The Tycoon's Pawn

Later that evening, Kiara found herself pacing in her office, the adrenaline still coursing through her veins. The weight of the day pressed heavily on her, and the cryptic message from earlier lingered in her mind.

"Hey," Mike said, stepping into the room, his expression serious. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," Kiara replied, though her heart raced. "Just thinking about the press conference and the message I received."

"What message?" he asked, concern flickering in his eyes.

"It's… nothing. Just a contact I need to meet," she said, trying to brush it off.

"Kiara, if it's related to Ruddy or this mess, I need to know," Mike insisted, stepping closer. "You can't face this alone."

She felt a rush of gratitude at his concern but hesitated. "It's just someone who might have more information about Ruddy. I need to see if they have anything useful."

"Then I'm coming with you," Mike said, his tone firm. "No arguments."
