Meanwhile, Genecity. Rachael walked behind Isaac with her head hanging low, listening to the chatter around them. "She's here again…""She comes to see Mr. Lane three times a day. Why doesn't she just learn to manage the company…""Alright, we don't want her to hear us."She pursed her lips in embarrassment and didn't show her sad expression until they got into the elevator, then said in a timid tone, "Zac, does everyone hate me?"Isaac frowned but he said in a business-like tone. "If you perform well, the rumors will die down. When Ms. Lane first joined the company, she met with more criticism, but she managed to get all the employees on her side." Isaac paused after mentioning Hesper, then changed the topic. "No one really cares about your background; they only care about your performance."Rachael looked down. "I know I'm not as smart as Hessy. I wish I was because… everyone would be able to accept me a lot sooner."Isaac didn't want to continue the conversation because he

At that moment… Rickard sneezed. "You were caught in the rain yesterday. Do you have a cold?" The help, Mrs. Potter, walked over and handed a cup of tea to him. "Ms. Rivera would probably laugh at you for catching a cold because of some flowers."Rickard looked at the roses that Hesper put in a vase on the balcony. Roses sold that way rarely survive for long, but Hesper would stare at them every day in the garden. Rickard stood on the balcony and watched her. He didn't know what was on her mind but could tell that Hesper was happy. Rickard scaled the wall in the storm to bring the flowers home. Even he didn't believe that he did that. He drank the tea in silence, then put the cup down and said, "Did you have any updates about what I told you to do? Did you notice any suspicious people in the area?""No, there's really good security in the area. I've checked. When Ms. Rivera moved over, there was a threatening package but nothing else happened after that."Rickard nodded. H

"Is Hesper not back yet?" Rickard frowned and asked Renfrew to give Hesper a call to check on her. However, Renfrew made a few calls but none of them went through. It had turned into a storm outside. "Mr. Duval…" When the help walked in, Rickard already put on his coat and said, "Boil some ginger tea and add more sugar." He left the room after saying that. Mrs. Potter watched him walk away, sighed, then closed the window of the balcony so that the flowers that Rickard did so much to save would survive the storm. Meanwhile, Hesper quietly counted the seconds that ticked by. More than an hour passed, so the chances of someone suddenly coming back to the office or the electricity coming back on were very small. She put her hand to her forehead. Unsurprisingly, she had a fever. "No… I can't stay here."Hesper struggled to stand up, then returned to her office to look for some sharp object to smash the door open. Even though it was going to be difficult to explain what happ

But now there was a very good chance to redeem himself, so why was he shying away?Mrs. Potter didn't understand, but that wasn't something she needed to worry about. All she needed to think about was to prepare whatever Rickard asked her to. ***The next time Hesper opened her eyes it was already the evening of the next day. She stirred and opened her eyes. The ceiling looked unfamiliar, so Hesper woke up immediately and propped herself up into a sitting position, but someone held her shoulders down. "Who— Mrs. Potter?"She nodded, then sat down and opened up the food container on the table. The smell of soup immediately filled the room. "You were unconscious for half a day. Have some food before you speak.""Don't worry, I've spoken to the doctor. Your legs aren't in terrible condition and it was fortunate that you were sent here in time." Mrs. Potter paused, then continued. "You can drink the soup."Hesper paused, then sat up with the help of Mrs. Potter and started lookin

There was so much to tell Pennleigh about what happened the day before, but Hesper just gave a brief explanation. Pennleigh called her after reading halfway through it. "I've never heard of any employees being left behind. I have a feeling that this was done intentionally." Penneligh looked serious. "I'm not going to allow someone to do that."Hesper suspected that 013 was behind this, but it wasn't his style to be so childish. If 013 wanted to take her life, it wouldn't be that simple. "I think Evon is behind this." Hesper was blunt. "I can't think of anyone who would want to do this to me other than him.""But we don't have evidence." Pennleigh could see the hesitation in her eyes, but he looked down. "The cameras weren't working because the electricity was cut off… You didn't even get an explanation for what happened before this, but now something new happened.""Who said that I don't have evidence for the previous time?"Hesper didn't think that Evon would have the audaci
