Veiled behind a mask, Hannah met Caleb’s gaze.
A compatible match to his boss, she exuded an imposing aura that Caleb couldn’t bring himself to confront.
Subconsciously averting his eyes from Hannah, Caleb turned his cold stare back to Henry, stating, “We have a surveillance monitor here.

Henry quivered, aware of the omnipresent surveillance and the impossibility of Hannah having cheated.
He clung to disbelief that she had beat him though. Shocked and terrified, the pain in his shoulder threatened to overwhelm him.

Before Hannah could interject, Caleb, positioned beside her, spoke assertively.
“We maintain a template for the share transfer contract year-round. We can arrange for it to be printed. After all, Mr Phillips isn’t the sole individual transferring shares in the casino.
Henry contemplated finding a pretext for refusal but Caleb interjected, “Mr. Phillips, breaking your promise would mean your father learning tomorrow about the six-billion loss in the casino.”
Gradually shutting his mouth, the agony contorting Henry’s face elicited twitches as he yielded.
“You… go to prepare the contract!”
