Aveline nodded and went on her way.
In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. "Brother, why didn't you letfinish? I was about to spill the best part." Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. "Take a look at this. If everything's in order, you'll be leaving the day after tomorrow." "What's this?"

He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. "Wait, you're serious? You're actually sendingto South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?" Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. "Recently." Gernard's face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, "No way. I'm not going." Gavin's gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. "You don't have to go." Gernard, sensing danger, immediately becwary. "If I don't go, who are you sending?" "I'll go," Gavin said casually, "and you'll stay here to manage the Cooper family's affairs in Larbor City." Gernard stared at him, dumbfounded. "Wait, so my options are either South Africa or taking over the entire Cooper business while you're gone?" Gavin didn't respond, but his silence spoke volumes.
"Great," Gernard muttered, collapsing back onto the sofa. "South Africa or running the family business. Just great. Can't I just be left alone and live the quiet life of a happy slacker?" "Cooper family doesn't support freeloaders," Gavin said flatly, clearly aware of what his brother had been thinking.
Gernard sighed, utterly defeated. "You're givingno choice." Gavin glanced at him. "You don't have much tto decide." Gernard let out a heavy sigh. "Fine, I'll go to South Africa." He tucked the file under his arm and walked toward the study door. Just before leaving, he glanced back at Gavin with a smirk. "But before I go, וויד make ake sure to spill the beans to sis about your little secret. Think you silence me? No chance With that, he slammed the door behind him.
Gavin's temple throbbed, the muscles in his jaw tightening as his expression grew even darker.
"There's no privacy in this family," he thought, his mind briefly flashing back to the memory of that slim figure.
His eyes narrowed in frustration, and he shook off the thought, turning to his computer to bury himself in work.
As Gernard stepped out of the study, he was greeted by Wilfried walking up the stairs.

"Hold on," Wilfried said, stopping him..
"Huh?" Gernard paused, surprised. "What's up?" Wilfried gave him a stern look. "Is what I've been hearing about your brother true?" Gernard raised his eyebrows in mild shock. "You already know?" Wilfried's expression darkened further. "So, it's true then. What's Gavin thinking?" Gernard shrugged. "I don't know. You know how he is, always keeping things close to the chest. I've never been able to figure out whatever going on in his head."
Wilfried frowned, his concern deepening. "That's always been his problem too closed off. No wonder he hasn't had any serious vep relationships, let alone a girlfriend."
"Exactly," Gernard agreed. "But I think we should stay out of it this timen Dad, Gavin probably has his own En plans." Wilfried shook his head. "No, I'm still going to have a word with him." Without further discussion, he marched over to the study and opened the door.
