511 The Secret Child

Derek's response was a mirror of unwavering conviction, his intense gaze locking onto Lenny's unsettled form, "And yet this one hasn't failed for the past few years, did they?" he challenged, the question hanging in the air like a sword poised to strike.

Resignation tinged with frustration colored Lenny's sigh while Derek added with a wave of his hand, "Leave it. I am going to appoint someone else to take care of this mess you allowed to grow," Derek declared, his fingers moving decisively on his tablet.
