Antony stood to Frederick’s left, while his former workstation was now occupied by his boss.

Yesterday, during the task briefing, Antony had introduced the team to their chain of command.
In their department, Antony was the department manager, and above him was Ethan Hunter.
Across from Frederick stood the five remaining recruits Antony had hired, excluding Claire.
As soon as Claire entered the room, Ethan tapped the table to get their attention. “Alright, now that everyone’s here, let’s have a quick meeting. To be honest, I was against Antony’s decision to keep the six of you yesterday.
“But Antony insisted he needed assistants, and he made it clear that you were all carefully selected. In the end, only two of you
will remain.
“Since joining our department, Antony has consistently excelled in his work. His achievements speak for themselves, and he’s regarded as one of the top–performing managers in the entire Hiokech Group.
“That’s the only reason I approved his request to keep you. The Flores Group department head selection will serve as your first assessment. Today is the second day. By tomorrow, you need to submit your shortlisted candidates. Whoever’s nominee gets

“But today, you’ll set aside your other tasks. Your primary duty is to accompany Mr. Hawthorne. He’s a very important customer and came to visit our company today.”

Ethan turned to Frederick with a deferential bow. “Mr.
Hawthorne, are you satisfied with the team? Is there anything else you’d like to add?”
Frederick didn’t even glance up from his phone. “No. Just have your team handle it.”
“Of course, Mr. Hawthorne. If you need anything, just let them know,” Ethan replied, nodding.
Frederick gave a distracted hum of acknowledgment, still focused on his screen.
Ethan straightened, then addressed the group. “You all, come with me.”
With a respectful nod to Frederick, Ethan led the team out of the
room.
“This is one of our biggest clients,” Ethan said, addressing the group after pulling them aside. “Make sure you handle this well. You’ve chosen the headhunting industry, so you should already know how lucrative it can be. Having access to high–level talent, resources, and connections is one thing.
“But your true skill lies in placing those resources and connections exactly where the client needs them. Mr. Hawthorne is no ordinary man. With just a word, he can accomplish things that would take you days of running around in circles. Even the crumbs he leaves behind are enough to

“If you can manage to keep Mr. Hawthorne happy, he could have you converted to full–time employees with a single sentence. You could even land yourselves in any position you dream of.”
With that, Ethan left, leaving the group buzzing.

“Holy crap, a client this powerful? And they’re giving us newbies the chance to handle it? It’s like hitting the jackpot!”
“Ha, is it?” someone scoffed. “If it’s really a jackpot, do you think upper management would let it fall into our laps?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means you’re a total rookie. Think about it–if they’re giving us this so–called golden opportunity, it’s bound to come with strings attached. It’s not some gift from heaven; it’s a ticking time bomb.”
“Exactly. This Mr. Hawthorne must be incredibly hard to please. Otherwise, why hand him over to us instead of the senior staff?”
“True. And don’t forget, we’re all still on probation. No
contracts, no security. If we screw up even a little, they can fire us on the spot–no severance, no nothing.”
“Damn, so that’s the game they’re playing. Ethan’s as ruthless as they come.”
“Yeah, ruthless!”
“Ruthless or not, this is just how big corporations operate. Instead of wasting time complaining about Ethan, we should

“By the way, does anyone actually know who this Mr. Hawthorne is? He sounds like a big deal.”

The group quieted down and turned their attention to the man seated in the office–Frederick.
“No idea.”
“Never heard of him.”
One by one, they all shook their heads before pulling out their phones to search.
Except Claire. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from Frederick.
Her instincts told her that he was here because of her.
