Chapter 263

Penulis: River Fish
When Lance first saw the investigation results, his immediate reaction was to think that something was wrong. How could Phoebe have solved Flynn's problem? If someone told him that she could build a repair model like that, he would take their name instead.

But the information had come from an employee in InfiDim's tech department. Lance had verified it multiple times—Phoebe really had done it.

However, he still refused to believe it. He dug deeper and learned that while none of Flynn's staff had actually seen her in action, she had definitely brought in the data repository repair model and the new firewall setup. Thanks to that, the tech department's employees worshipped her like a goddess.

Lance almost wanted to laugh. Phoebe was just a secretary, and she had basically been a live-in nanny for the three years she was married to Connor. He would eat his hat if she had skills that advanced!

He reported everything he had found to Connor, adding, "Mr. Russell, Phoebe graduated from Al

    Connor was in the worst mood possible. He didn't even feel like talking.Sandra studied him before gathering her courage and stepping closer to clean his wound with antiseptic.He didn't push her away. He just sat there silently while she patched him up.She said tentatively, "Mr. Russell, it's getting late. Should I have your driver take you home?"Connor checked the time. It was late, so staying there any longer was pointless. Even the liquor he used to love tasted awfully bitter now.He got to his feet, a dark look on his face.Sandra quickly called Larry and asked him to bring the car to the club entrance.…On the ride home, Connor kept his eyes closed, trying to rest. His head was fuzzy from the alcohol, but sleep wouldn't come.When the car finally stopped, he slowly opened his eyes, got out, and headed inside.The house was pitch-black. He flipped on the lights to find the huge living room empty. No one was waiting on the couch."Laura," he called.There was no answ

    Gideon asked, "Do you want the truth?"Phoebe was caught off guard. She glanced over at him, felt like she'd been burned by the look in his eyes, and quickly looked back at the road. She hesitantly said, "…Yeah.""Because of what happened last night."She tightened her grip on the steering wheel."I wanted to get back sooner," Gideon said. "But by the time we did, it was already late. I didn't want to bother you and was just planning to grab dinner. That's when I ran into you."He had been thinking about last night's incident all day.Phoebe squeezed the wheel even harder. She hadn't dwelled on it much, but he'd taken it seriously. This was what it felt like to have someone actually care.Her mind suddenly felt all jumbled. She started thinking about the two of them having to pretend to be a couple for the next two years, and even live together.If Gideon stayed distant and aloof—only interacting with her when they had to put on an act and otherwise keeping to himself—it prob

    Unfortunately, Simon had never developed actual feelings for any of those women.Alexandra was different. With her, Simon just wanted to be around her so they could keep falling into bed together.Naturally, he couldn't say that outright. So, he went with something that was close to the truth. "It was love at first sight.""You never used to be like this," Gideon said."And that's why fate's a funny thing. Alexandra's not like the others." Simon sighed dramatically. "I've figured it out—growing feelings over time isn't for me. Love at first sight is what real passion feels like."He continued, "If I fell back into my old ways and developed feelings just from spending time with someone, it would basically mean I didn't care much about who that person was. I just need to hang out with a woman long enough to fall for her. It takes away some of that spark and the rush of hormones."He grinned. "The most important part is that she's one of a kind! Any other woman just doesn't cut it.

    Gideon asked, "Anything else?""There are still plenty of good people in the world. Many guys could meet that first requirement, but not many actually deserve Phoebe." Alexandra continued, "I'll be honest with you, Mr. Blackwood."Phoebe is the most amazing person I've met—hands down. Maybe I'm biased because I'm her best friend, but even objectively, she's exceptional. For instance, her professional skills and how quickly she learns things are not something just about anyone can keep up with."Sometimes, I almost wish she could stay single forever. There just aren't that many men worthy of her! If I had to pick, the guy would need serious status, be handsome, have a great body, and be loaded. His net worth would have to top mine, at least. If he can't even measure up to me, I wouldn't be impressed at all."Alexandra looked at Gideon. "Mr. Blackwood, you know very well that Phoebe has gone through a rough marriage. She's learned her lesson, and after the divorce, everything she d

    Alexandra was about to pour everyone some refreshing drinks when Gideon suddenly spoke up. "Simon, go help her.""Fine, fine. I'll do the heavy lifting. That's what I get for being the unlucky one." Simon was ridiculously easy to boss around.Phoebe couldn't help but laugh. She felt like she'd been smiling and laughing nonstop all night.Alexandra led Simon off to grab the drinks.Once the two of them weren't looking, Gideon suddenly took Phoebe's hand. She turned to him, surprised.He said, "Stay here for a bit. I need to talk to Alexandra about something."Phoebe's first response was, "Is this about Connor?"Gideon was probably planning to deal with him and needed more details to report to Philip. Having someone powerful in her corner was the best thing ever—she didn't need to worry about a single thing."Yeah," he answered. His gaze then drifted to her lips.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alexandra heading back, so he let go of Phoebe's hand and stood.Alexandra noti

    Phoebe was busy trying to keep the peace between Simon and Alexandra, who were low-key competing for her attention, when she looked down and noticed the perfect piece of fish on her plate. Gideon had deboned it for her.When did he even do that? Were those flawless hands of his capable of something so delicate?Simon was just as shocked. He looked like he'd discovered a whole new world. "Damn, you're so domestic."Gideon shot him a look.Simon let out a dramatic whistle and whined, "I want one, too! I want it! I—"Gideon's gaze took on a warning edge. "Shut it."Then, he picked another piece of fish, carefully removed every last bone, and placed it on Phoebe's plate as everyone watched.Phoebe had yet to eat the first piece of fish, so he commanded, "Eat it in one bite."She did exactly that, like she was under a spell. She swallowed it after a few chews, chasing it down with a sip of broth. Only after it hit her stomach did she realize how hungry she actually was.And Ronald'
