I never thought that method would be used on me, but I’m not Bonnie. I didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes.

After leaving Lucas’ house, I didn’t have time to convince them because the company was in a tight spot, so I had to rush back to Rosemont.

I was busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, placating employees, overseeing production and sales, dealing with investors who wanted to pull their funding, and investigating the finance department.
