I raise my eyebrows, making my point and insult clear to him. His eyes turn dark for a flash of a second. Someone is getting angry. Well, that's the plan. To make Dhruv Saxena's day miserable. Some people just deserve a taste of their own medicine. "For you may not know,Miss Adarsh. Successful people can't rely on the flow of the moment,as you so efficiently state.They need to be in control of the situation. I suggest you learn a bit of it. Might help you with your life."

He sits in his desk and shakes his head, “I still can’t believe he talked to you about it.” “Me neither. I don’t know if I should be happy because he finally trusts me, or sad because now I share a part of his past.” “Happiness is always better. The past is the past, it’s gone and it’s better not to keep thinking about it. Successful people work for the present to assure a good future, that’s how you should think.” I nod, “He thinks that the way I see him changed.” “That’s the reason why he doesn’t talk to people. He thinks that he’ll get attached, and one day they will leave him if they know his true self.”

“Ms. Voss… I’ll need your signature.” My stomach tightened. I picked up the pen anyway, trying to look willing. Not yet. Please, not yet. “One last question,” I said. He sighed. “I thought we were finished with questions.” “What inspired you to create Roth Global?” His fingers curled against the armrest. The forced smile didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ve already answered that.” “I wanted the real version.” Silence stretched. The air felt heavier. Then he spoke, voice controlled. “The real version is that successful people create opportunities. Unsuccessful people become opportunities.”

Because the people writing them weren't thinking the same way anymore, weren't operating from the same assumptions. "They're changing faster than expected," Rowan said, stepping into the room with observation in hand. I nodded agreement, seeing the same pattern he did. "They're thinking." That simple shift explained everything. That was all it took for transformation to accelerate. Once people started genuinely thinking rather than just following, momentum built exponentially. Rowan folded his arms slightly, casual gesture masking serious question. "You think he's watching?" Hale observing from wherever he'd gone. I paused for a moment, considering the possibility carefully.

Dante thought leadership was about barking orders to your inferiors, when in reality, it was about guiding your team to success. Theo stopped by my place so we could go over the numbers together, with scotch and cigars to celebrate. “Easiest money I’ve ever made.” Theo tossed the sheet onto the coffee table. “He spent his life building this business, and we just—” he snapped his fingers “—took it like that. Fuck, that feels good.”

Chapter 27: OLIVE’s POV Zane's voice drummed across the room, in a deep and controlled manner, the kind of voice that made people shut up and listen whether they wanted to or not. I kept my eyes on my phone, pretending I wasn't hanging on every word. "...success isn't about talent," he was saying. "It's about knowing what you want and taking it. No apologies. No hesitation." My throat went dry. "Some people spend their whole lives waiting for permission to go after what they want. Waiting for someone to tell them they're good enough, strong enough, worthy enough."

He paced the room, his frustration radiating off him in waves. "Look, if you have a problem with the way I interact with people, that's on you. I'm not going to change who I am because you're insecure. Thi casual, 'flirty' way, as you put it, is the secret behind my success. It's how I get people to buy into my ideas, to believe in what we're doing. It's how I get them to want to accomplish something."

As such, she abandoned the thought. She mumbled under her breath, "I just think you're too successful in business. It'd be a shame if you didn't pass on your experience." Julian's tone remained completely emotionless. "Everything I do is actually very simple. As long as people are willing to sacrifice profits, they can achieve the same results. However, the problem is that most bosses can't bear to part with their money. They can't wait to put all the money they earn into their own pockets."

I heard him say and I said it along with him. "Such opportunities don't come easily and often. So once you have it, you don't mess it up. Even if you want to mess it up, then your reason better be a good one. In your case, I don't see why you should miss it. It's a huge event. I don't think your boss can take you away in the presence of many like that. So If I were you, I would not miss this lifetime great opportunity to share what I can do with people who may want to invest in my ideas. That is how billionaires began their success stories. It is always about presenting their ideas to the world and finding someone to invest in it," I heard Black say and it put a smile on my face. "Thank you,

"Frankly, I couldn't care less. And neither should you. In fact, that's my first bit of advice if we're going to do this - you have to stop being concerned about what other people think of you. Trust me, it will make everything a lot easier." I almost argue that I don't care about what other people think of me, but I know that's a lie. "But doesn't that defeat the whole point?" I say. "Just last night you were telling me I shouldn't let people think I'm desperate." "Understanding how others might perceive you and caring about it are two very different things.
