Threats and Promises.
Thanks to Avery’s clear statement at the press conference, the fans slowly regained their composure. The backlash against TS Entertainment faded, replaced by anticipation for Avery Band’s final performance
A few days later, Tessa and Landon made time to visit Walter at the Sinclair Residence.
After they left, Tessa closed her eyes for a brief rest. By the time she opened them again, the car had pulled up in front of Thorne Corp.
“Why’d you bring me here?”
“I’ve got something I need to take care of,” Landon said, glancing at her. “Can you just stay with me a bit? Taking you back first would waste too much time.”
“Alright.”
“How’s the concert coming along?”
“Everything’s ready. We’re just waiting on final rehearsals.” Tessa smiled faintly. Avery Band would always hold a special place in her heart. It was a piece of her youth.
“Do you know how much it hurts to see you so exhausted? And I can’t do anything to help. It’s a terrible feeling.”
She really was brilliant–gifted at everything she touched.
But that brilliance came with a cost.
“I’m sorry, Landon. I’ve been so busy lately. I haven’t spent any time with you.”
They were both always swamped. Quality time had been rare.
She couldn’t help but feel like she was failing as a girlfriend.

When they arrived at Thorne Corp, the senior executives were already assembled ?
Landon brought Tessa into his office and handed her a blanket.
“Take a nap while I’m in the meeting. I’ll come get you afterward.”
“You don’t want me to come with you?”

“No. Just rest. You’ve been sleeping three or four hours a night. Take this moment and catch up.
“Alright. If you need anything, just say the word.”

She knew there were forces targeting Thorne Corp lately,
There were always people in this world who didn’t know their place.
“Enough of that. Sleep. Don’t overthink it.”
If he couldn’t handle something this small, he wouldn’t be Landon Thorne.
Tessa looped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a quick kiss at the corner of his lips.
“Go.”
“Wait for me here. Afterward, I’ll take you out for dinner.”
“Okay.”
To her, he was all that mattered.
And he loved that about her.

When Landon stepped into the conference room, Nathaniel immediately called the meeting to order.
Landon didn’t say much. But just the look on his face made the entire room fall silent with fear.
No one dared speak out of turn.
