"That’s not—""Mr. Daniel, Mr. Steve, please state your reasons for approving this meeting," Leon interrupted confidently, making Athena glare at him even more intensely.Clearing their throats to ease the tension, the two men immediately expressed their disagreement with Athena's takeover as CEO. They were forced to withdraw their support, citing the company's best interests, as they believed it would suffer even more under the leadership of someone who had never held a CEO position before.Yes, this was indeed Athena's first time as CEO. Until now, her late father's trusted associates had been running the company before Leon took over. She had only observed from a distance, as her career had always been focused on becoming a pianist.Because of this issue, the hastily arranged meeting turned into a heated debate. Those who sided with Athena argued that they were fed up with Leon's deceitful ways of profiting from the company. They were also frustrated with how positions were determi

"W–what? What agreement are you talking about?!"Crystal, who had felt ignored for a while, immediately stepped forward, moving closer to Athena and Leon. She looked at them both in turn, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. Her breathing grew more erratic, driven by her unanswered curiosity.Leon and Athena remained silent, though their sharp glances at each other showed the tension between them. They both seemed to be waiting for the other to speak first—until the heavy silence was suddenly broken by a loud, repeated knock on the door."Damn it!" Leon cursed, unable to think of anything else to say. He rubbed his face in frustration. He knew that if Crystal found out about his agreement with Athena, she would be furious with him."I’ll excuse myself to see who’s at the door, sir." Edward quickly decided to take the opportunity to escape the tense situation. The man, who was already quite senior, clearly didn’t want to get involved any further. Athena smirked slightly and stopped him bef

"Oh, I just came to see how the mighty Crystal is holding up. I must say, you’re quite the celebrity now. Everyone’s talking about you—poor, poor Crystal, thrown into a cell like a common criminal. Tell me, how does it feel?"Crystal's eyes narrowed even more. Her hands were clenched tightly as her emotions became unbearable, especially after the man before her seemed to laugh as if he was enjoying her annoyance."Are you here just to mock me?" she asked, which made him smile even more."Relax, I’m not your enemy. I might be the only person who can help you right now.""Helping me?" Crystal snorted in disbelief as she cast her gaze in another direction. "Why the hell would you do that?”His smile was evident, even behind the mask. The mysterious man reached into his pocket as he carefully observed the surroundings. He handed Crystal a photo that had been turned upside down, but she didn't open it right away and guessed first."Athena?""No! I’m talking about Leon!""Leon?" Crystal's e

While gazing at Athena's peaceful, sleeping face, Arthur reached for his other phone. Without ending the video call, he simply activated the mute function before dialing one of the people he trusted to keep an eye on Athena."Tighten your surveillance on that cunning man! Make sure he never enters her room again! Don't let your guard down for even a second, especially at night. And keep me updated whenever you or the others notice anything suspicious about him!"["Understood, Sir. The team and I will take turns standing guard according to schedule. Apologies for the slip-up earlier—we were still busy handling some matters Mrs. Athena requested."]"Hmm, alright. It's fine, she was able to handle it. But I’m warning all of you, do not let it happen again!"["Understood, Sir!"]Nodding, Arthur immediately ended the call with his trusted subordinate. He didn’t want to let his anger get the best of him, he understood the current situation there all too well. Athena had likely instructed he

"Yours?" Athena's breath hitched upon hearing it. Her heart pounded even faster, especially when the man who had already surprised her closed the distance between them until her eyes could see nothing but his handsome face. "Do you want me to say it again?" "Huh?" Arthur chuckled, watching the woman in front of him grow more nervous. That only made him even more eager to tease her. "Do you want to hear it again?" "Ah, well... I mean... since when was I yours? Did I miss something big?" Athena raised an eyebrow, trying to joke so she wouldn't immediately fall into the man's game. "You didn’t miss it, you’re about to face it. You're ready, aren’t you?" Feeling even more flustered, Athena was at a loss for words when she felt a warm arm wrap around her waist. Her eyes locked onto his, especially when Arthur gently caressed
