"Joey, about what happened back then...""Don't tell me what's done is done!" Joey's voice rose, her emotions flaring as she turned to glare resentfully at Stephen."Why does she always interrupt at the crucial moment?" Wendy muttered quietly, crossing her arms.From Stephen and Joey's reactions, it was clear that past events had deeply affected them both. Wendy felt a strong curiosity, as if a cat were clawing inside her. She was itching to rush over and demand the details of their past."Joey..." Stephen tried again."If you want to make amends, don't bring up irrelevant things," Joey said forcefully. "I'm tired. Let's go back to my room."Stephen stood still, not moving.Joey, certain he would give in, didn't push further.After a few minutes, Stephen composed himself and turned the wheelchair around, immediately spotting Wendy and me standing nearby.Joey's face suddenly changed. "How long have you been here?""I can't remember exactly when we arrived," Wendy said, "but I

"Let's treat your wound first."Stephen pulled Wendy along, striding past me. It took me a moment to react, and I rushed to stop them."Jen, you take care of things here. I'll be back soon," Wendy said, shifting slightly to block my path and giving me a meaningful wink.Suddenly, I remembered that Stephen had evidence of Joey's involvement in our kidnapping. Wendy was going with him to try and extract information.As a lawyer, Stephen was quick-witted and tight-lipped. Wendy had her work cut out for her.I silently cheered her on.Behind me, Joey started to move her wheelchair. I turned and blocked her path. "Why did you have me kidnapped?""What would I gain from kidnapping you?" Joey tapped her head. "Jen, you should learn to think before you speak. Otherwise, you'll make a fool of yourself.""It's your overthinking that leads you to scheme against others.""Without evidence, you're just slandering me. I could sue you for that.""Your threats don't scare me.""We'll see if

Luke's eyes, which were warm when they passed over me, turned icy cold when they landed on Joey.He exuded authority, his gaze sharp as a knife. Joey momentarily panicked and quickly lowered her eyes."Ms. Middleton, please return to your room. I need to discuss something with Ms. Parker," Luke said."Yes, Mr. Walker," I replied, turning to walk towards the hospital entrance.Catching my reflection in the glass doors, I saw my own beaming face and suddenly froze.Why... why was I smiling so happily at the sight of Luke? All my confusion and anger had vanished in an instant.If I had to describe it in a word, it was "dazed." My mind and heart were filled with thoughts of him! I had even forgotten to tell him about Joey being behind the kidnapping!I remembered how I felt when I first started dating Max, realizing I had perfectly recreated my younger self in the throes of first love.Had I... fallen for Luke?The realization hit me like a thunderbolt.I thought about going back

My overwhelming emotions gradually faded as Wendy spoke. I smiled, watching her head to the kitchenette in search of food.Thirty minutes later, Luke knocked on the door. Upon seeing him, Wendy immediately spilled the beans about Joey being behind the kidnapping, like a child tattling on a playground bully."Stephen has the evidence. I'm sure you can get it from him, Luke," Wendy said."The police will investigate," Luke replied, his expression unchanged.Wendy frowned. "Did you already know Joey was behind this?""I found out recently.""Then why aren't you acting on it? Get her locked up!"Wendy touched the bandage on her wrist, biting back some choice words.Luke remained silent."Don't worry, Wendy. The police will handle it," I said."I was just saying," Wendy muttered, pulling out her iPhone. "I need to make a call."Mary had gone home, leaving Luke and me alone in the room.Now aware of my feelings for Luke, I found it increasingly difficult to act normally around hi

"Luke left so abruptly," Wendy said as she entered the room. I quickly regained my composure."He had a business dinner. He just stopped by briefly," I explained."I'm not sure if it was just a quick visit, but I can tell you're upset," Wendy said, studying my face. "You know, a little flirting can make a difference. If you want Luke to stay longer, drop some hints. He's smart; he'll catch on.""Are you feeling alright, Wendy? Asking my boss to hang out?" Her teasing managed to lighten my mood a bit."Jen, you didn't deny wanting Luke's company," Wendy raised an eyebrow."Wendy, my heart belongs only to you," I said dramatically.Wendy cringed at my cheesy line. "Jen, you've become quite the smooth talker."I was considering how to bring up Joey's situation when there was a knock at the door.Before I could respond, the door opened and Joey appeared."Why are you still bothering us?" Wendy said impatiently, shooing her away. "Leave before I make you pay for the kidnapping!""

"He made that decision with Joey because of the company. I'm part of the company, so my apology is just from me personally.""Since he's helped me before, I'll let this slide. But I hope Luke only compromises this once. If there's a next time, I might not be so understanding.""As his secretary, I'll make sure to convey your words to him accurately, Wendy."With the air cleared, I felt somewhat relieved.That night, unable to sleep and not wanting to disturb Wendy, I lay on my side. Scenes of my interactions with Luke flashed through my mind like a silent movie.His presence always stirred my emotions. If this continued, I feared I might reveal my deepest secret to him.He was my father's student who, out of respect for old ties, had assisted me after my parents' death.I was aware of the gap between us, yet I had developed feelings I shouldn't have. He had someone he wanted to protect, and I couldn't burden him with my emotions. Resigning seemed like the best solution.This wa

Luke must be overwhelmed with dealing with this mess, and as his assistant, I was completely unaware of it."Joey's gone crazy! She's dragging others down with her!" Wendy exclaimed."She..." She's always been crazy. She's been on medication for years.Remembering my promise to Stephen to keep quiet, I paused before saying, "Luke wouldn't have initiated this deal. Joey must have planned it."I had suspected this earlier, but after reading the report, I became even more convinced."Do you really have that much faith in Luke?" Wendy asked."Don't you trust your own judgment, Wendy?"With her extensive work experience, Wendy saw things more clearly than I did. Although we didn't know all the details, she had likely figured out the general idea."Joey is playing a dangerous game," Wendy glanced at the gifts Mrs. Walker had just sent over. "Stephen must have played a significant role in convincing Luke to agree to Joey's deal.""Stephen is Luke's friend. He wouldn't help Joey set L

"Wendy...""Jen, I understand everything you want to say," Wendy continued getting ready. "For him, as long as it wasn't Sarah's three kids who hired someone to kidnap me, he won't care too much."Henry was concerned about the potential family conflicts that could lead to a chain reaction affecting the company.Understanding the meaning behind Wendy's words, I stopped trying to comfort her.When I emerged from the bathroom dressed, Wendy was also ready."You're leaving the hospital too?" I asked."Without you here, I'd be bored to death alone," she replied."But what about your injury?" I inquired."Our injuries are about the same. If you can leave, why can't I?" Wendy quickly packed her things. "I've called a car. It'll be here in five minutes. Hurry up, I'll drop you off at the office.""Okay."Unaware of the situation at the office, I didn't want to bother Brian or Zac. I went downstairs with Wendy, carrying my belongings.With time running short, I left a note for Marian
