Showing no signs of moving toward him, I merely gave him a slight nod. He instantly rushed toward me. That was when I noticed that he was limping. Despite trying his best, he couldn't move as quickly. Seeing my gaze fall on his leg, he scratched his head sheepishly, a look of awkwardness crossing his face. "A few years back, I accidentally fell into a cement pit while working on a construction site. I didn't go to the hospital in time, so my leg ended up like this. "Don't worry, though.

Outside, the city sprawled in silver and neon, its skyscrapers flexing their muscles against the night, all oblivious to the predator perched above them, measuring their every secret.

I tried to ignore the piercing pain in my chest and said coldly. “I want to see the accurate analysis report and remediation plan tomorrow morning before the meeting.” My gaze swept across everyone in the meeting room, including those gossipmongers. “The meeting is adjourned.” I stood up and left the meeting room. Hushed whispers surged up again like a tide. This time, even more unbridled than it was before. “Why is he acting all high and mighty? He only got to the position of director because of Ms. Stewart.” “The old geezer just flew into a rage. Did his mid-life crisis come early?”

Princess in the illusion of their greed? “Haha, you completely underestimate the power of beauty, my friend” Roger suddenly laughed in response. He shook his head slowly as he continued. “This time I will give you 1 million, next time there are such goods remember to give me first priority” “Haha, that’s for sure! Then one million it is, deal?” Beta Miguel replied. “Deal,” Roger replied with a slight smile as they shake hands again after which, he outstretched his hand to shake the other party’s.

Something inside her then told her to look up again to the same way, Hattiea was debating to do so or not. As she felt nervousness clouding her thoughts again, she wanted to see whether the stranger was still staring at her or not, even after seeing her with Jayson... She slowly moved her head upwards again but then her breath got hitched, when she saw the stranger glaring at her intensely. Unknown to her own knowledge, Hattiea's heart started feeling like it would explode any minute. The stare that bothered Hattiea before now turned into an angry glare.

What are they asking Blair to get ready with? Half an hour later, when Sally arrived at the so-called Skyhigh Gardens along with Elijah, she finally understood why Ol’ Joe had reacted like that. Skyhigh Gardens was not the name of a restaurant. It was a hotel’s rooftop. The hotel had a little more than thirty floors. The building was not tall, but it was not short either. It was just nice when one wanted to enjoy a scenic view of the city.

It was way bigger than that! Sherry Hue noticed a combination of numerous floors of a high rise building and a residential area that resembled a garden as soon as she got out of the automobile. Bryan's residence is a posh condominium called Golden Edge. A typical wealthy family will not be able to afford to live in this new residential area due to the high cost and tight security. Additionally, no one can purchase a home in this area due to the high cost. She had heard that a mansion here would cost at least $50 billion.
