Ethan froze.
Vanessa dropped her phone.
Emily nodded.
“Yes, Dad.”
Silence.
The name hit.
Alexander Reed.
Owner of the building. Head of Reed Financial. A man powerful enough to make or break entire companies.
Ethan’s face drained of color.
“Wait… what?”
Alexander picked up the signed papers, flipping through them calmly before looking at Ethan.
“So you’re the man who believed my daughter was nothing.”
Ethan tried to recover.
“With all due respect, this is private.”
Alexander gave a faint smile.
