"Did you hear about the minister inviting several leaders from the economic development zone for a dinner tonight?" Luna asked."I know, Marta just told me," Edward said. Luna looked around and, with a strange expression, lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the minister has a daughter who will also be attending tonight.""Oh? Is the dinner turning into a blind date?" Edward said with an amused expression."It wouldn't be that obvious. Someone like the minister wouldn't be so straightforward. However..." Luna coughed lightly."What?" Edward asked."You know how the president is. I'm afraid that when the time comes, someone will need to show goodwill towards him. If he's not pleased, he'll embarrass you directly. When the time comes, I'll need your help to block more of that," Luna said, knowing that her request was inappropriate but feeling shameless for the sake of her own boss."Why?" Edward's first reaction was."I'll just say it casually. If you didn't like it, then pretend I
"CEO, why did you ...” Seeing this, Luna looked at her in confusion. "I have nothing to say to her." Nicholas looked at her with a discontented expression and stood up to return to his room. Luna watched him leave but restrained her laughter.On the other end of the phone, Clarice looked at the phone being hung up and felt a bit strange in her heart; she couldn't help but call back."What’s wrong? What happened? Why didn’t you call me and say anything?" Luna picked up the phone and heard Clarice ask. "I think the president is jealous!" Luna sighed."Huh?" Clarice was very surprised to hear this. "It’s just my guess. Anyway, it’s an interesting phenomenon." Luna said optimistically. "What kind of vinegar did he eat?" Clarice didn’t understand. "It’s probably because he’s uncomfortable seeing you so close to Edward." Luna replied. "But didn’t he want to replace me?" "Yes, that’s why he’s so contradictory." "So, where is he now? Is he okay?" Clarice was more concerned about Nicho
"Don’t worry, I won’t break it." When Clarice heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed."Edward, if there are no further instructions, I won’t disturb your rest any longer. Call me if you need anything." Marta was very perceptive, and seeing the atmosphere between the two, she spoke tactfully."Yes." Edward was very pleased with Marta's quick response and nodded to her."Don’t change again; just use it if it’s problematic. Anyway, there’s only an hour left until the banquet." After Marta left, Clarice was about to change her dress, but Edward stopped her and said.When Clarice heard this, she was feeling too lazy to change and decided to stay as she was. An hour and a half later, Marta called to inform them that the minister had arrived and requested that they go to the Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor.Edward returned to his room and put on a formal suit. His well-pressed suit made him look full of energy and vigor. He looked elegant and handsome.Clarice looked at Edward, w
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the fifth floor!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Luna spoke up, interrupting them.Nicholas looked at her and stepped out, with Edward following behind. As he passed Luna, he gave her a look indicating that she should not interrupt at a crucial moment. Luna felt bitter inside; it was very difficult being a person caught in the middle. She just lowered her head and pretended not to see Edward’s displeasure, and Clarice followed Edward and exited. She reached out to give Luna’s arm a gentle pat to comfort her, and Luna nodded to her, indicating that everything was okay.The four of them exited the elevator, and Marta was already waiting outside. After greeting them, she enthusiastically led them to the room. Upon entering, they saw that there were already four or five people at the table."The person sitting in the main seat is the minister!" At this moment, Luna stood next to Nicholas without leaving a trace and whispered in his ear."
"Minister, I received…"Nicholas looked at the girl and was about to refuse when Edward interrupted him.“Sir, please don’t let your beautiful daughter guide my older brother. I’ll tell you the truth, my older brother’s temperament may not be able to teach anything to the young lady, but instead, he might scare her.” The minister only thought Edward was rejecting his suggestion on Nicholas’s behalf. Although he felt a bit disappointed, he did not show it. He just felt some regret. “Minister, you should also know that the main purpose of my brother’s visit to the city was to take a field trip to see the film and television project, as well as the surrounding environment and so on. I don’t think he will have much time to explore the city. Since you want to train your daughter, why not let her be my guide? Not that I’m bragging, but I’m definitely more talkative than my older brother.”“Then I’ll be troubling Edward. If my daughter encounters any places she cannot handle, please take care
"Minister, I received…—Nicholas looked at the girl and was about to refuse when Edward interrupted him.“Sir, please don’t let your beautiful daughter guide my older brother. I’ll tell you the truth, my older brother’s temperament may not be able to teach anything to the young lady, but instead, he might scare her.” The minister only thought Edward was rejecting his suggestion on Nicholas’s behalf.

As Nicholas, who had lost his memories, touched her, he felt a surge of emotions in his heart. Initially, he thought he would reject the contact with her, but the truth was he was wrong.The moment his fingers touched hers, he experienced a sense of déjà vu. Somehow, he genuinely wanted to get closer to her, as if his body had some sort of magic that always drew him in.It was incredible.If he had known she might be connected to him, he wouldn't want to face her, or even suspect her entire character. But now, the sensation coming from his body interrupted all his rational analysis. The feeling this woman gave him was so intense that he couldn't control his mind from thinking about her.This was definitely not a good sign."You seem to have underestimated me," he said as he quickly withdrew his hand and regained his composure, speaking in a cold tone."What do you mean by that?" When Clarice heard his absurd remark, her expression froze."What do I mean? Don't think I don't know what
"Hey, Clarice, is that you? Are you free now? The President wants you to come to the presidential suite," Luna said on the phone."Even if you don't have time, you still have to come," Nicholas added."The President said that if you are busy with other things, you should put them aside for now and come here," Luna followed up."What? To discuss with you… Ah? You want Nicholas to speak with Edward in his room? I’m afraid…" As Luna spoke on the phone, Nicholas took his phone and ordered."Stupid woman, if you don’t come and try, I guarantee you will regret it." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond."CEO, you shouldn’t threaten a woman," Luna reminded him weakly."Why not?" Nicholas looked at her impatiently."Alright, as long as you’re happy." Luna knew she couldn’t convince him, so she could only sit on the sofa with him and wait silently for Clarice’s arrival.However, even after ten minutes, there was no response from the doo
