The Special Care Ward had a spacious room layout. There was even a sofa by the window. Darwin nestled in the sofa. He dealt with some unfinished tasks during the day that he hadn't had time to handle earlier. Outside the window, the autumn rain was drizzling. Anniston left not long after. Jones also wisely left the room In the hospital room, only Darwin and Hathaway remained."Darwin, if you're feeling bored, you can go back. I'm fine," Hathaway considerately said."It's fine, you rest," Darwin replied without looking up.The matters were all taken care of.He absentmindedly opened Fiona's WhatsAPP.In the past, if she wasn't by his side, she would always ask every time they flew, during takeoff and landing.But not this time.There was a tinge of sourness in Darwin's heart.Then he clicked on Fiona's Status.The background of her Status was a cute furry kitten.Darwin had never seen it before.When did she start raising a cat?He scrolled down.The most recent post was three hours ag
Just as she exited Status, Darwin's message popped up again: "?"Fiona didn't intend to respond.But Darwin called directly.The spoiled young master was upset about being blocked on Status. That explained his anxiety.Fiona didn't want to answer. But considering that she was going to run away anyway. Might as well calm him down. She answered the call."Mr. Solomon, do you want to check the time?" she said."What's going on with your Status? Why is it visible for only three days?" Darwin asked."I just set it that way," Fiona lay down, weariness washing over her once again. " Mr. Solomon, if there's nothing else, please hang up. I'm really tired,""You're tired, yet you have the energy to specifically set your Status?" Darwin questioned."Um," Fiona responded.A soft "um" brushed across Darwin's heart like a small, furry cat's tail.It tickled.He licked his lips."How is Miss Ross?" Fiona asked at that moment."Nothing's wrong," Darwin replied."That's good, otherwise I would feel gu
As her words fell, silence filled the room.With furrowed brows,, Wyatt couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Secretary Woods makes a valid point.""What do you mean? Don't you want to negotiate with us?" the leader of the villagers stood up in agitation and banged the table.Johnson quickly tried to calm the situation, saying, "Stay calm! Stay calm!"Then, he looked at Fiona and said, "Secretary Woods, we really need to discuss this matter properly. Making impulsive decisions won't do us any good. It will only delay the project and cause losses for the company."Fiona looked at Johnson in confusion and asked, "Impulsive decisions? Johnson, I am discussing the matter objectively. Did I say anything wrong?"Johnson remained silent, barely able to keep the smile on his face. He was infuriated at being outmaneuvered by a woman.Johnson looked at Wyatt. According to hierarchy, someone with the surname "Lu" should have a higher position. How could someone take charge and disrupt the situation
At first, Johnson thought he misheard."Who's in trouble?""Somebody exposed Mack's dirty laundry online. There's everything from illegal activities to murder and arson. The police are already making arrests!" the person who came in replied in a terrified tone. "Johnson, what do we do? Mack wouldn't betray us..."Before this person could finish speaking, Johnson pushed him away.It was only then that the person regained his senses, realizing that there were also people from the headquarters in the office.He immediately stopped talking."Johnson, that's enough," Fiona spoke up.She had no patience left to watch these hoodlums continue their act.Johnson turned around.Why did everything regarding Mack suddenly come to light at this precise moment?Could it be..."Secretary Woods, is this your doing?" Johnson asked.Fiona shrugged slightly. "Who knows? Perhaps there's a higher power ensuring that the wicked face their judgment. I don't know if the police have caught anyone yet, but I'd
In the end, Fiona didn't even give Johnson a chance to turn himself in.As soon as Johnson stepped out of the office, he was arrested by the approaching officers."Fiona, a woman as cold-blooded and ruthless as you will face retribution sooner or later!" Johnson cursed as he was shoved into the car.Wyatt furrowed his brows and instinctively looked at Fiona.Fiona, who was being cursed, had an extremely cold expression.He raised an eyebrow slightly, "When did you plan all this? You didn't even tell me.""These matters happened during my time in charge, so naturally, I have to handle them completely before handing them over to you, Mr. Durham," Fiona said calmly."To be so ruthless and not even give him a chance to turn himself in. We have known each other for five years, right? How did I never realize that Secretary Woods has such a ruthless streak?" Wyatt crossed his arms, although he still appeared carefree, admiration couldn't be hidden in his eyes."If I don't go all out against
Fiona used both kind words and firm actions.First, she used Johnson as an example to intimidate the others. When these people were panicked, fearing the possibility of prison. She offered them a way out by encouraging these people to actively return the stolen property.Wyatt looked on, wishing he could stand up and applaud Fiona.Amid the chaotic uproar.They retrieved the company’s millions.Fiona looked at them, and the rest of the people dared not make a sound as they looked at her.Most of these people were repaying the amounts listed by Johnson.However…Even blood brothers sometimes need to hide things.How could Johnson be familiar with everyone’s situation?Fiona remained silent for a while.She lifted her gaze and scanned the crowd, "Everyone, are you all certain about the amount of this money?"In the crowd, it was apparent that some of the people gathered were feeling restless, looking suspicious.Those who hadn't lied responded loudly.Fiona toyed with the neutral pen in
Regardless of Wyatt's intentions.Fiona was grateful.Over the years, no matter how well she did her job, she couldn't escape being perceived merely as Darwin's secretary.There were always people who attributed her accomplishments to Darwin.This was one of the few instances where someone stood up for her.Wyatt was in a good mood as well.Finally, he saw a genuine smile on Fiona's face.Even the cafeteria food tasted delicious.After having lunch, Fiona was about to return to the city."Most of the matters have been resolved. You'll have to take care of the follow-up work, Mr. Durham." Fiona resumed her distant, business-like demeanor."Are you going straight back to Bay City?" Wyatt asked."I have an evening flight." Fiona replied.Wyatt smiled.There was an inexplicable feeling of constriction in his heart.Why was she in such a rush to return to Bay City? Who would she meet once she got back?"Secretary Woods, I hope you took to heart the advice I gave you yesterday." Wyatt couldn
Sally was happily drinking her wine.Fiona didn’t say much.She transferred a sum of money and asked her to take good care of the people who helped her.After finishing up, Fiona slowly packed up her things.While tidying up the clothes she wore yesterday, a diamond cufflink fell out.Fiona was stunned for a moment. She reached out and picked it up. She had seen this cufflink last year when she was shopping in a designer store in Switzerland with Darwin on a business trip. She really liked it and immediately bought it with two months' salary.Looking back, it seemed ridiculous. She was well aware of her position. Even giving gifts felt presumptuous. This cufflink was worn by Darwin when he stayed overnight at her place after they returned. The next day, she discreetly attached it to his suit sleeve."I'll take you with me too."Fiona tightened her grip on the cufflink in her palm.Its sharp edges made her hand tingle.After packing her things, Fiona checked out and went to the hotel r
