Rewriting My Heart's Fate

I quickly followed Ethan into the backseat after the car door was opened.

The engine roared to life, and the car sped off, heading toward our destination-the Grayson Group's branch office in Englenor.

"Welcome, Mr. Grayson, Ms. Wiley!" A tall, handsome man greeted us with a cheerful voice as we entered the Lendora branch office.

"Hello, I'm Charles Hopkins, the head of the Lendora branch." He extended his hand warmly and shook hands with Ethan in a friendly manner. "Welcome once again! I'm sure you'll both love it here!" Charles had a charming appearance and exuded an elegant demeanor. He spoke in a polished Lendora accent that felt refreshingly pleasant.

From what Ethan had told me, Charles came from a royal aristocracy and had received the finest education from a young age. He studied business at Barnett University and graduated top of his class. After graduation, he leveraged his exceptional business acumen and family connections to establish a successful career in Lendora. Now, he had been handpicked by Ethan to oversee the branch's operations. "Charles, it's been a while." Ethan nodded at him. "We're here mainly to assess the initial operations of the branch and also to find a suitable place for Evelyn."

At this, Charles shifted his gaze to me. For a moment, he froze.

It took him a beat to snap back into reality, but when he did, he flashed a broad smile. "No problem, Mr. Grayson. You can count on us! I've prepared the most lavish office for both of you. I'm sure you'll be impressed." With that, he gestured for us to follow him as he led us into the main hall.
