Despite my efforts to move forward, I felt trapped.
I didn’t know what Matthew and his “allies” aimed for.
Beside them, it seemed an unseen force was pushing me to move.
I doubted whether my previous decisions were correct.
It was good for the company to have projects, but I also felt tied down.
I couldn’t turn back, even if it meant facing tremendous challenges.
My mom must’ve heard me and realized I hadn’t returned to my room, so she quietly came downstairs.
Her heart ached when she saw me looking so tired.
She sat beside me, saying, “You look exhausted.” I smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Yeah.
Mom, why do we have to grow up?” I asked softly.
My mom stroked my hair gently.

I won’t allow them to do that.
I can’t let it fail under my leadership.

Some just don’t deserve kindness.” My mom’s hand trembled.
“Is it that scumbag again? Her words made me realize I had said too much.
I got up, saying, “Mom, don’t worry.
I’ve sorted things at the company.
I hired someone to help, and he’s also from our hometown.
Oh, you know him too.
Do you remember Ryan?” “The one from the same school as you? my mom asked.
“Yes, that’s him.
He just returned to the country, and I hired him to work in my company.” “Oh, that’s great! It’s nice tohave someone from the same hometown looking out for you.
Invite him for dinner one day.
I remember him taking good care of you when you started college!” My mom’s eyes sparkled.
“Yeah, that’s him,” I assured her, “I’ll invite him for dinner soon.” Suddenly, my phone rang, and Iremoved it from my bag to check the caller ID.
I saw Atlas’s name and told my mom, “I’m okay, mom.
You can go to bed now.
I’ll go to my room, too.” I answered the call while heading upstairs.
Atlas asked, “Are you home already?” “Yeah, I’m home,” I replied as I entered my room.
“I’ll be heading to Quillbrooke tomorrow for about two weeks.
If there are any issues related to ATL Empire, remember to wait for me to handle it when I return,” hesaid thoughtfully.
I froze and wondered what he meant.
I had never heard him speak so seriously about work matters, sol asked, “Is something wrong?”Although I couldn’t see his expression, I sensed something had happened and felt uneasy.
“You don’t need to worry about matters concerning the headquarters.
I just want you to be prepared if anything happens during my absence.novelbin

Still, I couldn’t help but ask, “Did I cause any trouble for you?” My heart was in my throat, and I had aslight headache.
It seemed I had caused trouble for Atlas again.
