“Word is Abel showed up at the office?”

A call came through out of nowhere. The moment Demi answered, a man’s cold, sinister voice cut straight through the line.
“Yeah.”
Demi wiped her fingertips slowly, speaking in her usual calm tone.
“Yeah? That’s all you’ve got to say? Abel never gave a damn about thepany before, but the family’s always favored him. Now if he actually decides to put in effort, where the hell does that leave us? You being this chill makes me seriously question whether I should’ve partnered with you.”
His voice grew sharper by the second, and Demi could even hear loud crashes and thuds in the background.
She pressed her fingers into her temple, clearly annoyed.
If the Shaws didn’t care so much about bloodline, she never would’ve sunk low enough to make a deal with a guy like him.
“Why are you panicking?”
She rubbed at her brow. Her voice already sounded tired.
“Just because Abel came back doesn’t mean he’s suddenlypetent. He starved himself for days over some girl named Tess. A guy like that isn’t cut out for Shaw Corporation.”
Now that there were no eyes around, Demi sneered openly, her tone dripping with disdain.
The man on the other end went quiet for a moment. Then, after a long pause, his tone cooled as well.
“But you know better than anyone how much the Shaws value Abel. All he has to do is show a little initiative, and the old man’s ready to hand him the whole empire on a silver tter. Don’t tell me you’re not even a little worried?”
“What’s the point of worrying?”
Demi’s voice was calm and steady.
“Abel’s probably just caught up in the moment. He wants to use this to earn Tess some clout within the Shaws.”
She scoffed, clearly looking down on Abel’s so–called devotion and mocking his stupidity. Out of all things, he chose to fight for a woman in the middle of this massive power y?
“That girl–Tess, right? Does she really hold that much sway?”
He didn’t sound convinced..

There had been tons of noise in Kingndtely about the Larsons announcing their sessor. All signs. pointed to Tess. But her connection with Abel hadn’t blown up publicly, just whispers and rumors about something going on between them.
“Abel spent years looking for her. Now that he finally found her, of course he’s treating her like gold.
Demi let out a cold snort.
The man on the other end frowned.
He still found it hard to believe. How the hell did someone like Abel, heir to one of the wealthiest families in the nation, end up turning into some pathetic lovesick fool? It was ridiculous.
“Wait till you get back. See it for yourself.”
Demi could hear the doubt in his voice, but she couldn’t be bothered to exin. She kept fiddling with her nails.
“Soon. I’ll be back in a few days.”
His voice grew vague, his thoughts already drifting.
Tess.
He silently mouthed the name, trying to recall every piece of information he’d heard about her.
Demi raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Ss Shaw, don’t even think about it. You know exactly what kind of guy Abel is.”
Her tone turned colder,yered with warning.
There was a long pause on the other end. Then the man scoffed. “What do you think I’m gonna do? It’s just a woman. Not like I haven’t had my fill.”
“You better mean that.”
Demi exhaledzily.
“When I get back, we start.”
The man’s voice dropped low.
Demi’s grip on the wheel tightened.
“Fine.”
At the same time, on the top floor of Shaw Corporation….
Abel’s eyes twitched.

He reached up and rubbed his brow.
Maybe the past couple days had really taken a toll on his body.

He thought about it for a second, then finally set aside the file in his hands and looked at the pasta sitting on his desk. It had already gone cold.
“It’s cold.”
He touched the outside of the container. No heat left at all. Abel let out a small sigh and opened it anyway.
The sauce had gone stiff.
He stared at it for a moment, then dropped his gaze with a bitter smile.
He’d spent so many days messing around out there, and now that he was finally back, his workload had exploded.
Yeah, he was tired. But when he thought of her, it didn’t feel that bad.
His mind started to wander. He pulled open a drawer. Right in the middle was a photo.
He picked it up. It was a stack.
Abel flipped through them slowly, eating the cold pasta as he went.
Every single one of them was of Tess.
There was no helping it. She was far away now. This was the only way he could see her face.
He leaned back, sighed again, and almostughed at himself.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.
The faint smile on Abel’s face vanished instantly.
“Come in.”
The door opened.
Miles Goodturn stepped in, eyes falling on the desk. He blinked. “Mr. Abel? You’re just now eating? That’s gotta be cold by now. Let me get you a fresh one.”
He stepped forward to clear the desk, but Abel raised a hand to stop him. “No need. What is it?”
