"Your actions would deserve those two slaps even if she were just a janitor at JL Capital," Luke said in a deep, resonant voice that sent shivers down my spine. His image in my mind grew even more impressive, and he seemed to radiate a dazzling light.In that moment, I felt a sense of pride and honor being an employee of JL Capital.My attention was solely focused on Luke, and I had forgotten that he still held my right hand."Mr. Walker, does this mean you're no longer interested in partnering with Mulligan?" Francis cautiously ventured."If you maintain this attitude, then there's no point in discussing any partnership." Luke turned to Zac, who had just returned with the surveillance footage. "Show him out.""Yes, Mr. Walker." Zac, having seen the footage, looked at Francis with disdain and gestured toward the door. "Mr. Muller, this way, please.""Mr. Walker, I was out of line just now. I shouldn't have behaved that way toward your assistant."JL Capital is a major player in

"Wendy, you're so brave! I applaud you!""In Johnsonville, there's no one who can make me suffer yet! Not slapping her twice was me showing restraint.""Wendy, you're awesome!""Hearing you say that, it makes sense why Francis and Mandy are together—they're two peas in a pod.""A pair of oddballs.""Luke didn't take the opportunity to exploit him and help Mulligan acquire Destiny—his professionalism is top-notch.""JL Capital's reputation in the investment banking circle is well-deserved.""Look at you, all proud. Now tell me, how was Mr. Walker's hand? Was it broad and strong, warm and secure?""I was so shocked by his actions that I didn't have the mental capacity to notice anything else."I didn't particularly notice if his hand was broad and strong or warm. But the moment Luke appeared in the reception room, I felt a deep sense of security. Maybe that's what Wendy meant by a sense of safety?"No worries, Jen. You'll have another chance to fully appreciate it next time."

"Did Calvin ask you to help with my workload?" I asked.Bryan and Zac just smiled without answering."If I hadn't brought it up today, were you planning to keep covering for me? I should have kept slacking off and let you two run yourselves ragged, unable to balance work and life!"Since joining JL Capital, I had experienced kindness from many people, which only strengthened my resolve to work hard.News of JL Capital's refusal to help Mulligan acquire Destiny spread quickly through the industry.Francis Muller came to the company several times, but Luke declined to meet him, citing a busy schedule. Soon, other investment banks were courting Francis.Francis had his pride. No matter how powerful JL Capital was, if they didn't want to work with Mulligan, he wouldn't beg. A week later, he signed a contract with Balance Capital.Mandy, eager to gloat about achieving her goal, sought me out.I was standing outside the company, waiting for a taxi when she had her driver pull up in f

Under the dim neon lights, Luke stood tall and composed, one hand in his pocket, showing no signs of irritation despite the damage to his car. Although the Bentley Continental was primarily at fault for the rear-end collision, I felt no sympathy for Mandy. In fact, I wished the collision had been more severe to cause her more harm."We'll see what the traffic police have to say about fault!" Mandy snapped, covering her forehead and seething with anger. "I know you're panicking inside. Telling me this is just to comfort yourself!"If Mandy was familiar with high society, she should have recognized Luke. Did she really think Mulligan's power could overshadow JL Capital?I later found out that during the crash, Mandy's eyes were bruised and she couldn't see Luke clearly at all."Ma'am, the other car is a Bentley Continental," her driver whispered, trying to calm her down as she continued to curse."So what if it's a Bentley? I have one parked in my villa's garage too!" Mandy retorted

"Mr. Walker, why did you get out of the car?" Luke released my shoulder and explained, "Goofy has diarrhea. I'm buying medicine for him.""Who's Goofy?" I asked, confused. Luke lived alone, so this name came out of nowhere."He's the Husky. You've met him before.""Oh, he's a pet. If he has diarrhea, you should take him to a vet for medicine." Goofy, goofball... Luke's name choice fit the Husky's character perfectly. "There's a pet hospital nearby that's open late. We could check it out.""You're good with pets?""Not really. Wendy has a Maine Coon cat. I look after it when she's away. I recently got a Samoyed, so I've been reading up on pet care to take good care of it."Wendy's cat was named 'Big Dog,' and she suggested 'Dog Junior' for my Samoyed, saying it sounded affectionate. Though small, the Samoyed was lively and mischievous, so 'Dog Junior' didn't quite fit. Its name was still undecided.Luke and I approached the cashier. As I took out my phone to pay, Luke placed his

"Here," Luke said, handing me the wallet.He probably didn't want to owe me anything. I opened the wallet, took out some cash, and handed it back. "Can you tell me about Goofy's condition?""Marianne said he's lost his appetite and has loose stools. Goofy is timid. When Marianne tried to take him to the vet, he hid under the bed. She tried everything, but couldn't coax him out. She said it's not serious and suggested I buy some medicine to mix with his food.""Goofy is quite different from other Huskies."While most Huskies were destructive, Luke's was as timid as a mouse. That terrified little look on his face was unforgettable."He's just a bit shy. He'll grow out of it. Given enough time, he'll return to his true nature.""When he does, you might miss his current personality." Raising a Husky required extreme patience, or you'd be fuming every other day."No matter how he changes, as long as it's him, I'll be fine with it."How lucky to be Luke's pet dog!If he said somethi

Luke's front door was wide open, and he was standing there, looking at Goofy lying on the ground."I wonder if Luke has any experience with pets at all. Goofy needs rest and medication, not to be outside," I thought.I tugged on the leash. "Come on, sweetie, let's go over there."Samoyeds are highly sensitive to other dogs. Before I finished speaking, he had already spotted Goofy and bolted in his direction, restrained only by the leash in my hand.Goofy, being timid, was lying there looking like a wilted flower. Hearing the commotion, he quickly opened his eyes and moved closer to Luke.Goofy was clearly unwell and not his usual agile self. I picked up my Samoyed to keep him from disturbing Goofy, and stopped about three meters away to avoid stressing Goofy further.Luke turned to me, "You're still up?""I'm walking my dog and was just about to head back." I pointed at Goofy. "He's sick and needs rest. You should wait until he feels better before taking him out.""He's worse t

When I mentioned this to Wendy later, she was amazed. She said that now women in Johnsonville would envy Luke's dog even more.Goofy needed IV treatments for the next few days. Since it was late, Luke and I left Goofy in the hospital after leaving our contact information.The streets were nearly empty past midnight. Exhausted and sleepy, I called a car on my phone. As soon as I got in, I leaned against the back seat and quickly fell asleep.When I woke up, I was lying on the back seat, covered with Luke's black suit jacket. Still a bit groggy from sleep, I touched the jacket and noticed its high-quality and faint smell of tobacco.I remembered going with Luke to take Goofy to the vet and calling a car for the return trip, but everything else was a blur.Not sure how long I had been asleep, I slowly sat up. Outside, the sky was beginning to lighten. Luke was leaning against the car, so I knocked on the window to get his attention."Where are we now?" I asked, opening the door and
