Asher's voice carried a hint of smugness, "Looks like the tables have turned."
He still had vivid memories of the incident at Maple Group. Back then, Lemira had the audacity to make him beg
her.
Deep down, Asher harbored resentment, and now, it was finally her turn to utter those words.
He wondered how long Lemira could hold out.
With a frosty tone, Lemira retorted, "No, it's still you who's begging."
Asher snorted, "Lemira, I've been patient with you out of respect for our parents. But if you're going to be this
clueless, you might as well leave the company. We wouldn't want to upset our folks." Lemira glanced around the
office, her eyes landing on the framed motto "Hard Work Pays Off" that her father had once inscribed.
Unmoved, she stated, "But you're the one who soughtout this time."
"Me, seek you out? Don't be ridiculous. Just go, | have work to attend to. Without your firewall code, | can find
someone else with the skills to rewrite it."
Asher's tone was laced with derision, "Nothing is irreplaceable."
"That's true, but the person you found was me."
"You? Impossible."
Asher was quick to dispute, skepticism evident in his expression. "The person | contacted is a reliable nin

As Lemira finished, Asher's expression soured. The person he had reached out to had indeed turned down the job
upon learning the company's address.
Asher, at a loss for words, stared at the documents before him.

Lemira met his gaze, "Honestly, | don't have the tfor that."
"Yet here you are, making sure | realize | can't find anyone trustworthy without you, right?"
Asher adjusted his tie, clearly agitated.

Lemira's gaze was steady, "It's a fair trade for you."
"Lemira, what makes you think I'd agree? | can't even trust outsiders, let alone you. Do you know how much

Asher was not keen on repeating history.
"But your resorting to the black market suggests you couldn't find anyone suitable, doesn't it?"

Asher, infuriated by her gaze, exploded, "Lemira, dare you say that in front of the legacy our father left?"
"And would you? To tell them the whole story without feeling guilty?" Lemira countered with equal fervor.
