James Watson stared at his screen for several minutes looking at thetest grand opening of a Gallery. Over the bpast /bfour months there had been several grand openings for restaurants and galleries that was causing buzz throughout the Eastern Region. High praises regarding the building often unique architectural designing had be the talk of the town. With eachunch, many couldn’t wait to see what new creative sets would be thought of next.

James smiled smugly, he knew the board had been upset with Joshua about his firing of their original architectural firm. This would be the push they needed to demote Joshua as CEO and appoint him. FINALLY, Wattsb–/bCorp would be hisb; /ball he had to do was find the designer responsible…Elizabeth Bowen.

“Spencerb…/bI iwant /iyou to ifind /iiout /iieverything /iiyou /iican /iiabout /iithis /iinew /iiarchitectural /idesigner Elizabeth iBowen /iand ibring /iiit /iito /i

mei./ii” /i

i“/iYes sir.i” /i

bAs /bJamesb‘ /bassistant left his office, James felt a certain satisfaction. Even with all the buzz going on about the new designer, Joshua made no efforts to try and locate her. For the past several weeks after the grand opening of the

Imperial Gallery, James worried Joshua would find and hire Bowen. But after trailing him for the past several weeks,

there were no such efforts made. He wasn’t even trying to locate her.

“Oh ilittle /iinephew/ii…/iiyour /iiarrogance /iiwill /iibe /iiyour /iidownfall/ii. /iiEven /iyour igrandmother /iiwon’t /ibe able to isave /iyou once I isign /i
