Though it was a secret that Kaze became the branch leader in Westeros, the news somehow leaked. All eyes were on Kaze. Many tracked Kaze’s whereabouts just to catch the opportunity to meet him. This was the case with Buffy. She was aware that Kaze was away on a mission. However, Buffy had not seen Kaze since then. With the matter weighing heavily on her mind, Buffy tried to search for traces of Kaze. She knew about Kaze’s visit to Butterworth, but the visit was not for long. Buffy had no idea where he went after that. She had been tracking Kaze on the down-low, careful not to draw attention. The least Kaze could do was respond to Buffy’s confession the other day, but Kaze disappeared that very day. The incident ate her up inside. She had to get to Kaze and get some answers. Buffy was open and intense when it came to expressing her love. Not the type to hide her emotions, she freely expressed how she felt. She needed to lay her feelings bare to Kaze and show him

Darcy sat where her drink was placed, her expression blank. She turned to the chief elder. The question came out of nowhere, given that he had been keeping tabs on the company all along. Though Darcy was in charge of Sky Ocean Corporation, she took orders from the chief elder in a lot of things. The biggest issue was the number of shareholders under Darcy, all of whom felt entitled to criticize her decisions. Darcy was just the chairwoman in name. In truth, she was a figurehead who followed orders. She did not possess any authority. Darcy had been seeking out ways to deal with the matter, but none of her approaches were adequate. “I’ve run into some challenges, but they were nothing too big.” Darcy understood that her performance had been lacking in many aspects. With these shareholders bossing her around, she failed to achieve her targets. It would be tough for Darcy to sit tight in her position unless she could secure better projects. Otherwise, she would risk bein

Armed with the information, the chief elder pushed Darcy to go ahead with the agreement. The consequences were hers alone to bear anyway. She would have to live with it, even when things did not turn out her way. “Didn’t the shareholders plan this?” Darcy asked deliberately, trying to ascertain how deep the chief elder was into the whole thing. “It was their idea. I tried to talk them out of it, but they needed you to prove your worth. “If this is a lot, you should just quit while you’re ahead. Come back to the family. We will take good care of you,” the chief elder said, fishing for a response from her. After much hesitation, Darcy gave a nod. The terms were not in her favor, but she was left without a choice. “Do you wish for me to give up?” Darcy looked at the chief elder earnestly, curious as to what he would say. “I don’t want you to surrender because I have high hopes for you. You’ve always excelled in the family. “I hope that you’ll pull through this, but d

“Don’t stress about it. Let’s freshen up at the hotel. If we have time, we can rest for a few hours, but we’re heading to the branch office at dawn,” Darcy remarked while grabbing her luggage. She was going to buy coffee for a boost before sorting out some work for the branch office. However, it was hard for her body to keep up. She did not have time for dinner yesterday, and there was no meal service on the plane. Darcy had to endure the hunger. Now, she was starving and nauseous. With no one there to look after her, Darcy’s health was on a decline. Before, she would often have drinks with clients to make good with them and secure contracts. At the time, Darcy would set her pride aside and keep up with the drinks to appease the clients. With each glass, she earned her place with these people. Her gender was the reason that her family would never favor her or have her back. If Darcy had not been independent enough, the Quints would have married her off a long tim

“Ms. Quint certainly is a workaholic. I can’t say she didn’t bring this on herself. Instead of appreciating her husband, she dropped the only person who cared for her. There’s no going back from that,” Luca murmured. Without another word, she went to her room to freshen up and set an alarm before hitting the sack. She had other things to do once she got up, so the rest would not be for long. After some digging, Darcy had a good idea of the operations in the branch office. She was not overly concerned. These people would try to pull something on her. The manager of the branch office was a member of the Quints. At this point, Darcy knew what was up. The chief elder sure dipped his fingers in everything. It did not take the chief elder long to put someone in place. Darcy had to wonder if she was assigned an impossible task as an act of sabotage or a ploy to get her out of Riverbank. This incident left her bitter. Even when she put in the hard work and produced results,
