Joshua's voice was icy. "Since he's making his move, there's no need forto hold back. | heard he's just
snagged a major project overseas?"
Thomas nodded. "Yes, just recently. Over the years, Chris has expanded his influence to several neighboring
countries. He's set up his own bases..."
Joshua's lips curled into a smirk. "Let's send him a little ‘welcome’ gift. Make sure that the project of his doesn't
go forward."
Thomas responded promptly, "Understood."
"And was it Chris' crew who took out Sue?" Joshua asked.

naturally handslooks were even more irresistible in his current state.

Chris smirked, lifting the girl's chin. He looked into her eyes with his mesmerizing gaze. his smile captivating.
"Which girl could ever satisfylike you do? She's just a pawn. She's still useful for now, so I'll keep her around.
