No More Mrs. Nice GirlĀ Ā Ā No Escape
[Scene: K&N Architects, HR Department ]The silence in the office was so absolute it felt like a vacuum. The word "CEO" hung in the air, sharp and heavy as a guillotine.Mr. Coleās face, which had been puffed with rage, drained of all color. Alexās smug smile vanished, replaced by a mask of stunned, unfiltered hatred. President Harrison was still bent in a low bow, sweat beading on his forehead.And Mila... Mila just stared. The floor, the walls, the entire world had just tilted on its axis. The man she had once trustedāwho had disappeared when she needed him mostāwas now the owner of her company. Her thoughts scattered. Arineās eyes met hers briefly.

He wasn't just tired; he was vibrating with a protective fury that he was barely holding in check.āAunt Lana,ā he greeted, his voice a low rumble."Arine," she replied, turning. A knowing, almost sad smile touched her lips. "That was fast. Your private jet must have set a new speed record from London.""I told the pilot to fly it like he stole it," Arine said, bypassing the table to stand at the window, his back to her. He braced his hands on the glass, staring down at the city lights."The moment I got your call last night... the second you tol

Robbin's folder burned a hole in her bag, its contents a ticking bomb of revelations. She stepped out onto the familiar sidewalk, the cool air nipping at her skin, and buzzed the intercom. Moments later, the door swung open, revealing Sally's concerned face framed by the warm glow of the hallway light. Sally(pulling her inside):āFinally! Do you know how long Iāve been pacing in here?
