The car started moving. Blake felt highly uneasy. When she got into the car just now, she could immediately sense a pressure that made her feel suffocated and unable to speak. She anxiously lowered her head and did not dare to speak.She thought, 'Until I officially leave the Jardin Corporation, I'm still their employee.'Blake then recalled the disdainful look she gave Kevin earlier and pondered, 'Honestly, no one's as petty as he is. If someone says or does something he doesn't like, he'll react strongly and just bully them.'Is he here for revenge?'The atmosphere remained tense. Blake felt very uncomfortable in this strange silence. After a while, she smelled a mint fragrance which temporarily eased her nerves.She noticed a bottle of air freshener placed under the windshield. Her eyes lit up immediately, "Oh, Mr. Harrison, you're using this cologne too? I recommended this to you last time. This product smells great, doesn't it?"The car stopped at the red light. Kevin remain

Blake did not receive a response from Kevin after sending him that text.She seemed bewitched as she held her phone, staring at it.After two minutes passed without receiving a reply from Kevin, Blake then lay on the sofa staring at the ceiling above. She put her phone on her chest. She could not understand why Kevin would ask her to be her girlfriend.She acknowledged that she could not resist the allure of someone like Kevin. Every girl in the company would be happy for the entire day just from exchanging a few words with him.All the female employees in the company were attracted to Kevin, but he was always focused on work. Blake rarely saw him engage in any non-work-related activities. Not only was Kevin very good-looking, but his income was also said to be three times that of the company's top executives.His cold personality was his only flaw.His cold demeanor made everyone feel he was not easily approachable. Previously, there had been a very beautiful intern at Jardin Co

Blake checked the time and saw it was nine o'clock in the morning. She closed her eyes lying down as she said, "I'll take a short nap for half an hour. Wake me up if there's something!"As soon as she finished saying that, Kevin, dressed in a black suit, walked into the office. He was holding a stack of documents with one hand and the other tucked in his pocket.Blake had fallen asleep by the time Kevin entered the office. She heard nothing but the faint sound of footsteps.Kevin's presence usually set everyone in the entire secretary's office on edge, except for Blake. Only she dared to nap during working hours.Blake's colleagues were amazed that she was not afraid even though Kevin was in the office. Since Blake was under Cecilia, the others believed that despite Blake's position in the secretary's office, she shared a certain level of authority with Kevin.The staff in the secretary's office found Cecilia was as scary as Zach. They sympathized with Blake as she bore the brunt

Blake returned to the office fifteen minutes before she had to resume working.She lowered her head and texted Liam, [Although our blind date didn't work out, we can still be friends. I'm sure you'll find someone even better.[Also, thank you for the lunch today. The food you made was delicious. But you don't need to trouble yourself again in the future.]Liam replied very quickly, [Is he good to you?]Blake pondered a few seconds. When she recalled what happened during lunchtime, she was jealous. 'Not good at all,' she thought before replying, [Not exactly good. But that's who he is. He's distant, rigid, and a workaholic.[Just now, he even scolded me for sitting in his chair. He was so fierce when I asked him to have lunch with me.]Liam asked, [Why do you like him then?]Blake responded, [It's complicated. You overlook flaws when you like someone.]Blake was walking and suddenly bumped into someone. She hit her forehead on something hard, and it was painful. Her phone clatte

Liam was looking at Blake the entire time. He said with a smile, "We're acquainted. Are you heading home? Let me give you a lift."Blake responded, "I think..."Before Blake rejected Liam, she noticed a bus pass by the bus stop. She immediately changed her mind, "Thank you then."Blake's colleague from the Editorial Department next to them glanced over with curiosity and said, "Mr. Xander, I've arranged a ride for you. It'll be here very soon."Liam responded, "Okay."He wondered, 'Could this be a new opportunity?'Soon, the car arrived. Blake and Liam got into the cab together. She comfortably leaned back in the seat and said, "I usually take the bus after work. Never thought I'd get a ride home with my idol. Thanks, Liam."Liam's gazed gently at Blake and said with a smile, "You don't have to call me your idol. Just Liam is fine."Blake responded, "But I like calling you 'my idol'."Liam replied, "Okay, it's up to you."Curious, Blake asked, "What brings you to Jardin Corpo
