The man's tone was anything but daunting, despite his imposing appearance. Perhaps that was why the nervousness on Danny's shoulders seemed to melt away, and he found himself smiling.

'Danny, this is the future successor of Arkan, Logan Frederick. I called him and told him about your talents. He was so impressed that he offered you a full scholarship, which is a rare occurrence.

Logan will surely be thrilled to have someone with your potential as part of the Arkan company....—'
