden arrived last.His presence shifted the air immediately—but not enough to stop what had already begun.“The recent volatility,” one director began, “has raised concerns.”“Concerns about leadership,” another added.Holden didn’t react.He already knew the script.“Our stock dipped after Chairman Lu’s unilateral media actions,” Johann said smoothly. “All of them traced back to one catalyst.”Silence.Then Johann turned—calm, surgical.“Elen

Dia mengangkat telepon, menggerakkan jari Xiubai beberapa kali secara acak, lalu mengarahkan layar ke arahnya, lalu berkata perlahan: “Jika Anda memberi tahu orang-orang bahwa Longteng berperingkat hari ini di industri dengan menjual kulitnya, saya tidak tidak tahu. Apakah seluruh orang Longteng akan mengejarmu? Jika mereka memberi tahu karyawan Longteng bahwa sekretaris Graciella yang mereka kagumi sangat lapar, saya tidak tahu apakah mereka merasa mual dan mual, dan Patrick… meskipun dia tidak tertarik pada Anda, video semacam ini akan mencemari mata Anda, Kanan?"Ketika Graciella di seberang melihat video itu, darahnya tiba-tiba melonjak, membuat matanya menjadi gelap.Dengan nada santai Alexandra, wajahnya berangsur-angsur menjadi pucat dan ketakutan, dan itu luar biasa.
