“I didn’t expect you to ask me about it.”Darius shrugged, not really interested in Borisin’s opinion. He sat back down on the sofa and shrugged. “So, why’d you come here to see me?”“They’re suspecting me.” Borisin sounded calm, but there was a deep frown on his face. It showed that he wasn’t as calm as he sounded.Darius also frowned. “How did things end up like this? Haven’t you been acting exactly the way they wanted you to?”Borisin leaned back, shut his eyes, and sighed. “That’s the thing that I don’t get, but I’m sure that they’re suspicious of me now, especially about our relationship. Before I came here today, they made it extremely clear to me that I had to bring you back no matter what.”Darius leaned back and pressed his temples. “If that’s the case, you can take me away now.”Borisin’s eyes widened, and he shook his head. “No, if I take you away, no one knows what you’ll be put through, and it’ll be a huge blow to the Reid Consortium. Taking you away at this moment will o

The fan’s courage was further bolstered by Borisin not doing anything. She removed her hands from her hips and pointed at him, saying with her head held high, “Are you acting like this because you know I’m right? You went in there to negotiate with Darius, and he must’ve bought you over. That’s why you came out here to push the blame on us! You must’ve also decided not to take him away!”Borisin didn’t look too happy. He said, “The truth behind Felix jumping off the building is all over the internet, and he’s clearly told the world about his true intentions and mistakes. Aside from you guys, everyone else who watched the live stream should know about this.” After a short pause, he smiled mockingly. “Or perhaps someone among your companions knows the truth but didn’t bother telling you—not that I care. I want you to stop using your opinions to affect our work. Since this is your first time doing something like this, I won’t take you away. However, if you pull something like this agai

She bowed deeply at him and said, “I know I’ve made too many mistakes recently for you to turn a blind eye, and I’m not here to ask for forgiveness—all I want to do is hand over my work. From now on, I won’t show up in front of you unless it’s absolutely necessary or if you ask for me. I know it will only upset you.”Darius felt a little uncomfortable at her shaky tone, and he felt like he was being a little cruel. This feeling soon disappeared, though. “If those are your true thoughts, perhaps you’ll have a chance of returning to my side.” He waved a hand and said, “That’s too far in the future to say, though. Now, you need to leave my room. I’ve spent way too much time and energy on you today, and I don’t want to do that anymore.”Erin paled again. She didn’t want to leave but knew she had no choice. Moreover, Darius had already softened his stance a little after she’d admitted to her mistakes—he’d said that there was a chance she could return to his side and work for him. This was

After all, this concerned Darius and Erin’s relationship! Before this, the two of them had been on such good terms, yet Darius had still fired Erin. He’d even had her stationed somewhere far away from him and immediately executed his decision. Darius had been in such a rush to get Erin away from him that he couldn’t even wait till they were back at the company. In other words, Darius had chosen to have Erin sent away at the cost of the company’s performance. It showed how massive a mistake Erin must’ve made.Even if Darius was just temporarily sending Erin away to teach her a lesson, it still had to be because of something she’d done wrong. Zack wasn’t in the right position to plead on her behalf.On the other hand, Darius frowned after hanging up. He looked out the window and saw that the sky had already turned dark. He’d been so busy today that it felt like he’d already lived through several days, but none of the problems that had cropped up had been resolved. On the contrary, he

“Do you get what I mean?”Alicia stiffened, then looked up at Darius in shock. The things he’d just said were completely different from what she’d heard before. She frowned, took a deep breath, and said, “That’s not what Erin told me, though.”Darius sighed at Erin’s name being brought up again. He leaned back and waved a hand, saying, “You don’t need to listen to a word Erin says. Now, no one can be sure that she’s truly loyal to West Atlantics Int’l… but you are, right?” He looked at Alicia.Alicia was dumbfounded. She could clearly catch his underlying meaning, and her lips trembled. She’d never thought about Erin’s viewpoint, but she knew very well that there would be a vacancy to work closely with Darius now that something had happened to put some distance between him and Erin—and she was the best person to fill that vacancy. Her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously took a step forward.Darius could sense her breathing speed up with excitement, but he didn’t know the reason behind
