Kaze’s objective for the brief meeting was to meet everyone and evaluate their capabilities. Knowing his subordinates better would help him a lot in assigning the correct tasks to the right person. He just wanted to know them better so it would be easier for him to work. The first day went by quickly. At the end of the day, everyone started to pack and go home. Kaze glanced at his watch and started to pack his things, too. All the employees were actually looking forward to seeing Darcy interact with Kaze, but it did not happen. She did not call him into the office at all. Everyone felt strange. If Darcy was the one who arranged for him to work here, then she should call him inside at least once or let the employees know about their unusual relationship. Yet after a whole day, nothing happened. No one dared to say anything because it was not their business, though. They merely wanted to know the outcome, not to persist on the matter. After work, Kaze went to the su

Kaze never really cared about the rumors. Even when Jenny texted him the screenshot of the group chat, he was not bothered. He grabbed some lunch and continued working. He, too, was paying close attention to the deal with the Wittersons. He wanted to take this chance to learn more about Edmund’s plan for his company. At the same time, he wanted to find out who the agent was from the Viper’s Den. He had many things to do and had no intention of wasting time on some small fries. Eliot, assuming he had finally uncovered Kaze's true identity, began to plot the man’s removal from the manager's position. He released news to the company’s group chat to gather support. His subordinates had been working with him for many years and knew him better than they did Kaze, who had just joined the company. He just needed to accuse Kaze of something and sabotage his plan to make things work. As long as Kaze was dismissed by the higher-ups and lost the trust of his subordinates, he would ev

“Hmph. That brat. How dare he talk to me like that and steal my position? I’ll make him regret,” Eliot muttered to himself as he sat down. He never thought Kaze would talk back against him. Fortunately, he maintained a good reputation within the company for many years and his subordinates liked him. He was able to seize the chance this time. The next step would be to plot against Kaze. His men had gone home. He did not need to do anything else and simply waited. He knew what would happen if he did not act but he was actually betting on it. Kaze did not approve his proposal and the chairwoman was asking for one. If their department did not deliver, then Kaze would be held accountable. Eliot was prepared to acknowledge his mistake and bear the consequences but he wanted Kaze to share the burden. He knew it was a risky method that would put him in trouble as well but at least he would not be the one losing. Kaze got the position through nepotism. He had no foundation and

However, it was not just Darcy’s fault. Kaze, at times, was unreliable, so when she heard about what happened from Eliot, her prejudices set in and clouded her judgment. She regretted her impulsive action and believed she owed him an apology. However, as chairwoman, she had to keep her reputation in front of her employees. She knew she had done wrong but she could not shed her ego to apologize. She was also in an awkward position to humble herself. She looked at Kaze with guilt flashing in her eyes, her lips shuddered but unable to spew an apology. Kaze knew her well and he was not expecting an apology. Since he had made things clear, he did not mind at all. Unfortunately, the harsh words from the woman he still loved hurt him. He could barely keep calm, but he must, given the circumstances. Then, he looked at Eliot, whose face darkened after being exposed. As much as he had been gloating at Kaze a moment ago, he was now filled with the same amount of regret. He

Darcy knew she should change and knew what she had done wrong today. She wanted to apologize but she could not give up on her ego and pride. Therefore, she decided to invite him to dinner as a token of apology. After she packed her things, she left the office. She finally felt better after combing through the entire matter in her head and swore not to be clumsy again. Bringing Kaze into her company was not just because she wanted him to leave Edmund, but she also wanted to reconnect with him. She knew it was inappropriate but she could not control her feelings. She looked at her watch. It was too late for dinner already, so she planned to do it tomorrow. Unfortunately, the thought continued to haunt her. When she got into her car, a sense of urgency struck. She was afraid that Kaze might take it wrongly and the feeling would worsen after a night. After a quick struggle with her thoughts, she decided to call him. Kaze was on the way home. He was a little annoyed and
