"Yeah," Ss nodded.


    Fagan nced at Ss, surprised.


    Mr. Myers had always remarked about how the youngest Lynch boy was smart - but a bit too green. Fagan couldn''t quite figure out what had made ?s change his mind so suddenly.


    But that wasn''t really important. Seeing Mr. Myers in a good mood today, it seemed like Wynton was in for some luck.


    "Got it, I''ll handle it right away."


    Fagan nodded and was about to leave when the office door swung open unexpectedly.


    The secretary behind him looked flustered, repeatedly apologizing to Ss.


    "Mr. Myers, I''m so sorry. Ms. Lisette Jewell insisted oning in. She said she has something important


    to discuss with you, and I couldn''t stop her!"


    Fagan nced back and then looked over at Ss.


    "You all can leave us."


    Ss nodded slightly at Fagan. He waited for the room to clear before he looked up at Lisette, who was wearing a rather revealing dress.


    She had clearly dressed to impress, with a neckline that left little to the imagination. She even tossed her hair back in a flirtatious gesture.


    "Mr. Myers, sorry to interrupt, but I have something important to discuss with you."


    "You know you''re interrupting, and you know you''re sorry?" Ss looked at her, his gaze icy. There was an undercurrent of something dangerous in his eyes.


    Lisette smiled faintly, unfazed. "I''m here to talk about Calliope. I know she''s been a thorn in your side for quite some time, hasn''t she? She''s got something over you, right?


    I''m here to help you. I understand she''s holding something over you, and you''re forced toply. That must be infuriating. I have a way to help you deal with that nuisance."


    Lisette settled into the chair opposite Ss, leaning forward to entuate her plump figure.


    She was quite pleased with her own body, all curves and confidence. She''d had a little work done on her face too, and while it might not be the natural beauty that Calliope had, plenty of men preferred her style. She was confident that Ss would be more interested in her.


    After all, what was Calliope? She was useless and naive,cking Lisette''s capabilities and education. Lisette had made quite a name for herself at the Jewell Group, while Calliope couldn''t even get her foot in the door.


    For someone like Ss, the woman by his side had to have some substance; he couldn''t afford to be embarrassed by her in public.


    Ss let out a scorn. "Who said I was forced toply?"


    "I guessed it." Lisette leaned in closer, reaching for Ss''s hand.


    Ss subtly leaned back, avoiding her touch.


    Lisette didn''t mind. She suddenly stood up and leaned even closer. "Mr. Myers, Calliope isn''t right for you. Don''t you see that I''m much better? Calliope can''t bring you any tangible benefits, but I can. I''m more capable than she is!"


    Her gaze was sharp as she stared at Ss, even though his presence was intimidating, she held her ground.


    She curled her lips into a smile. "Mr. Myers, you could easily kick Calliope to the curb. You''ve already


    done her a favor, it''s time to call it even. If she''s got something on you, I can help you deal with that too." Ss remained silent, looking at her with cold indifference.


    There was a slight curve to his lips, but his smile wasced with a chill.
