ra wanted to ask if he was happy with things, but something stopped her. It felt like she was caught in a web of danger, unsure of his thoughts. She swallowed hard, her nerves getting the best of her. As Aiden pushed Dn past her, she froze, intimidated by Dn''smanding presence. It wasn''t until they disappeared into the elevator that she snapped back to reality.


    Hastily, she rushed to the bedroom. Sarah was on the sofa, cheeks flushed and lips trembling with excitement. ra, clueless about what had happened, quickly asked, "Did he like you?"


    Sarah blushed even deeper, her face and neck turning a shade of crimson. "I think so. He just kept staring at my face without saying anything."


    ra felt a wave of relief wash over her. Dn wasn''t the type to stare, so maybe he really was impressed. As for his quick exit, perhaps his emotions were just too intense. Even the mostposed people can lose their cool in front of someone they hold dear.


    Sarah grabbed her hand, her excitement barely contained. "Ms. ra, will I get to see him again?"


    ra had already given her ten grand to tide her over financially. Sarah was more than willing to skip payment next time, just for another glimpse of him.


    ra, unsure of Dn''s feelings, didn''t want to make any promises. She set Sarah up in another room at the hotel, just in case. They exchanged numbers to keep in touch.


    Leaving the hotel, ra felt uneasy and tried calling Aiden, but he didn''t pick up. She''d hoped to gauge his thoughts, but that n was a bust. Back home, she couldn''t shake her anxiety. Was Dn satisfied or not? Why wouldn''t he just say something?


    Her worry lingered into the next day, and another call to Aiden went unanswered. She realized he was dodging her on purpose. Did Dn have a problem with Sarah? Was she not the right fit?


    As she debated calling Dn herself, fear gripped her. Just then, Ryan''s call interrupted her thoughts, offering a brief respite.


    "ra, Greysen is quietly buying up shares from other shareholders," he said.


    If Greysen seeded, the Bradford family''spany would be out of their hands. ra frowned. The execs seemed to back Greysen, and if things didn''t change, Greysen could be the new CEO.


    She quickly reviewed the Bradford Group''s exec files. The situation was grim since they''d recently opposed Ryan''s rise to CEO. Ryan was at a loss, which is why he turned to her.


    Taking a deep breath, she zeroed in on one key executive who held the most shares-seven percent. If Ryan could secure those, Greysen''s ns would be


    halted.


    "Ryan, focus on your duties. I''ll handle the shares,” she reassured him.


    Despite his exhaustion, Ryan wanted to stand by her, "ra, I want to be with you on this, just in case."


    "No need. You keep studying those documents and get everything down pat," she insisted.
