Hazel stepped back into the bright, busy atmosphere of the executive floor. It wasn't just a quiet, empty hallway out here.

Her assigned workspace was situated at the very front of a large, open-plan division filled with other administrative staff, softly ringing phones, and the casual hum of corporate life.

She walked over to the shiny and glossy, modern desk that sat closest to his office. The desk already had a tag with her name on it. She dropped the massive stack of expense reports onto t

    Maya looked at her. Then the corner of her mouth curved into a mischievous smile. "You're happy," Maya said with a teasing undertone in her voice. "Yes," Hazel said simply. "My day went well. I attended an executive meeting. I think I'm allowed to be happy about that.""You are," Maya agreed. She looked away, ostensibly at the street ahead of them. "Definitely. That's definitely why you're smiling."Hazel glanced at her. And she could tell that Maya was doing her thing again, that she had been doing a lot lately, ever since that day at the lake. "What does that mean?""Nothing," Maya said pleasantly. "Just that you're smiling. Which is nice. Very nice." She paused just long enough. "Are you sure it's just the meeting though?"Hazel stopped walking and expression darkened, her eyes narrowing as she gave Maya a disapproving look. Maya took two more steps before she turned around, her expression the picture of innocence. “Are you sure it doesn't have to do with a certain Sterling?”"Re

    Maxwell's expression didn't change dramatically. But something behind his eyes did. Actually he was already exhausted that Isobelle was still pushing this on him. And the even more exhausting part was that the person she was trying to set him up with didn't even like him at all. And neither did he in any romantic way. At this point it felt like Victoria and her were competing, trying to see who between them would find him a wife first. It was something he didn't agree to at the moment. If he will ever get married, he wanted to do it by himself and not because it was set up by someone."Isobelle," he said."Camille asked about you," Isobelle continued, completely ignoring his tone. "Just casually. Nothing serious. She mentioned your name and I thought that was interesting considering how she feels about you."Maxwell paused, surprised that Camille would speak about him. But then he thought: it makes sense, that she would speak about him, to vent after he annoyed her by accusing her

    Some time passed with everyone in the room debating. And Maxwell was still quiet.Eventually the debate hit a wall. Everyone was talking over each other and nobody was winning.Victoria tapped her pen on the table, silencing the room. Then she looked straight at Maxwell."Maxwell," she said. "You've been quiet. What do you think?"The room went still. Hazel felt a cringe coming on. She expected him to stammer or say something safe like, "I agree with both sides."That thought actually made her want to laugh before he had even actually said it. ‘Please say that. I'm dying to see you make a fool of yourself,’ she thought to herself, looking at him with an expectation.Maxwell leaned forward. The change in his energy was sudden. He didn't look like a ghost anymore.The truth was that he had only been quiet because this was a very serious matter and he'd rather listen and think about what was best for Sterling Industries than debate people."The fear of glitches is real," he said. His voi

    Victoria looked at Julian, her expression businesslike. "It's serious enough that we can't wait until Monday," she said. "Let's wait for the others. Then Natasha will explain how much trouble we're actually in."Trouble?Maxwell was now concerned after hearing that. What trouble could Sterling Industries possibly be in? To the rest of the world, Sterling Industries was an invincible fortress, a company worth hundreds of billions. He hadn't thought it could be in trouble.But Maxwell wasn't naive. He had seen companies fall before. He knew that the bigger they were, the harder they hit the ground, and the more people they crushed on the way down.As the future owner, the pressure of Victoria's words settled on him differently than it did on the others. This wasn't just a corporate problem to solve; this was his legacy, and it was under threat before he'd even fully stepped into it. He shifted in his seat, his earlier calm replaced by a cold and sharp focus. He needed to hear every word

    Maxwell was slightly taken aback by that. A favor? What could she possibly want to ask him? He simply gave a nod anyways. “Sure. What's up?”Natasha smiled faintly, glad that he was open to hearing her out. She took a small breath. "My sister's wedding is in three days. I need a plus one."Maxwell stared at her for a moment. Of all the things he had expected her to say, that hadn't been anywhere on the list. Also why was she telling him that? “Okay, and what do I have to do about it?” He asked. Although he already realized now that she wanted him to probably be her plus one, which was even more surprising that she would ask him that. “And I want you to be my plus one.” She said "Why me?" he asked. And he genuinely meant that question. He had only known Natasha for a shot time so he didn't think there was any reason she would choose him. "Surely you know other people you could ask.""I do," Natasha said, without missing hesitating. "But everyone I can think of asking right now, are

    Maya took a few steps towards Hazel until she was close enough to nudge her shoulder, a teasing smile was spreading across her face. "Wow. Staring much? If I didn't know better, I'd say someone looks a little jealous to see her boss with another woman."It was only once Maya's voice echoed in her wars that Hazel realized it. She blinked, immediately snapping out of whatever trance she had been in. A sudden, defensive heat appeared on both her cheeks. "What? Jealous? Are you out of your mind?" she shot back in an annoyed and harsh whisper.Maya opened her mouth to speak up. However Hazel gave her a serious look. "Don't you dare say a word," Hazel said immediately before Maya said anything. Maya closed her mouth. Then she opened it again and finally said,"I was just going to say….""I know what you were going to say and the answer is no." Hazel started walking again, cutting through the aisle with more purpose in her steps this time. "I was lost in thought. I didn't even realize I was

    The flash drive contained dozens of folders, each meticulously organized and labeled. Victoria clicked on the first one titled "Financial Records."Spreadsheets filled the screen, showing bank transfers, offshore accounts, and payments that clearly had nothing to do with Frank's legitimate salary.

    All three turned to stare at him simultaneously like he'd just announced he was going to fly to the moon.The woman laughed again, even more sharply this time. "No, you absolutely won't. Because when you get to that register over there, they'll tell you the exact same thing we just explained to you
