Max hesitated, eyeing her warily. "What kind of agreement?"


    "We''ll give you more money than what you''re getting paid now. As long as you tell me who hired you." ire said.


    Max hesitated, considering her offer. "How much are you willing to pay me?"


    ire didn''t miss a beat. "I''ll pay you double what the person who hired you is paying."


    Max''s eyes widened. He knew ire was serious, and he could be swayed by the right amount of money. After a moment of silence, he nodded. "Alright, I''ll tell you who orchestrated the whole thing."


    Matthew and ire exchanged a nce, understanding the gravity of the situation. ire turned back to Max. "It''s better if we find a ce to talk about this. Get in the car."


    Max reluctantly agreed and followed them to the car. ire sat in the back seat to keep an eye on Max, while Matthew took the wheel. As they drove, ire leaned forward. "Ok, Max. Who''s behind all this? I''m sure you are not working alone." Max shifted ufortably before finally speaking. "It''s Lisa Thompson."


    ire couldn''t believe what she was hearing. Her brow furrowed in disbelief. "Lisa Thompson? Are you serious?"


    Max nodded, pulling out his phone to show her a text conversation between him and Lisa. "Look for yourself."


    ire took his phone and scanned the messages. It was undeniable. She quickly pulled out her own phone and snapped a photo of the conversation.


    "What are you doing?" Max asked, his voice edged with nervousness.


    ire gave him a stern look. "I pay you, and you stay silent. Understood?"


    Max gulped and nodded. "Alright, fine."


    As they continued driving, ire''s mind raced. Lisa Thompson was thest person she expected to be involved.


    Thest thing on her mind is that Lisa is the one behind this. ire thought it must be Robert or even Eligos turns out it was someone who ruin her marriage life and now wanted to ruin ire life too.


    ire stood with her arms crossed, her brows scrunched in confusion as she looked at Max. "Why did Lisa hired you?" she asked, her tone tinged with frustration. "And why did you move to a different inte café to post information on social media?" Max leaned back in his seat, trying to appear nonchnt. "So, no one could track me," he replied. "It''s much safer this way. I can''t afford to get caught."


    ire sighed, rubbing her temples. "Where''s Lisa?"


    Max shrugged, his expression indifferent. "I don''t know. She hasn''t called me either."


    ire nodded, a silent moment passing between them. She then turned to Max, her demeanor shifting to a more professional tone. "Do you want more money, Max?"


    Max''s ears perked up at the mention of money, and he gave ire his full attention. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, leaning forward.


    ire remained calm, her voice steady. "I mean I''ll triple your payment as long as you do exactly what I say."


    The offer was too tempting for Max to resist. He thought about it for a moment, the prospect of more money outweighing his initial hesitation. "Alright, ire," he said, a grin spreading across his face. "You''ve got yourself a deal."


    As she arrived at her office, she was surprised to see Alexander Harris already seated on the couch. Her secretary came rushing to approach ire and said, "Mr. Harris wanted to see you. I told him you would be here soon." ire nodded, appreciating her secretary''s diligence, and stepped inside the office. "Hello, Alex," she greeted him, taking a seat across from him. "What brings you here?"


    Alex looked up, his expression serious. "I wanted to talk more about that third post from the unknown person."


    ire nodded, understanding his concern. "What about it?"


    "We need the press conference to be held earlier. Ideally today," Alex said, leaning forward.


    ire shook her head. "I can''t do today. I''ve already prepared everything for tomorrow. Changing it now would cause too manyplications."


    Alex sighed heavily. "Fine, but tomorrow needs to go well. We can''t afford any mistakes."


    "Don''t worry," ire reassured him. "We''ve got this. Let''s go over our n and practice our lines. It needs toe out natural and convincing."


    They spent the next hour practicing, repeating their lines until they feltfortable. ire delivered her statements with confidence, while Alex adjusted his tone phrasing to sound more natural.


    "I think I will be the one who talks about your grandfather will."


    Alex frowned. "Why you? He''s, my grandfather."


    "Yes, I know but you don''t sound sad or sound like you miss him when you talk about it. You know that it needs to be natural, right?"


    "Yes, I know that very well. However, it doesn''t make sense if you are the one who talks about my grandfather." Alex said it as a matter of fact.


    ire pursed her lips and scrunched her forehead. "Alex, he may be your grandfather, but you don''t know much about him."


    Alex scoffed and leaned forward. "How can I not know about him when he is my grandfather."


    One day of civil conversation that both parties hoped for rarely urred. Both wanted to rule and dominate, and it is obvious that these people couldn''t be in the same room for more than an hour

    "If you know much about your grandfather just because he is your grandfather; how can''t you not know about him nearly dying?" ire. crossed her arms over her chest, she raised her brows waiting for Alex to answer.


    1-1-"


    "I what, Alex?"


    They stare into each other eyes with so much intensity until Alex looked away and leaned back to the couch.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    "Fine, you will be the one who talk about his will." Alex said in a rather pissed off tone.


    ire smirked slightly. "Ok, it''s settled. Let''s practice once again."


    They practiced again, ensuring every word flowed smoothly and naturally.


    As they practiced, ire''s mind wandered. She had discovered the person behind the mysterious posts but was unsure whether to share this information with Alex. She weighed the pros and cons, wondering if revealing it now would help orplicate things further. Deciding it was best to keep it to herself for now, she focused back


    on the task at hand.


    As they finished, ire stood up. "Ok looks like everything is settled. I will brief my secretary and Matthew about this." She walked towards her desk and ced her bag on the table. "Yeah. I hope tomorrow everything can go as nned." Alex said as she stood up from the couch. "Anyway, do you by chance, have find out the person behind the post?"


    ire turned around as she leaned on her desk. She shrugged. "Sadly, not yet. But I''m still finding whoever the person is. Why are you asking?"


    "Because that person has made my life, mypany and even you miserable. I''m going to sue that person." A look of determination and seriousness crossed Alex feature. ire nodded since she was thinking the same thing as him. ire will not let Lisa Thompson easily out of her grasp.


    She will make her pay, in her own way.
