“Of course.”Zoe said it so casually that the words almost sounded like a simple fact rather than a bold claim.She pushed herself up from the couch slowly, smoothing her hair back with one hand before folding both arms confidently across her chest.Her posture changed the moment she stood.Moments ago she had been sitting beside Pete, pretending to comfort him. Now she carried herself like someone presenting a brilliant idea in a boardroom meeting.“I’m not someone you can underestimate,” she continued, her voice calm but filled with quiet pride. “It’s not that hard.”Pete remained seated, watching her carefully.The baby was still crying somewhere behind them, but neither of them looked in that direction now. Zoe’s words had shifted the focus of the room.“Now that Chapman Corp pulled out,” she went on, slowly pacing across the living room as though she were thinking aloud, “we can simply find another partner.”Her voice became more animated with each step.“Say… the Wesley.”Her fa

Pete walked into the company building that morning with long, impatient strides, his face already tight with irritation from the moment he stepped out of his car.The events of the past few days had not gone the way he expected, and the tension had been building quietly inside him like a storm waiting for the right moment to break loose.Still, nothing prepared him for the sight that greeted him the second he pushed open the glass door and stepped into the office floor.The place looked like a moving ground.Desks that once held carefully arranged documents were now in disarray. Office chairs were pushed aside, drawers pulled open, and cardboard boxes sat scattered everywhere. Staff members who normally sat quietly at their workstations were now moving around with a sense of urgency, clearing out their desks as though they were fleeing a sinking ship.For a moment, Pete simply stood there.His eyes moved slowly across the room, disbelief forming gradually on his face as the reality of

“Mr. Jordan,” David said quietly.He stood a few steps away from Pete, his hands clasped nervously in front of him. His head remained bowed for a moment before he slowly lifted it just enough to meet Pete’s gaze. The hesitation in his eyes was clear, but he forced himself to speak anyway.“I probably can’t bring her back,” he continued carefully.Pete frowned slightly, not yet understanding what he meant.David swallowed before finishing the sentence.“Because I’ll be quitting too.”The moment the words left his mouth, he lowered his head again immediately, as though bracing himself for the explosion he knew would follow.Pete jerked upright like someone who had just been struck by electricity.“What?” he shouted.His voice echoed sharply across the now empty office floor. His eyebrows knitted tightly together as he stared at David in disbelief, his mouth still partly open as if the word had escaped before his mind could fully process it.David raised both hands slightly in a calming

Petra stood quietly for a moment after the engineers had forced Pete to release her hand.The rush of adrenaline that had surged through her body during the struggle slowly began to settle, leaving behind a dull throbbing pain in her wrist where Pete had gripped her.She gently raised her hand and began rubbing the area, her fingers moving carefully around the tender spot as she examined the faint redness beginning to form around the skin.The pain was not unbearable, but it was enough to remind her just how tightly Pete had grabbed her.“Ms. Chapman, are you okay?” one of the engineers asked immediately, stepping closer with visible concern written all over his face. His voice carried genuine worry as his eyes moved from her face down to her wrist, clearly checking if she had been seriously hurt.He leaned slightly forward, as though ready to help if she needed support.Petra gave a small nod, though her hand was still massaging the aching spot. “I’m fine,” she replied calmly, even th

“Mr. Winslow,” Petra said, turning back to Oscar with a polite but slightly apologetic smile lingering on her lips. “I’ve got dinner plans with them tonight to celebrate. Why don’t we meet another time?”The excitement from the unexpected invitation was still evident on her face, but she tried to keep her tone composed.The group of engineers standing nearby nodded subtly as though confirming her words. The celebration had been planned earlier in the day after the successful completion of an important phase of the project.Everyone had been looking forward to unwinding together after weeks of exhausting schedules, and Petra had promised she would join them.Oscar Wesley listened quietly, the calm expression on his face never wavering. Instead of looking disappointed, he simply allowed a soft chuckle to escape his lips.“No worries,” Oscar said with a warm smile that seemed to ease the slight tension in the air. “There’s no clash. I’ve taken care of their dinner. Someone will pick them
