Sitting in his office, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, he watched the scene of another investor she had won for Empire. A twinge of admiration mixed with frustration echoed in his thoughts. With each new alliance Rosalie established, a complex web of emotions formed in her mind. While the pressure he had applied was still punishing the company, her relentless determination to seek new investors was undeniably impressive. His lips pressed in a tense line, a silent testimony of recognition to this force that he knew existed in her. The computer screen was a portal to a reality that Duncan had contributed to creating, a battle of strategies that unfolded before his eyes.
