"Find out who sent this," Shawn demanded."We could not find anyone, sir," he replied nervously."What did you say? You can't even figure this out?" Shawn asked. "Yes, it's an anonymous package sent from a neighboring city, the phone number is invalid, and the sender's name is a pseudonym. Where do we even begin to investigate?" he explained.Shawn kicked over the chair beside him in frustration. "Useless!"The director trembled, not daring to speak.From what Shawn had said earlier, these photos were deliberately taken by entertainment industry paparazzi. There was nothing untoward between Shawn and Ivy. "Sir, what should we do next?" the supervisor asked."Keep a close eye on the internet. We must not let these photos appear online!" Shawn said firmly.This was a critical moment. If the photos were leaked, it would have a significant impact, especially as Lovito was currently selecting a brand ambassador. Negative news about Shawn and Ivy could affect the brand.Shawn did

She recalled that she had too much to drink yesterday and had dragged Joe to her apartment and chatted all night. She then fell asleep until her alarm rang her up for work.Summer usually does not remember what she said or did if she drank, but this morning, she remembered every detail of her conversation with Gale, her discussion with Shawn, and what happened with Joe. It was all etched vividly in her memory."Mr. Winter," Peach greeted.Joe nodded, then looked at Summer. "Feeling okay?""What's wrong? I'm fine," Summer replied."No dizziness or headache now? Were you not about to explode last night? You should have taken a day off today. Why are you here earlier than me?" Joe asked."You're the boss. I'm an employee. How can we compare? I have to work," Summer replied."I'll allow you to take a day off. Paid leave," Joe said."Tch."Normally, when Joe said something like this, she would just go along with it. Could not miss an opportunity for a day off, right? However, Summe

Gale hesitated for a moment, then asked, "That's it? Just for this?" Her question left Ivy momentarily stunned. After a few seconds, Ivy tentatively inquired, "I do not have anything else. Gale, do you have something else on your mind?"Gale withdrew her gaze, lowering her eyes, her mind filled with doubts. Ivy's reaction seemed like she did not know about the stack of photos. As one of the involved parties, how could she not know? Did Shawn not tell her? Or did the photos not reach her? What was going on?The atmosphere fell into silence and quietness all of a sudden. Gale did not know how to speak. She wanted to ask Ivy why she was wearing Shawn's jacket. Why was she falling into Shawn's arms? It made her seem like an aggressive wife confronting the mistress.This was not the person Gale wanted to be. She absolutely would not allow herself to become that pitiful woman. If one day, Shawn really cheated on her, she would just leave without looking back, divorcing in a dignified ma

Ivy gazed at her with a steely look."No woman could stay calm in such a situation. Gale, Mr. Wood was just too charismatic. Even I, a woman with principles and boundaries, found myself having thoughts I shouldn't have.""Mr. Wood is the epitome of the perfect man by all feminine standards. Any woman who has been around him would inevitably feel a flutter in her heart. I thought I would be the exception, but I guess I overestimated myself."Gale listened quietly.Ivy chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I didn't sleep a wink that night. I tossed and turned, thinking that even though I knew Mr. Wood was a married man, I still wanted to be close to him and have him. It's truly shameless.""I managed to suppress that thought. When Mr. Wood left, I regained my composure. However, I still feel ashamed of myself for having such thoughts.""I'm sorry, Gale. I shouldn't have said these things, but after much consideration, I felt I needed to tell you. I would like to avoid unnecessary misunders

Ivy's eyes were filled with envy. When would she meet her destined one?Back at the Wood Group, Gale's mood noticeably improved. It was all just a misunderstanding. Whatever transpired between Shawn and Ivy was innocent; it was just exploited by someone with ulterior motives. But who could it be? Were they targeting Shawn or Ivy? It seemed more likely aimed at Shawn, since Ivy had not even received the photos. Threaten Shawn? Who would dare, and for what reason?As she was lost in thought, the elevator doors opened. Gale was about to step in when suddenly she felt a firm grip around her waist, pulling her away from the elevator toward another private one nearby.Once the door closed, shutting out all outside noise and sight, Gale looked up to see who it was and could not help but stomp her foot in frustration. "Shawn! You scared the life out of me!" She had thought it was some villain attempting to abduct her and was about to scream."Where have you been? I've been searching everyw
