Blake didn’t care why Natalie was here. She had to get cut of here, fast. The Phoenix Syndicate was almost here Carl was stunned when he saw Natalie, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Blake shot him a lank, then turned to Natalie, Nooking super awkward.

“Natalie… I swear, I didn’t mean it. I had no idea the Phoenix Syndicate was yours. If I’d known, I never would’ve messed with you!”

Natalie smirked at him, “So, what was your big plan, Blake?”

What was I even planning?’ Blake wondered, feeling lost.

Blake pressed his lips together. He’d wanted to surprise Natalie. Take over the Phoenix Syndicate and hand it to her with a bang, so she’d see just how awesome he was, and know that from now on, no one in Plarbor City would dare mess with her. But instead, the “surprise” he’d spent so long plotting ended up slapping him right across the face.

He’d stolen Natalie’s goods, hurt her people, and even called her out for a negotiation

All those big plans he’d been cooking up in his office now just looked like a total joke. He couldn’t let his brothers find out about this, especially Jason and Ryan.

If they did, his whole reputation would be ruined. They’d laugh their heads off at him.

“… I just wanted to take over the Phoenix Syndicate and hand it to you, but…” Blake couldn’t even finish the sentence, his face burning with embarrassment.

“I really messed up, Natalie. I’ll have Carl personally deliver the goods on time, and I’ll make sure your guys are compensated generously for what happened.”

Natalie had never seen Blake, who was always so arrogant and dignified, act like this before. She couldn’t help but stare at him a little longer.
