If the Walker family found out about Luke's feelings for Joey, the consequences would be out of my control. Even though I didn't particularly like Joey, I couldn't ruin things for her either."The reason he said that in the interview was to divert our efforts in setting up meetings for him," Mrs. Walker explained. "He made up this person to throw us off track.""Mr. Walker didn't seem to be lying," I commented.If Luke had only mentioned it once in the interview, I might have believed Mrs. Walker."Then let him bring the girl he likes home," she challenged.That was a request that Mrs. Walker needed to make to Luke herself. I took a sip of wine, trying to buy some time."Lu is at the age where he should be considering marriage. He can't keep postponing it," she continued. "How about this - you help me arrange separate meetings between him and these girls. If he still doesn't bring home the girl he claims to like after that, it'll prove she doesn't exist.""I'm his assistant. Our

"I was just climbing the stairs.""Sweetie, if it's something you're not good at, don't do it.""I won't climb anymore.""I meant, don't lie anymore.""Why do you all know me so well?"They see right through me. I can't keep any secrets."You all? Besides me, who else knows you that well?" Wendy's tone was teasing, clearly fishing for gossip."I have some juicy gossip about Luke. Want to hear?"I couldn't tell Wendy that Luke was the other person who knew me well. Her imagination would run wild."Of course, tell me! I can't miss out on any gossip about Luke.""His family is trying to set him up on blind dates.""Given his age, it's time for him to settle down. Was his recent interview a response to his family's pressure?""I don't know." I briefly recounted my meeting with Mrs. Walker to Wendy. "Do you think his family will accept the person he likes?""The Walkers usually marry within their social class.""Do you think Luke could be an exception?"I'm conflicted. Even t

"Bring her home, and will they accept her?" Luke's eyes were cold. "They broke the agreement first. I owe them nothing."Is Luke's relationship with his family strained? He never talks about them. I hesitated, wanting to ask but thinking better of it. I held back my words.Luke handed the folder back to me. "You handle it.""Mr. Walker, are you agreeing to go on the dates?"I was surprised. Given Luke's character, I expected him to ignore this. His quick agreement caught me off guard."Don't want me to go?"Luke looked up, his sharp eyes making you feel as if your secrets were laid bare.I quickly shook my head. "You must have your reasons, Mr. Walker."Remembering his earlier words, I knew he had a plan."You seemed to trust me a lot regarding this," Luke said with a hint of self-mockery. "Arrange it discreetly, as she requested. I'll play along.""When would be a suitable time for these dates?""Don't let it interfere with work.""Understood, Mr. Walker.""If the Walker

Bryan and I trailed behind Luke, whispering quietly. Luke noticed our discreet movements, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes as he took a seat at the table I had reserved.Luke tends to draw attention, so I had booked a corner table by the floor-to-ceiling windows to minimize disruptions. Through the clear glass, we had a view of the outside.Bryan and I sat side by side, with Luke sitting across from Bryan. Just as we settled in, a waiter approached to take our order. At that moment, a tall, beautiful woman appeared next to our table."Excuse me," she politely said. "I've heard that this restaurant's sirloin steak is excellent. I didn't realize it would be so busy and didn't make a reservation. There are no available tables left. Would you mind if I joined you? I promise to be quiet and not disturb you.""That's up to our boss," I said, glancing at Luke. My eyes silently conveyed that this was Tina Watson, the arranged date for today.Tina Watson was the heiress of Watson C

As soon as I finished speaking, Bryan gently kicked me under the table.He probably thought I was using my position to set Luke up with a girlfriend. Knowing Luke's way of doing things, he'd surely make me pay for it later.Bryan was warning me to stop while I was ahead, to avoid causing trouble for myself.I wanted to tell him that I didn't want to do this either, but I had no choice - I was here on a mission!Luke's expression remained impassive. Seeing that Luke hadn't stormed off in anger, Bryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then discreetly studied Tina, probably thinking Luke was treating her differently.I couldn't tell him the truth, so I had to let him speculate."I can see that," Tina said, nudging her business card closer to Luke. "I wonder if there's an opportunity for our companies to collaborate.""Watsons Cosmetics entered the makeup market a few years ago, didn't it?" Luke finally spoke up.Tina's face lit up. "Yes, it's been a while. You seem quite fami

Luke slid the salad I had ordered closer to me. "Overthinking during meals isn't good for your health," he said."You're sure your mother will come looking for me?" I asked.Luke saw right through my thoughts again. Suddenly, the flavor of the steak in my mouth vanished. When I mentioned "your mother," Luke's eyes turned cold.What kind of complicated history did this mother and son have?"Whatever she asks, just agree to it," Luke advised."Yes, Mr. Walker!" I replied.With Luke supporting me, I felt a bit more at ease....Sure enough, that afternoon after work, just as I was packing up, Mrs. Walker called.I answered respectfully, "Mrs. Walker.""I happened to be near Greenfield Building this afternoon and wanted to see you, Ms. Middleton. Do you have time now?""I've just finished work."Mrs. Walker wasn't just in the neighborhood; she clearly came specifically to ask about today's blind date."My car is parked on the street. Come down.""Please give me five minutes,

"I..." I didn't have that kind of ability!I was about to tell Mrs. Walker I couldn't do it, but then I remembered Luke's words. I put on a troubled expression and stammered for a moment before saying, "I... I'll try my best.""I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, Ms. Middleton. It's just that these potential matches come from prominent families. If we make too many enemies, it could affect his future career. And as his assistant, if his career doesn't go well, your job would be affected too. We need to minimize the negative impact.""I understand, Mrs. Walker."After giving her instructions, Mrs. Walker asked her driver, "David, what time is it?""It's 6:30 PM, ma'am.""Already 6:30? I've enjoyed chatting with Ms. Middleton so much, I lost track of time," Mrs. Walker said with a warm smile. "Ms. Middleton, shall we have dinner together?""I've already eaten. If you have no other instructions, I'll head home now."Mrs. Walker was clearly trying to wrap things up. Wi

"Yes, Mr. Walker. Mrs. Walker informed me that your behavior has offended the Watson family," I reported honestly."What else?""She wants me to help create a lively atmosphere during future blind dates, so you don't have the chance to criticize your dates.""That's quite a challenging task she's given you. You'll have to work hard.""If you could just tone down the criticism a bit, Mr. Walker, enough for me to report back positively, that would be enough."I was well aware of Luke's sharp tongue. Asking him not to criticize at all was impossible. I looked at him hopefully, but my expectations were low."Don't criticize them? Then how about I criticize you instead?" Luke suggested.Luke was wearing black silk loungewear that accentuated his tall, lean figure. I couldn't help but glance at his long legs, secretly hoping he was joking. "Please, Mr. Walker, criticize them instead!"Luke chuckled softly."Actually, criticizing me wouldn't be so bad," I reconsidered. If Luke critic

We both knew how we felt about each other, but neither of us made the first move to confess.“I gave birth to him in circumstances I couldn’t control,” Molly said, her hands tightly clutching her cup, fingers unconsciously tracing its edge. “I used to think about fighting back against the people who hurt me, but reality forced me to wake up. I couldn’t afford to lose everything.”She hesitated, her gaze dropping. “There are things from back then that I just can’t bring myself to tell him.”When I arranged for Luke and Molly to spend some time alone, the two of them mostly sat in silence.“Mrs. Walker couldn’t have children for years after her marriage. Luke was just a tool to help her secure her place in the family,” Molly explained.Mr. Walker was handsome, wealthy, and from a good family. After getting married, women constantly threw themselves at him. According to the information Wendy had dug up, Landon didn’t exactly push them away.In such a situation, Mrs. Walker, Ashleigh

Molly poured four glasses of juice and sat across from Luke.She looked like she wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start.I gave Ian a quick look.Ian took a sip of his juice and said, “Miss, the juice is sweet and sour—it’s so good!”“Drink it up, and I’ll pour you some more,” Molly offered.Luke interjected, “It’s almost time to rest. Don’t drink too much juice.”“I’m sorry, I don’t have experience taking care of kids,” Molly said, lowering her head. After a pause, she quietly repeated, “I’m sorry.”She was probably thinking of Luke as a baby.I clutched my stomach, pretending to wince. “Excuse me, Molly. My stomach hurts; I need to head back to my room.”As I stood, I grabbed Ian’s wrist.Ian caught on quickly. “Jen is a girl. She’ll get scared going back alone—I have to go with her.”Not giving Luke a chance to respond, I opened the door and said, “Mr. Walker, you stay and chat with Molly. Ian and I will be back in a bit.”In the hallway, Ian looked thoug

Molly wasn’t the type to make things difficult for others. She didn’t give the hotel manager a hard time.After the staff left, Molly turned to thank Luke and me. “Thank you for staying with me and helping me handle this.”Luke glanced at her but didn’t say anything.The silence grew awkward, so I quickly broke it. “You don’t have to thank us. We didn’t really do much.”“Would you like to come in and sit for a while?” Molly invited us into her room.Before either of us could respond, Ian, who’d been holding back his excitement, eagerly chimed in, “Yes, yes! Let’s go!”I sighed internally.Molly finally noticed the little one in Luke’s arms. “And who’s this?”“I’m Ian Lloyd,” he introduced himself cheerfully.But the moment he got a good look at Molly’s face, he let out a small “Huh?” and then turned to look at Luke.Luke frowned slightly, and their eyes met—a silent understanding passing between them. Ian immediately shut his mouth and swallowed whatever he’d been about to sa

Five hours later, we arrived in Sharonville.Before the trip, Luke had everything arranged. After landing, we took a car to the hotel he’d booked in advance.In the hotel lobby, we ran into Molly. She was walking with two middle-aged men in sharp suits, smiling as she chatted with them.When her eyes met Luke’s, her smile froze for a moment, then slowly softened as she stared at him without blinking.Luke didn’t acknowledge her. He walked right past, brushing by her shoulder as though she wasn’t there. From the corner of my eye, I saw her eyes redden.The two men exchanged glances but didn’t say anything. That night, however, they sent two young, handsome men to Molly’s room.Our room was on the same floor as Molly’s. After dinner out, we returned to the hotel and saw her standing at her door with the two young men.Their faces were powdered with heavy makeup, and they looked eager to please, practically glued to her.My thoughts immediately took a less innocent turn.Luke co

Amy messaging me at this hour was probably another complaint about other agencies trying to poach her, or how stressed she was about it all.The underlying message? She wanted me to contact Mr. Lloyd to secure better resources for her—a thinly veiled threat, essentially.Since several popular artists left One Entertainment, the company’s resources had started to dwindle.Mr. Lloyd’s return wasn’t just because of his love for acting. He also wanted to support the company’s artists, giving them more opportunities to shine.Amy had already begun to stand out. If she simply focused on honing her craft and stayed patient, she’d get her share of the spotlight.When Mr. Lloyd founded the company, his goal was to grow it into a powerhouse that protected its artists. Now, he had adopted a more laid-back approach: if an artist wanted to leave, they just needed to pay the penalty fee.Amy’s tactics wouldn’t change anything.I went back to reading my book.My phone buzzed again, and I ass

Mr. Lloyd's words carried a hint of reassurance for me.“Jen, Uncle asked me to create a travel itinerary!”Luke had been telling Ian lots of stories about Sharonville, and Ian had also looked up a ton of information online. He now knew every street in the city and how many shops were on each one.Carefully folding his sweaters, Ian placed them neatly into his suitcase, which was decorated with a cheerful Doraemon sticker.“I’m really looking forward to your travel guide, Ian!”“I’ve already finished most of it!” Ian was a serious little worker who never did things half-heartedly. If he said it was nearly done, he was probably putting on the finishing touches.I praised him warmly.“Jen, since the three of us are traveling together, we need to consider everyone’s preferences and suggestions.”“So, you want to get my input to finalize it?”“Exactly.”“Well, wherever you want to go is where I want to go. This trip, I’ll leave the planning to you.”Luke had work to handle in Shar

For the past few days, Luke has been picking me up and dropping me off at work.Reporters often linger outside One Entertainment, and it took a lot of effort for rumors about me and Luke to die down. I didn’t want them to resurface.Luke understood my concerns, so he always parked his car a block away from the company. Once he sent me a message, I’d grab Ian and head over.That evening, Luke prepared another full table of dishes for dinner.Ever since things thawed between us, I hadn’t said much during meals, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.“She’s already in Sharonville,” Luke said.“Hasn’t she been out of the country for years? Will she be safe there alone?”He was talking about Molly.The Walker family has been a prominent family in Sharonville for generations, with deep-rooted connections and influence. Mrs. Walker is a respected figure, and many people in Sharonville owe her favors. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone decided to teach Molly a lesson on

I watched the behind-the-scenes footage, and Mr. Lloyd looked great. After stepping out of the spotlight for a few years, his demeanor has become even more composed and sophisticated, perfectly matching the calm and collected surgeon he portrays in the show.“He’s as brilliant as ever,” Beatrice said, her eyes filled with admiration. “As long as the co-stars hold their ground, this show is bound to be a hit.”“He has an exceptional eye for picking scripts,” she added, her gaze glued to the screen.I didn’t interrupt her. Instead, I got up and went to the kitchen to check on Ian’s progress.For someone so young, Ian took everything seriously. Standing on a small stool to make up for his height, he carefully worked on brewing coffee, his movements precise and methodical.“Waiter Number One, Ian Lloyd, at your service. Your oat latte will be ready soon,” he announced cheekily.I laughed at his playful tone and played along. “Waiter Number Two will now deliver orange juice to Mr. Ian

While Beatrice chatted with Ian, I brought the gifts to the living room."You're too kind, Ms. Middleton.""Ian bought these with his pocket money."I winked at Ian.He caught on quickly, nodding.Beatrice warmly invited me to sit.Fresh fruit and two plates of nuts were on the coffee table.She placed a fruit bowl before me. "Yesterday's blueberries are fresh—crisp and sweet."The large blueberries were covered in bloom. I took one and made space for Beatrice."What would you like? Coffee or juice?""Fresh orange juice for me, and Jen likes oat milk latte," Ian said, playing with a doll, squishing its face into different shapes.Suddenly remembering our earlier conversation, he dropped the doll and ran to the kitchen. "I've learned lots from Jen. I can make juice and coffee!"Beatrice praised him: "How impressive!"She started toward the kitchen, concerned.I held her arm. "Ian's a quick learner. He does everything properly. We can trust him.""He gets along so well wit
