Xavier Grayson paused his work, lost in deep thought. "Go down to the design department."

Ubba looked completely bewildered.

It took him a few seconds to catch on, a lightbulb going off in his head. "Boss... do you mean go check on Chloe?"

"Mm. Report back the second you notice anything."

"Yes, Boss," Ubba replied with a resigned sigh.

He was practically turning into the boss's personal errand boy—specifically, an errand boy assigned to stalk Chloe. If he'd known it would come to this, he would

    Under the brilliantly lit stage, she smiled as she stepped into the spotlight, standing out like a graceful black swan."Designer Chloe, your work is exceptional. I'm confident you'll achieve even greater heights moving forward," Benedict said, handing the gleaming trophy into her hands."Thank you, Benedict!" Chloe Bishop's voice trembled with emotion."Designer Chloe, would you like to share a few words as you accept your award?" the host prompted gently from the side.Clutching the heavy, substantial award, her eyes grew hot, and tears shimmered on the edge of her lashes. Despite the joyous occasion, a sudden wave of sorrow made her want to cry."To be honest... I truly never expected to win this award, especially since there are so many people far more talented than I am. But I'm overwhelmingly happy because I didn't let my mother down. If only she could have been here in the audience to see this..."Benedict gently patted her shoulder. "I'm certain she is watching from above, and

    "Just focus on attending the gala properly and don't make a fool of yourself like last time. Otherwise, you'll end up dragging down the Grayson Corporation's reputation."His words cascaded over her like a bucket of ice water.As expected... all he truly cares about is the company's face."Thank you, President Grayson. I understand," Chloe Bishop expressed her thanks, a tinge of disappointment lacing her voice."However... if you really wish to thank me, we can talk about it another day." Xavier Grayson shifted his tone.Another day?Chloe Bishop felt a sudden urge to press for more details, but seeing as President Grayson had no intention of elaborating, she simply stood there on her end of the line, completely dazed and clueless."Alright, President Grayson. Whatever you say," she answered timidly, lacking any backbone to argue.Standing in the executive corridor of the corporate headquarters, the faint ghost of a smirk tugged at the corner of Xavier Grayson’s lips.After hanging up

    The elevator reached the design department in no time."P-President Grayson, I need to get to work!"She bolted out of the lift in a panic, fleeing without daring to look back.Through the narrowing gap of the closing doors, Xavier Grayson silently watched her retreating figure vanish down the hall.Inside the design department.Right on the stroke of eight!Pantless and breathless, Chloe Bishop breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, she hadn't been marked late.The moment she sat down at her desk, Megan strolled over."Here, Chloe, Leo asked me to hand this over to you.""Thanks." She took it offhandedly.Fixing her eyes on the item, Chloe Bishop realized it was an official invitation to Designer's Night.Opening the cover, she saw it was an invitation issued specifically for shortlisted rookie designers.A wave of pure shock washed over her face bright and early in the morning. She never imagined that simply based on the Grayson Corporation jewelry campaign alone, she would actually

    Over in the design department.The moment Megan stepped into the office that morning, her phone rang—it was Leo.Could he be calling to thank her for sending Chloe Bishop over last night?"Leo, did you get a chance to look over the design drafts I had sent your way?" Megan asked, eagerly anticipating good news.A barrage of furious barking blasted from the receiver. "Megan, what the hell is wrong with you?! Are you pulling my leg by deliberately dumping a woman Xavier Grayson has his eyes on right into my lap?"Megan played dumb. "I... I don't know what you mean. Does President Grayson have something to do with Designer Chloe?""Are you fucking dense?!" Leo raged. "He literally stormed into the private room last night to haul her away himself! He ruined the whole damn drinking session!"Xavier Grayson actually went to the room last night?!Did Chloe Bishop run her mouth to him?!Megan apologized profusely, bowing her head in humiliation. "Leo, I am so, so sorry! I really had no idea s

    Silence settled over the car once more.The lingering kick of the alcohol hit Chloe Bishop in waves, leaving her thoroughly flushed and restless."It's so hot..."Fussing in her seat, she tugged aggressively at her outfit, peeling off her jacket before immediately working on her blouse. She yanked at the fabric with all her strength, as though she were genuinely suffocating from the heat.Xavier Grayson knitted his brows and lowered the window beside her.A cool night breeze swept into the back seat.The chill offered a moment of relief, yet she remained utterly fixated on her clothes. "Why won't these buttons open? Why..."Intoxicated and uninhibited, Chloe Bishop pulled at her blouse so hard she nearly tore the seams.A delicate flush crept up Xavier Grayson’s fair face."Don't."He reached out, his hand clamping over hers to stay her fingers."No! I'm burning up, I want to take it off!"Her mind completely lost to the alcohol, she shoved his hand away with absolute disdain. Her fin

    Chloe Bishop turned her face away in terror.Bang!The private room door suddenly flew open, startling everyone inside. Framed in the doorway stood a tall, broad-shouldered man. His chiseled features looked carved from ice in the dim light, and his dark eyes—deep as a starless midnight—radiated the ruthless chill of an underworld sovereign.It was Xavier Grayson!Shock rippled through the room. Regaining his wits first, Leo hurried forward, pasting on a nervous smile. "President Grayson, what wind blew you in here?"Given the nature of this gathering, Xavier Grayson's sudden appearance certainly wasn't out of goodwill. His icy gaze locked straight onto Chloe Bishop.She looked so utterly lost and defenseless. Her cheeks were flushed a sunset red from alcohol, and her clear, sparkling eyes shone with a glossy moisture that made her look both deeply aggrieved and completely bewildered. Meanwhile, the man beside her was sitting dangerously close—close enough to pull her into his arms at
