บท 51: A Small Talk with Tess

Tess, one of the branch leaders, intervened with a calm and composed demeanour, his words carrying a subtle air of authority that brooked no resistance.

"Ms Blue, I'm afraid you'd have to leave the boy to me since it'd be a bit of trouble if the boss discovered how you treated him."

The receptionist, Ms Blue, was taken aback by Tess's intervention, her earlier confidence faltering as she realized the gravity of the situation.

She quickly abandoned her previous stance, her expression shifting from arrogance to a mix of embarrassment and fear.

Tess adjusted his glasses with practised ease, a small gesture that seemed to punctuate his subtle display of power.

His presence radiated an aura of command, prompting immediate compliance from those around him.

With deliberate steps, Tess approached Daniel, his every move exuding an air of respect and authority that commanded attention.
