He sat down quietly in the corner of the office, the city skyline burning faint gold behind the tinted glass. Papers are stacked neatly in front of him, but he's focus is nowhere near them. His fingers tap slowly against the polished wood, steady, calculated—just like every move you've made to build this empire.
It's his company. His rules.
But right now, He's distracted again.
He lean back, loosening his tie just a little. People outside the office probably still think he's buried in reports or closing another million-peso deal. If only they knew his mind was wandering—to her.
He was busy with his work when someone entered the room—he didn't even bother to look up, but he knew that voice. He knew the steps, the tone, the presence he'd tried so hard to forget. Still, even as he kept his eyes on the papers, but he frowned slightly, the crease between his brows deepening.
"sir" tawag ng natatakot na employee.
Without even looking up from the employee, he said flatly.
"I'm done wasting my time on incompetence. You're out. Now."
"But sir, I did everything you asked—"
He raised a brow.
"Clearly not well enough,
I built this business without mercy. Don't expect any now leave now! "
And just like that, he went back to work—as if ruining someone's day was just part of his routine.
He clench his jaw after firing someone.
His phone buzzed. Someone was calling, but he didn't hesitate to pick it up and he stood up and walked out of the office.
