After the meeting ended, outside the door, Cecilia heard the voices of a few directors who had not yet left the meeting room."Our CEO is really neglecting the company more and more. He's been having his assistant manage the company's operations for so long now.""I know right? I really don't know what the CEO's thinking. He's neglecting the entire company just for a single woman."Blake was very busy these days and had no time to slack off. She occasionally followed Cecilia to travel around and learned a lot working under her.After the lesson learned from last time, Blake would bring hangover medicine with her whenever she went to business events, so as not to end up drunk again.Blake rarely saw Kevin in the company these days. Even Susan, who spent most of her time working in the company, had not seen Kevin in the company for a long time.Blake followed behind Cecilia, and the two walked to the elevator. Cecilia said, "I'll be leaving the company for a while later on, no need
Blake received a call from the hospital at three o'clock in the afternoon.She was working on the Eternal Seasons matter. Upon hearing the news of Cecilia being hospitalized again, she immediately delegated her tasks to other staff and drove to the Community Hospital.After Blake got out of the car, she hurried to Cecilia's ward. She stood just outside the door when a cup thrown from inside the ward nearly hit her.Inside the room, Cecilia furiously said, "Get out, all of you. A bunch of useless people! You can't even keep a baby alive? Get out of my sight!"Blake wondered, 'Child? So Ms. Samford was pregnant? Whose child could it be?'Previously, when Cecilia was hospitalized, Blake did not know what happened. Since it was a matter involving her superior, Cecilia, and she was just a normal employee, she did not delve deep into understanding the situation.Blake covered her mouth at the door, looking shocked, not daring to make any sound.Lately, Cecilia had been wearing loose c
The voice said, "You have to get better quickly. Once you're well, we'll spend all this money and buy delicious food for you."Cecilia quickly came back to her senses and said, "Our clients' matters are definitely the top priority. Blake, after you fetch the medicine for me later, please get me my laptop."Blake did not try to dissuade Cecilia. "Okay, I got it."After Blake took the medicine for Cecilia, she drove to the company.Cecilia used her phone to assist Blake in unlocking the door to her office. Blake then walked to Cecilia's desk and indeed saw a laptop. When she found the laptop bag and unplugged the laptop's power cord, the laptop screen suddenly lit up. To her surprise, the screen background was actually a picture of Zach's back, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand in his pocket. The sky in the picture was pitch-black. Upon closer look, Blake noticed something. Reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window was a bed, surrounded by luxurious decora
That man thought, 'Cecilia is indeed ruthless; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen her.'Women like Cecilia, very calm at work, tended to be dominant in relationships. They had zero tolerance for any form of betrayal. Such individuals were absolutely ruthless when confronting their enemies.However, women like that had a fatal weakness—they could be distracted by the men they loved.Blake still did not know that something happened to Madelyn. She had been busy these days and did not have the chance to call Madelyn.After some hesitation, Blake decided to call Madelyn.Listening to the weak voice on the phone, Blake asked with concern, "Madelyn, your voice sounds a little off. What's wrong? Are you sick? Which hospital are you in? I'll come visit you."After Madelyn had a high fever, she woke up. Fortunately, her high fever had subsided four hours ago.Zach was holding Madelyn's phone for her. She glanced at him and remembered that Blake was afraid of Zach. Just like Mya, whenever
Blake said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm sharp-witted, and I know what needs to be done."Kevin raised his hand to check the time. He turned to knock on the door of the ward before opening the door to walk in. "Time's up. Blake, you can leave now."Blake responded, "I don't want to leave. I haven't finished talking to Madelyn yet."Madelyn said, "It's fine. Zach won't be back for a while. Just stay here with me for a little longer."Blake agreed, "That's right."Kevin felt Blake was taking advantage of her relationship with Madelyn.He nodded, "Mrs. Jardin, if you feel unwell, call me. I'll be just outside the door."Madelyn replied, "Okay."Kevin glanced at Blake's triumphant expression and chose to ignore her as he left the ward.This floor was fully guarded, and regular people could not just enter easily. Kevin listened to the laughter coming from the ward and thought, 'I have to admit, Blake's good at flattering people.'About half an hour later, Blake, afraid that Zach mi
Zach said, "Cecilia's goal is to sow discord, and you've done well on this matter."Blake thought, 'What? Is Mr. Jardin praising me?'She turned back to look and saw Zach had already walked far away. 'Did that really happen?'She could not believe that Zach could be so nice. Back when she was working under Kevin, she would get scolded three or four times a day. She was very happy that she was actually being praised today.Madelyn, seeing Zach returning so quickly after Blake just left not long ago, assumed that the two had met at the elevator door.Zach frowned when he noticed the box of strawberry cream cake in Madelyn's hands. He immediately took it from her. "Did you forget what the doctor said? You can't eat these things as you've just woken up."Madelyn responded, "I just had a little bite. Did you say anything to Blake when you met her just now?"Zach helped Madelyn lie down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He then checked the time on his watch. "You still have
Kai noticed Lana, who had started walking away, stopped, standing in front of him. He asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"Lana looked troubled as she shook her head, "It's nothing."Lana actually wanted to tell him that she always dreamed of someone, a person she felt very familiar with, and she would feel very sad every time. She had been dreaming about this man for a long time, and she did not know why this was happening to her.However, she had been keeping this matter to herself and decided not to tell Kai. She did not want him to worry.Lana thought it might be due to her impending labor, or maybe she was just overthinking things.A few days later, Madelyn went downstairs for a walk under the sun with bodyguards protecting her.She was recovering well, and she would be ready to leave the hospital in two days.Madelyn did not like staying in the hospital. She felt that recuperating at home or elsewhere, it was all the same.A bodyguard said, "Mrs. Jardin, Mr. J
Madelyn still went upstairs to find Kai in the office.He looked at the handwriting on the note and believed it looked like Yvonne's handwriting. 'Instead of focusing on recovering, she's using this to lure Madelyn over to her.'He squinted and pondered before saying, "Go and look for her. Who knows, maybe she really does have news to tell you. I'll take care of the bodyguards for you. You can use the emergency passage in my office. If Zach comes over, I'll text you. I'll give you only ten minutes. After ten...cough, cough...After ten minutes, if you haven't returned, I'll go look for you myself."Madelyn watched as Kai kept coughing. Ever since his recovery, his coughing problem had not improved. Madelyn did not ask him about it, as she believed since he was a doctor himself, he would be capable of taking care of such a minor issue.She left through the passage after she thanked him.Madelyn managed to smoothly arrive at Yvonne's ward. Yvonne was sitting on the bed. The nurse had
