It was 2:30 pm.

Thei

fast food had been on the table for almost lalf an hour. As Mikayla raised her head from the pile of documents

and saw the lunch box, she only realized she hadn't diten yet.

Beep!

A notification popped up on her computer just as she was about to open her lunch. She quickly clicked on the

flashing icon.

Spring TRejuvenation: [Dear, you looking for me?]

Cake Topping: [Yeah.] An eye-rolling emoji was added.

"Spring TimeRejuvenation" was Maxius Lark, Mikayla's senior from when she studied abroad. He had a laid-back

way of speaking, but he was incredibly dependable. People who didn't know him well might think he had a crush

on everyone, but that was just his way.

Spring TimeRejuvenation: (Givetwo minutes...]

Mikayla frowned. She had met Maxius by chance during her studies, but they mainly kept in touch online and

rarely saw each other im person, for she used to worry that Jaxon might misunderstand their relationship. It was

midnight in Maxius's tzone, and she figured he had just woken up. The two mintites were probably for

freshening up.

There were only computers in Maxius' life. He had been single for many years. He'd been single for years, and

many thought he'd end up spending his life with his computer. People often described him as mild on the outside

but wild within.

Mikayla's proposal had actually been inspired by Maxius. He had once talked about starting an intecompany

back in Xueror but lacked the funds. At the time, Mikayla had considered investing in him. Now, she wondered, 'If

he finds out I used his idea, will he be mad

Spring TimeRejuvenation: [Babe, I'm back!] A kiss-blowing emoji was attached.

Cake Topping: [Would you like to helpin Xucror?]

Mikayla had grown used to Maxius' playful teasing. It didn't bother her, and she saw no need to correct him.

Spring TimeRejuvenation: [Okay!]

Mikayla was a bit surprised by how quickly Maxius agreed.

Cake Topping: [When is the earliest you can cback? I'll send you the location.] With that, Mikayla picked up

her phone. found Maxius' number, located Prairie Hotel in Xosa, and sent it over Spring TimeRejuvenation:

[Okay, got it! Since you missso much, I'll be in Xosa early tomorrow morning.]

Cake Topping: [I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow.]

Spring TimeRejuvenation: [Can't wait to see my babe! Looking forward to it!] An emoji with heart-shaped eyes

the text.

Knock!

"Cin!" Mikayla quit the chat and looked up to see Quinnlyn enter with another stack of documents. It

seemed the papers Garrett had given her earlier were just the beginning.

"Ms. Salvatore, the board of directors wants to see you upstairs, Quinnlyn informed her.

"Okay" Mikayla knew this was inevitable but was surprised they called for her so soon. Chapter 21

"Ms. Salvatore, you haven't eaten yet. How about | heat up your lunch before you go?" Quinnlyn asked, noticing

the cold fast food.

"No, thanks. Just take the documents and lead the way," Mikayla instructed.

Quinnlyn led Mikayla to the conference room. Mikayla knocked politely before pushing the door open. Inside, six

shareholders, including Jorge, were seated. Sminority shareholders hadn't shown up. As Mikayla entered,

everyone. looked at her with smug expressions. If it weren't for Jorge's presence, they would have openly

mocked her.

"Mr. Salvatore, | don't mean to be harsh. We're fine with your daughter joining the company, but she's causing

such a commotion. This is a business, not a playground!" The speaker was Shawn, the second- largest

shareholder with 15 percent of the company shares. He looked smug, his eyes full of disdain.

Mikayla knew why Shawn was so aggressive. He had tried to get his daughter a cushy job, but Jorge refused.

Plus, Shawn's brother-in-law, Evan, would have naturally becthe director of the marketing department if

Mikayla hadn't joined. But after she arrived, the department was split, and Evan was actually demoted. This

move embarrassed Shawn, and Mikayla knew Jorge wanted to curb his arrogance.

Mikayla glanced at the documents in front of each person and smiled. "Mr. Salvatore, and everyone, you're all

aware of this project. I've prepared a detailed report and I'd like to explain it so you can better understand our

direction. With that, she bowed respectfully.

"We're a bunch of old men, and we don't get this stuff and we don't want to hear it!" Shawn said,

condescendingly.

"Then, I'll tell you something you do want to hear. Mikayla set the folder aside.
