His assistant knocked before entering his room and relayed news of several calls coming into the office, purportedly from Bank B, reporting a gradual decrease of $750,000 in Sebastian Hastings' account.

Sebastian merely smirked and calmly returned to his documents before reaching for his phone in his pocket. Realizing it was on silent mode, he adjusted the settings. There, he received another call, from the bank, the eleventh one. He motioned for his assistant to return to her desk before answering.

"Sebastian Hastings speaking. No worries, that's just my wife throwing a tantrum," he reassured the caller before ending the call.

A faint smile crossed his lips, knowing it was his wife who had argued with him earlier that morning.
