Victor burst in, face twisted with age, Thomas stepped forward inst actively, putting himself between them.

You’ve gone too fart Victor shouted, not bothering with hello, I’m your uncle, for crying out loud! You might have the right to take back my overseas management, but you can’t touch my VP position?

Spit new from his mouth as he ranted, landing on Adam’s desk.

“And why push so hard?” Victor’s face turned redder by the second. Without a VP, think your job will be any easier? Who’s gonna handle everything while you’re wheeling around playing boss?”

Adam leaned back, putting distance between them. The warmth in his eyes from moments ago vanished completely.

“Want me to list all your overseas screw–ups?” His voice dropped dangerously low. “At work, it’s just business. Don’t drag family into this, and definitely don’t mention our family name.”

He leaned forward, eyes narrowing. “Do you even deserve it? Without our family, would you be standing here questioning me at all?”

Adam’s grip tightened on his armrest. “Our family’s real bad luck was getting stuck with you. Worried about mockery? You brought it on yourself. If you hadn’t messed up so badly, we wouldn’t be here. And you’re still not sorry, still bullheaded. Getting senile early, I

see.”

The memory of Irene tied to a chair made his voice turn to ice. “I’ll keep this simple. Three days. After that, I’ll go after your domestic rights too and tell the shareholders everything.”

His hands rested on his thighs, face stone–cold. The message couldn’t be clearer: hurt Irene, pay the price- family or not.

Victor stood there panting like a bull. After what felt like forever, he stormed out, slamming the door hard enough to rattle the pictures on the wall.

Adam took a breath, tapping his fingers on the desk. His eyes fell back to his phone, and just like that, his expression softened.

“Get the car,” he told Thomas. “Let’s pick up Irene.”

Night had fallen by the time they pulled up to the research center. The earlier blowup with Victor seemed miles away now.

“You look happy,” Thomas said, catching Adam’s eye in the mirror. “Minute ago you were ready to destroy your uncle, now you’re

cool as a cucumber.”

Adam–kept watching the entrance. “Some people just make everything better.”

At eight, Irene finally appeared. When she slid into the seat, Adam immediately spotted the tiredness around her eyes and the way

she rubbed her wrist.

“Just wrap up?” he asked.

“Yeah,” she sighed. “Data’s done, but the final processing took forever. Her hair looked slightly messy, like she’d rushed out the door.

“It’s eight already,” Adam said, voice much gentler than before. “Guessing you skipped dinner? No matter how swamped you get, you’ve gotta eat. Work’s not worth your health.”

He noticed her massaging her wrist and frowned. “Hurts?”

Irene paused, a warm feeling spreading through her at his concern. She looked at him for a beat, touched by his worry.

“It’s nothing,” she smiled. “Just held equipment too long. Not used to the marathon workdays anymore.”

“Thomas, Adam called, “take us to that place nearby. You know the one.”

‘Got it, Thomas nodded. Just around the corner.”

The restaurant hummed with quiet conversation, tables spaced for privacy. Candles flickered between them as Thomas headed out, promising to return in an hour.

How was your day?” Irene asked, sipping water. “Company okay?”
