Villain Ch 1055. Not The Allen They Knew

James flashed a polite smile at the security detail. "Is Marcus inside? And the Goldborne representative?"

The security gave him a professional nod. "Yes, they're inside, sir."

James maintained his smile, though his mind was working quickly. He knew the situation was delicate, but he wasn't about to give up just because he hadn't been invited in the first place. He pointed at Mila, his expression turning slightly more strategic. "I brought something that might help the deal," he said smoothly, flashing a winning grin. "Can I come in?"

The security exchanged a glance with Marcus' staff member, who stood nearby. The staff member, a tall man with a slightly weary look in his eyes, exhaled a long, tired breath. It was clear he had seen this kind of move before—James wasn't the first to try and leverage a last-minute advantage.
