Julian’s phone vibrated violently against his desk cushion. He snatched it up, his thumb frantically swiping to open his executive email.
An urgent notification from the chief legal officer of Vance Holdings flashed across his screen in bold red text: IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION OF ASSETS - RECONSTRUCTION OF LAND LEASES.
