Nathan couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy towards Felix, but had to admit that the guy had sserious chops.

Especially when it cto negotiations - he had a presence that could go toe-to-toe with President Miller himself.

He remembered the tFelix was gambling like his life depended on it. Back then, it was to pay for Listina's medical bills. Felix

tried everything under the sun, and somehow, he always managed to cout on top.

Now, overseeing the vast empire of the Miller Group, Felix was still in his element. Despite the workload, he had everything running

like a well-oiled machine.

At the thought of this, Nathan's spirits fell a notch. Carol didn't just fancy Felix for no reason. Unlike himself, who was fairly

competent, but that was just among regular Joes.

"Nathan, if Carol ever asks you something, don’t spill the beans, okay?"

Nathan was puzzled. What would Carol ask him about?

"I'm gonna cby later and pack up the gifts I gave Fiona. I'll get her something better."

Nathan had suspected those gifts were from Carol. Now Carol was here and Felix was coming over tonight?

A wave of guilt washed over him, "What tyou think you'll swing by?"

"Around midnight. Got meetings till then."

it's good that you're keeping it strictly business with her. Felix, Listina's been waiting for you. Don't let her down; otherwise, your

folks would be disappointed.”

When Felix's mom had taken that tragic leap, she'd made Felix promise to take care of Listina, to make her happy. It was like the

family owed a debt to the

debt, and he did it without any regrets because he cared for Listina.

But now, Nathan's words stung, as
