The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1386

Dane knew Presley had someone powerful backing him, but he hadn't expected anyone who could even make the Shepherd family take notice. No wonder Mr. Boyd had been pressured into handing over control not too long ago.

With a firm grip on the incense box, Dane turned to Presley. "Alright, I'll give it a shot."

Dane nodded, his respect growing. "You're right, Mr. President."

At the mention of 'President,' Presley raised an eyebrow but coughed slightly, trying to maintain a serious demeanor. "Let's just keep that as a joke for now."

After checking the time, Presley stood up from the couch. "Is there anything else you need?"

Dane quickly got to his feet. "No, that's it. I won't take up any more of your time." Presley waved him off, indeed having things to do outside.
