Geoffrey bit his lip but held his ground. "Dad, you know how cold David is. I want to talk to him, but he wonât even listen."
"Enough," Logan cut him off. "Iâm done with this conversation."
Pollyâs voice softened, trying again. "Could you speak to David? Get him to let Sebastian stay here?"
Logan shook his head firmly. "The Charrington family is under Davidâs rule now. Iâm not getting involved in this."
Turning to Woody, he added, "Help me upstairs."
Logan didnât even try to hide his disdain. Their schemes were written all over their faces, and he wasnât about to entertain them any longer.
At Charrington Group, Nathan walked into Davidâs office. "Mr. Charrington, Sebastianâs back. Geoffrey and Polly just picked him up from the airport, and he should be at Charrington Manor by now."
David glanced up, his gaze as sharp as ever. "So heâs back. Big deal. Heâs still useless."
His tone was frosty, sending a chill through the room as if the very air had frozen in place.
Nathan added, "Heâs been chasing women abroad. Geoffrey and Polly think bringing him back will somehow threaten your position.
"Theyâll probably try to get your grandfather to keep him here," Nathan observed.
As Davidâs right-hand man, Nathan always paid special attention to those from the Charrington family.
David shrugged dismissively. "Logan wonât care. Heâs never been one for this kind of thing." He stood up, adjusting his suit. "Iâm going to pick up Danielle." Nathan couldnât help but think, âThe boss sure loves rubbing his relationship in everyoneâs faces.
Danielle glanced at the clock-it was almost time for her to leave for the day. She was flying overseas tomorrow and had some packing to do.
Just as she stepped outside, she saw David standing by the car, his suit perfectly tailored and a cigarette in his hand. He looked effortlessly cool, standing out like a man who belonged.
As soon as Danielle appeared, David noticed her immediately, flicking the cigarette away before striding toward her. "Tired?"
"No," she replied with a smile.
The entrance to Black Web headquarters was buzzing with people, all of them sneaking glances at the scene unfolding in front of them.
"When did Ms. Darling get a boyfriend?"
