Sullivan Corporation,

"Second Young Master, is there something that I can help you with?" Mr. Kim asked as he picked up the call.

"Where's my brother? And why is he not even picking my call?" Rylan immediately bombarded the poor man with questions.

"Oh, that! Actually, Sire is currently in a board meeting. If there's something important you can tell me, I'll relay your message to your brother as soon as he will come out of the meeting." Mr. Kim told the young man on the other end of the call before turning his attention towards the meeting room where a fierce battle was going on at the moment.

The Master was in a really bad mood and it would be best if Mr. Kim kept everyone and anyone from disturbing the active volcano that was ready to erupt at any moment.

"Unfortunately Mr. Kim, the message that I want to give to my brother is too important to wait for even a second. If you don't want to lose your life, I'll advise you to let me talk to my brother this very instant." Rylan told the Secretary in a serious tone.

"This...."

Poor Mr. Kim was now in a dilemma. 

"Second Young Master, please try to understand. The situation over here is not really that great. I don't think we should disturb Master at all." Mr. Kim eventually exposed the situation.

Rylan was silent for a few seconds as he thought about his choices and finally found a perfect one.

"Mr. Kim, I'm really sorry for doing this to you but I love my life a lot. If I did not tell my brother about this, he would surely kill me. So I'm telling you about this. Then it's up to what you want to do with this information." 

And just like that, Rylan told the Secretary about how Shadow was planning to snatch away the future Lady Boss of the Sullivan Empire.

As the call ended after a few minutes, Secretary Kim could feel sweat dripping from his face and down his neck. Did not know why but ever since Miss Alessandro stepped in City A six years ago, his happy life had taken a different route. Every now and then he found himself in the center of situations where he would be punished without any reason.

His fear for the future Lady Boss was even greater than his fear for his Sire. 

Just look at the current situation. If he decided to not disturb his Boss and keep the message to himself until the meeting ended, there were high chances that he would be thrown out of the company with a group of rogues chasing him. And if he decided to disturb the current meeting to send the message to the Boss, he still would be punished for becoming the reason for the company's loss, meaning he had to say goodbye to his next month's salary and bonus.

But life was obviously more important than money, right? At least he would have other chances to make up for his loss if he stayed alive.

Keeping these points in his head, Secretary Kim finally made up his mind and headed towards the meeting room.

As soon as Kaiden heard the knock on the door, he was infuriated. Not only he needed to deal with stupid board members who had no idea about what was right or what was wrong for the company, he even had to handle his dumb staff who could not stop themselves from interrupting him at such an important time.

"What now?" He asked in a cold and angry tone as his icy sharp eyes landed on his Secretary.

Out of the people he was imagining to enter from that door, Secretary Kim was definitely not among them. How come even his Secretary could be so foolish?

"Master, it's really an urgent matter that can't wait." Mr. Kim hurriedly spoke in a hushed tone as he kept his eyes fixed on the boss, not giving the board members even a single glance.

"Secretary Kim, what is so important that it could not even wait for a few more minutes?" Kaiden asked as he kept glaring at the dragon shifter.

"Master, it's about Miss Alessandro." 

Secretary Kim hurriedly blurted out but made sure to keep his voice to a minimum. Even though most of the board members were supernatural with sharp hearing ability, still none of them would have dared to listen to their hushed talk.

Kaiden's aura changed as soon as his angel's name was mentioned. Instead of the coldness, anger, and frustration, there was anxiety visible in his eyes for a second before that too disappeared.

It took him barely a second to pull himself together as he turned towards the members of the board and said in an overbearing cold tone, "You all are dismissed. I hope that the same nonsense won't be repeated in the next meeting."

No one dared to speak as they just hurriedly nodded their heads and after collecting their things, scurried out of the meeting room.

Barely in less than a minute, the meeting room was empty except for Kaiden and his Secretary who had been continuously typing on his phone.

"What are you doing?" Kaiden asked as he settled down on his chair.

"I have told the HR department to cut my salary and bonus for this month. And here's the recording of the conversation that I had with Second Young Master when he tried to contact you just a while ago." Mr. Kim replied in a calm tone as he handed his phone to his boss.

Kaiden kept his eyes on his Secretary for a few more seconds before he nodded his head and commented, "Fortunately, you are no longer as stupid as before."

Meaning, he still considered Mr. Kim an idiot but a better idiot.

"It's all thanks to Master's lessons and teachings." Mr. Kim immediately replied as he tapped the screen of his phone and the recording started to play.

By the time, it ended, Kaiden'd bad mood was back and this time it was even more terrifying than before.

"Let's go. We are going to the Amusement Park."
