Aspen didn't throw a fit, nor did she even look the slightest bit angry. Noticing this, Colin narrowed his eyes, thinking, "Well, well. This woman has really leveled up her game. Her schemes are more calculated now."

"The records room," Beatrice Griffith said, standing up with a small smile. "It's on the ninth floor."

The moment she left, the group chat lit up again.

Employee A: "Whoa! Mrs. Fuller is next-level. A few lines in, and she ran that woman right out of the room!"

    Colin looked at Gwyneth's gentle demeanor, his emotions in turmoil. He ate silently, but the food was somewhat tasteless."Gwen, I've come to see you!" Zac's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the dining room."Zac? What are you doing here?"

    "Aspen, congratulations! You scored a major victory at the investor conference!"Chester burst through the door while holding a bottle of champagne and two flutes, wearing his characteristic playful smile."Chet, what are you doing here?" Aspen looked at Chester with surprise, not expecting his sudden appearance."Of course I'm here to celebrate with you!"Chester placed the champagne on the desk and expertly uncorked it with a loud pop.
