Ised back to reality. "Nothing.
"Do you know him?" He smirked.
I shook my head. "No." +8 Pearls Yale continued, "There are reports that Everett has recently returned to the country, and BPL will be bidding for the Azure Bay project.
I was momentarily stunned.
Caden once said that the Azure Bay project was his responsibility.
Whatever he wanted, no one in Rivemon dared refuse him, let alone challenge him.
But now, Everett's BPL was openly competing with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince BPL. had also recently acquired Heartstone Jewels and copied 'Ice and Fire, causing trouble for the Eclipse Pack, it was hard to believe this wasn't a targeted move.
"Mr. Holbrook, this is all the information we could gather on Everett for now, Yale said, flipping to the last page of the report.
Caden's expression darkened slightly. "Keep a close watch on BPL." "Yes, Mr. Holbrook!" Yale replied crisply. "If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work." Yale exited the office with keen awareness and thoughtfully shut the door behind him.
Now, only Caden and I remained.
"Caden." "Rosaline." We spoke at the stime, creating a brief moment of awkwardness.
His deep gaze locked onto me, and he curled his lips slightly. "You first." I nodded, cleared my throat, and said, “I've been thinking about a countermeasure regarding Heartstone Jewels's imitation of our Ice and Fire' line." Caden seemed disinterested. "Oh?" "Since we can't immediately prove their plagiarism, our best move is to refine our product and innovate,” I continued.

"Rosaline, did I say you could leave?" Suddenly, he stood up, took a long stride, and blocked my way. His narrowed eyes and impassive face bore into me. "Is business all you want to talk about?" His powerful presence pressed down on me, makingpause.
"It's working hours. What else should we talk about? Besides, there's nothing personal between us worth discussing." I replied coolly.
"Nothing to talk about?” His deep gaze examined me, probing.
Our eyes met, and that familiar feeling madewaver for a fleeting moment.
I bit my lip before saying, "If we must discuss personal matters, I should be heading to treat Mr. Richard for his second session this afternoon. Are you coming with me?” "Sure." Caden gave a brief nod.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go now." My mind was still fixated on the Azure Bay project.
I couldn't believe that the man I met at the airport-the one I later sent to the hospital after his accident- was none other than Everett.
This was no coincidence.
I wanted Anthony to investigate Everett further. Knowing one's opponent is the key to victory.

Caden's well-defined hand pulledclose, trappingin place.
"Caden, what are you doing?" My breath hitched as I questioned him. Deep inside, Freya stirred restlessly.
Every twe were alone, this man had to pull something like this!
"What exactly is going on between you and Jasper?" Caden's brows furrowed, his thin lips parting slightly.
I frowned.
