“Sorry, Elsa,” Calvin said.

Elsa squeezed his hand tightly, frowning as she replied, “It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. The most important thing right now is figuring out how to get away from these guys.”

The businessmen nearby kept staring at the strange couple, more and more intrigued, especially by Elsa’s curvy figure, which made it hard for them to look away.

“The contract’s signed, so it’s legally binding. If you back out now, your parents won’t be able to cover the costs,” Mariano said.

“It’s just research assistance. You’ll be well–fed and taken care of. What are you worried about? If the lady doesn’t trust us, she’s welcome to check on him anytime. We’ll make her feel right at home,” Lionel added.

“Cut the crap.” Calvin stepped in front of Elsa, clearly angry as he noticed their creepy stares.

But the two businessmen didn’t back down. They still tried to force Calvin to come with them.

Just then, a smooth voice cut through the tension. “Mariano, Lionel, what do you think you’re doing to my employee?” Joseph’s calm voice rang out, with a hint of a smile that made both men freeze.

“Your employee?” Mariano turned to look at Joseph.

He knew the Wilson family had been making a lot of moves recently, especially this young man. Joseph was sharp, charming, and way more mature than his age. He had a perfect, friendly smile, but everyone knew he was even more ruthless than his father.

“Exactly what I said,” Joseph said, walking up and shifting slightly to put some distance between the businessmen and Calvin. He smiled and added, “Let me introduce you properly. This is Calvin. He just joined my family’s research team this morning as an intern.”

“That’s impossible. I just signed him, and his guardian agreed, too!” Lionel shouted. “If you just signed with him, it’s invalid. He’s still a minor.”

“Well, what a coincidence,” Joseph said, still smiling. “I just signed with his guardian as well.”

The two businessmen, now uneasy, quickly pulled out their phones to double–check. They soon found out from their assistant that the Wilson family had already secured Calvin.

The contract that Brent and Laura were so excited about had actually been signed with Joseph.
