Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

"No, no, the big boss doesn't want everyone to love him. He just wants the person he loves to love him back."

As I left the company, Xander's words echoed in my ears.

I found myself wondering what this boss looked like.

Another strange thing was that the company's records had no information about this big boss. Could it be that he had something to hide?

Or maybe, like in those CEO novels, he kept an extremely low profile, to the point of not taking photos or leaving any trace of himself online? As I drove to Glorious, the shop that sold all the antiques, I kept pondering about this mysterious boss.

After parking, I didn't get out immediately. Instead, I called Brandon.

He didn't pick up; he was probably busy. So I left him a message on WhatsApp. "Can you come to the Gildon estate with me tonight?" Since he didn't answer the phone, I didn't expect a quick reply to the message either. After sending it, I put my phone away and went into Glorious. "Ms. Crown, you're here," the owner greeted me warmly as soon as I entered.
