“Luca, why are you waiting here? Are you expecting some VIP?” an employee, who was sure he was not late, asked. “Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t let me keep you.” Luca could not admit that she was waiting there, concerned about Darcy’s well-being. So she simply gave a vague response. “Alright, Luca.” The employee turned to his friend and uttered, “What’s going on? Since when has Luca stayed waiting outside the office? I was scared for a moment, thinking I was late.” “I thought I was late, too. I checked the time, and I was early by ten minutes.”“But why else would Luca be at the door if not checking on attendance?” “Who knows? We’ll find out later.” Despite his curiosity, the employee could not hang around for too long. Luca was the assistant to the president. They would get in trouble for crossing her. The chatter among the staff did not bother Luca, as she was only there for Darcy. As time passed, Luca grew scared, fearing the worst for Darcy. However, Darcy left work

Due to yesterday’s failed plan, Julian put all the blame on Kaze. Darcy, on the other hand, put the responsibility on herself for not thinking things through yesterday. Had she been more clear-headed, she would not have had to turn to Kaze for help. She could have just called her staff instead. However, alcohol got the best of her, and the only person she trusted was Kaze. She knew he would not let her down, so she contacted him to get her. Consequently, Darcy got Kaze in trouble. Looking back, Darcy kicked herself for not being rational enough. Still, what was done was done, and it was time to make amends rather than crying over spilled milk. Darcy had always been perceptive, staying grounded to work out any problems. “I’ve been thinking, and I found my behavior inappropriate. I was so drunk that I didn’t know what I was doing. “Somehow, I reached out to you. Now that I think about it, it’s unfair to you.” Darcy looked at Kaze with guilt, realizing that she should

A good-looking man walked out of the building. He was the type to make a lasting impression. It was a shame that the guy was unlucky to mess with the wrong person. “I saw him on last night’s surveillance footage. He wouldn’t be in this position if he hadn’t gotten in Mr. Hanberg’s way.” “But the woman is a real knockout. Too bad Julian fancies her. How tragic for her.” Some felt sorry for Darcy. Nevertheless, they knew that Julian would always get his woman. Retaliation would only make things worse for Darcy. Darcy would stand to lose everything while still losing her innocence to Julian. She would be ruined beyond survival. By playing along, Darcy would acquire wealth and potentially, marriage, from Julian. Darcy had to cater to Julian’s happiness or lose everything and possibly disappear from the face of the earth. The boxers often did the dirty work for Julian. Knowing Julian’s character, they could predict what would happen to these women. Although they may beli

Kaze was oblivious to the Viper’s Den members’ thoughts. Though even if he were made aware, he would not comment. He did not need to explain his behavior, nor was he obliged to report to anyone. No matter what he did, Kaze had his own plans and goals to carry through. Since Darcy was not in immediate danger, there was no need for deliberate care. She was an intelligent woman. She may trust her mother, but the same manipulation would not work twice on her. Knowing that, Kaze could relax. Seeing that things were taken care of, Kaze did not see the point of lingering. “Cover your tracks. Don’t leave any crumbs leading back to you, and make sure no one sees you.” Kaze got into his car and drove off. The Viper’s Den members watched respectfully as the car disappeared. “I’ve got to give it to Mr. Lee. He commands respect. Imagine the things he puts up with.” “Maybe Mr. Lee has other plans in mind. He might have assigned someone else to look out for Ms. Quint.” They di

Agnes could not be bothered with anything else. Since she got what she wanted, the rest was not her concern. She needed to sort things out right away, dolling Darcy up to get her into the auction. It would be best if Darcy could befriend wealthier business moguls. If things did not pan out with meeting better men, Darcy would have to lock down Julian.Agnes believed that her trip to Westeros had paid off. “I need to keep this somewhere safe. I can’t lose or get the invitation dirty.” Agnes carefully picked the invitation up for another close look. She had to confirm the time and place before relief settled in. “Oh, I should talk to Darcy about this soon. She needs a gown and jewelry. She can’t be an embarrassment at the event. It’s the perfect opportunity to show her stuff.” While talking, Agnes nodded to herself. She could put her daughter’s bad behavior behind her because the priority was to dress her up. With that in mind, Agnes called Darcy immediately to find out
