The more Victor thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could march right up to Jasper, that ungrateful traitor, and give hem the beating he deserved.
In stark contrast to Victor’s rage, Caitlin remained calm and composed. She spoke slowly, “Mr. Winslow, now isn’t the time to settle scores. Just send me Jasper’s assignments–l handle them. Focus on your own responsibilities, and don’t let irrelevant people distract you
“But Miss Kensington, Jasper’s job is complicated, I’m worried that “3
Before he could finish, Caitlin cut him off. “Worried about what? I’m here, aren’t I? Send me what you have, and all you need to do is concentrate on your own work. Don’t let outsiders throw you off p>
With that, Caitlin didn’t wait for a response and simply hung up
Oddly enough, the doubts Victor had about Caitlin’s ability to take over for Jasper vanished after hearing her speak. Confidence surged through him, and he headed straight down to the 3A Project office.
The Kensington family.!
Caitlin fastened the last component in place and pressed the power button.

In just a second, the computer whimed to life t
Sitting cross–legged on the floor, Caitlin yawned. “Looks like it’s going to be another sleepless night.“8
After leaving city hall, Julian returned home p>
Seeing him back so early, Vida hurried to greet him. “Julian, did that country girl even show up? I knew it–she’d never let you sign the divorce papers so easily p>
“She was there, Julian replied, pulling a red booklet from his bag. “Here’s the divorce certificate p>
“What?” Vida took it, eyes wide in disbelief. “Are you sure this isn’t a fake? Did she forge in p>
She couldn’t believe Caitlin would actually go through with the divorce. It was like seeing pigs fly
“It’s real. The clerk at city hall handed it to me personally Julian said, narrowing his eyes. “But Caitlin still loves me. She just wants me to regret this and start chasing after her. As if! Does she really think she’s all that? I could never fall for someone like her Mom, you need to be careful these days. If Caitlin can’t reach me, shell probably come looking for you. Don’t give her the time of day – she’ll take a mile if you give her an inch! ”
Julian wanted nothing more than to be rid of Caitlin and have her out of his life for good
Vida nodded. “Don’t worry, Julian, I’ve already told the housekeeper–if that country girl shows up, she’s to be thrown out immediately p>
After making sure his mother understood, Julian headed to The Chandler Group.X
10:30 PM E
Knock, knock, knock-
A knock sounded through the quiet office.
“Come in, Julian said, setting his paperwork aside.
Dalton Shepherd walked in from the hall. “Julian, burning the midnight oil, I see. You never stop, do you p>
Julian pressed his fingers to his temples, looking tired. “The company’s at a critical turning point right now. If I don’t stay on top of things, the place could fall apart overnight ”
Funny how it was Back when Caitlin was around, he’d never realized just how much work there was. The minute she left, everything seemed to pile up at once
Dolion grinned “That’s what happens when you’re the best. By the way, I heard you poached Jasper from Apex Game Studios p>
Jullan nodded i
Dalton’s eyes widened in disbelief
Everyone in the industry knew Jasper and Victor were thick as thieves. When Dalton first heard the rumor, he’d thought it was just idle gossip.
But it was true!
Julian, you’re incredible! That’s Jasper we’re talking about–people have offered him a million–dollar salary and he still wouldn’t budge!” Dalton gave him a thumbs up.
Julian smiled lightly. “People follow opportunity, water flows downhill. Apex Game Studios is on its last legs, so Jasper jumped ship
Dalton nodded. “You’re right, Julian.“I
With Julian at the helm, The Chandler Group was tearing through the gaming industry like a juggemaut, destined to take the world by
Compared to them, Apex Game Studios wasn’t even in the same league.
*id say
The Celestial Awards are yours for the taking this year,” Dalton said, unable to hide his admiration p>
A glint of determination flashed in Julian’s eyes. The Celestial Awards belonged to him–who could possibly compete? Read full story at.net
Just then, Dalton seemed to remember something. “Oh, Julian, there’s one more thing ”
“What is it?” Julian asked.
Dalton hesitated, then spoke, “I heard Victor just recruited another big name for Apex–a real heavyweight. She’s supposed to get their 34 game to market in just a month and compete for The Celestial Awards p>
“A heavyweight?” Julian instantly felt a twinge of unease. “Who is it p>
“Her last name’s Kensington. I’m not sure of her first name.” Dalton paused, then added, “Julian, do you think this Miss Kensington could
be Caitlin?
y is Caitlin, do you think she could pose a threat to The Chandler Group p>
if it really
Apex Game Studios might be teetering on the brink, but there was still value in acquiring them. Julian had planned to snap them up for a bargain…
But now, Caitlin might just throw a wrench into his plans.
Dalton couldn’t help but worry that Caitlin’s involvement would complicate the
acquisition.
At the mention of Caitlin’s name, the anxiety on Julian’s face vanished, replaced by open mockery. “Oh, her? Seriously? She couldn’t even finish high school, and you think she’s going to turn Apex Game Studios around? That’s like a mouse trying to shake an oak tree. Completely laughable.
