Love At The Wrong Table

Impatiently, Shane hung up the phone. He was well aware of the sect’s rules, but he had truly earned his position in the company through his own merit. No one had assisted him in achieving it.

In this society, capability was everything. Take Frederick, for example. He was highly educated, taller, and even slightly more good-looking than Shane… Well, maybe slightly less handsome. But what did that matter? Wasn’t Frederick fired shortly after joining the company?

In contrast, Shane was thriving in the company effortlessly.

When he returned to the office, his colleagues were all engaged in conversation.

“Have you heard? Our company is going to negotiate a partnership with Diamond Titan Military Technologies!”

“Oh my God! That’s a top international conglomerate! Do we have the capacity for that?”

“I’m not sure; it’s just a rumor. It’s something our boss is supposed to handle!”

“I heard that if this project is successful, there’s a commission of 1 million!”

Shane wasn’t interested in such hot topics. After all, he had been with the company for a while now and still had no idea what he was doing. In other words, he was just muddling along. However, he was intrigued by the million- dollar commission, but he also knew that such a significant task would not be assigned to a newbie like him.

“Hey, who put their breakfast on my desk?” Shane sat at his desk and found an extra breakfast on it. Unlike the inexpensive breakfast Lola and the others usually brought, this was a luxurious and nutritious meal!
