Charlie’s words in this situation sent chills down everyone’s spines.
It was like he had a God’s-eye view—
As if he could predict the future.
He somehow knew they’d fall out over the marriage talks, and that it would eventually affect the business project.
Mike tried to steady his nerves.

If it was the latter… this man was terrifyingly perceptive.
Mike turned his head slightly and met Kyle’s gaze from across the room.
If the project failed to go forward, both Aureate and they would suffer heavy losses—they were already in the same boat from the day the project launched.
But Kyle’s face was unreadable, betraying nothing of what he was thinking.
Everyone else
