It was all good as long as she was alive.
No worries as long as she was okay.
But.
Who's this girl across from Eunice?
Reporting on business with an outsider present, was that really okay?
"No need to fuss, she's my niece, but it's no issue." Eunice's blend of elegance and authority was undeniable, an effortless display of cool confidence.
Jimmy immediately averted his gaze.
Although he had no idea when Eunice had acquired a niece, if Eunice said it was fine, he believed her.
"Mrs. Griffith, during your absence, all nineteen of your companies have been running smoothly. Mr. Griffith hasn't interfered. He said you trusted us, so he left us in full charge. The net profits have been consistently deposited into your account each month, have you noticed?"
"I've seen it," Eunice said with an approving smile, "and it's up."
Each month was better than the last.
"All credit goes to you, Mrs. Griffith! Your strategic foresight planned our future development. We're just following the path you set out."
Indeed, Eunice's direction had been spot-on, and the nineteen companies were thriving, earning respect from industry insiders.
"Weren't you afraid I wouldn't return?" Eunice asked with a raised eyebrow.
