I instinctively pressed my phone to my chest.
“Mr. Jones, good morning!”
“Zach, morning!”
I greeted them cheerfully, my smile appearing natural, but the slight stiffness at the corners of my mouth betrayed my inner
nervousness. My gaze drifted vaguely across Evan’s chest, my mind flashing back to last night–him pulling me into his arms,
gripping my wrist, whispering in my ear...
My ears burned.
“Good morning.”
Evan responded faintly. His demeanor was calm, his cold face like the surface of
exquisitely beautiful ice.
I walked behind him. Taking a deep breath, I tried to dispel the thoughts swirling in my
head.
“New phone?” Zach whispered beside me.

“...What?” I looked at the phone in my hand and whispered, “I accidentally shattered my phone screen yesterday, so I’m using
my old one for now.”
“I see.”
We exchanged a few more words before the elevator arrived. As I stepped out, I headed towards a side exit. Zach looked
curious.“Aren’t you going to the parking garage to get your car?”
“My car’s at the company.”
་་
“...I haven’t had breakfast yet. You guys go
ahead. Bye.”
With that, I practically ran off in my high heels.
Zach was speechless. Why the rush? It’s just a car ride, not a trip to the gallows.
Evan’s brows knitted into a tight line, a shadow of gloom pressed between them. Zach turned and caught his expression.“...I’ve

Evan’s glacial gaze pinned him for three full seconds before jerking his chin toward the retreating figure.“Go. Don’t mind me.”
Zach thought, Mr. Jones, dial down the tragic undertone. It’s a commute, not a eulogy!
I arrived at the company just in time. I hadn’t actually scattered my phone. The new phone and number were for Seraphina to
contact
me.
As I had expected, Seraphina contacted me after seeing the document. She asked what I wanted to do. When I said I wanted to
seek justice for my classmate, she immediately offered to work with me.
I gave her a task: to find out where that boy’s body was hidden.
This wasn’t easy. But for Seraphina, who was desperate to get rid of Rita, she would certainly find a way.
Seraphina agreed, promising to keep me posted. She didn’t ask my name throughout

to use someone else’s hands to get rid of Rita, while remaining uninvolved herself. She didn’t care about who I was.

tablet and went to Zach’s area. This was our daily sync–strictly for
cross–referencing updates on Evan’s itinerary.
Zach said, “Mr. Jones said he was going to New York this Saturday while having breakfast. Did he mention it to you?”
“No,” I shook my head.“New York? Did he say why?”
“No.”
“In other words, this trip was a sudden decision.”
I recalled the mysterious big shot he met the night before... Could these two things be related? Very likely. He’s always secretive
when seeing this mysterious big shot.
Zach continued,“He didn’t say whether he’d

take you or me. He’ll probably tell us later.”
“Whatever. We shouldn’t ask too much.”
Now matter how we discussed it, Even
would still be the one making the final decision.
Zach nodded, deeply agreeing.
The whole morning, we had two back–to–back meetings. Several senior executives were exhausted, especially Mr. Wayne, who
had secretly taken a quick–acting heart–saving pill.
There was a business lunch. Though Mr. Wayne was already in a frail state, he was once again taken to socialize.
Around 1 PM, I went back to the company, feeling a headache. Evan was still energetic. Does napping really improve physical
condition that much? It made me want to set office to nap.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford that luxury. I had just sat down when I remembered I still had work to delegate.

After resting for five minutes, I went downstairs to the secretarial department. Standing outside the office area, I heard them
gossiping.
