MISSION; MAKE HER FALL FOR ME

Apollo seethed with anger as he left Stella's office. He felt a wave of disappointment and frustration wash over him. He couldn't believe that he had been so thoroughly bested. No one had ever rejected him before

Apollo had never experienced rejection when making a business proposal.

Though Apollo had sensed from Stella's demeanor that she wasn't going to make it easy for him, he was well-prepared and determined to come out on top.

Yet, the fact that she dismissed him and closed the door so curtly provoked his anger.

Well,despite the apparent flirting during the office meeting, Apollo was merely playing a role as part of his long-term strategy. He was confident that he would return and that the physical encounter they had at the club had undoubtedly influenced her decision to reject his business proposal, but he knew that he could still turn things around. Just wait and see.

From her demeanor and expressions, it seemed like...she might be drawn to him. This was hardly a shock to Apollo; he was well aware of the effect his extraordinary beauty had on women, who practically drooled over his handsome features.

As he observed the subtle yet distinct reactions Stella displayed in his presence – the way she looked at him and the hint of blush that graced her cheeks – he couldn't help but notice her undeniable attraction to them. There was something intriguing about her; she was undeniably beautiful and extraordinary in her own way. But Apollo also noticed her perfectionist tendencies, which seemed to define her personality.

With a steadfast resolve, Apollo settled into the driver's seat of his pristine white Lamborghini and peeled away from the scene. He was determined to prove himself and wouldn't back down. Making his father proud was the goal, and he was hell-bent on achieving it. He wasn't going to let anything stand in his way.

************

Apollo was seated at his desk when he was interrupted by a knock at his door. Callously, he commanded, "Come in." Kelvin stepped into the room

"Hi" he said quickly. In response, Apollo fixed him with an unmoving, emotionless stare as he took a seat across from him. With a calm yet firm tone, Apollo inquired, "Are you finished with the drugs?" In reply, Kelvin silently nodded, confirming Apollo's question.

"Ye's"Kelvin's response caused a ripple of relief to cross over Apollo's face. "That's good," he replied, the tension seeping out of him. Kelvin continued, his voice full of confidence, "And I think the Don would be pleased to know about it. The clan members will ensure that he is informed." Apollo nodded in agreement, satisfied with Kelvin's assurance. Kelvin then asked casually, "It seems you are quite busy these days. What's going on?" Apollo's eyes narrowed into a glare as he fixed Kelvin with a cold stare. He couldn't comprehend why Kelvin was still questioning him about something they had discussed only a few days ago. It seemed that Kelvin was prone to forget, or perhaps he just didn't pay attention. Apollo's patience was wearing thin. Nevertheless, he responded with a tone laced with irritation, "I don't understand what's going on with you. I already explained everything to you a few days ago. I'm working on fulfilling the Don's greatest need before his death in two years. How is it that you still don't remember?"

"Oh yes!"Kelvin said in realization.

Apollo's jaw clenched with irritation as Kelvin suddenly remembered their previous conversation. "Of course you remember," he replied, with a thinly veiled edge to his tone. "Did Ms Cruze accept the proposal?" Kelvin inquired. A bitter laugh escaped Apollo's lips as he shook his head. "You won't believe who Ms Cruze really is." His voice dripping with venom and annoyance, Apollo continued, "She was that ridiculously attractive woman who disrespected me and ruined my damn shirt!"

Kelvin's eyes widened with shock and surprise as he exclaimed, "Dang! What a crazy twist! Did she accept the proposal?" Apollo, slightly annoyed, just stared at him. Kelvin's cluelessness made him want to roll his eyes

"Dude what the —"His tone was laced with irritation."Yeah,so she denied it"Kelvin said with acknowledgement.

"But I'm not giving up," Apollo said determinedly. A look of confusion crossed Kelvin's face as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

A wave of realization washed over Apollo. There was no point in repeatedly trying and overthinking. Stella actually seemed drawn to him, so he had devised the perfect plan. With a steely gaze, he looked at Kelvin and stated decisively, "I have a plan."

Kelvin, clearly intrigued, let out a smirk.

With a determined smirk of his own, Apollo declared, "I'm gonna make this attractive and seductive yet domineering woman fall for me."

"Huh?" Kelvin asked, bewildered by the unexpected revelation.

"MISSION: MAKE HER FALL FOR ME," Apollo declared, the smirk on his lips deepening
