  • Behind the Office Glass   Chapter 10 Three Years Later

    Three years later, under my leadership, Zeller Inc. not only climbed out of its darkest period but also quadrupled its market value. I became known throughout the business world as a ruthless and formidable CEO.Isaac had grown up too. He had become thoughtful, considerate, and remarkably mature for his age. He studied hard and consistently ranked at the top of his class. Every time he scored full marks on an exam, he would race home to show me first.But he never mentioned his mother again, nor did he ever bring up "Mr. Connor."As for Connor, I heard he was sentenced to five years in prison for fraud and prostitution-related offenses. The tattooed man and his sister were eventually arrested during a crackdown on organized crime.Amanda's fate was less certain. Some people claimed they had seen her beneath an overpass, limping on her damaged leg while collecting discarded bottles. Others said she washed dishes at a small restaurant and was beaten half to death after being caught e

    The next day, I received a call from the police station telling me to come pick up Isaac.When I saw him at the station, I almost did not recognize him.In just a month, he had lost a frightening amount of weight. His clothes were filthy, and his eyes were filled with fear and emptiness. The moment he saw me, he did not run into my arms like he used to. Instead, he shrank back and hid behind a policewoman."Daddy…" He called out timidly, his voice barely louder than a whisper.My chest tightened, but I kept my expression calm. "Where's Amanda?"The policewoman sighed. "She's in the hospital. Her leg is broken, and no one has paid her medical bills. The child cried all night. He refused to go with anyone else. He kept saying he wanted his dad."I signed the paperwork and took Isaac with me.The entire ride home, he kept his head down, clutching the Transformer toy I had once confiscated and later returned to him."Hungry?" I asked.Isaac nodded.Tears dripped onto his pants

    According to the neighbors, what happened that night was more dramatic than any soap opera.The brother of the woman in the fur coat showed up at Amanda's rental apartment with several burly men and kicked the front door open.At the time, Amanda and Connor were arguing over their last thousand dollars in living expenses. Connor wanted to buy a new gaming setup, while Amanda wanted to pay for Isaac's tutoring classes.The moment the door burst open and Connor saw the men, his face turned pale with fear. He instinctively tried to run, but the tattooed man grabbed him by the hair and yanked him back. "You've got some nerve, don't you? Using my sister's money to play sugar baby for some rich woman?"The tattooed man slapped Connor across the face so hard that blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth.Amanda still tried to put on a brave front. "Who are you? Let Connor go! You're trespassing. I'm calling the police!""Call the police?" The tattooed man laughed and ste

Back at Zeller Inc., he had practically been treated like the boss's spouse. He had never needed to lift a finger around the house.But life in a cramped rental apartment was different.

Before long, his considerate and gentle act began to crack.I heard that during their first week in the apartment, Connor managed to set the kitchen on fire while cooking. In the second wee
