The project team members regained hope after thest meeting. They were filled with motivation once


    again.


    Be was a great influencer, captivating her employees with her charms to be her fans.


    Today, Be had a cheerful briefing with the team.


    She said, “Ada has agreed to meet with me tonight. I’m not going to get ahead of myself on the


    oue, but this is the first step in the right direction.”-


    The team members cheered.


    Only Henry sat at the farthest end of the table. Despite his smiling face, he was not the least bit happy.


    “We breached the contract, but I believe Ada is the type to

    understand. I’m confident that my proposal is more impressive than the Salvadors’. Once she takes a


    look at it, she will be more satisfied than she was with the first proposal,” Be said with a confident


    smile.


    “Show us, Ms. Thompson!”


    “I want to show you, but after thest incident, I have to be careful. It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just


    troubled times. There are too many eyes on the outside watching us.


    “As the general manager of KS World Hotel, I can’t allow us to fall for the same trick twice. I hope you


    can understand.”


    Understanding where Be wasing from, the group expressed. their hope for Be’s triumphant


    return. They rubbed their palms, waiting to get their hands on the job,


    That evening, Be dined at a restaurant while Steven sorted out


    paperwork in her office.


    Once that was done, Steven dialed a number and left the office.


    The moment he walked out of the office, Henry slipped right in.


    Security was not tight tonight, so he managed to get into Be’s -private space.


    He knew that his every move would be captured by the cameras all around, but he had to do it anyway


    because he was running out of time.


    If he could not get the new proposal tonight, Be might just close the deal with Ada again, and his


    girlfriend would not get her revenge.


    Henry was blinded by love and caught up in his feelings for Xena.


    He wanted to give her everything she wanted. Heck, he was willing to be a criminal for her.


    Henry used the torch function on his phone as he carefully and swiftly searched around Be’s office.


    He was confident that the proposal was in the office.


    Be had not left the hotel, and Steven did not take his bag with him, so the proposal must not be with


    either of them.


    He quickly rummaged through the drawers and cabs, breaking out. in a cold sweat from anxiety.


    Finally, he pulled out the proposal at the bottom of the pile of documents.


    “This is it. Yes!”


    Henry gripped the file, hot with emotions. He mumbled to himself, “I can help you get vengeance,


    Xena. I can finally help you!”


    Click!


    The office’s light suddenly came on.


    Steven barged in with a few bodyguards and encircled Henry.


    Henry was dumbfounded to be surrounded by a human barricade. He froze in awkwardness but


    refused to put down the proposal.


    He knew that he would be discovered sooner orter.


    It just never crossed his mind that it would be so soon.


    The security team formed two rows to give way.


    Dressed in a sleek ck suit, Be rocked her ck stilettos with red bottoms. Her gaze was intense


    when she strutted into the office.


    Hermanding presence rivaled that of a chiefmander.


    Henry shuddered at the sight of Be. He would be lying if he said he was not afraid.


    “Do you know thatmercial theft is ssified as stealing? You can rot in jail and lose everything you


    own just by holding those few pieces of paper.”


    Steven scowled, his eyes flickering coldly. “It’s less than three years. imprisonment and possibly a fine


    for causing massive loss for selling trade secrets. For more severe cases, you can get 3 to 10 years of


    jail time.”
