Candice was slightly startled. She stared at Jimothy and felt a sense of unfamiliarity.Based on her previous perception of him, he had always been a fresh graduate with a warm smile. That was all.At this moment, Jimothy realized that he had overreacted. He looked at Candice apologetically and scratched his head before saying, “Sorry, I… I just think that it isn’t wise for you to come over right now. After all, the controversy is getting out of hand. We should be holding a press conference.”Candice raised her brows slightly. “I’m here precisely because the controversy is getting out of hand.”Hearing that, Jimothy furrowed his brows in disapproval. He seemed to want to say something, but Candice beat him to it.She asked, “You’ve been coming to the company for the past few days, right?”Even though it was a question, she sounded very certain.Jimothy was startled. He did not understand why she would ask that all of a sudden, but he nodded anyway.Candice nodded as well. “Then

Candice blushed and said in a low voice, “Stop teasing me.”Ivanka smiled. “Oh, look at you! If people at the company see you acting all shy, their jaws are going to drop.”Candice covered her face with her hands. She could feel her cheeks heating up.Seeing that she had gotten shy, Ivanka decided to go easy on her and said seriously, “You’ve done a good job this time and managed to minimize the company’s loss. You really saved the day back there, so I ought to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have to go to the company with my IV drip and get mobbed by those reporters.”Ivanka changed the subject and asked, “Did they try to make things difficult for you? I’ve always known how persistent they can be. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. If any of them crosses the line, tell me immediately. When I recover, I’m going to teach them a lesson.”Ivanka was not joking or bluffing.The reporters these days had abandoned their work ethics and professionalism. Many of t

Candice and Ivanka chatted idly as they finished off a plate of strawberries.Meanwhile, Michael finished setting the table.He glanced at the empty plate but said nothing.Ivanka had not been eating much the past few days. It was a good sign to see her finally have an appetite, even if it was just for fruit.He called them over when everything was ready.Candice helped Ivanka to her seat at the table.Candice looked at the homemade food on the table: hashbrowns, scrambled eggs with cherry tomatoes, garlic chicken, and duck stew.The dishes were not fancy, but they looked well-prepared and nutritious.Apparently, Michael had a professional plan the menu each day and cooked everything himself. His dedication was unmatched.As soon as they sat down, he began piling food into Ivanka’s bowl.Before long, the bowl looked like a tiny mountain.Ivanka glanced at him before pulling her bowl closer to shield it and said helplessly, “Okay, okay, that’s enough. I can’t eat all this.”

Candice pitifully pretended to zip her lips shut.Ivanka realized she had gotten carried away and waved her hand dismissively. With a hint of apology, she said, “Sorry, I lost my temper. Go ahead.”Michael did not say anything, but his silence made it clear that he felt the same way.Seeing that they were finally willing to listen, Candice felt an unexpected surge of emotion. Why did being heard at last make her want to cry?But Michael did not give her much time to dwell on it. His glare urged her to get on with it.She took a deep breath and got straight to the point.The internal crisis at the company was under control, but public backlash was still raging.With no official statement issued, both the media and outraged netizens continued to viciously attack Ivanka and Lane’s Group.Some employees had even been pelted with rotten eggs at work.In more extreme cases, vandals had tracked down company addresses and defaced the property with paint.The relentless harassment h

The next day, Ivanka woke up early for the press conference.Michael joined her for breakfast.Usually, after they ate, he would head to work. Ivanka, on the other hand, remained at the hospital. Before, she had to follow a strict treatment and recovery regimen. As of late, she only needed routine check-ups. It was mainly to monitor her heart and lungs.Honestly, she felt fine.Still, it did not hurt to be cautious.After they finished eating, Michael still had not left.Ivanka stared at him as if silently asked what he was doing.Michael met her gaze head-on. He did not look away, nor did he speak.Ivanka refused to believe he did not understand what she meant. Even so, she still asked, “Aren’t you... going to work today?”Michael shook his head. “The press conference is today. Even though it’s just a livestream setup, once the broadcast starts, reporters will be coming non-stop. I’m worried my security team won’t be fully prepared, so I’m staying to keep an eye on things.”
