Chapter 218

Messages sent into the void, Hamilton sat in his office, halfway listening to the new marketing manager pitch the summer campaign. Mid-sentence, frustration took over; he tossed the proposal across the room. "Take it back, redo it. Do you even grasp the theme of this summer's market? Have you done your research? If not, maybe take a page from your predecessor's book."

The marketing manager hastily agreed, scooping up the documents and exiting the office.

Hamilton's gaze lingered on his phone on the desk. It took him a moment before he finally picked it up, his heart sinking a bit as he read Natalia's two messages. Thankfulness, it seemed, was all that remained between them. Without it, she probably wouldn't even bother replying.

After a brief pause, he texted back, "No worries, it's all sorted now."

Natalia, on receiving his message, paused, then set her phone aside without a response.

The next day, Natalia arrived early at the golf course where she and Greysen had planned to meet.

The Browns' business had always navigated the gray areas of legality, yet Greysen himself appeared remarkably reserved. In his forties, he had the aura of authority and calmness.

Seeing Greysen, Natalia was slightly taken aback. Greysen, catching sight of Natalia, complimented, "Ms. Jenkins, you're even more stunning in person than in photos."

He had researched her during the Gideon incident but hadn't thought much of her pictures then. Now, seeing her in person, he had to admit, Hamilton had good taste. Even in her simple sports attire, she radiated beauty. "Shall we have a round? We can talk as we play," Greysen suggested, gesturing with his golf club.
