Chapter 734:
Harlee paused mid-typing and tapped the speakerphone button.
Brice didnât like engaging in small talk, so he went straight to the point.
âMiss Sanderson, everything you asked for has been taken care of. Whatâs next on the agenda?â
It had taken Brice nearly three months to untangle Janessa Studio from Uwhorâs grip and set things straight.
Harlee glanced at the clock. It was almost noon, and the hunger in her stomach was starting to grow.
âMeet me at the Grand Oak.â
Brice hesitated, his voice betraying a hint of surprise.
âHow did you know Iâm in Baythorn?â
Brice hadnât mentioned his return since he had planned to secure a new location for the studio before reporting back to Harlee.
Harlee shrugged, her tone light but firm.
âYou are talking too much, Brice.â
Briceâs face immediately turned ashen.
âYou are right. My apologies.â
âBe there by twelve-thirty,â Harlee instructed before ending the call.
It had been some time since she last took the reins of the studio. The moment had come to refocus her energy on its development.
Brice felt like he could use a moment to recover.

Harleeâs absence from the studioâs affairs had been noticeable.
He had forgotten how demanding she could be. Over time, complacency had crept in, and now, it was glaringly obvious.
Determined to stay ahead, Brice instructed Layne Blake, his assistant, to clear his schedule for the next two days.
Brice wasnât entirely sure what tasks Harlee might throw his way, but preparing for it wouldnât hurt.
Seeing Briceâs mix of anticipation and unease, Layne couldnât help but feel curious.
Brice had remained perfectly composed while negotiating with Uwhorâs royal family. What kind of person could cause him to act this way? Could it be because of the mysterious head of Janessa Studio?
Layne recalled that Brice had started behaving differently right after a phone call in the office.
As his suspicions deepened, an overwhelming curiosity surged within him.
He wanted to meet the legendary founder of Janessa Studio.
Rumors swirled that the head of Janessa Studio was actually the famous hacker known as Quick Cameo, a figure so elusive that even Uwhorâs royal family treated her with caution.
Layne carefully asked, âMr. Miller, can I tag along to meet the head of Janessa Studio?â
Brice cast Layne a brief glance before nodding. It was a practical decision. If anything urgent came up, Layne would be there to handle some of the workload.
At the Grand Oak, Brice arrived fifteen minutes early to the private dining room on the 88th floor.
