Sometimes, it was hard to see the truth when you were too close to the project.After the banquet ended, Willow left Sweeney Residence on her own."Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently unavailable…"She had called both Jessica and Penny several times, but their phones were switched off, and none of her messages were replied to.Her mind was a mess. She rolled down the car window and hoped that the night breeze would help clear her thoughts.Suddenly, a figure caught her eye."Stop the car."Isaac was slightly startled but quickly pulled over to the side of the road. "What's wrong, Willow?"Stepping out of the car, Willow said, "I saw a child alone by the roadside.""That's impossible. It's the middle of the night."Isaac also got out of the car without finishing his sentence. There was indeed a little girl crouching by the sidewalk under the streetlight. She couldn't have been more than three or four years old, with a tiny mushroom-shaped backpack on her back and a wh

The police officers turned around in surprise. "Really? That's great.""I'm sorry to hassle you.""Don't worry, it's not a hassle at all.""Well, in that case, let's exchange contact information. We'll accompany you back to your place to verify your address and make a record. When we get news from the girl's family, we'll come by to pick her up.""Alright, sure."On the way home, Yasmine fell asleep on Willow's shoulder. She was probably worn out from crying or was just exhausted. When they arrived, Isaac lent a hand and helped carry the sleeping child into the house.Willow was worried that Isaac's tall frame might accidentally bump Yasmine's head, so she followed him cautiously."Willow, are you sure you can take care of her on your own? I could take her with me. Besides picking you up from work, I don't have much else to do.""How's a man supposed to take care of a little girl? There are too many things that would be inconvenient for you guys."Willow settled Yasmine into t

"That's also a snack," Willow said with resignation. Why did she even think about letting a child choose?"Never mind, I'll decide. There's a place I often go to in this mall. Let's just eat there.""Miss, did you come here by yourself?" Yasmine asked sweetly while holding onto her hand.After hearing her question, Willow paused. Then, she responded, "No, I came with two of my friends."Yasmine blinked. "Then why aren't they here?"Willow sighed again. "I made a little mistake, so they're mad at me right now. Once they're not angry anymore in a couple of days, I'll bring you to meet them, okay?"Jessica and Penny were probably still upset. They hadn't replied to any of her messages since last night.The waiter led Willow to a table by the window."Could you please make the food a bit lighter on the stomach? Something suitable for kids. And aside from that, a plate of glazed pork chops, please.""Sure."Willow handed the menu back to the waiter, then glanced over at Yasmine. T

Why was he here?When she spotted the person outside the car window, Penny jabbed at Jessica with her elbow and signaled her to look outside."Speak of the devil, and the devil appears," Penny remarked as she glanced around. "He wouldn't have installed surveillance in your car, would he?""Stop making things up."Willow handed Yasmine to the two women and said, "Take Yasmine upstairs first.""Are you really going to see him?""I have no reason to avoid him." With that, Willow got out of the car.Behind her, Penny and Jessica walked straight past Theodore and into the building with Yasmine. They occasionally glanced back at them with curiosity."Why are you here?" Willow asked with a serious expression.Theodore's demeanor was less tense than the night before, though it was still far from cheerful."I came to apologize.""Apologize? For what?""For leaving without telling you last night.""This is just a small issue, so you don't have to apologize. Mr. Bassett, you're free

"Isabel, nothing happens without a reason. What's Mr. Bassett doing this time? Swinging by and conveniently dropping off coffee to butter us up? Didn't he already divorce Ms. Jett?" one of the secretaries muttered."Yeah, and he even worked with us on the amusement park project, and in turn gave up several percentage points of profit. It was so easy to negotiate with him.""I bet he wants to get back together.""Honestly, I think that'd be great. Mr. Bassett is so handsome, and he and Ms. Jett looked perfect together."Isabel finished making tea and cast a glance at them. "Mr. Bassett's business isn't something for you all to gossip about. Get back to work. Do you all have nothing better to do?"The group stuck out their tongues sheepishly before rushing back to their desks.Suddenly, Isabel remembered something and quickly returned to the office.It wasn't Theodore's first time visiting Willow's office. Without waiting for someone to guide him, he pushed the door open and walke
