"I have some pressing matters to attend to here, so I'll have to excuse myself from entertaining you," Willow said before calling Annie over. "Please show Mr. Bassett out."Still finding her feet in the situation, Annie offered a polite smile to Theodore. "Mr. Bassett, right this way to the exit."Theodore sensed a pulsing ache in his temples.Watching from nearby, Clark interjected urgently, "Ms. Jett, what's happening? Mr. Bassett has been swamped for the past three days—so much so that he hasn't even had time to grab a drink of water. He's been flying non-stop, with just one day on the ground to handle business."He's not done with his business but rushed back when he heard your news. He's worried about potential hiccups at your company's opening ceremony."Willow walked into the office, ignoring everything behind her as if she hadn't heard a word.Annie stood awkwardly, unsure of her next move. She wondered whether she should show the guest out or if there was something else

Willow worked late into the night at the office, the lights gradually dimming in the building. Suddenly, there came a knock at her door."Come in," Willow said."Aren't you heading out? It's almost 11:00 pm."Willow glanced up and found Joey casually leaning against the door with her bag slung over her shoulder."I'll leave once I finish reviewing these last papers. You should head home," Willow responded."No worries, I'll stick around for a bit," Joey said, stepping inside and setting down her bag. "It's getting late, and I'd rather not leave you to go home alone."Willow chuckled. "What? Are you worried my ex might come after me?""You find this funny? How many times has it been now? This is the third time since you fell out with him and talk of divorce began. Quentin might not have much going for him, but he's all about his ego. A guy like him would resort to anything when pushed.""That's why I haven't pushed him too far," Willow replied.Joey looked confused. "What do yo

Nathan parked the car in Bassett Corporation's underground garage.Clark instructed, "Tell Madam Sara that Mr. Bassett has an important dinner tonight and won't be able to make it. Be tactful so she doesn't get upset.""Got it," Nathan replied.Upon Theodore's return to the office, he immediately called a meeting with the marketing department.Binding the meeting materials together next to the printer, Dinah muttered, "I'm beginning to think Mr. Bassett might be a robot. He hasn't taken a break in over half a month, constantly traveling for meetings. He returned today and didn't even rest before jumping into another meeting.""That's why Mr. Bassett is the president. No one else can manage his workload," Linda replied calmly."I don't think so. Haven't you noticed Mr. Bassett's been acting odd lately? And it's been forever since we've seen Ms. Jett. Linda, do you have any insider info?" Dinah asked."Cut back on the gossip and stay focused on work. Hurry up and deliver those pri

In the custom dress boutique at Cosmo Plaza, Willow and Joey tried on various ready-to-wear dresses."Just pick something casual. There's no need to go overboard," Willow said, twirling in front of the mirror. "I think this one will do. Help me get it wrapped up."The sales assistant was ready to ring it up for Willow."Wait, what do you mean by 'will do?'" Joey grabbed Willow's arm. "This one is too plain. You're going to a dinner, not a funeral. Why dress all in black? Let's find something else. This isn't quite right.""We've tried so many already. Are you sure you want to keep going?" Willow sighed, pointing at the pile of clothes she had already tried on. She looked tired. "Just try it on your own if you want.""No way, our company needs your look to impress clients. I don't have that kind of face," Joey replied cheerfully, taking the dress from the sales assistant and holding it up to Willow. "This one's nice. Give it a shot.""We're going for business, not a blind date," W

"This gown suits you perfectly as if it were made just for you," said the sales assistant, Alice Kenworthy.Willow stood before the mirror in a burgundy evening gown that beautifully accentuated her graceful figure. Alice had even thoughtfully paired it with a matching clutch.Joey couldn't help but applaud. "That's the one. It looks fantastic.""Do you think the color is too flashy?" Willow lifted the hem and turned around before the mirror. "It feels a bit too extravagant, doesn't it?""It's supposed to be extravagant and flashy. How else will everyone notice Joywell Real Estate?"Willow reluctantly handed her card to Alice. "Could you please ring me up? I'll go get changed out of the gown."After changing, Alice took the gown to the checkout counter, saying, "Our boutique's dresses are all one-of-a-kind. You won't see anyone else in this. Besides, not everyone could carry off this dress."Willow glanced at Joey and remarked, "I think she'd be perfect for a sales position at o
