"I think you should come and stay with me for a while. The city center is nice, but there are too many reporters," said Joey."It's fine. I've said what needs to be said. The reporters shouldn't bother me anymore," Willow dismissed."Alright, as long as you feel safe. I doubt Theodore will just leave you alone. After all, he is the CEO of Bassett Corporation.""Let's not talk about him. What do you think of my office? Any suggestions?""It's great! I especially love the couches in the lounge area. But it feels like it's missing something.""What's missing?""Something that's close yet far away," Joey said, crossing her arms and smiling. "I've resigned."Willow was stunned for a moment. After that, her eyes lit up with joy. She asked, "Joey, are you serious?""Do I look like I'm joking? After this trip, my resignation was approved. Once I finish handing over my work, I can come to help you. How about that, Ms. Jett?""If you're willing to come, then I'm very glad. But isn't it

The surroundings grew quiet. Matthew took out his phone and glanced at it. The chat history was from half an hour ago."I'm meeting Joey to do some shopping tomorrow. Maybe I can ask if she has time to join us for dinner."Finishing his last puff, Matthew stubbed out the cigarette on the ground. Then, he made a call."It's me."The woman on the other end sounded both surprised and pleased. She asked, "Why are you calling me this late? Didn't you tell me not to contact you privately?""Do you have time tomorrow?"She hesitated for a moment. Then, she quickly said without any reservation, "Yes!""Let's have dinner together.""Sure. Where should we eat?""Let's go to that private kitchen at Sasinhos at around six or seven. Get there early.""Isn't that far? There's a great private kitchen near your law firm. It's very discreet, so no one will see us. I…""If you don't want to come, forget it.""That's not what I meant," she replied cautiously. "Sasinhos is fine. I'll wait for

"I said that this has nothing to do with you, Mr. Bassett. Don't you understand?" Matthew retorted angrily."You're hurting her."Upon hearing his words, Matthew snapped back to reality. As he noticed Willow's pained expression, he quickly let go of her hand. He said, "I'm sorry, Willow. I didn't mean to.""It's okay," Willow said.Willow forced a smile and deliberately moved closer to Theodore, wrapping her arm around his. She said, "Matthew, Theodore and I already have dinner plans. Do you have something important to discuss? You can join us if you want. Theodore isn't a stranger."Hearing her say Theodore's name seemed to hit Matthew hard. His face suddenly turned pale."Matthew, what's wrong?" Willow asked.Willow's voice brought Matthew back to his senses. He looked lost as he stuttered, "N-Nothing. We can talk next time."After saying this, Matthew gave Theodore a long look before getting into his car.As the sound of the engine faded, Matthew's car disappeared down the

"Some people have started to feel uneasy," Theodore remarked casually.Clark seemed to have understood what Theodore implied. "Do you mean…"Glancing out the window, Theodore said calmly with his eyes looking cold and deep, "We need to accelerate the process."Clark was slightly taken aback.…It was late at night. At the outskirts of Emperia, a private restaurant named Sasinhos was closing for the night.A woman sat in a booth by the window. She wore a burgundy dress that complemented the elegant restaurant ambiance, giving her an air of sophistication and grace. She looked gentle and hopeful."Miss, I'm sorry. We're closing soon. Has your friend arrived yet?"The woman wasn't upset. Instead, she replied gently, "They might be delayed. You can go ahead and serve the food. I'll wait a bit longer."The waiter nodded politely and said, "Alright."She tried calling someone. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."The woman frowned

Ellie quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "I'm not just badmouthing her without reason. You saw the news the other day."She got divorced but was still entangled with her ex-husband. Also, I've heard that she has a lot of men around her."Sara interrupted, "That's baseless gossip.""Mom, look at this. Is this baseless?"Ellie turned on her phone to show Sara a photo. She said, "I saw this while shopping yesterday. She's having physical contact with a man in public. Is that appropriate?"In the photo, Willow was being pulled by a man and talking to him on the street.Sara frowned. She asked, "Who is this man?""He's her lawyer. He helped her with the divorce case and is somewhat famous in Emperia. I heard he's been friends with Willow since high school and they're quite close."Sara's expression suddenly turned somber. With a loud bang, she slammed the scissors down.Ellie's face lit up with a satisfied smile as she watched Sara leave. She picked up the scissors near the f
