Ariana felt a lump form in her throat, her hands trembling as she clutched her tableware.

Her heart raced with nervousness, unsure of what Darian was going to suggest. Ariana had learned about the Anderson Group from Jasper, and she knew that it was one of the most prominent companies in the hotel industry in Eleymond. The group had almost a monopoly on high-end hotels in the city, making it an incredibly successful business.

However, after Darian’s father passed away and he took over, the company started to experience a downturn.

It was on the verge of bankruptcy before Theodore intervened, taking over the company and implementing sweeping reforms to revive its fortunes. Under his guidance, the Anderson Group even opened a subsidiary in the entertainment industry, which proved to be a smart move.
