Waylen’s eyes slitted, his anticipation for the next encounter with Rena palpable. He yearned to possess her, by any means necessary, to bring his dream to a close and finally take her home.

Waylen sat alone, a formidable stack of documents before him. His demeanor exuded an air of aloof professionalism, a stark departure from the affable young man of the previous night.
A fleeting smile graced Darren’s lips as he inquired. “Mr. Fowler, is there something significant you wish to discuss?”
Waylen lifted his gaze.

“I intend to invest one billion dollars in the Moore Group. However, there’s a stipulation. You must depart from the Moore Group and join the Fowler Group.”
Darren’s surprise was evident.
One billion dollars. Waylen was prepared to spend such an exorbitant sum on him, an aging executive?
