Matthew entered the room again to find Lucy tossing and turning in bed.The sight of her put a smile on his face.‘Lulu, I promise to love you for the rest of my life. It has been an honor meeting you, and I hope we’ll go the distance together,’ Matthew thought to himself.He climbed into bed and went back to sleep, holding Lucy close.…Meanwhile, Hudson was still pondering the identity of the anonymous investor. He was checking online for more clues when the phone on the table rang.Seeing the incoming call, Hudson hesitated to pick up, but he eventually did.“Yes, Uncle Josiah?” Hudson’s tone was cold and subdued.A deep voice came from the other end of the line. “Hudson, I heard you’re working with Leon Corporation.”Hudson knew that this conversation was inevitable.“Yes. Mrs. Leon has a remarkable talent, so I worked with Leon Corporation to sign with her, hoping that her work will benefit our company.”A cold chuckle sounded. “Why didn’t you discuss this with me? How
"For heaven’s sake, get a room!” Seeing Matthew and Lucy hold onto each other for an uncomfortably long time, Hudson felt utterly speechless.Matthew turned to gaze at him arrogantly before scoffing. While Lucy also felt speechless, she found the situation somewhat amusing deep down.“Alright, Matt, you should go now. I need to start work. See you tonight,” Lucy started urging Matthew to leave. Matthew reluctantly left, looking at Hudson and Lucy before departing.“Mrs. Leon, it seems like Mr. Leon is head over heels for you,” said Hudson, secretly envious of their relationship as he wondered when it would be his turn to experience this kind of love.Lucy smiled bashfully and replied, “I’m sure you’ll find someone, Mr. Xender.”With that, Hudson led Lucy to her office.“Can I call you Lucy?” Hudson asked as soon as they reached the door.Visibly taken aback by his question, Lucy replied, “Of course.”“Great. Lucy, your previous draft has been approved for our company’s new cl
"Make yourself at home. We’ll be making a significant contribution to the company together from now on!” Lucy smiled at Lacee.“Lucy, do you have any inspiration for the fashion show next month?” Lacee smirked.“I only found out about the fashion show today, so I haven’t had time to prepare. How about you?”Lacee chuckled awkwardly and responded, “Of course not. How could anyone design the perfect outfit so quickly? Don’t you think so?”“Not exactly. We can just design what we think is the most beautiful garment, no?”Lucy felt a spark of inspiration within.“Why don’t you start with a draft? If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can bring it to me. My office is the second room across from yours.”“Thank you, Lacee.” Lucy found her to be quite friendly, which was why she let her guard down around her.After Lacee left, her expression turned scornful as she looked down on Lucy.…Lucy spent the evening preparing the drafts but was not satisfied with any of her designs,
"You shouldn’t overwork yourself, or Matthew will kill me!” Hudson chuckled.Lucy was a little embarrassed to hear that as she knew exactly what Matthew’s temperament was like. He was so easily jealous that she did not know what to do about it at times.“Matthew can be quite stubborn at times. I hope you don’t mind.”“It’s okay, I don’t mind. I was just joking. Are you going home now? Do you want me to give you a ride?”Lucy waved her hand and said, “No need. Matthew will be here soon.”“Alright then. I’ll be going now. Take care and stay safe.”“Goodbye, Mr. Xender.”After Hudson left, Lucy sat at her desk, waiting for Matthew to come.“Lulu, I’m downstairs. Hurry down and don’t forget to put on your coat. It’s a bit chilly outside,” Matthew’s concerned voice came through the phone.“Okay.” Lucy obediently put on her coat and hurried downstairs. When she reached, she saw Matthew standing by the road waiting for her.“Get in, Lulu, or you’ll catch a cold.” Matthew carefully o
After the satisfying meal, Matthew drove Lucy to work. When they got there, Lucy reluctantly parted with him.“Matt, you should go to work now!”Matthew looked at her and said, “I’ll leave after I watch you go inside. Go on.”Knowing there was no use arguing with him, Lucy headed into the building. However, she could not help looking back at him.Once her figure disappeared from his sight, Matthew drove away.Back in her office, Lucy tidied up as usual before focusing on next month’s fashion show preparations.“What do I think is the most beautiful?” Lucy muttered to herself at her desk.Suddenly, someone pushed open the door, but Lucy did not notice. The person sneaked up on her and shouted loudly, startling Lucy as she let out a cry.Once she calmed down, she turned around and saw that it was Koven.“Koven, what are you doing here?” Lucy was confused, completely forgetting about her initial fright.Koven chuckled at her confused look.“Isn’t the Hype and Elegance Fashion S
Lucy sat in the passenger seat, confused as to where Koven was taking her.“Koven, where on earth are we going?”Koven shot her a glance and smiled without saying a word as he continued driving.About 20 minutes later, Lucy was about to doze off when Koven suddenly said, “We’re here!”Half-asleep, Lucy slowly opened her eyes and looked outside.“Wow! What a beautiful place! Koven, when did you find out about this place?” Lucy took in the breathtaking sight.On both sides of the road where their car was parked, a row of large maple trees were planted, carpeting the road with golden maple leaves. The beautiful scene brought inspiration to Lucy.“What do you think? It’s pretty nice, huh?” Koven asked smugly.“How did you find out about this place?” Lucy looked at him with admiration, making him immediately swell with pride.“I just happened to come across it when I visited last time. Since then, whenever I need inspiration for my designs, I come here.”Looking at the pile of map
"I’ve investigated Ted Chorley, the manager in charge of this project. There was a deposit into his bank account recently, and it wasn't from Sunrise Group but from an anonymous source. It’s highly likely that he’s being paid by both sides to do the same thing.”Hudson pondered it for a moment.“We definitely can’t rule out that possibly because the last time I was in Matthew’s office, I overheard that Sunrise Group had raised the profit share only to lower it again right after. It’s possible that Spades gave him the orders to do so. "It seems like this project is going to put Matthew in danger…”Koven nodded and looked out the window.…“Are the minutes for the meeting just now completed?” Matthew asked Kent as he walked into the office.“I had Sammy finish up the meeting minutes, sir.”“Good.”Then, Kent nervously said, “Mr. Leon, while you were in the meeting, there was a report from Mrs. Leon’s side that I didn’t get to inform you about.”Matthew stopped in his tracks up
"What’s going on?” Matthew looked at the two of them doubtfully.“After hearing about the anonymous investor in your office last time, I asked Koven to look into it, and we’ve found something.” Hudson cast Matthew a glance.Matthew immediately tensed up when he heard that it was about the anonymous investor.“So, what’s the problem?”Koven said, “After looking into it, I think it may be related to Spades. It seems that Sunrise Group might be their puppets, and the anonymous investor is likely associated with them. We haven’t identified who that person is yet, but we’re certain that Spades is still after you and Lucy.”Matthew turned to look outside.Seeing his reaction, Hudson added out of concern, “I suggest you be cautious with your collaboration with Sunrise Group. It’s not a small project, so you must scrutinize every single detail.”Matthew nodded at Hudson’s words and said, “Why are you and Koven helping me?”Hudson was silent, not knowing how to respond. Meanwhile, Koven
