mind buzzing with thoughts of his latest investment opportunity. He feels a sense197Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJrFCtLh4
of excitement and anticipation, know- ing that he’s about to meet with some of197Please respect copyright.PENANAfaex1r0ALz

step closer to achieving his goals. But as he makes his way back to the of- fice,197Please respect copyright.PENANAvqPA6jDDPI
he can’t help but feel a twinge of unease in the pit of his stomach. He knows197Please respect copyright.PENANA8jvKtekqxF

he pushes those thoughts aside, telling himself that he’s in control and always197Please respect copyright.PENANAlyHQLiEtHL
one step ahead. Little does he know the consequences of his actions are already197Please respect copyright.PENANA4CpbH5aDV5
