Meanwhile, somewhere in the world…
A woman in a smart suit hurried toward the lift as it opened.
"Sir—Sir Gustav!" the woman called out nervously, stopping dead in her tracks.
Gustav glanced at her, his strides steady and calm. In his hand was a large black duffel bag.
"Cancel her entire schedule for the day," he said as he walked past the woman.
"But—" the secretary gasped slightly before hurrying to follow him. "Sir Gustav, Miss Nikki has a lot of important meetings today. Some of them have been booked since last year."
Gustav's expression didn't change, nor did his steps slow as he headed straight to where Nikki was.
"Sir Gustav…"
Gustav stopped in front of the large doors and turned to her. The second his eyes landed on her, her shoulders stiffened, and her throat tightened.
Her throat bobbed as she gulped. "I'll cancel everything, sir."
