Summary
Charles loathes everything about the place, its gloss, its grandeur, its deliberate falseness. Anything touched by his stepfather’s prestige and pomp leaves a sour taste in his mouth. He’d been dreading this evening ever since he’d received the invite a week ago, dreading the thought of being in the same room as Kurt again. And now that he’s here, it’s even worse than he imagined.
His paranoia aside, Charles knows he needs to be here. If he intends to take over the company in a few weeks, he has to make a mark with the board, with the directors, with anyone who might question his place. He needs to be seen as a presence. A figure of consequence.
He’s been waiting for this moment all his adult life — the moment he turns twenty-one and pry Xavier Pharmaceuticals from the greedy grip of his stepfather. And now that it’s within reach, he can’t back out. Not now. Not even if he loathes the company and consequences that come with it.
