Suddenly, the phone rang. Willow quickly pushed Theodore away. She felt flustered and shocked, gasping for breath.What had she done? She hadn't even refused him."Hello?""I'm backstage. Wait for me, I'll be there soon."The call was from Joey. Willow hurriedly notified Joey of her whereabouts, though her breathless voice made Joey suspicious."Willow, are you okay?""I'm fine. I-I… I have to go now. See you soon."Willow hurriedly hung up, avoiding Theodore's gaze. She said, "My friend is waiting for me. I have to go."She took a few hurried steps away."Willow." Theodore's voice came from behind her. "Did you agree?""Agree to what?" Willow anxiously replied, "I didn't!""But the media already knows about it."Willow retorted angrily, "So what if they do?"Theodore's handsome face, which usually looked stern, now had a faint smile. He said, "I have my pride too."Seeing him walk toward her, Willow panicked. She said, "Don't come any closer."Theodore stopped in his tr

"I think you should come and stay with me for a while. The city center is nice, but there are too many reporters," said Joey."It's fine. I've said what needs to be said. The reporters shouldn't bother me anymore," Willow dismissed."Alright, as long as you feel safe. I doubt Theodore will just leave you alone. After all, he is the CEO of Bassett Corporation.""Let's not talk about him. What do you think of my office? Any suggestions?""It's great! I especially love the couches in the lounge area. But it feels like it's missing something.""What's missing?""Something that's close yet far away," Joey said, crossing her arms and smiling. "I've resigned."Willow was stunned for a moment. After that, her eyes lit up with joy. She asked, "Joey, are you serious?""Do I look like I'm joking? After this trip, my resignation was approved. Once I finish handing over my work, I can come to help you. How about that, Ms. Jett?""If you're willing to come, then I'm very glad. But isn't it

"It's already this late. Why don't you stay at my place tonight? Why insist on going back?" Willow asked.At the entrance of Willow's apartment, Willow stepped out of Joey's car and stood by the roadside to bid farewell.Joey said, "I can't sleep well in an unfamiliar bed.""You're so troublesome.""I'm just a princess born to live like a pauper," Joey said as she waved her hand at her. "I'm leaving now.""Let me know when you get home. Drive safely.""I will."Willow watched until the car's tail lights disappeared at the corner before turning to enter the complex.As soon as she got home, she saw several unread messages on her phone from Matthew."Willow, what's the deal with the news? Are you with Theodore?""Is Quentin harassing you?""Is Theodore forcing you into something?"Willow frowned, unsure of how to reply. At that moment, Matthew called her."Hello? Matthew.""Willow, are you alright?""I'm fine.""I just finished work and saw the news. That person in the ne

The surroundings grew quiet. Matthew took out his phone and glanced at it. The chat history was from half an hour ago."I'm meeting Joey to do some shopping tomorrow. Maybe I can ask if she has time to join us for dinner."Finishing his last puff, Matthew stubbed out the cigarette on the ground. Then, he made a call."It's me."The woman on the other end sounded both surprised and pleased. She asked, "Why are you calling me this late? Didn't you tell me not to contact you privately?""Do you have time tomorrow?"She hesitated for a moment. Then, she quickly said without any reservation, "Yes!""Let's have dinner together.""Sure. Where should we eat?""Let's go to that private kitchen at Sasinhos at around six or seven. Get there early.""Isn't that far? There's a great private kitchen near your law firm. It's very discreet, so no one will see us. I…""If you don't want to come, forget it.""That's not what I meant," she replied cautiously. "Sasinhos is fine. I'll wait for

Willow's words left Joey stunned for a while. "Don't you like it too? Besides, it looks better on you than on me," Joey said."Who said that?" Willow asked as she shot Joey a glance. "There are plenty of actors and models who look better in clothes than I do, but does that mean I can't wear those clothes?""Alright, aren't you busy? Hurry up and go," Willow urged.Willow patted Joey's hand and added, "If you go on a date, remember to wear this dress. It'll definitely amaze him.""What do you mean by date? There's no such thing. I'm just going to work overtime.""I mean in the future. What are you so nervous about?" Willow winked at Joey.Joey's gaze flickered as she said, "Thanks, Willow.""We're besties. Nothing is more important than our friendship.""Yeah."After watching Joey leave, Willow sat back down. Looking at the bags around her, she sighed quietly.She regretted buying so many things. With Joey gone, she didn't feel like eating alone. Just as she felt a bit downhea

"I said that this has nothing to do with you, Mr. Bassett. Don't you understand?" Matthew retorted angrily."You're hurting her."Upon hearing his words, Matthew snapped back to reality. As he noticed Willow's pained expression, he quickly let go of her hand. He said, "I'm sorry, Willow. I didn't mean to.""It's okay," Willow said.Willow forced a smile and deliberately moved closer to Theodore, wrapping her arm around his. She said, "Matthew, Theodore and I already have dinner plans. Do you have something important to discuss? You can join us if you want. Theodore isn't a stranger."Hearing her say Theodore's name seemed to hit Matthew hard. His face suddenly turned pale."Matthew, what's wrong?" Willow asked.Willow's voice brought Matthew back to his senses. He looked lost as he stuttered, "N-Nothing. We can talk next time."After saying this, Matthew gave Theodore a long look before getting into his car.As the sound of the engine faded, Matthew's car disappeared down the

Theodore immediately noticed Willow's concern. He said calmly, "Don't overthink it. It's just a meal. My family is small, so I'm taking you to liven things up a bit."Only then did Willow feel at ease. "Alright then. By the way, what does your grandmother like?""You don't need to bring anything. She doesn't need anything."Willow was slightly stunned. As she watched Theodore slowly cut his steak, she realized he wasn't just being polite.Sara, the matriarch of the Bassett family, certainly lacked nothing. Still, she felt that it was inappropriate to show up empty-handed.After dinner, Theodore sent Willow home."I'll walk you up.""It's okay. I can manage."Willow had bought a lot of stuff, which was placed in the trunk of Theodore's car."You can't carry all those things. There's too much."Without giving her a chance to refuse, Theodore took all the bags and headed straight for the building.Willow stood there stunned for a few seconds before hurrying to catch up.The dr

"Some people have started to feel uneasy," Theodore remarked casually.Clark seemed to have understood what Theodore implied. "Do you mean…"Glancing out the window, Theodore said calmly with his eyes looking cold and deep, "We need to accelerate the process."Clark was slightly taken aback.…It was late at night. At the outskirts of Emperia, a private restaurant named Sasinhos was closing for the night.A woman sat in a booth by the window. She wore a burgundy dress that complemented the elegant restaurant ambiance, giving her an air of sophistication and grace. She looked gentle and hopeful."Miss, I'm sorry. We're closing soon. Has your friend arrived yet?"The woman wasn't upset. Instead, she replied gently, "They might be delayed. You can go ahead and serve the food. I'll wait a bit longer."The waiter nodded politely and said, "Alright."She tried calling someone. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."The woman frowned

In the bedroom, Willow touched Joey's forehead. "Why is it so hot?" she muttered.She frowned with concern as she fetched an ice pack, placing it gently on Joey's forehead.The ice pack made Joey squirm uncomfortably."Don't move. Do you know that you're having a fever right now?" Willow asked as she pressed her shoulder. "Here's some fever medicine. Take it, and you'll feel better afterward."Then, she helped Joey sit up.Joey's lips were dry and cracked. She said with a faint voice, "The water is too hot.""Is it? Wait a moment, I'll get a bottle of mineral water."Once Willow left, Joey struggled to reach the bedside table. She wrapped the pills in tissue and threw them in the trash.When Willow returned, she saw the medicine was gone and Joey was back in bed."Joey, did you take the medicine?""Yes."Willow put down the mineral water and said, "You'll feel better after taking the medicine. If the fever doesn't go down by tomorrow, you need to go to the hospital with me.

Ellie quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "I'm not just badmouthing her without reason. You saw the news the other day."She got divorced but was still entangled with her ex-husband. Also, I've heard that she has a lot of men around her."Sara interrupted, "That's baseless gossip.""Mom, look at this. Is this baseless?"Ellie turned on her phone to show Sara a photo. She said, "I saw this while shopping yesterday. She's having physical contact with a man in public. Is that appropriate?"In the photo, Willow was being pulled by a man and talking to him on the street.Sara frowned. She asked, "Who is this man?""He's her lawyer. He helped her with the divorce case and is somewhat famous in Emperia. I heard he's been friends with Willow since high school and they're quite close."Sara's expression suddenly turned somber. With a loud bang, she slammed the scissors down.Ellie's face lit up with a satisfied smile as she watched Sara leave. She picked up the scissors near the f
