Chapter 103 Additional Payment

• The conference room fell silent as Tristan walked in, his presence commanding everyone's attention. As he made his way to the head of the table, a hushed murmur filled the room. Tristan was a man of authority, that much was evident, but there was something different about him since the last five months. A subtle change in his demeanor, a coldness that seemed to emanate from his very being.
• His smile, however, remained warm and approachable, a stark contrast to the icy aura that surrounded him. It was a smile that had always put his employees at ease, especially during serious meetings like this one, where important business partners were present. It was a smile that spoke confidence, as if to say 'We've got this under control.'
• "Good morning, everyone," Tristan's voice cut through the silence, clear and confident. The room seemed to come alive at the sound, the tension in the air dissipating ever so slightly. All eyes were on him.
