"Please forgive the innocent in this matter, sir. I promise I will beat what he should have learned today into his bones, preferably with blood," Joe said, not once glancing at his unconscious son.He stood next to Sebastian with the same humility a commoner showed a lord when begging for mercy.Joe feared more than the loss of a contract. He feared Sebastian would take out his anger on Joe's Dispensary.…I glared at him and sneered, "Is that how your mind works? An apology, if theatrically delivered, somehow fixes everything? He drugged my girlfriend last night and planned to send her to his room to be raped. Do you hear me? He tried to rape her."Joe shivered. Desperation crept into his voice."Then your son brought a group of henchmen and barged into her room to do what he could not do the night before. I do not even know how he got her room access card."Then, after I taught him a lesson and let him go, your son strutted back into our room and told me you would back him. Th

"Wait! Since when are we getting married? How come I have no idea?" I asked, baffled."Denial won't get you far, Sebastian! I overheard it myself from Claire's grandmother! You two are supposed to get married soon!" she snapped.I froze as realization dawned, then chuckled, amused. "No, no! That was just Claire and me pretending to be a couple so her grandmother wouldn't worry about her love life and future!"Metis widened her eyes in disbelief. "Is that true?""Of course it is!" I nodded, slightly confused by her sudden mood swings."This is wonderful! I knew the universe wouldn't let me miss my true, destined love twice. I misunderstood you, yet the universe brought us back together, as though we were never meant to be apart. I almost misunderstood you for life…" she murmured so softly that I could barely make out the words.I wondered if she was cursing me under her breath for calling her my girlfriend. Then, suddenly, she looked up. "What were you actually thinking when you c

Metis was walking toward me, but Kevin mistook her approach as coming toward him. "Whoa, sweetheart. Hello! I'm the leader of the Streamlining Team in this factory. Never met you before."He continued, "Are you here for a job? Well, you're in luck. My words carry a lot of weight here. I can make sure you get hired! Let's add each other on Instagram or something. I make a few thousand dollars every month and just bought a car…"He flashed his most winning smile and stepped toward Metis, phone in hand.Metis ignored him and brushed past without so much as a glance.Kevin's smile froze."Sebastian, shall we continue?" she said, standing beside me with a smile.I forced myself not to laugh. "Okay."As we turned to leave, Kevin suddenly blocked our path, pointing a finger at me in furious disbelief. "Stop! You aren't here with him, right, sweetheart? He's not your boyfriend, is he?!"Metis' expression turned icy. My stomach knotted. How could this idiot pick the one thing that would

"He doesn't deserve your respect!" Kevin shouted.Taylor's hand shot out, striking his cheek with a sharp crack. "Are you too stupid to realize how stupid you are? Mr. Grimwald has given you multiple chances to make things right for your own sake, and this is what you did with them?"He isn't here to get a job, dumbass! He came to offer this company a contract worth 42 million dollars! Could you ever earn that much in your lifetime? Huh? Could you?"Taylor's eyes blazed. "How dare you look down on someone with that much capability and influence? You're nothing but a useless nobody!"He drew a breath and straightened. "Frankly, I planned to promote you to second-in-command of this factory because you're Mr. Grimwald's cousin. But thanks to your own stupidity, I don't have to make that mistake!"His voice turned cold. "You've ruined your own career. You're not even a team leader anymore, Kevin Grimwald. You're fired."Taylor turned away from him and forced an uneasy smile toward Me

After a few final words with Taylor, Metis and I left Lockheed Pharma. Taylor saw us off at the gate."So… now that you've got the formula and secured your production line, what's next?" she asked."Making sales, of course! Everything's in place. Now's the time to make big banks!" I said, grinning.The only step left was to return to Astergrad for a bank loan. Sleeping Giant didn't have enough funds to cover the amount stated in our contract."Any plans to advance your romantic front?" she asked, her eyes bright with curiosity."Oh. Maybe after I'm officially divorced. It'll be finalized in two days, by the time I'm back in the city," I said after a pause. "Right now, all I care about is my career and dream."My last marriage had been a disaster. How could I even think about starting another one so soon after all that?The spark in Metis's eyes dimmed. "Oh, I see."Silence settled in the car."What about you? Now that you've dropped out of the competition, will you return to A
