Michelle quickly tidied up her desk and touched up her makeup. her heart racing as she approached Marcus‘ office. She knocked lightly on the door.
“Come in!” Marcus‘ voice called from inside.
Taking a deep breath, Michelle pushed the door open and stepped inside. Marcus was engrossed in reviewing documents, and the focus he exuded added a unique charm to his presence.
“You’re here already?” he remarked, glancing up from his work.
Michelle felt a flutter of nerves as his eyes roamed over her. Today, there was something about her outfit that seemed to accentuate her chest more than usual.
The buttons of her white blouse were straining against her, and she could feel the heat rising in her cheeks.
“I didn’t want you to wait too long, so I came right over,” Michelle replied, feeling increasingly uneasy under his intense
gaze.
“Come here.” Marcus beckoned, his voice low and inviting..

“You’re not planning to do something… Well, you know, something inappropriate, are you? I mean, I wouldn’t refuse you, but I feel like we should get to know each other better first. What if you find out something about me that you don’t like?”
She fiddled with the hem of her shirt, her voice soft and almost playing the coquetry.
“Uh…” Marcus realized she had misunderstood his intentions.
“I call you to give me a shoulder rub. Where did your mind. wander off to?”
Feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over her, Michelle. blushed. “Oh… I see now. I’m sorry, Marcus, I totally overthought that.”
As she moved behind him to start massaging his shoulders, a hint of disappointment lingered in her heart.

After a moment of silence, Marcus spoke up again, “Actually, I do call you for something important.”
“What is it? I’m all ears,” Michelle replied, her curiosity piqued.

Marcus answered casually, “I killed him.”
Though the reality of the situation seemed surreal, Michellet chose to believe Marcus.
She continued, “He was one of the people who drove my father to his death. By killing him, you’ve avenged me. The other person is Brandon Davis, known to the world as Mr. Davis.”
“Brandon holds an additional 25% of the shares in the Golden. Group and is known for his formidable power. In his youth, he was dubbed the number–one fighter in Solomia. There are rumors that he has intricate connections with an Ancient
Martial Art Seel.”
