Marcia stared at him in disbelief, retorting, "Sir, you were the one who said this is a place of work!"

Elijah's gaze darkened for a moment, then he gave a faint smile. "Exactly. Consider this a warning."

"A warning?"

With a calm expression, Elijah returned to his usual aloof demeanor. "Patricia, men and women aren't the same. Even a simple gesture, like flipping your hair, could be misinterpreted as an invitation."

"How is that my fault?" Marcia replied coolly, her frustration barely hidden.

First, he implied she was slutty, then kissed her out of nowhere, only to call it a "warning"?

If she weren't relying on him to help her take down Alan, Marcia would've loved nothing more than to slap him!

Elijah's lips curved into a faint, mesmerizing smile. "You've given me quite an enticing gift, Patricia. I despise women who throw themselves at men, especially when they have ulterior motives."

Marcia looked at him, visibly angry. "I don't understand what you mean. You're the one who kissed me

    Kevin got out of the car and opened the passenger door for her, frowning slightly. "You didn't recognize me at all? And, for the record, I'm not an Uber driver! Please, this lovely lady, get in!"Marcia found the situation both amusing and oddly fated.As she sat down, she felt a bit more relaxed and teased, "I should've guessed, with how insistent you were on chatting me up! I was starting to think my charm was truly irresistible!"Remembering how talkative he was the day before, Marcia found his antics a bit less annoying today.Kevin sighed dramatically, feigning disappointment. "I really thought my good looks were unforgettable! You broke my heart, you know! The whole day, you were dodging me like I had the plague! Yesterday, I practically poured my heart out, just short of sharing my bank account password!"Marcia blinked, stunned by his dramatics, but she quickly remembered something. "So about that 300 dollars...aren't you going to give that back? We're coworkers, after all, do

    Kevin froze, stunned by Marcia's words.Marcia wasn't even sure who she was speaking to, her voice growing colder as she continued, "By my age, I don't believe in love, nor do I look forward to it. Movie plots are fine to watch for entertainment, but taking them seriously? Ridiculous! Do you know why the male lead actually got with the female lead?"Kevin responded instinctively, "Because he fell in love with her at first sight...""Love at first sight? Let's be honest—it's because she's beautiful. Would you fall for someone unattractive at first sight?" Marcia's tone was laced with sarcasm.Kevin frowned but listened as she went on, "Men are shallow, yet consistent. They'll act impulsively without much thought, led by... well, you know what. Maybe he's in love with her now, but once she ages, he'll find someone else."Kevin protested, "They have a real connection! They wouldn't just break up so easily!""A real connection?" Marcia laughed, though her words were harsh. "Professor Fran

    Claire hurriedly grabbed Marcia's hand, her tone unwavering. "How could that be? It's me, Claire! Don't you remember? I worked by your side for three years—I could never mistake you for someone else!"Her voice was loud with excitement, her face flushed with emotion.Marcia felt both touched and helpless. Seeing people nearby starting to stare, she whispered, "Don't get so worked up. Let's find somewhere to sit and talk, okay? We're blocking the path here."They found a quiet corner in Starbucks.Marcia had deliberately chosen the farthest corner to avoid drawing attention, though Claire, with her tear-streaked face, was already attracting curious glances.Marcia sighed and spoke softly, "For now, I go by Patricia, not Marcia."She only told Claire about discovering Alan and Kate's betrayal and her father's sudden death, saying she was so devastated that she went abroad for a while to recover.She left out the part about Alan killing her unborn child and pushing her father to his deat

    Marcia looked up at Claire. "Did she ever bring the child back for a follow-up?"Claire shook her head. "No, she didn't! My boyfriend said she looked at the child like she wanted to kill him!"Marcia chuckled softly, deciding not to dwell on the topic. They chatted on about various things, and Claire mentioned she was getting married soon. Marcia was genuinely happy for her.Before they knew it, the café was almost empty, and Marcia realized with a start that it was nearly midnight. They had downed more coffee than they'd planned, and the conversation had only become more animated."Why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Claire said, grabbing Marcia's arm and pouting. "I don't want to say goodbye yet!"Marcia thought about it. She wasn't sure she was ready to face Elijah anyway, so she nodded and smiled. "Since I don't have anywhere else to go tonight, I'll take you up on that offer!"The two walked hand in hand down the quiet street, now mostly deserted due to the late hour."So, C

    "Sorry, the number you are trying to reach is currently switched off..."Hearing the cold, automated message on the other end, Elijah felt an unfamiliar urge to throw something.Agitated, he stood up and moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the dimly lit street, empty except for the occasional streetlamp. His frown deepened.Elijah couldn't pinpoint exactly what was bothering him.But ever since Andrew had returned, saying, "Sir, by the time I got downstairs, Patricia had already left in a red Cadillac. Someone else picked her up," his mood had only gotten worse.A red Cadillac. Who else could it be but Kevin?"In a month, I'll be her favorite!" Kevin's smug confidence flashed in his mind, sparking an unsettling sense of betrayal.Keeping his tone even, Elijah replied with a simple "Alright. You can clock out now."Andrew respectfully left but added before departing, "Sir, I'm sure Patricia will be back soon. She's a principled person—you don't need to worry."Elijah s

    "Good morning, sir!"Elijah stood close by, yet his voice seemed to drift over from a distance, carrying an icy, chilling tone. "Booth, weren't you supposed to conduct an on-site inspection at Calderstones? Why haven't you left yet?"Calderstones? Marcia couldn't help but glance at Elijah in surprise. Inspections were usually the responsibility of the marketing or planning departments—what business would Human Resources have there?Booth broke out in a cold sweat. "Sir, I... I'll head out immediately!"Elijah said indifferently, "Make sure to check every inch thoroughly. If I find even a single mistake..."Booth instinctively straightened. "Yes, sir!" He then hurriedly exited.Marcia looked at Elijah uneasily. "I'm sorry, sir, I'm late.""Late?" Elijah sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. "You might as well not have come at all."Flustered, Marcia stammered, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be late."Elijah's cold gaze ran over her disheveled hair and slightly wrinkled dress, and he

    Marcia looked at Kevin with suspicion, pushing him away. "Why did you lie to us? Let go of me! Didn't I make myself clear yesterday?"Kevin whistled lightly, smiling. "Clear, but useless! I was just out enjoying myself yesterday, but when I heard this morning that Elijah was giving you a hard time, I thought I'd step in to save you."Realizing his intentions, Marcia sighed, "Thank you, but it really wasn't necessary. I was late; he had every right to be upset."Kevin studied her for a moment before saying, "Do you really think he was mad just because you were late?""What else would it be?""It's just some advice, or perhaps a warning," Kevin said with a sigh, his voice softer. "You shouldn't get too close to him. Eli's about to marry Nicole."Marcia gave a small smile. "I'm only his secretary.""If you say so." As the elevator doors opened, Kevin quickly wrapped himself around Marcia again, leaning in close to her ear. "You know, he called me last night, asking where I was."Marcia,

    Marcia continued, "You're publicly declaring your intent to abandon this poor child. Do you realize that's a criminal offense?"Some of the women in the crowd, holding their children, couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward. "Yes, it's despicable! If you call the police, I'll testify for you!" said one."I will too!" another chimed in.More people started to gather, all glaring at Dinah.Flustered, Dinah swallowed hard and snapped, "This is a family matter—why do you care? Call the police if you want!" She pointed at Marcia angrily. "And you! You pushed me! I can report you for assault, too!"Marcia gave her a cold look. "Framing me now? Go ahead, call them!"One bystander shouted, "We didn't see her hit you! You call the cops, lady; we'll testify on her behalf!""Yes, we'll be witnesses; she didn't lay a finger on you!"Dinah's face turned pale with anger, and she glared at Marcia, her whole body trembling.Kate, meanwhile, stood off to the side, clutching her child, too st

    Her hand fumbled across the bed, finally reaching the bedside lamp. "You lunatic! It's your fault, not mine. Why do you always blame others? Kate left with someone else—what does that have to do with me? Let go of me!"She rolled her eyes in defiance, but her arms were too weak to resist. Just a little more, and she could grab the lamp...Alan's eyes burned crimson with rage. "It's all your fault! I was fine with Kate before you came along! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have given her to Harold. That bastard said he just wanted her for one night, but now he won't return her! He's no different from Elijah—both beasts! No, fools! Secondhand goods, and yet they enjoy it so much! Is every woman I've been with so desirable? Marcia, tell me—who's better, huh?!"He lost all reason, furiously trying to tear off Marcia's pants. But in his drunken state, he couldn't manage. Frustrated, he pressed against her through her clothes and shouted, "Say it!

    Meanwhile, back in his room, Booth snapped out of his daze.Covered in sweat and grime, he had no interest in showering after his conversation with Jane. Instead, he slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly into the distance.It was unclear how long he sat there before irritation drove him to his feet. Booth stormed into the bathroom, peeled off his shirt, and splashed cold water onto his face. Suddenly, something didn't feel right.Jane was staying on the 17th floor—that much he remembered clearly. So why had he seen her waiting for the elevator on the 22nd floor? This was a hotel, not a crowded office building where people often rode the elevator in the wrong direction just to secure a spot.A suspicion crept into Booth's mind—Jane was hiding something from him. He couldn't explain the feeling, but his instincts rarely failed him.Pulling out his phone, he tried calling her, only to find her phone was turned off."Damn it,"

    Calvin walked into the hotel lobby and spotted the manager, Charles, speaking on the phone at the front desk.The moment Charles saw Calvin, he hung up immediately and greeted him respectfully. "Sir, would you like me to arrange a car for you?"Calvin raised an eyebrow. "Your efficiency is quite impressive.""My apologies for earlier, sir. I hope you'll forgive us," Charles said with a polite smile.Calvin replied casually, "You were just doing your job, ensuring the guests are taken care of. By the way, she...""Please rest assured, sir. We'll take excellent care of her. Mr. Elijah has already instructed us," Charles responded quickly, knowing exactly who Calvin was referring to.Calvin chuckled. "Seems like he's not too busy in America.""He's just concerned about his wife, that's all. Sir, this way, please. Your car is ready." Charles gestured respectfully. Calvin glanced in the direction Charles indicated, seeing a black Mercedes-Benz van parked at the entrance.Calvin gave Charle

    Jane reached out to steady Marcia's back and said softly, "Sir, my name is Jane. May I ask for yours? I joined Sin Corporation the same year as Patricia—quite the coincidence, isn't it?"Calvin frowned slightly at Jane's sudden familiarity but answered curtly, "Calvin."Unbothered by his aloofness, Jane smiled and scanned the room numbers as they walked. "Oh, here it is—2711! Calvin, I almost forgot. Do you have her room card? Without it, we can't get in."After a moment of hesitation, Calvin handed Marcia's bag to Jane. "It should be in her bag. Check inside."Jane accepted the bag cheerfully and rummaged through it. "Found it!"She held up the card and swiped it against the door lock. With a soft beep, the door to 2711 clicked open."Come in, Calvin," Jane said, stepping aside.Calvin nodded and entered quickly, not noticing that Jane discreetly slipped the room card into her own pocket instead of returning it to the bag."Lay her down on the bed," Jane suggested. She glanced at Cal

    Calvin didn't drive. Partly because he had been drinking, and partly because it had been a long time since he had been this close to Marcia.Marcia was light as a feather on his back as he slowly carried her toward the hotel.He had grown used to keeping track of Marcia's every move, but her heart had always been out of his reach.As a child, Marcia would cling to his arm with a sweet smile, half-coquettish, half-pleading, as she said, "Calvin, when I grow up, let's get married, okay?"She was just speaking innocent words of a child, but he took them seriously.Her casual remark stayed with him all these years. He had waited for her to grow up, imagining her as his perfect bride. But when she finally did, she showed up holding Alan's hand."Calvin, this is Alan. I...I want to marry him. You're the most important person to me, so you're the first to know," she said.Back then, Alan was a nobody, his humble demeanor barely concealed by his clean, smiling face.Calvin couldn't recall wha

    Some people completely lose their memory once they get drunk.After just three glasses of red wine, Marcia had already lost all self-control.Kevin was slightly better off, still holding on to a sliver of rationality as Booth supported him. Kevin managed to exchange a few polite words with Bill and Cliff, ensuring they left the Cote Bistro with the contract in hand.Only after confirming its authenticity did Kevin collapse onto the sofa in the lobby, refusing to move no matter how hard Booth tried.After a chaotic mess, Booth entrusted Kevin to the lobby manager and went back to look for Marcia, only to find Calvin already carrying her. "I'll take her back to the hotel," Calvin said indifferently before striding off.Booth instinctively wanted to follow but was stopped by a waiter. Apparently, someone else had passed out in the private room.Pushing open the door, Booth found Myron slumped awkwardly in a corner, dozing.What's worse than one drunk person? Two drunk people—and worse st

    Kevin's eyes were slightly red, but he let out a hearty laugh. "Look at what you're saying. It's an honor for Azure to have you both here today!"With that, he downed another glass of red wine.Marcia hadn't expected him to drink so heavily and looked at him with concern. Just as she was about to intervene, Myron gently shook his head. "Gentlemen, Kevin is like a brother to me. We're mainly here to catch up today, so I won't say too much. Let me also raise a glass to you both! Even though Eli isn't here, I hope you'll consider working with us on my behalf."After speaking, Myron downed his glass in one go. This time, Bill and Cliff clinked glasses with him and took a sip of their own drinks.Bill set his glass down and chuckled. "Myron, I'll toast with you today, but next time, you'd better bring a wife, or marry Nancy already! Otherwise, don't even think about getting me to drink again."Cliff, after finishing his glass, was stopped by Alison, who took over drinking on his behalf.Ma

    After laughing, Marcia felt she had been too distant with Calvin, so she smiled at him and said, "Calvin, since you've returned to the country, I haven't properly hosted you. When are you heading back to Liverpool? Let me treat you to a meal before then.""I'll contact you after I get there," Calvin replied with a gentle smile, raising his glass toward her.Marcia nodded firmly and responded enthusiastically, "Alright."Just then, there was a knock at the door.Knock, knock, knock...As they were chatting, Booth pushed the door open and entered."Ma'am, everyone has arrived!" Booth announced.Marcia and Kevin exchanged a glance before quickly heading toward the door. Three individuals entered slowly as introductions were made, and the group exchanged pleasantries before taking their seats with smiles all around.Due to Elijah's influence, the guests were exceptionally polite. Myron also played the perfect mediator, lightening the atmosphere with a few jokes, making everyone laugh.Mar

    Calvin looked at Marcia's surprised expression and let a faint smile tug at the corners of his lips. "Are you really that shocked to see me?" he asked softly.Marcia shook her head with a light laugh. "I should be asking you that! You disappeared from the hospital that day without a word. What brings you here?""Elijah personally invited me. It's hard to say no to his invitations, don't you think?" Calvin chuckled. "I'm here representing Shine Glow Group."Kevin, who had been wearing a playful expression, paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow curiously. "SG Group?""The owner of SG, John Linton, is my uncle. He's not feeling well and specifically asked me to attend in his place," Calvin explained, extending a hand toward Kevin. "I'm Calvin, Marcia's childhood friend."Marcia couldn't help but laugh. "We grew up as neighbors. He's closer to me than a real brother. But wait—how did I not know John was your uncle? You don't even share the same last name!""It's through my mother's side
