Chapter 271

Alicia's POV Edmund Hargrove cleared his throat from the head of the table. "Edward, you called this session." Edward stood. No hesitation. No nerves. He walked to the screen and clicked the remote. The first slide appeared. Singapore distribution center. Clean white background. The rendering wa

I watched Edward's hand rest against the edge of the table. His knuckles pressed down. His presentation folder sat open in front of him. The one with the Singapore projections. He'd come in prepared. Confident. Ready to walk this board through a plan he'd built piece by piece. And now he was standi

When Edward finally spoke, his words were measured. Careful. "With respect, Ms. Valentine, we're not talking about conditional compensation. These bonuses were earned. The question is whether we approve them now or create uncertainty that undermines executive retention." The room went quiet. He'd

Chapter 279

Edward’s POV The coffee had a skin on it. Grey film spreading slowly across the surface, as if it were growing something. I had been staring long enough to watch it form. Maria made it on Friday before she left. Said something about her sister’s birthday. Her sister has been dead for three years.
