In the Skrk,


    Ean was breathing long and deep to remain cool. He couldn''t believe that as soon as thepany started in Narnia, their first task was to regte the news about the Matthews family, thanks to Alvin Matthews.


    As the founder and president of thepany with ultimate power, thepany was supposed to handle the public news and image of Alvin too. However, their whole work had turned into serving the Matthews family matter instead of working towards the goal of thepany.


    Nheless, the work was going smoothly. Skrk might be a newpany in Narnia, and Ean and Alvin might be considered noobs in Narnia''s business industries. People were also rooting that Skrk would fail miserably for starting grand, assuming they didn''t have proper infrastructure. However, only on closer look, people could see neither Ean nor the management was naive.


    Alvin had gathered all his employees from different branches of his museums and auction center to work as a team. They were much experienced and experts at dealing with the issues. Other than Narnia being a new ce, the management was able to fluently deal with the mediapany as per the instructions.


    Instead of headlines like Alvin Matthews is an illegitimate son, Skrk had managed to frame the news headlines to Casper''s secret affair after marriage, and Gianna Sallow''s hatred towards her stepson.


    Well, Skrk was able to easily achieve it because of Anya''s move synchronizing with the first court trial. That is Matthews Industries waspletely shut down withouting in contact with the media or anyone outside thepany.


    If not, there would have been a big battle between Skrk and Matthews Industries to twist the truth in their favor.


    Thus the negative news was spreading about the Matthews family whereas Alvin was earningpassion and also praise for rising through the difficulty.


    Theizens, paparazzi, and media started to dig for the truth rted to Alvin and his growth. By the afternoon, without any proof,izens easily made up the story that Alvin left the country without a penny because of Gianna. The post attracted the former employee who was working at Alvin''s first start-up.


    Hisment clearly stated the startup was doing good but the Matthews family withdrew the investment. By pressuring Alvin and forcing him to get married to Flora Dalton, Alvin had to give up thepany and leave the country. Hence it attracted more hatred toward the Matthews family.


    Ean breathed out looking at the situation. Thepetitors of Skrk would use this in theing days, but he shifted his focus to the museum project they had in hand.


    He was going towards his office when his eyesnded on Alvin and Rob entering their new office for the first time. He went to drop a visit to his friend and annoying superior who leaves all the work on him.


    With a knock on the door, he pushed the door open to see Alvin crossing his arms and looking at the interior. The room was vast and spacious. The two walls were ss walls giving a spectacr view of the city.


    One of the walls had organized shelves with ck tinted ss closures. Each block had either some books or a replica of an artifact. On closer look, one could see the safety lockers, and some drawers in them.


    In the center of the hall, there was a circr modern chandelier on the ceiling. Below it was a ck leather chair with a uniquely desired off-white desk. Opposite it was the couch and center table. There were green nts in the corner to soothe the eyes among the ck and white hues of the interior.


    Ean proudly smiled at his achievement. The building was bought by a differentpany while it was in the building stage but Ean had managed to crack a deal and own the whole building.


    Ean almost gasped when he met Alvin''s sharpened gaze on him. He immediately confessed, "It was your wife." He wasn''t going to get med for it.


    Alvin usually prefers ck or wooden-themed interiors. That gives more of a noble yet mysterious vibe. Compared to it, the room looked much brighter and more modern.


    Ean was baffled when Alvin''s expression softened. If he had selected that design, Alvin would have left the room asking him to remake his office. "Hey, get angry at your wife. She is controlling you." He didn''t really mean it.


    Rob nced at Ean and rolled his eyes. He knew well why Alvin was skeptical to use the office immediately. He went inside and picked up a remote on the desk and pressed the button on it. The circr center of the office started to rotate.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Ean''s jaws dropped looking at the rotating surface. He had seen quite a share of the modern technology but he hadn''t expected something like that in Alvin''s office. He had thought the circr center was just a design.


    Rob clicked the stop button on the remote. The chair that was against the ss wall was paused in front of the cupboard wall. The couch was shifted to words on the ss wall.


    Rob studied the room that had been designed in a way, it would be difficult to bug the room. Sitting arraignments could be changed as per Alvin''s requirement.


    Alvin went ahead and stomped on the barely recognizable section on the floor. The trio witnessed something pop out of the floor and Alvin caught a toy gun.


    Ean eximed as he went closer to Alvin, "Woah, your wife has done her studies on you. Does she know you have a handgun license?" Alvin had a licensed handgun due to their working industries.


    Alvin tossed the stic gun to Rob as he spoke, "She has researched the dangers of our business." Antique dealing was the most profitable yet riskiest field due to rare and inexpensive items.


    Alvin discerned why Anya wanted to visit him at thepany. To exin to him all the features of the room. These features weren''t possible if they used wooden architecture.


    Ean shrugged. He just cared about the business as Alvin and Rob always handled the riskiest task. "Rob, keep an eye on the media and PR department." He turned to Alvin who still couldn''t get the feel of the office. "Alvin, you better join the conference. I will be heading to the department of arts and culture." He left without waiting for a response.


    Rob, who was inspecting the room, paused in front of the wall of cupboards. Contemting for a few seconds, he pushed the block and it acted as a wall to the next room. That was Rob''s office room. Rob and Alvin looked at each other. If they take action after the trouble, Anya had considered the worst scenario right at the beginning.


    When Alvin was busy on a business trip, she was busy designing his and Rob''s office. Alvin started considering if Anya was afraid that her job would affect him.


    Although the thought of redesigning the elegant room into a mysterious dark room came to his mind, Alvin decided to speak with Anya first.


    Rob went to his office to get ustomed to working in a new ce and Alvin got to work. It wasn''t long when Rob rushed into the office and revealed, "Bo- President Matthews, Young Madam is at Matthews Industries."


    Alvin furrowed when he heard Rob. Nobody was pulling her name in the media. With Anya''s appearance at thepany, people would start suspecting Anya had a hand in the attack or worse, she was using her connection to attack the Matthews Industries.


    What was she up to? He had specifically told her not to meet Casper.


    Alvin stood up to leave the office but Rob reminded him, "The conference starts in five minutes." Importantly, if Anya had a motive behind her appearance at the Matthews industries, Alvin wouldn''t be able to stop her and Alvin would waste time on the road.


    Cursing the timings, Alvin could only grab his mobile to dial Anya''s number. He didn''t care if everyone mes him for anything. He didn''t want her to suffer due to the Matthews family.


    [Alvin?] Anya''s calm voice sounded.


    Alvin asked right after Anya uttered his name, "Little Donut, why are you at Matthews headquarters?" There was little relief in his tone as her mobile wasn''t confiscated yet.


    Anya''s voice had uncertainty with a hint of confusion when she responded, [Alvin. I''m summoned for interrogation.] There was a pause before she continued in a lower voice, [I think Casper Matthews is implicating me in something serious.] Or else those officers wouldn''t have called her for questioning on such short notice.
