The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped after Callie made the offer.
In the office were Amber, Acela, Callie’s two bodyguards, a few other New Chesire Group bodyguards, and a business manager. Everyone in the office and the hallway outside the office was dead silent.
Those who heard Callie’s offer, including the security guards, knew how crazy that was. If Amber accepted the offer and became the new owner of Callie Group, the merger of the New Chesire Group and the Callie Group would be on the front page of the local and international news.
The northern, domestic, Ol‘ Mare, and Zabaleta businesses would be impacted. It would be nothing short of a major economic storm that would shake the industries in which the two companies were involved.

They were likely to witness a historic moment when two women traded tens of billions of dollars in assets for a mysterious man who married into a wealthy family.
Amber calmed down after a moment of shock. “I disagree.”
She slowly got up from her office swivel chair and looked firmly at Callie. She showed no hesitation or fear. “Alexander is my husband, my daughter’s father.

“What a crowd we have here. It’s so busy in the office today.”
A familiar young man’s voice cfrom the end of the corridor, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. The smell of gunpowder in the air dissipated.
It was none other than Alexander.
“Alexander!” Callie was startled the moment Alexander appeared. She immediately got up from the sofa. Her eyes swept through the crowd and down the hallway to the approaching figure, tears welling in her eyes.
Although Callie had not seen Alexander in six years, she recognized him immediately. His appearance, his voice, his relaxed smile, his confidence;.everything about him.
It was him, it had to be him, the Alexander whom she missed. The man she was engaged to. “Alexander? Do you recognize me?”
