“Cayson, are you at Universe Group right now?” Despite the warmth in her voice, her words fell on him like an icy shower, shocking him back to sobriety.

Quietly balling his fist, Cayson sighed and replied, “Mom, I'm at Universe Group. But there's no need to revisit what you brought up earlier. | don’t share those intentions.” On the other end of the line, the woman's voice softened further, as though attempting to cajole him, “Cayson, | understand you need stime. Your father and | won't rush you. Just remember, we want nothing but the best for you.” Cayson held his silence, his face impassive. His eyes, once full of affection, now mirrored his internal battle and torment.

“Never mind, | guess you're not in a place to listen toright now.

What about Lorrie? Is she with you?” Loraine’s nseemed to thaw Cayson’s icy demeanor slightly. Lowering his head in a poignant gesture, he mustered a wry smile.

“Lorrie... She had sbusiness to attend to and had to leave the company. We haven't had much tto communicate lately. Once she’s back, I'll continue to cultivate our relationship.” Satisfied with his response, the woman dispensed a few more gentle reminders before ending the call.

ninja After centering himself, Cayson turned his focus back to Loraine’s request and decided to retrieve sdocuments from her office. As he opened the door, he was confronted with the grinning, creased face of Reynolds.

Clearly, he had been eavesdropping behind the door for a while.

“What brings you here, Mr. Watts?” Reynolds greeted him with excessive cheerfulness, “Mr. Benton, what a coincidence! | was just searching for you.” Cayson spared him a frosty glance, not in the mood for his antics. When he tried to move past, Reynolds blocked his path again, this twith a sycophantic smile.

“I just happened to overhear that Loraine won't be with the company for awhile, is that correct?” Cayson's heartbeat stuttered, apprehensive that Reynolds might have stumbled upon sundisclosed information. But, recalling his recent phone conversation, he realized he hadn't divulged anything crucial, and Reynolds just knew Loraine wouldn't be around for a while.

While Cayson couldn't entirely discern Reynolds's intentions, he was certain that this wily man had no good intentions. He retorted, his face impassive, “What concern is it of yours, Mr. Watts? | have pressing matters to deal with, so kindly refrain from wasting my time.”
