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

"Hey yourself," I say, managing a small smile. "We're doing alright, keeping busy. You?"

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."

"How did he take it?"

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

"Oh shit. Are you okay?"

"He never got close, Viktor is lightning fast. We are a formidable team."

"You still need to be careful. I'm not sure ruffling feathers like that is wise."

"No. It needed to be done. Things here are stagnant and he was resistant to change."

"Just have a conversation with him, perhaps you can come to an agreement," I suggest.
