The elevator carried them straight to the top floor, where they stepped into the office together.
Lillian looked at the three pairs of eyes fixed on her, their gazes heavy with reproach. She smiled lightly. “Why are you all looking at me like that? Aren’t you happy to see me p>
Karina broke into tears and laughter at once. “You silly girl. Do you have any idea? You’ve been gone for two years. Do you know how worried we’ve been? If it weren’t for him bringing us updates, I would have thought you were gone for good p>
Two years ago, that man had come to the company to tell her about Lillian’s condition. Since then, with no sign of her, Karina had nearly lost hope. Rumors had spread – that Lillian had been killed, that she had gone abroad to study – but no one truly knew. To protect the truth, Karina had only told Ryan and Wayne that Lillian was secluded, developing a new medicine, with no timeline for her return.
Of course, Lillian knew exactly who Karina meant. Her face softened with guilt. “Karina, I’m sorry. It all happened so suddenly, I had no warning and no time to tell you. I didn’t mean to make you worry p>
Back then, she’d only had twelve hours. Ten of those were spent on the plane. She hadn’t even had a phone with her. There was nothing she could have done.
Karina embraced her gently. “You don’t need to apologize. As long as you’ve come back safely, nothing else matters. For everything else, Karina will protect it for you. You don’t have to be afraid p>
From the moment Lillian had saved her years ago, she had sworn to follow her and protect her for life. That vow had never changed.
Tears streamed down Lillian’s face. Her voice trembled. “Thank you, Karina p>
Ryan and Wayne’s eyes were glistening as well, though they quickly tried to lighten the mood. “Alright, alright. We’re still here, you know. Don’t get all melodramatic like it’s some tragic farewell p>
Both Lillian and Karina laughed through their tears, and the heavy air lifted.
Ryan flashed a cheeky grin. “So, you’ve been a hands-off boss all this time while we slaved away. Don’t you think we deserve a raise, maybe a vacation or two p>
Lillian shot him a look of disdain. “That’s all you can think about? Haven’t you spent half your time gallivanting overseas already?” She remembered well the foreign companies she had once instructed him to invest in.
“Boss, that doesn’t count,” Ryan protested with mock misery. “I need vacation time for dates with beautiful
women p>
Lillian tapped her chin thoughtfully. “Alright. Find yourself a girlfriend, and I’ll give you some time off p>
Wayne and Karina burst out laughing. Everyone knew Ryan worked himself to the bone and never had time for romance. Their chairman could be sharp when she wanted to.
Ryan slumped in defeat. “Forget it. I swear, Wayne’s the lucky one. He gets to tour all the sets, surrounded by actresses every day. What a life,” He cast Wayne a look full of envy.

Wayne stayed perfectly serious. “That’s called work. The entertainment branch isn’t like the investment division. How can you blame me for doing my job p>
Karina rolled her eyes. “Honestly, you two are embarrassing. If you’re exhausted, then what about me? I’m the one doing a woman’s job p>
The men immediately chorused, “You’re not a woman, you’re a demon. How could we possibly compare to you p>
The four of them laughed together. It was clear they had developed an excellent rhythm over the past two years, Lillian felt deeply relieved to see it.
“From now on, I’ll be coming to the company more often,” she told them. “That means you can take it a little easier. Go ahead and fall in love, find girlfriends. I’ll allow it.

Her mind was already made up. Though she had missed two years of school, she wasn’t worried about her studies. Instead, she would dedicate more of her time to running the company. The next step was already Skyreach Group’s headquarters would relocate to Kingston. This Solara office would become a
set
branch.
Karina asked quickly, “You’re not going back to school p>
“Not for now. I have plans I need to see through p>

The moment she said it, all three straightened in seriousness. Over the past two years, their admiration for this young chairman had only deepened. Skyreach’s meteoric rise was due not just to their own hard work, but to the annual plan she had left behind. Every step they had taken had matched that blueprint, down to the smallest detail.
