My Substitute CEO Bride

The person's figure on the monitor flickered intermittently, but in the end, they were not discovered. The team breathed a sigh of relief.

After instructing everyone to stay safe, Puelo and the others returned to the company under the cover of darkness. Helio was tasked with monitoring and protecting Mica.

The next day arrived, and the employee who had been Helio's previous disguise suddenly went missing. However, this seemed to have no impact on the production department. The production team continued their work as usual, seemingly unaware of the absence.

At this time, 'Jimmy', Sterling's disguise, arrived with his documents as usual.

"Here's an urgent order. Please process it quickly," Sterling said.

The production department accepted the documents without saying a word. "Aren't you short of staff here?" Sterling asked suddenly.

The manager was momentarily surprised when he heard the question but then turned particularly serious as he looked at Sterling.

"Jimmy, if you want to stay alive, some things are better left unsaid."

Realizing the gravity of the situation from the manager's reaction, Sterling had no choice but to withdraw. However, he could not shake the feeling that something was causing fear among the workers. Was it the watchers, or was there something else entirely?

Afternoon came, and as usual, everyone headed to the cafeteria. Sure enough, each person's tray was loaded with a large scoop of radish.

Sterling did not eat and instead exited through the back door of the cafeteria. No sooner had he left when a massive commotion erupted in the cafeteria. A madman stood on a table, shouting at everyone to avoid eating the cafeteria food.

Perhaps these were the so-called "watchers" Sterling mentioned.

...

In one office, a corpulent and jowly man, the head of the department, was

leisurely puffing on a cigar. He waved for Dahlia to come over.

Assuming it was just a routine

matter, Dahlia went over without thinking much of it. However, just as she approached the man, a pair black hands emerged from the shadow behind her, pulling her into the shadow itself.

The fat manager took a puff from his cigar and let out a long sigh. "There are always those who aren't afraid of death. Such a shame about that pretty face."

Representatives from Brightstate were once again paying a visit to Mica's office. A man in sunglasses and a suit opened the office door. He said respectfully, "Boss, they're here again."

Mica waved his hand dismissively and said impatiently, "Ignore them. I've said no

to the merger. Does he not understand?"

The man in sunglasses nodded. “Understood, sir." Suddenly, there was a

commotion outside the door before the office fell silent.

Mica turned away, looking at the BrightState Tower in the distance as displeasure filled him. “Hmph, what's so impressive about them? Just wait, you won't be on top for much longer."

However, that very night...
