Bryson scoffed, I didnt even have to scheme against him. He foolishly invested in several failing projects. It wouldnt have mattered if he lost only a billion. Recently, hes been traveling to various places with his fiancee, misusing company funds. And now, with this biopharmaceutical project, hes hemorrhaging money. No amount of capital will keep it afloat.
It was clear from Brysons detailed knowledge that his previous claims of disassociation with the company were deceptive.
Hannah shook her head at Bryson. Mr. Mitchell, you clearly have a bone to pick. I cant discern the truth in your statements.
Bryson responded with sincerity, You can trust that I mean you no harm, regardless of whether you believe me or not.
He left swiftly after his declaration, casting a long look at Hannah before departing.

Hannah remained still, watching him leave with mixed feelings.
After the argument had evidently subsided, Maloney stepped out from the balcony, asking, Have you two finished arguing?
Taking a moment to compose herself, Hannah replied, Lets return to our accommodation for now. Well continue this discussion tomorrow.
The next morning, Hannah was jolted awake by aggressive knocking at her door, the sound echoing like a death knell in her ears.

She continued, Yesterday, I reached out to the two companies were looking to partner with. Theyre open to further discussions with us.
Maloney looked doubtful, questioning the terms of the potential partnerships. What terms did you propose? Are we going to sacrifice more profits than our competitor?
Resting against the doorframe, Hannah dismissed his concerns with a wave. The strategy I used is confidential and not for external ears. If theres nothing more, Im going back to bed. Please, no more interruptions.
With that, she slammed the door shut.
Maloney and Dotson exchanged looks. Touching his nose thoughtfully, Maloney mused, Am I considered an outsider as well? After all, I am Hannahs supposed fiance, arent I?
Dotson inhaled sharply and stepped back, clasping his throat as a warning. Mr. Pierce, discussing this in front of my boss could lead to a dire outcome.
Are you implying a more horrific death awaits? Maloney questioned, his smile beaming. Fear not, your boss wouldnt dream of harming me.
Dotsons lips twitched in response. You ought to be grateful this civilized society has spared you.
Amidst this brief exchange of banter, the Mitchell Group was facing turmoil.
