Though she was a year his senior, she was so sheltered, thanks to Peter and Lina’s overprotective parenting. Laura wasn’t acquainted with the nuances of household chores, nor was she keen on mingling in social circles.
She exuded an innocent naivete he rarely encountered, reminding him of someone he couldn’t quite place.
Smoothing out his suit, Edwin made his exit.
Once inside the car, Tina shot him a knowing look, noticing the tousled state of his hair.

It was obvious they had a quick session before he left.
Tina remarked, “Miss Thomas is truly captivating. She’s not at all how I pictured her.”
Diving into the acquisition details, Edwin’s attention momentarily wavered as he questioned, “How did you picture her, then?”
Wearing a knowing smile, Tina responded, “Given Miss Thomas‘ intricate and I her as modern and vintage-styled designs, pegged edgy. But in person, she’s delicate; reminds me of a gentle creature that just tugs at your heart.”
Edwin gave a half-laugh, signaling Tina to tread lightly with her words.
Being the perceptive woman she was, she swiftly shifted gears, diving into work chatter.
As the clock struck eleven, Edwin’s latest achievement became the talk of the town. At 26, he had risen to the top, becoming the primary shareholder of the Lewis Group.
A massive 12 billion dollar asset shuffle put him in the spotlight.
Over the next couple of years, he had big plans to revamp the Lewis Group and reintroduce it to the market.
That evening, the Lewis Group threw a grand party in honor of this significant milestone.
Edwin, with his newfound status, was the center of attention.
High-profile celebrities and socialites gravitated towards him, but he maintained his distance, always having an eye for the finer things.
When Edwin’s phone buzzed, Mark’s name flashed on the screen.
Edwin greeted him with a grin.
After exchanging a few words, he shared some of his ambitious plans.
Mark, usually hard to impress, genuinely admired Edwin’s assertive tactics.
“It’s only chapter one,” Edwin remarked, an air of nonchalance in his voice.
Once the call ended, Tina approached with an update.
“Mr. Evans, your appointments for the day are wrapped up. You deserve some rest after today’s whirlwind.”
Feeling the weight of the day on his shoulders, Edwin handed Tina his drink and loosened his tie.
