"I was just climbing the stairs.""Sweetie, if it's something you're not good at, don't do it.""I won't climb anymore.""I meant, don't lie anymore.""Why do you all know me so well?"They see right through me. I can't keep any secrets."You all? Besides me, who else knows you that well?" Wendy's tone was teasing, clearly fishing for gossip."I have some juicy gossip about Luke. Want to hear?"I couldn't tell Wendy that Luke was the other person who knew me well. Her imagination would run wild."Of course, tell me! I can't miss out on any gossip about Luke.""His family is trying to set him up on blind dates.""Given his age, it's time for him to settle down. Was his recent interview a response to his family's pressure?""I don't know." I briefly recounted my meeting with Mrs. Walker to Wendy. "Do you think his family will accept the person he likes?""The Walkers usually marry within their social class.""Do you think Luke could be an exception?"I'm conflicted. Even t

"Bring her home, and will they accept her?" Luke's eyes were cold. "They broke the agreement first. I owe them nothing."Is Luke's relationship with his family strained? He never talks about them. I hesitated, wanting to ask but thinking better of it. I held back my words.Luke handed the folder back to me. "You handle it.""Mr. Walker, are you agreeing to go on the dates?"I was surprised. Given Luke's character, I expected him to ignore this. His quick agreement caught me off guard."Don't want me to go?"Luke looked up, his sharp eyes making you feel as if your secrets were laid bare.I quickly shook my head. "You must have your reasons, Mr. Walker."Remembering his earlier words, I knew he had a plan."You seemed to trust me a lot regarding this," Luke said with a hint of self-mockery. "Arrange it discreetly, as she requested. I'll play along.""When would be a suitable time for these dates?""Don't let it interfere with work.""Understood, Mr. Walker.""If the Walker

Bryan and I trailed behind Luke, whispering quietly. Luke noticed our discreet movements, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes as he took a seat at the table I had reserved.Luke tends to draw attention, so I had booked a corner table by the floor-to-ceiling windows to minimize disruptions. Through the clear glass, we had a view of the outside.Bryan and I sat side by side, with Luke sitting across from Bryan. Just as we settled in, a waiter approached to take our order. At that moment, a tall, beautiful woman appeared next to our table."Excuse me," she politely said. "I've heard that this restaurant's sirloin steak is excellent. I didn't realize it would be so busy and didn't make a reservation. There are no available tables left. Would you mind if I joined you? I promise to be quiet and not disturb you.""That's up to our boss," I said, glancing at Luke. My eyes silently conveyed that this was Tina Watson, the arranged date for today.Tina Watson was the heiress of Watson C

As soon as I finished speaking, Bryan gently kicked me under the table.He probably thought I was using my position to set Luke up with a girlfriend. Knowing Luke's way of doing things, he'd surely make me pay for it later.Bryan was warning me to stop while I was ahead, to avoid causing trouble for myself.I wanted to tell him that I didn't want to do this either, but I had no choice - I was here on a mission!Luke's expression remained impassive. Seeing that Luke hadn't stormed off in anger, Bryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then discreetly studied Tina, probably thinking Luke was treating her differently.I couldn't tell him the truth, so I had to let him speculate."I can see that," Tina said, nudging her business card closer to Luke. "I wonder if there's an opportunity for our companies to collaborate.""Watsons Cosmetics entered the makeup market a few years ago, didn't it?" Luke finally spoke up.Tina's face lit up. "Yes, it's been a while. You seem quite fami

Luke slid the salad I had ordered closer to me. "Overthinking during meals isn't good for your health," he said."You're sure your mother will come looking for me?" I asked.Luke saw right through my thoughts again. Suddenly, the flavor of the steak in my mouth vanished. When I mentioned "your mother," Luke's eyes turned cold.What kind of complicated history did this mother and son have?"Whatever she asks, just agree to it," Luke advised."Yes, Mr. Walker!" I replied.With Luke supporting me, I felt a bit more at ease....Sure enough, that afternoon after work, just as I was packing up, Mrs. Walker called.I answered respectfully, "Mrs. Walker.""I happened to be near Greenfield Building this afternoon and wanted to see you, Ms. Middleton. Do you have time now?""I've just finished work."Mrs. Walker wasn't just in the neighborhood; she clearly came specifically to ask about today's blind date."My car is parked on the street. Come down.""Please give me five minutes,

"I..." I didn't have that kind of ability!I was about to tell Mrs. Walker I couldn't do it, but then I remembered Luke's words. I put on a troubled expression and stammered for a moment before saying, "I... I'll try my best.""I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, Ms. Middleton. It's just that these potential matches come from prominent families. If we make too many enemies, it could affect his future career. And as his assistant, if his career doesn't go well, your job would be affected too. We need to minimize the negative impact.""I understand, Mrs. Walker."After giving her instructions, Mrs. Walker asked her driver, "David, what time is it?""It's 6:30 PM, ma'am.""Already 6:30? I've enjoyed chatting with Ms. Middleton so much, I lost track of time," Mrs. Walker said with a warm smile. "Ms. Middleton, shall we have dinner together?""I've already eaten. If you have no other instructions, I'll head home now."Mrs. Walker was clearly trying to wrap things up. Wi

"Yes, Mr. Walker. Mrs. Walker informed me that your behavior has offended the Watson family," I reported honestly."What else?""She wants me to help create a lively atmosphere during future blind dates, so you don't have the chance to criticize your dates.""That's quite a challenging task she's given you. You'll have to work hard.""If you could just tone down the criticism a bit, Mr. Walker, enough for me to report back positively, that would be enough."I was well aware of Luke's sharp tongue. Asking him not to criticize at all was impossible. I looked at him hopefully, but my expectations were low."Don't criticize them? Then how about I criticize you instead?" Luke suggested.Luke was wearing black silk loungewear that accentuated his tall, lean figure. I couldn't help but glance at his long legs, secretly hoping he was joking. "Please, Mr. Walker, criticize them instead!"Luke chuckled softly."Actually, criticizing me wouldn't be so bad," I reconsidered. If Luke critic

Julius looked up, wiping cold sweat from his forehead. It was obvious from his expression that he was lying.I handed him a tissue.He mumbled a quiet "Thank you.""If the company head is so busy, it seems like you, as his assistant, have a lot of free time. Your position seems unnecessary," Luke said sharply.Luke's words scared Julius. He quickly replied, "I... I'm usually busy too, I...""Tell me about your usual tasks.""I... I usually... usually..."Julius was so nervous that he forgot what he usually did. Since I had shown him kindness earlier, he looked to me for help."Julius, there's no need to be nervous. Mr. Walker is just asking about Mr. Thornton's typical work hours," I said gently, maintaining a soft smile. "Although Mr. Walker rarely comes to Hanque, he's quite familiar with its operations. If you want to keep working here, it's best to tell the truth.""Mr... Mr. Thornton went out for a business dinner last night and had quite a few drinks. Based on his usual

Luke finished reviewing the receipts and casually handed them to me.I took them, quickly skimmed through, and put them away.A bottle of wine for 23,000? Neil's audacity was astounding!By now, Neil had arrived at the company. Learning from staff that Luke was here, he rushed to the office. "Mr. Walker, why didn't you notify me of your visit?""If I had, would you have been late this morning?"Luke walked to the file cabinet and picked up a Fabergé egg displayed there.The Fabergé egg was in pristine condition and incredibly valuable.Luke held the egg delicately between two fingers, as if it might slip at any moment. Neil's heart leapt to his throat.He reached out to take it, but Luke looked up, and Neil awkwardly withdrew his hand. "I received an important call on my way to work, which delayed me a bit."Neil showed no remorse for being late, as if it were a trivial matter."What important call could demand so much of your attention, Mr. Thornton?""With our new product

Neil didn't believe Luke's claims. He looked at the financial director and tried to shift blame, saying, "Mr. Henderson made several errors in the last financial report. I reprimanded him severely. He must have forged these receipts to frame me out of revenge.""Mr. Thornton, lies can't become truth, and truth can't become lies. If you think I'm framing you, we can have the police come and investigate," Henderson replied calmly.Upon Luke's silent signal, I took out my phone, prepared to call the police.Witnessing Luke's determination to thoroughly investigate, Neil finally grasped the seriousness of the situation. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Walker, Felfast just launched a new car model, and their stock price is soaring. If negative news about Hanque comes out now, it will surely affect our company."While Felfast was being praised, Hanque, their competitor, was being ridiculed. Many online users were claiming that Hanque was on its last legs, lacking the capital to compete against F
