The security guard sneered and gave her a lazy once–over. “Another one of the boss’s girls, huh? He’s not in. Come back later.”

Mason’s voice cut through the air, cold and sharp. “What did you just say to her?”

“Forget him.”

Dawn’s tone was calm, almost bored. She barely looked at the man before pulling out her phone and calling Marshall.

He answered right away, his voice syrupy with charm. “I sent a car for you earlier, but the front desk told me you’d already left. Were you out sightseeing?”

“Come out.”

Dawn’s patience snapped like glass. “I’m standing at your front gate.”

The line went silent. Then the call ended.

Minutes later, Marshall stormed out of the building, fury painted across his face. He spotted the guard and started shouting. “Do you even know who this is? She’s the daughter of the group’s founder! You let Ms. Dawn stand outside like some stranger? If you hate this job that much, quit now!”

Dawn watched him quietly until he finished yelling. Her voice was level and cool. “He’s right about one thing. You should leave.”

Both men froze.

Marshall’s tone shifted instantly, his voice sugarcoated.

“Ms. Dawn, please. It’s hard for people like him to find work. I’ve already punished him. It won’t happen again. Could we give him another chance?”

The guard’s face turned pale. “Ms. Dawn, I didn’t know who you were. Please, forgive me this once. It won’t happen again, I swear!”

Dawn’s eyes hardened. “If I were a client instead of me, what would you have done?”

Her voice dropped lower, colder. “I don’t want him here tomorrow.”

She turned and walked into the building without another glance.

Marshall stood still, his pale green eyes dark with something unreadable.

“B–Boss?” the guard stammered.

“Get lost.”

Marshall’s voice was a growl. He kicked the guard, sending him crashing to the ground. “Worthless idiot! You can’t even recognize who’s standing in front of you!”

It wasn’t about the guard anymore.

Dawn had done that to put him in his place.

Marshall’s jaw tightened, a flicker of amusement in his eyes.

He gave a low laugh, straightened his jacket, and followed her inside.

Docile girls were never as fun as feisty ones.

Dawn might not have held official power, but her name was enough. The moment she walked in, Marshall ordered the staff to prepare the top office for her. Every document, ledger, and report was delivered to her desk within the hour.

“Ms. Dawn, here are all the records and financial statements.”

Dawn said nothing. She began flipping through the files, her movements steady and precise.

The papers looked clean and well–organized, but the deeper she read, the tighter her frown became.

“You’ve reviewed these reports yourselves? The numbers don’t add up at all.”

The file landed on the desk with a sharp smack that silenced the room.

Everyone except Marshall flinched.

He sat there, composed and unreadable, not a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Dawn studied him for a long moment before speaking. Her tone was steady, but her words cu deep. “Mr. Marshall, I believe I deserve an explanation.”

“Ms. Dawn, there is nothing to explain.” Marshall spread his hands in mock helplessness. “The factory’s been shut down for weeks because of the strike. Production stopped completely. We’re still paying bills, and that’s where the losses come from.”

He wasn’t entirely wrong.

A business that size bled money every day it stood still.

With nothing coming in, every expense hit twice as hard.

“So you’re telling me every other department is running at a loss too?” Dawn gave a short, cold laugh. “If I’m not mistaken, we also have an auto parts division. What happened to that? Did it go bankrupt overnight?”

Something flickered in Marshall’s eyes. He stayed silent.

He clearly hadn’t expected her to know the company’s operations that well.

“If you do not have an answer,” Dawn said coolly, “then bring me the sales reports. I’ll review them myself.”

Her voice was sharp and clear, carrying an authority that made everyone in the room stiffen unconsciously.

The assistant by the door jumped in alarm. “Y–Yes, Ms. Dawn. Right away, I’ll—”

“No, stop right there!”

Marshall’s voice cracked through the air like a slap. The assistant froze midstep.

The silence that followed was heavy and tense.

Dawn looked up, a faint, almost amused smile on her lips. “What’s wrong, Mr. Marshall? You don’t want me to see them?”

“Of course that’s not it.” Marshall forced a chuckle, but his voice came out tight you came here to handle the strike. Everything else can wait. Let’s not get

Not a single person in the room bought that excuse.

Dawn stayed quiet for a moment. Her pale fingers tapped softly against the desk, the rhythm echoing through the stillness.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mason give a small shake of his head. He was warning her to stay calm.

So, that was how things were going to be here in Ithelia.

start with the factory situation.”

Just then, footsteps pounded down the hall.

“Emergency! The factory’s on fire!” someone shouted, the words shattering the air.

The entire room erupted into panic.

Dawn was already on her feet, following Mason out the door and into the car. As they sped through the streets, Mason leaned closer, his voice low. “Ms. Dawn, first the hotel last night, and now the factory. This can’t just be coincidence.”
