The screen flickers, and Jayden's face appears. "Hey, beautiful," he greets me, his smile warm and genuine. "How's everything over there?"

He leans back, glancing around as if taking in his surroundings. "London's... interesting. Few challenges here, but I think I've got them under control now." "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, I fired the CEO of Nexus London today."

"Not well. He actually tried to attack me."
