The exuberance and recklessness of youth radiated from his features, yet his eyes were calm as water, exuding a composure and elegance beyond his years. It seemed as if all his brilliance had settled down, permeating every cell…
Chapter 113 – Emmy nomination “Mr. Hall, please get in the car.” Concise and commanding, with an undeniable authority and determination, it was clear that this was someone used to giving orders from a position of power.
