The head of the jury flipped open the three proposal files on the table. The conference room went dead quiet until Chloe suddenly spoke up, her eyes locked on the judges without a hint of fear.

“Hold on. We want to submit a new offer.”

Delilah, seated beside Evelyn, tensed up right away. She clenched her fists and whispered, panicked, “Evelyn, they’re definitely lowering their price. What do we do?”

Evelyn stayed calm. “Relax. Projects like this don’t go to the lowest bidder. Dropping the price too far breaks the biggest rule in our field.”

Because of Chloe’s new submission, the decision was reevaluated. Evelyn and her team waited outside while the jury went over the documents again.

Chloe lingered near the door for a few minutes, then turned to Evelyn with a sharp, mocking smile. “Congrats, Evelyn. I heard you’re with Mr. Reed now, even getting engaged. Why are the rest of us even bothering to compete?”

Evelyn met her stare, cold and steady. “If you don’t want to compete, you can qui

    “This is really good.”Evelyn blinked in surprise. “Seriously?”“Seriously,” Sebastian said, his tone casual.Evelyn gave him a small smile, trying to sound modest. “I don’t know if you’re being polite or not, but if it’s really that good, then you better finish all of it. Don’t leave a bite.”“Okay,” Sebastian replied with a faint smile tugging at his lips.For a second, Evelyn froze, then quickly went back to eating. Her breath came a little fast, she was trying to cover up the awkward flutter in her chest. Once they were done, she started cleaning up the place.She’d expected Sebastian to just sit there and act like the kind of boss who wouldn’t lift a finger. But instead, he rolled up his sleeves and started helping her move boxes. “Where do you want this?” he asked.“Put it over there,” she said quickly, pointing toward the kitchen. “Top shelf.”Watching him move so naturally around her space caught her off guard. For a moment, Evelyn felt something warm rise in her chest. During

    It was downright embarrassing. They’d just started dating, and Sebastian had already seen Evelyn at her worst. How was she supposed to live under the same roof with him after this?Sebastian had been waiting outside her door for almost half an hour. When Evelyn finally opened it, she looked completely different, wearing a loose white sweater and blue jeans, her long hair falling over her shoulders, giving her a soft, laid-back look.Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “You said you were too busy to answer the door. What changed?”Evelyn’s cheeks flushed. She cleared her throat. “The renovation upstairs was loud. I just went to check it out.”Right on cue, a series of hammering sounds came from above. Evelyn sighed quietly. “How about we go out for a bit? By the way, why are you here?”“To help you move out,” Sebastian said flatly.“Huh?” Evelyn blinked in confusion.He glanced around the apartment. “You really plan to keep living in a place owned by another man?”Evelyn froze as the memory o

    “True, we’ve been really busy at the company. Pointless social stuff like that, Victoria can handle it.”“What do you mean by ‘pointless social stuff’?”Mrs. Reed frowned. “The Summers family has been close friends with us for years. We even have business ties with them. Professionally and personally, you should keep that relationship. How can you call it ‘pointless’? And besides, she might be your father’s wife, but that doesn’t give her the right to represent the Reed family.”She had barely finished speaking when a voice came from the doorway. “Ma’am, why don’t you come in?”Mrs. Reed turned around. Victoria stood by the door, and it wasn’t clear if she’d just arrived or had been listening the whole time.“Why aren’t you in bed?” Mrs. Reed asked flatly, not caring whether Victoria had overheard their conversation or not.Victoria smiled pleasantly, as if nothing had happened, and stepped inside. “I was about to go to sleep, but since Sebastian’s back, I thought maybe you had someth

    Guests came one after another to offer their congratulations, quickly surrounding Sebastian and Evelyn. Meanwhile, Camilla and Madison were pushed to the edge of the crowd.Madison, clearly displeased, tried to push forward, her voice rising.“Sebastian, she’s fooling you! That woman is...”“Stop talking,” Camilla cut her off sharply, fighting the jealousy burning in her chest. “Didn’t you hear what Sebastian said earlier? He told me to keep an eye on you so you wouldn’t say anything stupid.”Madison’s eyes flashed. “So now it’s my fault? I was only trying to help you, Camilla!”Camilla’s expression stayed cold. Seeing that icy stare, Madison realized there was no point in arguing. Her face paled. “I’ve got something to do. I’ll go,” she said, and quickly walked away.Camilla stood alone outside the crowd. She downed two glasses of cocktail one after another, her hands trembling slightly. The chance she’d waited for, to stand next to Sebastian in front of everyone, was once again sto

    “Mr. Reed, didn’t you two already break up? Why are you still defending her like that?”“Who told you that?” Sebastian’s cold tone dropped the temperature in the room. “Has Madison never had a boyfriend? Or do you think couples never fight?”Evelyn’s body went rigid. That tiny reaction didn’t escape Sebastian’s notice; if anything, his grip around her waist only tightened. His expression remained calm as his gaze swept over the crowd. Then, in an even, almost indifferent voice, he said, “Since everyone’s already here, I’d like to make an announcement. The cold war between Evelyn Sinclair and me is officially over. We’ll be getting engaged soon.”“What?”Madison and Camilla froze. So did everyone else. The whole ballroom went silent. What kind of night was this? They’d come to the Reed family’s reception, only to witness Sebastian himself announce his engagement in public?Evelyn stood there, stunned. The noise around her faded into a blur, and all she could hear was the echo of Sebast
