Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 191 Into the Unknown
Reese retreated to the sanctuary of her office, where she found an awaiting text from Jason. His message was succinct, laden with urgency: Departure is tomorrow. Prepare yourself. The details are on your phone.
She scanned through the profiles that had been emailed to her, each one a playe

One profile, in particular, caught her attention a former special forces elite, likely recruited by the organization for a handsome sum. It seemed the odds for tomorrow were not in her favor, but she had weathered such storms before. This time, however, she sensed it might not go as smoothly.
With a sense of foreboding, Reese wrapped up her work at a rapid pace, gathered her belongings, and prepared to depart.
Just as she
e was about to leave, Lilly sauntered over, a sneer etched on her face. “Why the hurry? Do you think you’re in charge here, coming and going as you please?”

The moment Lilly met her gaze, it felt as though an icy draft had slithered up from her feet to the crown of her head, causing her to shiver involuntarily. Her confident expression wavered, replaced by uncertainty.
Reese’s voice was cool and detached, a chilling whisper that sent shivers down the spine. “Isn’t it quitting time, Team Lead Lilly? Ive finished all the work you assigned to me. Why shouldn’t I leave
The entire office turned to look, their curiosity piqued. Lilly couldn’t let a newcomer Intimidate her. She couldn’t back down now, or she’d lose control over her team. She braced herself and
ly felt her resolve wavering, but she was the team lead after all. She retorted, “Can’t you see everyone else is still here? What makes you so special? Do you own this place?”
Reese, unwilling to waste her time arguing with Lilly, pulled out her phone and dialed Malcolm, ensuring Lilly couldn’t see the screen or guess who she was calling.
When Malcolm answered, his voice was deep and cheerful. “Hey, babe Miss me?” Roese relayed the situation to him, “Lilly, my team lead, is making everyone stay late. I’ve finished my work, but she won’t let me leave.”
His previously tender tone hardened, “Head home. I’ll handle the rest
With that, Reese ended the call, her gaze piercing. “Someone will come to clarify things with you shortly.” She sidestepped Lilly without another word and walked out of the office.
Lilly was left seething with rage, her voice a piercing shout as she slammed the documents onto the table. “Explain to who, huh? And who do you think you are, parading around like you own the place?”
Almost immediately, Justin arrived, striding sternly towards Lilly, who jumped in surprise before quickly plastering on a grin. Justin, you came down again?*

The staff erupted into cheers. “Mr. Flynn is the best!” “He is definite my hero.” This is the kind of boss I like. Proud to be an employer of Flynn Group!
Lilly was taken aback by these new arrangements, the timing of which was suspiciously convenient. It had been just a few minutes since Reese had confronted her, and now Justin was making proclarations about clocking out on time. She needed cli

Justin, we’ve never had this policy before. Everyone’s always stayed an hour late out of habit. Why change it all of a sudden?”

Lilly nodded frantically.
“Then go ask Mr. Flynn. That’s his order; I’m just following it.”
Lilly could sense that Justin’s demeanor towards her was off, his tong edged with disdain. She couldn’t recall doing anything to offend Justin.
Before she could
fully grasp the situation, Justin had already turned and walked away.
As soon as Reese left the company premises, she received Sophia’s contact information. It felt like a subtle way to inform her about Justin’s announcement.
A faint smile played across Reese’s face as she read the message. She hadn’t expected Malcolm to act so swiftly and efficiently, likely leaving Lilly bewildered. Some people never learn, always looking for trouble.
Worried that Malcolm might still have doubts, Reese drove to a shopping center, parked her car, and called Calvin to pick her up.
Upon returning to the hideout, Reese finally felt a sense of belonging- as if this was the only place she excitement was palpable when Louis and the others saw Reese; they all wanted to rush up and embrace her.

Reese stopped back with a grin, “I’m a married woman now, guys. Keep it in mind, alright?”
Calvin mimicked a flirtatious voice nearby, even twirling his fingers dramatically. “That’s right, our Reese is off the market now.” Reese threw Calvin a sideways glance. “Okay, let’s get down to business. I’m heading out tomorrow, might be gone for a couple of days. The job’s risky. Anyone up for it? You know the drill, if anything goes sideways at the lake, I’ve got your back.”
They exchanged glances before hands shot up around the room.
Reese wasn’t sure they got it, so she repeated herself, “I don’t think you heard me this is serious. There’s a real chance you might not come back this time.”
Louis tilted his head back confidently. “We’re not scared, Miss Brooks Our li no questions asked.”

Kay nodded vigorously, “Same here, Miss Brooks. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today.” “It’s all or nothing for us.”
Reese’s face softened with a gentle smile, captivating every eye; Calvin clutched his chest. “Reese, stop throwing that charm around, will ya? The guys can’t handle it.”
Louis chimed in. “Miss Brooks, you’re so beautiful, I doubt I could settle for anyone less atter working with you.
Calvin burst into laughter, slapping Louis on the back. “Bro, look who’s being picky. Just hope they don’t turn their nose up at yout

Reese knew despite Calvin’s carefree attitude, he’d be the fastest to throw himself into danger when it matters.
Calvin stepped forward, latching onto Reese’s arm shaking it eagerly “So, Reese, got any other assignments for me?”
