“You know my taste well. Whenever I am with you, I don’t even need to think about what to eat,” Darcy said. She liked being understood. She did not have to be in a dilemma about what to eat and could just enjoy the food. It felt great. “Old habit. Do you want to order something else?” Kaze thought Darcy disliked him taking the initiative. They were no longer married, and intimacy was not on the table anymore. He just acted out of habit whenever he was with her. “It’s okay. I’m fine with the order. I don’t have to think about what to eat anymore, which is good,” she said. She picked up her glass of water for a sip, trying to cover her awkwardness. She did not know why she felt a sense of relief. “Great. I thought I crossed the line.” Kaze still felt bad because they could not be husband and wife anymore. There was nothing to regret about the past. What happened may have been the very best arrangement the universe could have given them. Kaze actually had no extr

Whenever Luca walked past, all the other employees would shut up right away. The unusual silence felt strange to her. She knew they were talking about her boss, but she did not know the topic. She wanted to find out more, but none of them wanted to share. She sighed in frustration and felt defeated because she could not do her job well enough. As the assistant to the CEO cum chairwoman, she should know everything within the company, not letting rumors circulate or secrets slip. “They are not talking whenever I am there. What’s the matter? What are they talking about that they don’t want me to know?” She could not let the gossip continue or else if something bad happened, things would go out of control fast. She ordered a cup of boba for Jenny the receptionist. “Jenny, I ordered extra today. Here,” she said as she sat down next to Jenny. Jenny was shocked but she accepted the drink. “Luca, what brings you here? Aren’t you busy with the boss’ stuff? There’s no way y

“How’s work been recently? Any problem?” Darcy looked at Kaze with a hint of guilt. She must find out the truth first before making her next decision. “It’s okay. The team has been very cooperative and it’s easy to lead them. Not much of a problem,” Kaze answered. He thought Darcy was asking him as the chairwoman of the company. “Did you notice anything strange recently?” she asked, hinting at something. Kaze pondered the question for a moment before shaking his head. Nothing of note had happened recently, apart from his team gossiping a little more than usual. As for work, everything was progressing well. He could solve any problems thrown at him. “Nothing special. Why do you ask?” he asked. “Did you know that the employees are gossiping and they always avoid you?” Darcy already knew Kaze was not aware of the internal rumor. He did not seem to care or be bothered. She did not know whether to feel relieved or disappointed. “I mean, they are always gossiping but I

“That’s interesting. If the guy is clean, that means the guy who gave us this information is not,” Lyra said. Whenever she was feeling down, she wanted to ruin things to release her emotions. She picked up the scissors again and cut off a twig from the bonsai. Even after she basically trimmed all the greens off the little plant, she picked up the bigger gardening scissors and went on to cut off all the other flowers in the garden. Fletcher wisely took a step back. He knew his boss was angry and if he intervened, he might be cut in half. “We’ve been here for so long and we can’t even get anything about this branch leader. He’s hiding pretty deep.” Lyra had a smile on her face, as if she was not angry, but she was actually suppressing her anger. Fletcher kept quiet and stayed by the side. A while later, Lyra basically destroyed the entire garden, leaving nothing but a mess behind. “Why are you standing there? Get that pig here! He gave us the wrong information, wasted o

“No, it’s not like that. I know someone who is extremely suspicious!” Julian said, trying to buy himself time. The pain stopped him from speaking fluently. The excruciating pain almost knocked him out, but he steeled himself up, clenched his teeth to keep himself awake. “It’s Darcy Quint! There’s something strange between her and Edmund Witterson!” he said. He then looked at Lyra, hoping that she got the message. “I am not lying! I am telling the truth. I don’t know who you are looking for, but Darcy Quint is definitely related to the Viper’s Den!” he added. He squeezed the last drop of his brain juice to lay out clues for Lyra. He did not care if Darcy was really related, but he just wanted to survive. “Are you trying to slander her just because you can’t get her?” Fletcher said with furrowed brows. Quill disagreed with Julian’s claim, too. When he went undercover as Russell, he had a brief contact with Darcy. He knew that she was a career woman and was great at her
