Chapter 112

Meanwhile, at the office, chaos had erupted. Roy ran toward David the moment he entered. "Sir, they've already left. The Japanese delegation pulled out of the deal. They said this shows a lack of sincerity. The European clients are furious. And the domestic partners… they're reconsidering cooperation." David's face was unreadable, but his silence was more terrifying than shouting. "Reschedule what you can," he said finally. His voice was low, drained. "And tell them I'll fly to them personally. I'll fix this." Roy hesitated, then whispered, "Sir… they specifically said they don't wish to continue talks anymore." For a moment, David's body stilled. He pressed his fingers against his temple, exhaling heavily. This… all because Marina couldn't stand being alone for a day. Back at the villa, Marina paced restlessly. She knew David was furious, but she also believed he would calm down. He always did. He would return, and things would go back to normal. But hours passed. No message, no call.
