Richest Mogul

Ten days later, at Martin Group, in the CEO's office, a cup of steaming coffee was placed in front of Joe. The hand that passed the coffee had beautifully manicured nails; each one carefully tended to. The soft, sweet voice of a woman followed soon after. "Mr. Martin, you have a meeting in 15 minutes," Priscilla Dunn said.noveldrama

Priscilla didn't dare to stare at Joe directly. It had taken a lot of effort to get into this office, and it had taken her three years to climb to this position.

With Paul away on a business trip, Priscilla and two colleagues had temporarily assumed his duties. Joe didn't look up, merely giving a slight nod in acknowledgment.

Priscilla wasn't surprised by his cold, distant demeanor. Despite her years at the company, Joe remained as aloof as ever, oblivious to most of the employees around him.

Joe had just answered a phone call. His tone, typically cold, softened noticeably. His gaze, once distant, seemed to warm, infused with an unmistakable tenderness.

"I'll pick up Vivian after work, and

then I'll come get you. Yes, Edgar has everything ready. The things are in the car, and the birthday cake will be delivered this afternoon. Don't forget to have lunch," he said

Clearly, he was speaking to Skylar. Even after years of marriage, their love remained unwavering. No wonder no one else could ever hope to take her place. Priscilla pressed her lips together, quietly shutting the door behind her.

Outside, her two colleagues immediately approached. Among the three of them, Priscilla was the only woman. The other two were male colleagues a few years older than
