MARK’S POV
I turned with a start as the door to my office burst open. My assistant stepped in, his brows creased
and eyes widened in a mixture of fear and worry.
“What did you barge in like that?!” I rose to my feet angrily.
His breathing was uneven and he tried to steady it before he spoke. I wondered if he ran here.
“Sydney ising and with the expression on her face and with her strides, nob*dy could dare to
stop her. Not even security. I cou-”
My gaze swiftly slid to the door as it was roughly pushed open again. My assistant leapt away from
the entrance way as Sydney barged in.
She made a beeline for my desk and mmed her bag down on it. She directed the thunderous
look in her eyes at me and yelled, “Mark, what exactly are you up to? Why are you making things
difficult for me?”
I raised my brows and cast a shocked nce at the slight crack she just made on my desk. I
wondered what the cause of her anger was as I turned to my assistant who kept a cautious nce
at Sydney. I nodded towards the door. “Leave us.”
His l*ps trembled, his gaze shifting from Sydney to me. ‘Do you want me to call for backup
security?”
I cast an amused look his way while Sydney shot him a deathly re. At the look on her face, he
nodded and scrambled out the door, gently closing the door behind him.
She must have really scared them, I thought as I turned to a fuming Sydney. “What’s the matter?
How have I offended you?” I asked softly.
Sydney scoffed then she roared, “You pretender! You still dare to y innocent.”
I returned her re with a nk look. “I honestly have no idea why you’re here. I have been trying
to stay out of her way since I found out about her and my damned uncle so what could I have
possibly done?
She drew back, her brows raised, “So you want to deny that you haven’t been ying disastrous.
tricks just to force us to sell ourpany to you?” She threw her hands in the air, “What have I ever
done to you to deserve this, Mark? I left the marriage, I left you and Be alone. I have done
everything to get out of your hair so why?!”
I frowned as I listened to her. Herpany? She owned apany? “Whatpany do you own
that you im that I am forcing you to sell to me?” I asked, puzzled.
With narrowed eyes, she threw a file at me. I raised my brows at her before slowly looking down at
the file she had thrown at my ch*st . I ced it before me on the desk and opened it.
I paused at the content of the file before me. My gaze shifted to her then back to the file. I sat up as
my eyes scanned the documents. I frantically fl*pped through and the documents before me were
the hardcopy of the Luxe Vogue acquisition proposal that I had personally approved. I remembered
vividly that I had signed the soft copy that was emailed to them and also the hardcopy that was
delivered the same day.
I reached into my drawer and quickly brought out the document of the second mysterious founder of
Luxe Vogue and Atelier Studios.
“You’re the second founder of Luxe vogue?!”
She narrowed her eyes, “Don’t y smart with me, Mark.”
“I’m serious, Sydney. I didn’t know it was you. I only knew Grace was one of the founders, the
second person’s identity has since remained unknown.” I paused and studied her, she seemed not
to be listening to me as she directed a re at me. “So is it you?” I prompted.
She threw her hands in the air and blurted out, “Of course, it’s me! Who else could it be? I’m always
hanging out with Grace; we’re friends. It’s obvious that I am the one who started the

business with her. Any intelligent person would have figured that out!”
I reclined in my seat as I pieced everything together. Grace….I should have known it was Sydney’s
Grace!
I sighed and leaned forward. I dropped the documents on the desk. “Alright, alright, I’m not
intelligent, okay?” I slightly raised my hand in the air in surrender. “But the Grace I know now looks
different from the picture in her business profile,” I frowned.
“What do you think? Isn’t been years!” She spelt out each word as though I was a four year old.
She shrugged, “Besides, we were still struggling then.”

I nodded slowly, taking in this information. “Why didn’t you update any information on you own
profile? That would have prevented this huge misunderstanding.”
She rolled her eyes, “I was too busy schooling and looking for my parents and then boom, I became
your wife back. Where would I have found the time to deal with that, Mark?”
I regarded her for a while. “You’re right. Updating a business profile must have been the least of
your worries. Then I stood up from my seat and walked to the coffee machine ced in the corner
of the room. I went over everything all over again as I made two cups of coffee. Even as I stood
there, I could feel her hot re on my back.
I gently ced a cup of coffee before her. “Sit down and calm down. I assure you, this is all a
misunderstanding. Rx and let’s amicably resolve it.”
She grabbed the cup and downed the whole thing. She pinned me with a re. “Now, let’s resolve
it. “How do you n to solve this?”
me see?”
I smiled at her and returned to my seat. An idea was already cooking in my head. “Did you. bring
information on your men’s clothing line? If you are with them, can you let She suspiciously narrowed
her eyes at me, the anger in her eyes dimmed. “Why?” I chuckled, “You want us to solve this, don’t
you?”
She nodded slowly.
“Then let me see.
She regarded me for a while before she turned her gaze to her bag on the desk and pulled out
some documents. “Here,” her voice came out softer. She ced it on the desk and started to point
at some things and exined them.
I nodded at what she showed me, secretly d that her anger seemed to have faded away. When
she was done, I took the documents from her and carefully reviewed them. As a man, I was
impressed. The designs for the men’s clothing line they wanted to venture into was impressive,I
would give that to them. It held great potential and I could easily see the series bing a
household name even more than Luxe Vogue and Atelier Studios.
I closed it and faced her, “I think the designs for this series are amazing. It has great market
potential and I am sure it would be one of the best among the elite societies and personalities.” My
heart warmed as I saw Sydney’s eyes light up and a bright smile adorned her l*ps. “Right? She
perked up. “You think so too, don’t you? It’s really good; we put a lot of effort into it. Grace spent
hours on each design.” Her shoulders slightly slumped, “It would be a shame for it to just disappear
like that.”
I nodded, “Your efforts cannot go like that. I looked away from her and picked up my phone. I dialed
the Executive office. “Halt the acquisition of Luxe Vogue immediately!” I ordered. Then invest a sum
of ten million dors in theirpany. Prepare the contracts and termination of the proposal
immediately; I want to review them.”
Sydney’s eyes bulged as she stared at me, her m*uth slightly agape. Then she asked skeptically,
“What are you doing?”
I reclined in my seat and patiently exined to her, “Most of your investors pulled out, didn’t they?
They did, I answered myself as she just kept staring. I am filling in for them. Plus, with the capital
injection from GT Group, other financial forces would not dare to easily crush you. In fact, more
investors will pull in. Companies like yours are easy targets for big corporations. With my
investment, I will be protecting you.”
