Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Remington was sitting in the lounge area with the chairman of the Bright Group, finalizing the last of the contracts for their joint development project.

The man looked up upon hearing the words, his handsome features expressionless but his gaze icy. It was as if he was saying, “Give me a good reason, or you’re out.”

Remington had thrown up that morning and hadn’t had much of an appetite all day. Hungry and having fought with his wife, the CEO was more than a little terrifying.

Cedric felt a shiver run down his spine as he quickly approached, leaning in to whisper to Remington.
