Chapter 9 - Chapter 10:The Business World's Unsettling Calm

‎After the shake of the business world came an unsettling calm, one that made everyone question the stability of the industry. Anne Victoria Matthews was restless, even in her victory, because she had a number of enemies who would stop at nothing to bring her down. Her only hope was Julian.

‎Julian was known for his inhumanity and ruthless nature. Only by partnering with him could she be secure, but he was a long shot, and she wasn't ready for the stakes, which would most definitely be high. But what could she do? She was threatened by the silence and calm of the industry. So, she was going all out to get him on her side.

‎Meanwhile, in a different part of town:

‎"I need everything you have on Anne Victoria Matthews by the next hour," a cold and commanding voice said.

‎"Right away, sir. But if I may, why do you need her information? She's one of our rival companies," the assistant asked. However, he was met with a fierce look that sent shivers down his spine.

‎"When is it your turn to question me?" the voice growled.

‎The assistant broke out in cold sweat and apologized repeatedly. "I'm sorry, sir. I'll get it to you in the next hour," he said fearfully and exited the office.

‎Sitting behind the desk was an elegant-looking man, with the face of a thousand models and the body of a Greek god. He towered above all with his height, reaching 7'2". He had risen to become who he was in just a few years, climbing the business walls with strength and resilience. He was the richest man in the country, but his background remained a mystery.
