#130 “I’ll Handle Vegas.”

Alexander glared at his phone, seeing yet another message from Megan. For days, he had been dodging her, avoiding calls and messages with the excuse of being too busy.

The weight of his responsibilities weighed heavily on him, especially with Kyle struggling and delayed with his research results. The impending merger of the two companies couldn’t be delayed forever.

His phone buzzed again with another message.

“Why are you avoiding me? We have to sign the agreement before the wedding, and I miss you. Text me.”

Running his hands through his hair, Alexander knew he couldn’t continue evading Megan. The stress of the past few days was taking a toll on him, and he realized he had to succeed in time or he risked reaching a point where, if the two companies merged, there was no going back.

Megan’s persistent messages and inquiries made him anxious. He knew that if Megan grew suspicious, Kyle’s mission to gather crucial information would be jeopardized.

A furrowed brow and a deep sigh accompanied Alexander’s realization that any misstep could foil the plan to expose Megan’s schemes once and for all.
