Chapter 157



"No, no, the big boss doesn't need everyone's love. He just wants the love of those he cares about, and that's enough for him." As I left the office, Grant's words echoed in my mind. For some reason, I found myself curious about what this boss looked like. Another odd thing was that there was absolutely no information about the big boss in the company files.

Was there something secretive about him? Or was he like one of those mysterious tycoons from novels, so low-profile that he avoided photos and publicity at all costs?

Driving to QuillQuest Supplies, a quaint shop known for its selection of fine arts and writing materials, I couldn't stop pondering about the boss.

I didn't get out of the car immediately upon arriving but instead called Ernest. No answer. Figuring he was busy, I dropped him a message. "How about joining me at the Wagner family gathering tonight, if you're free?"

Knowing he probably wouldn't respond right away, I pocketed my phone and made my way into QuillQuest Supplies.

"Ms. Hudson, welcome back," the shopkeeper greeted me warmly as I entered.
