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

Brian answered the call, and Luke had instructed that the police could be brought up directly."I'm Jen Middleton, Mr. Walker's assistant and a victim of the kidnapping. I'll escort you up," I offered.In the elevator, I wanted to ask about the progress of the investigation but feared causing trouble for Luke.Brian was waiting at the elevator. When he saw me, a flicker of something passed through his eyes before he composed himself."Mr. Walker is in a meeting. Jen, please show the officers to the reception room.""Of course."After serving tea to the officers, Luke entered. His face was calm as he glanced at my wrist."Is your wound feeling any better today?""Thank you for asking, Mr. Walker. It's much improved."The pain was manageable, although any movement still hurt."Hello, we're from Johnsonville City Police Station," one officer said, showing his badge. "We need your cooperation with our investigation.""Certainly," Luke sat down, gesturing for them to do the same.

"A supplementary agreement?""Yes. Regarding the evidence Joey mentioned, I've never seen it," Luke said, placing the file back in front of the questioning officer. "You can have a professional lawyer analyze the contract terms in detail.""Did the suspect, Joey, ever mention this evidence to you?""She did.""And what about the evidence?""You'll have to ask Joey about that."Realizing they wouldn't get any more information from Luke, the officer said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Walker. We'll contact you if we need anything else.""Very well."Luke remained seated, taking a sip of his coffee.After escorting the officers out, I returned to find Luke leaving the meeting room."Mr. Walker, what's the story with this contract?"Last night, Luke had told me he made a deal with Joey. When the police produced the contract, my heart nearly stopped."Joey paid the kidnappers in cash. The day she snuck out of the hospital, she had everything planned. She went home first t

Luke, noticing my confusion, explained, "Before I handed the evidence to the police, Stephen came to me. He said he'd secured crucial evidence before Joey could destroy it. When Joey couldn't find the burner phone she'd used, she panicked. While searching, she learned I'd been to her hospital room and assumed I'd taken it.""At first, when Stephen told me this, I thought it was a coincidence. Now I realize that when she called to invite me to her room, she had already set the stage, placing the evidence right under my nose for me to find.""I had an important call come in, so I answered while entering her room. Seeing she wasn't there, I left. By chance, the evidence fell into Stephen's hands. Knowing the kidnapping case would eventually lead to Joey, and not wanting her to get in trouble, Stephen came to me about the evidence.""Stephen is so devoted to Joey!" I exclaimed, thinking Stephen must owe Joey a huge debt to be so loyal.This incident had lowered my opinion of Stephen.
