Just as Damon and Kin breathed a sigh of relief, the next moment, the door to the room opened, and Hazel’s sharp eyes darted between them.

“What are you two doing out there? Come in,” she said coolly.

With that, she swung the door open wider and walked into the room without a second glance.

Damon and Kin exchanged glances and reluctantly followed her in, with Kin almost glued to Damon’s back, as if Hazel were some sort of terrifying figure.

Once inside, Hazel went back to her earlier seat. Damon lowered his head and stood in front of her, while Kin stood close behind, trying not to draw attention to himself.

“So you say you’re here to protect me, but why is Kin here too? Does your company not have anything else to do? You two are the pillars of the business, and you’re both out here?” Hazel’s voice was laced with frustration.

She had initially assumed Damon had come because he was worried about her, especially after hearing she was traveling

    If it weren’t for the decent salary, Kin probably would’ve quit by now. Hazel glanced at Damon, who was still eating with great enthusiasm, and silently rolled her eyes. She was certain she couldn’t keep working with such a boss. "We haven't had a chance to eat, and the next meal doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon," Kin said, his voice full of grievance. Hazel felt a twinge of sympathy, but then she remembered that Kin was siding with Damon. It wasn’t her fault if he couldn’t manage his own assistant, so that sympathy quickly faded. After finishing breakfast, Hazel left with Xander. Damon and Kin, to her surprise, followed them out. She thought after all the morning's commotion, they would finally take care of their own matters, but as they waited for their cars, Damon lingered behind, not leaving. Thankfully, their car arrived quickly, and without saying a word to Damon, Hazel got in and left. Damon didn’t follow this time. Instead,

    Damon glanced behind him at Xander, noticing that Hazel hadn’t come up yet. It was just the two of them on the upper floor. “I know you like Hazel, but after being together with her for so long, if she liked you, you’d definitely feel it. The only reason you’re not together now is that Hazel doesn’t like you.” Damon had previously discussed Xander and Hazel’s relationship in detail with Kin and Chrissy. If they hadn’t been together before because of Xander’s hesitation, then after Hazel’s divorce from him, and with no progress between them, the only possible reason was that Hazel didn’t like Xander. However, Damon also knew that just because Hazel didn’t like him now, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t develop feelings for him after spending time together. “If it’s really like what Mr. Price says, then why bother coming here? Wouldn’t that just be a waste of your effort?” Xander was always calm, even in front of Damon, showing no signs of excitement or

    This restaurant not only required a reservation, but they were strict about the timing—if you were more than twenty minutes late, they would give your table to the next customer.Reluctantly, Hazel nodded. “Since you haven’t eaten yet, come along. After all, we’re all friends.”Damon shot a resentful glare at Xander before eagerly settling into his seat.If he weren’t worried about making Hazel upset, he would’ve yanked Xander out of the seat and sat next to Hazel himself.When they arrived, Damon immediately noticed it was a place frequently visited by couples.The restaurant had a romantic and somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, with most customers pairing off in couples—both men with men and women with women, though these were rare. Groups of three or four were even more unusual; most people came in pairs.“This can’t be a couple’s restaurant, right? I don’t see anyone else dining in groups of three. It’s just us.”Damon walked in front

    Damon sat beside Hazel, his apologetic voice soft enough to make even himself feel uncomfortable. Hazel didn’t respond, and soon the atmosphere at the table became harmonious again, with no one speaking or making any inappropriate moves.After finishing the meal, Hazel said she needed to use the restroom, leaving only Damon and Xander at the table.This time, neither of them spoke. They both focused on their phones, and about ten minutes later, when Hazel still hadn’t returned, Damon started to sense that something was wrong."What’s going on? Hazel wouldn’t be feeling unwell, would she? You stay here, I’ll ask a waiter to check on her in the restroom."Xander, also sensing something was off, couldn’t stay seated. He stood up and followed a female waiter to the restroom area.They waited by the door while the waiter went inside to check if Hazel needed anything.To their surprise, the waiter came out alone after a quick check.

    "I think the same way. You should come too, and bring Xander Knox along with you. Don’t worry, I’m inviting you as guests because I want to learn something from you. As long as you cooperate, Hazel will be fine." "By the way, you should know the location, right? After all, you just left the estate. I’ll have someone meet you at the place you were earlier." Without waiting for Damon to respond, the person on the other end hung up. Damon held the phone for a long time without putting it down. He and Xander were close enough for Xander to hear the voice from the phone. In other words, every move they made was being monitored by this person. They were both CEOs—one of HX, the other of Price Corp—who were already regarded as elites in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this person’s eyes, they were no more significant than ants. "Well then, let’s head over. There’s really no better option right now, is there?" Xander said resignedly. Given the situati

    Hazel carefully examined the dishes on the table, and her face immediately darkened. These were not her favorite foods, but her mother Novaria's favorites, which meant that the man in front of her must have had a close relationship with her mother.Given that he knew her mother's favorite dishes so well, their relationship couldn’t just be described as ‘good’ anymore.They were either the closest of kin or each other’s greatest and most formidable enemies.Only these two kinds of people could know each other so thoroughly.From the way the man had acted toward her, Hazel guessed that his relationship with her mother was likely the former."What is your relationship with my parents? These dishes are all my mother's favorites, and you’re so familiar with her," Hazel asked, her voice cold, as if laced with poison. The thought that this man might be connected to her parents' accident made her heart feel as though it were being pricked by a thousand nee

    Hazel hadn't replied yet when Damon's message popped up first:[At a time like this, who cares about the voting meeting? You can’t even guarantee your safety, and you're still worried about work? Unbelievable.]Hazel smirked. Damon wasn’t even trying to hide his disdain for Xander.[I’ll talk to him about it first thing in the morning,] she replied. [Might as well use the opportunity to test how he feels about us leaving.][Fine. If we can leave, we’ll go; if not, I’ll just hold the meeting online.] Xander responded, clearly more focused on practicality.Damon frowned, his brows practically tied in a knot. He couldn’t fathom how these two could still discuss work while their lives were hanging by a thread.[Alright, enough. Go to bed. We need to get up early tomorrow,] he said, breaki

    Harold pressed his lips together and said, “We just met, so you might not know me that well yet. I’m a straightforward guy, not one for beating around the bush or making empty promises.” “Since I said I wanted to talk to you alone, I meant it. It’s about Hazel.” Damon’s expression turned serious. He suddenly remembered that this man was supposed to be Hazel’s grandfather. No matter how things stood between them, some respect was still due. After all, he wasn’t sure how his relationship with Hazel might develop in the future. If it turned out everything before was just a misunderstanding, there might come a time when they’d have to reconcile. If he burned bridges with Harold now, it’d just create another obstacle between him and Hazel later on. Straightening his posture, he looked Harold directly in the eye. “About Hazel? What about her?” “I know you were married to her before, and I know you hurt her. I also know you’re trying to win her bac

    This was the best solution Chrissy had come up with after spending an entire night binge-watching idol dramas. The situation between Damon and Hazel right now was simply because there was no opportunity to push their relationship forward.Chrissy decided to get involved herself and serve as the bait this time."When I went to find Hazel just now, she looked so shocked, like she hadn’t expected it at all. And after I left, probably she and her best friend are already talking about you," Chrissy said confidently.She analyzed the situation with such precision that if the security guards from Queen's company hadn’t arrived so quickly, she would have stayed longer and delivered a whole monologue.Thinking about this, Chrissy felt a little disappointed. She had prepared a whole speech for this, but barely got two lines out before being kicked out.Seeing Chrissy so sure of herself, Damon couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.The way

    Hazel had also considered this possibility, but since Damon kept telling her that he had deceived Harold with his acting, she didn’t think too much about it. Now, after Omar’s reminder, she started to reconsider the matter. Before she could figure it out, Omar added, "Unless his real purpose was to tell you these things, but for some reason, he couldn’t tell you directly and had to do it this way instead." When Omar said this, it felt like a sudden revelation to Hazel. After all these years of planning, Harold couldn’t have trusted anyone so quickly, even someone with the same goal. So the only possibility seemed to be what Omar had just mentioned. "Then what’s his purpose in telling me this? Grandpa, do you think my parents' accident has anything to do with him?" Hazel was confused. She had thought she had everything figured out, but now she realized she hadn’t seen the whole picture. It felt like there was a huge net above her, trapping her in t

    Hazel focused her gaze on Sully, pausing for a moment before speaking. "Maybe. I feel like I don’t dislike him as much now." "To be more precise, after he told me the truth about everything, I stopped disliking him. He has his reasons, and everything he did was for his late brother. If I were in his shoes, I’m not sure I could have done much better." At first, Hazel had felt uneasy, thinking that if everything had been clarified from the beginning, many misunderstandings could have been avoided. But now, after experiencing the aftermath of her parents' accident, she understood some of Damon's helplessness. Until she had clarified some matters, she didn’t want to share them with too many people, not even Sully or Xander. To Hazel, these two were some of the most important people in her life right now. "I still think there shouldn't be too many secrets in a relationship," Sully pressed. "Can you accept that, after you're with him, he’ll hide things

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Chrissy's Big Ideas

    Hazel was almost ready to directly reject him, but after thinking it over, she decided to be more tactful. Maybe Damon had been so busy with work and studies his whole life that he didn’t know how to like someone properly. Perhaps he had seen someone confess like this before and just copied it. Maybe it was something he’d learned from an idol drama from a few years ago—those kinds of scenes really existed in those shows. "I’ll have the security take care of all this. You should head back to the office. I heard Price Corp is expecting a big client today. Aren’t you going to meet them?" she said, offering him an out. The idea of a big client was just a way for Hazel to give Damon an excuse to leave. How would she know if Price Corp had a big client coming today? But Damon seemed completely confused by her words. He asked, "I’ve pushed all my work to tomorrow. And our company isn’t expecting any big clients today. Did you hear wrong from someone?" He

    Once Hazel returned, she immediately buried herself in company matters, dealing with the clothing brand. After this ‘hunger marketing’ campaign, imitation products had started flooding the market. But this was all within Hazel's expectations. At first, some people might buy these counterfeit products, but once time passes and they can master the quality, those imitations will start to look fake. Then, people will flock to the genuine products with real quality. Sully walked into Hazel's office, holding a document that Agent Amber had sent over. It contained some dirt on Bailey, but it wasn't enough to bring her down from her current position. "Hazel, look, these are all from Agent Amber, you know, Bailey's agent." Hazel and Agent Amber hadn't had much interaction, and what she knew best was Agent Amber's work capabilities and her relationship with Bailey. Hazel skimmed through the documents and when she saw the first part, she thought she’d read it wron

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Change of Decision

    Compared to Bailey, whom she managed, Agent Amber naturally admired Ariana more, as she was someone who genuinely pursued her craft. Ariana lacked the calculated ambition that many others had, making her more pleasant and relatable, with a better connection to the audience. As Agent Amber continued talking, her gaze shifted back to Bailey, and she sighed, "If only Bailey had half of Ariana’s dedication, she wouldn't have ended up as the second female lead." The artists Amber had previously managed might not have started with leading roles, but after transitioning through a few supporting roles, they had consistently remained at the forefront of the screen. Even if they weren’t the female lead, they were often standout supporting characters, sometimes even outshining the female lead. Unlike Bailey, who had participated in numerous variety shows and even self-funded her own micro-drama where she played the female lead, it was only thanks to Agent Amber's personal e

    "I've been so worried these past couple of days! Ever since Xander told me, I've been anxious and couldn't sleep well. I even sent you messages, but you didn’t reply! Thankfully, you're finally back!" Sully was so emotional that she nearly burst into tears. She had originally planned to go on a business trip today, but after hearing from Xander that Hazel was returning, she canceled everything and rushed over. Hazel gently patted Sully on the back. "Alright, alright, nothing happened in the end. But the matter’s still not resolved, and we’ll need your help." After comforting Sully, the group sat down together and began discussing the recent investigations and what Harold really wanted. Omar brought out everything he had recently gathered, which was all information about Harold. Mark also took out a stack of documents, all related to the organization and the past history of Hazel’s parents. Once they had gone through both sets of documents, everything st

    Once Damon finally wins Hazel over, he plans to find a similar estate where they can live together, just the two of them. “I didn’t realize it. So, these past few days, you’ve been observing all of this? I thought you were just bored,” he remarked. “However, we haven’t seen Harold these last couple of days. It seems like he left the day after he parted ways with Xander. If it weren’t for Xander constantly sending me messages, I would’ve thought he went after Xander,” Hazel replied. Since Xander returned to the country, he had been sending them messages, but Hazel and Damon were worried that their phones might be monitored, so they hadn’t responded to him. “Someone in his position should have a lot of things to do, right? Even though we don’t know what he’s busy with, we can use this time to test the estate’s security. It’d be great if we can escape, but if not, it’s no big deal,” Damon said, realizing something. “True, after all, he still needs somethin
