He was not utterly confident, but he knew Heather could not find a better candidate for the task than him. Ralph also knew she would not have made such an offer if she had options. He now felt that 30% of the shares was insufficient.
‘If Heather can make such an offer just like that, it means the secret handbook is worth much more. However, there's no hurry in making a counteroffer. Once | get my hands on it, I'll be in a good position to negotiate the price. I'll get even with her for the injuries and humiliation she has giventoday!

She stopped before the door and reached out to turn the door handle. It was unlocked, as Hannah would not dare to leave the room once Heather had given her the order. She could not believe such an obedient girl would dare defy her yesterday.

‘This is impossible!” She turned her gaze and saw someone cowering in the dark corner with her arms wrapped around her knees. Heather would not have noticed someone sitting there if she had not paid more attention.
Hannah fixed her lifeless gaze on the floor, looking like a soulless puppet.
Heather grew upset when she saw Hannah like this.
