After leaving Victor Quinn’s place, Xylia made her way to several more companies, paying each a visit in turn.

She repeated the same strategy and used the exact same pitch to end their partnerships, just as she’d done

before.

‘So they think they can flex their authority? Lucky for me, I’ve got some pull of my own now! Xylia mused.

If they’re going after my boyfriend, then it’s only fair I hit them right back, she decided.

After taking care of her business, Xylia picked up some takeout from a nearby restaurant and headed straight towards Garcia Group.

Today, instead of using the executive elevator reserved for Joshua, Xylia chose to ride the one meant for employees.

Standing quietly in the corner, she caught snippets of a few Garcia Group employees whispering amongst themselves.

“Ford Group used to be nowhere near our level. Seriously, what’s gotten into Mr. Ford lately? He’s telling everyone in the business to cut us off,” one employee whispered.

“For real! He used to chase after our CEO for a partnership, and now he’s suddenly playing hardball and wants. to go head–to–head,” another added.

“Honestly, I didn’t think it was a huge deal, but the CEO totally snapped over this yesterday. Our manager’s been on edge ever since, and several contracts have already fallen through. The tension in the department is unreal,” a third chimed in.

“Guess we just gotta lay low at work and hope the company can hold on. I really don’t wanna have to start job hunting, someone else muttered.

‘Wow, these Garcia Group employees are really glued to the company, Xylia thought, a little amused by how attached everyone seemed.

When the elevator finally stopped at the top floor, Xylia stepped off, unfazed, and strolled straight toward Joshua’s office.

When she walked in, she found Joshua sitting at his desk, totally lost in his own gaming world instead of doing any real work.

Xylia stood in the doorway, hearing the sounds of battle–gunshots firing, music blaring with adrenaline- and seriously wondered if she was dreaming.

‘Shouldn’t Joshua be freaking out right now? The company’s totally under fire, she thought, still in disbelief.

She stared at the guy at the desk, gaming away like a little kid, grinning like he just beat the final boss. ‘Who is this person, really?‘ she wondered.

As soon as Joshua saw Xylia walk in, he instantly closed out of his game–didn’t even blink at his teammates getting left behind–and hurried over.

“You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting ages for you,” Joshua said, grinning from ear to ear.

He took the takeout from Xylia’s hands, wrapped her into a hug, and buried his face in her neck, breathing her in deep. Looking thoroughly satisfied, he gently took her by the hand and led her to the couch.
