Chapter 31: What Lies Beneath

Cassian sat at his desk, his laptop open in front of him. The screen showed a video call. His assistant looked tense, almost uneasy.“Sir, you need to come back,” the assistant said, his voice careful but firm. “Chairman Hale is not happy. He already knows you’ve been posing as… as someone without status.”Cassian’s expression did not change. He leaned back slightly in his chair, calm as ever.“He would find out sooner or later,” Cassian said.“This is different,” the assistant continued. “He’s angry. The board is asking questions too.
