Chapter 158

• In the living room on Thursday night, Tristan sat in front of his laptop. Neglected for several minutes, the screen grew dim. Lost in thought, Tristan pondered his choice of attire for the upcoming Saturday dinner.
• He wondered how the evening would unfold with both Roth and Oliver in attendance. Would Roth greet him as an old acquaintance? Or would they both feign ignorance, pretending it was their first meeting?
• Tristan contemplated whether Oliver would eventually discover that the CEO he tirelessly worked for was none other than his most despised person. He wondered about Oliver's potential reaction.
