Jyn was stopped right as she stepped out of the elevator.
"Who are you? I see that you're heading toward the CEO's office. Do you have an appointment?"
Jyn was stunned as the new assistant blocked her way.
She smiled with a dash of disbelief.
It used to be her own office just a few days ago, but she now needed an appointment to enter. It just went to show that really anything could happen in life at any given moment.
The reality was that the office no longer belonged to her.
Jyn smiled. "Sorry to trouble you, but please tell your boss that his friend, Jyn, is here for a visit."
"Huh? You're Jyn Morrison?" The assistant froze up for a moment before leaving to pass on the message.
Meanwhile, inside the CEO's office, Caspian was comfortably seated on the chair while bored out of his mind.
Suddenly, the phone in the office started ringing.
"Very well. Let her come in," Caspian answered.
He then hung up and looked toward Landon. "I need you to handle the company affairs until Willow arrives."
"Yes, sir!" Landon nodded his head without any hesitation.
It also served as a test for him to handle such a huge company.
Another person entered the room right as Landon had left.
Jyn walked in with a bright smile. "I never knew you had such good taste, Caspian. The entire office looks different from what I remember."
"Have a seat."
She heeded his words and sat down on the couch.
"So, what is it? What're you looking for me for?" Caspian asked.
Jyn pouted and replied, "What's wrong with friends meeting up for a chat?"
Caspian was slightly annoyed. "Alright, alright. You wouldn't be here for no good reason, so just tell me straight."
Jyn became slightly depressed as she had genuinely wanted to have a casual chat with him.
She noticed his annoyed expression and decided not to delay further.
Jyn instantly reverted to her usual Ice Queen demeanor.
"Caspian, I'm here to talk to you about Morrison Group. I hope that you can give the Morrison family another chance and return the shares to us. In return, we'll grant any of your wishes that we can reasonably fulfill."
"You still don't get it, Jyn. Do I look like I need more money? I can't just return the shares back to you," Caspian answered.
"It's not as simple as you think it is, Caspian. The loss of Morrison Group has affected the interests of all sorts of people, and your life might be in danger because of it. I'm just looking out for you."
Caspian was confused by her words.
He wondered if she meant that there were even more powerful opponents backing up the Morrisons.
But then again, he wondered if it had anything to do with him.
Caspian replied, "Looking out for me, you say? Do you think I'm a child that needs your help? You should just go back if this is what you wanted to talk about."
He would personally deal with anyone who would dare to cause trouble for him.
Jyn was at a loss for words as she knew that Caspian's identity was more powerful than she could imagine.
"I hope you'll reconsider, Caspian."
She then stood up and left the room.
Right after she left, Caspian's phone started ringing.
…
Warships from enemy countries had suddenly appeared near the territorial waters of Diatoran.
