"My name is Miles Sterling."
"Chairman of Sterling Enterprises."
The words finally settled.
Hannah slowly blinked.
"What...?"
Ryan looked toward Owen.
Owen looked toward Caleb.
Connor's face had gone pale.
Lucy, who had only just stopped crying, seemed even more nervous now.
The fear in the room changed.
A few moments ago, they had been afraid of being caught.
Now they understood exactly whose event they had infiltrated.
Whose company they had tried to compromise.
And whose name NULL had been casually discussing like a target.
Only days ago...
Someone among them had joked that Sterling Enterprises would fall.
Now its Chairman was sitting right in front of them.
Miles noticed the change immediately.
He sighed.
"Am I really that scary?"
No one answered.
He looked at Owen.
"How old are you?"
Owen swallowed.
"Twenty-one."
Miles looked at the rest.
"Twenty?"
"Twenty-one?"
A few of them nodded.
Miles leaned back.
"I'm twenty-three."
Owen stared.
