“Didn't you already succeed? Why are you still training?” Francesca yawned and rubbed her eyes tiredly.

“The corporate war is a battle of stamina. Collapsing after a short while means that I'm admitting defeat. Even if I'm confined to a wheelchair, I need to maintain an elegant sitting posture,” Zachary replied while gritting his teeth.

“Have you lost your mind? I don't!” Francesca's face turned bright red. “Stop spouting nonsense, or I'll beat you up!”
