The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Fitz’s confusion was etched all over his face as he gazed at his mother.

“Test?” he repeated uncertainly, “Mom, what do you mean?”

Deana’s expression was grave as she responded, “Charlie’s visit today has a singular purpose, Fitz.

He’s here to ask you a question, and your response will determine if you’re ready to put an end to this journey of yours.”

Fitz furrowed his brow in confusion, “What exactly is Mr. Wade planning to test me for? Is it a test of my sincerity?”

Deana nodded gravely, “In a way, yes.

Charlie’s behavior and demeanor remind me a lot of his father, Bruce.

Rather, he placed utmost importance on their character.”

Deana paused for a moment before continuing, her voice tinged with somberness.

“In Bruce’s eyes, a person’s power and influence don’t matter if their conduct is subpar.

He wouldn’t associate himself with individuals like that, let alone consider them for a career opportunity…”

“Sadly, many people today don’t share this view.

They have malicious intentions and are only interested in using and discarding others to extract their ability and value.
