The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1218

As the vice presidents chatted, their eyes all drifted towards Conrad, a blend of surprise and admiration flickering in their expressions. To them, Conrad was capable, sure, but not quite a genius. Most of their respect came from him being Presley's protégé.
