Chapter 3 - Marcus Boss Approaches Arthur With Deep Respect And Fear
Richard Vance, the powerful CEO of the investment firm where Marcus desperately sought partnership, marched across the plush carpet. His eyes were wide with a mix of shock and absolute deference as he zeroed in on Valeria’s father. Arthur sat quietly at his table, sipping sparkling water while observing the public spectacle with cold amusement.
Marcus blinked rapidly, his corporate instincts briefly flaring as he saw his ultimate boss approaching. "Mr. Vance! You... you came to my wedding, I am deeply honored," Marcus stammered, stepping forward with a fake, desperate smile.
Richard Vance completely ignored Marcus, walking straight past him as if the junior manager were a ghost. The CEO stopped directly in front of Arthur, bowing his head slightly in a gesture of profound professional respect.

Arthur looked up slowly, his gray eyes flashing with the quiet power of a man who controlled billions in private equity. "Hello, Richard. It seems my daughter’s wedding has turned into an educational seminar on family economics," Arthur replied dryly.
