Without hesitation, Darwin walked directly towards the elevator. Once Darwin left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Where is Mr. Solomon going? Without that new secretary, and not taking you either," someone asked. Jackie lowered her voice and replied, "Picking up his fiancée, Miss Ross." "His fiancée?" "Yes." Everyone fell silent. "Ah, Secretary Woods really isn't worthy of him," someone murmured. Jackie sternly said, "Amy, stop saying that. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, you'll lose your job!" Amy quickly shut his mouth.The elevator reached the B1 floor, and outside was Darwin's exclusive parking space. He got into the car. He rarely drove himself; most of the time, Fiona used this car. There were no traces of her belongings left in the car, just like his house. She had cleaned them up, but... Her scent still lingered faintly, a unique fragrance that belonged only to her. In the beginning, Darwin thought she was wearing perfume, but after a while, he realized that
Fiona began by mentioning the Swiss bank account opened in the name of Donald's mother. She then brought Mr. Shepherd from Harvey’s into the picture. There was no intention of involving Donald in any way. This caught Donald off guard. Throughout the afternoon, Donald had been feeling uneasy. He vaguely sensed that blaming Fiona was no longer a viable option.However, he was confident that he had covered his tracks perfectly, leaving Fiona with only suspicions. What use were suspicions without evidence? Donald had long prepared himself for Fiona's pushback."Donald, is that you?" Tony Potter paused for a moment, looking at Donald in disbelief.Donald was someone he had personally nurtured. After the incident of data tampering, he suspected everyone except Donald. But now, thinking back, wasn't it Donald who went to the president's office to get the data?"Boss, it wasn't me!" Donald denied outright, then pointed at Fiona with a stern look. "It was clearly your own mistake, and now you'
Because of the blood loss, after the wound was stitched, she had to receive an IV drip.She only agreed after confirming that the liquid being infused wouldn't affect the baby.With the arrival of fall and winter, there were many people with colds. The infusion center was crowded. Fiona found a corner and curled up there. She was exhausted and blood-deprived, making her drowsy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Miss Ford, who had been gone for a while, came back in a hurry. She bought a can of chicken soup from somewhere.“Secretary Woods, it’s still hot. Drink a few sips to regain your strength!”Fiona couldn't help but smile and cry at the same time.“I’m fine, you should go back to work.”"What work? You helped me retrieve R&K's order, the commission is enough for me to live a comfortable life!"Miss Ford laughed. Then she remained silent for a moment. "I wrongly accused you before, I'm sorry," she finally said.Fiona shook her head but didn't speak. It was impossible for her t
After a moment, Fiona got into the car. It was Darwin's car, and his assistant, Jackie, was driving. Throughout the journey, Jackie expressed everyone's concern for her and his anger towards Donald's actions.Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of Fiona's apartment building. Jackie got out of the car and offered to hold an umbrella for Fiona. Fiona smiled and took the umbrella, saying, 'My right hand is fine.'Jackie looked at Fiona with concern and said, "Mr. Solomon said you can take a few days off.""No, I want to finish handing over the work quickly," Fiona shook her head.Jackie felt somewhat helpless. Fiona nodded and was about to leave."Secretary Woods!" Jackie called out to her.Fiona turned around and asked, "Is there something else?""Mr. Solomon is actually very worried about you," Jackie said, as if afraid Fiona wouldn't believe him. He added, "Seriously!"Of course, Fiona believed it. Even if you keep a small cat or dog by your side for five years, you
In the end, Ashton muttered in frustration, "They will compensate. My boss... is very generous." Fiona smiled and pushed a cup of mountain-style ice cream in front of Ashton. "Calm down.""You're just too easy-going. Those brats in your company dare to throw everything at you."Thanks to Ashton, they discovered the bank account belonging to Donald's mother."As a child, the three of us used to take a stroll on this road, holding hands after dinner," Ashton patted a sturdy Chinese parasol tree on the side of the road. "Back then, these trees weren't as robust."Ashton's father passed away in a car accident when she was ten years old. A few years later, her mother met a wealthy businessman and remarried. It was also the year Ashton was able to study abroad with the help of her stepfather."Missing your dad?" Fiona gently asked.Ashton bit her lip and nodded slightly. "Very much."Fiona caressed her hand to offer comfort.She didn't know who her own father was. Her mother had returned to
Fiona ended the video call. She sat on the sofa, dazed for a moment. Normally, Grandma Solomon would live in a nursing home for everyone’s convenience. She would only go back to the old house if something major happened in the Solomon family. At that moment when Darwin took back the phone, Fiona clearly saw the camera and Miss Ross looking in this direction.So...It wasn’t a business trip. Did they get engaged today? What was Darwin thinking, why did he make Grandma, in front of Miss Ross, video call her? Has he gone crazy? And he's a complete scumbag, not considering the girl at all? She touched her belly."Your father is really something!"After cursing, she felt that she shouldn't have said bad things about her father in front of the child. Annoyed, Fiona threw the phone aside and went back to her room to sleep.Later that night, the phone on the sofa buzzed twice. Darwin sent a WhatsAPP message."You don't have to move, I will transfer that house to you.""Go and cash the 20 mill
Anniston didn't even realize what happened. She still had a smile on her face. Hathaway held a booklet, intending to show it to Darwin.Unexpectedly..."These men... have no sense of responsibility when it comes to work!" Anniston was the first to react, trying her best to suppress her anger as she spoke kindly to Hathaway.Doesn't Anniston understand her son?No matter how serious the work is, he won't react like that."Auntie." Hathaway looked at Anniston. "The Miss Woods you mentioned, is her full name Fiona?"Anniston was surprised for a moment. "Ah... yes, she is Darwin's executive secretary."Hathaway nodded. That day, he went to the airport to pick her up. She saw him from afar. Among the crowd, he stood tall and handsome, extremely eye-catching. However...He seemed absent-minded, constantly looking at his phone. He didn't even notice her until she reached him.Leaving the airport, he made the excuse of having a company matter and took her to the office.Hathaway didn't think
"I looked up some local cuisine online. There's one that looks really delicious, but it's a bit far, and if we go late, we'll have to wait in line!"Over the past few years, the people Fiona had been around were either cunning and scheming or decadent. It had been many, many years since she had seen someone as innocent and carefree as Harold. For a brief moment, Fiona saw a glimpse of her past self before the dramatic changes. Warm and earnest."Okay, since I'm treating you to a meal, whatever you choose is up to you."Fiona patiently nodded, as if coaxing a child. Harold's excitement was palpable. Fiona grabbed her bag and left the house with Harold. Autumn in New Port, with yellow leaves filling the streets and alleyways, created a charming atmosphere. Fiona sat in the passenger seat, lazily listening to Harold's excited introduction of the sights along the way. He had seemed to make a lot of preparations. Fiona responded with indifference, not showing much enthusiasm. But in Harold
