Chapter 16 Jinx

“I’ve told you before,” Caspian said. “No one should know about my identity, including my wife. Just do as I say.

“Sure. I’ll let her know when the time comes,” said Miranda.

“After she starts working, you shall assist her and make sure she knows her way about the corporation’s operation as soon as possible. I’m not interested in business. My seat will be hers in the future.”
