Though there was some awkwardness, an apology still needed to be made."I'm sorry, and thank you for saving Yasmine. We misunderstood."Being more tactful and smooth in handling things, Penny knew when to yield and when to advance.Cedar hadn't planned on making a big deal out of it. In a calm voice, he simply said, "Just be more careful with the child next time."After speaking, he patted the little girl on the head. "Your name is Yasmine?""Yes." Yasmine nodded enthusiastically. "What about you?""I'm Cedar."Cedar smiled at her, a soft dimple forming on his cheek. The usual cold aura vanished in an instant, replaced by a warm, radiant charm that even left Penny mesmerized."Hey! He's gone, and you're still staring?"Jessica gave Penny a nudge in disgust. "Wipe the drool off your face."Penny instinctively touched the corner of his mouth. "What drool?""In your eyes.""Ugh! You're so annoying! Come on! That guy was really handsome. If we hadn't jumped to conclusions and y

Willow was about to ask more questions when Theodore's voice suddenly came from behind her. "Your leg hasn't healed yet. Who told you to run around?"She hurriedly hung up the phone, but as she turned, she lost her balance. If Theodore hadn't been quick to grab her arm, she would have fallen flat on her face.Clutching his arm, Willow took a deep breath, still shaken. "You nearly gave me a heart attack! You know people can get scared to death, right?""As long as I do nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear."His words left her speechless. She let go of his arm and limped back toward the place where she had been resting. But before she could take more than two steps, Theodore caught her again. This time, he supported most of her weight, which made her walking much easier than before."You're so stubborn," he muttered under his breath as she discreetly put her phone away.Willow wasn't sure if Theodore had overheard her phone conversation, so she kept recalling the words that she

She's dead? Willow was fuming. Without thinking, she stormed over and interrupted their gossip. "You shouldn't speak if you don't know the facts. Have you ever met the new architect?"How can you talk about someone behind their back like this? What's wrong with being young? Does being young mean they can't be capable? Don't be so narrow-minded."The group was left dumbfounded. Seeing Willow dressed in expensive clothes and speaking with such authority, they assumed she was some higher-up doing an inspection. However, they hadn't heard of any female leaders on site.One of them asked boldly, "Who are you?""I'm…" Willow quickly came up with a thought. She said without feeling guilty, "I'm Mr. Bassett's secretary."The group exchanged confused glances. Mr. Bassett's secretary?"What? You don't believe me?" Willow's attitude was domineering."No! We believe you." They didn't mean any harm. They just had loose tongues, and now they were quick to apologize. "Sorry. We were just tal

Willow was furious, but she knew she was in the wrong.There was no point in dragging this out."I'm leaving!" she snapped as she rummaged through her bag for the car keys. After searching for a while, she still couldn't find them."What's wrong?"When faced with Theodore's question, Willow suddenly felt uneasy. "There should be a spare key for your car, right?"Theodore instantly understood what she was saying. "There is, but it's at home. Just leave the car here. I'll have someone come and pick it up later.""Then I'll get going first.""Are you sure you want to leave?" Theodore didn't try to stop her. His hands were casually tucked into his suit pockets as he asked, "Aren't you going to see Cedar?"Willow froze.She had followed Theodore here just to see Cedar. If she left without seeing him, she would just feel unsatisfied.After thinking it over, she decided to swallow her pride for the time being. "When is he coming?""I don't know. He had some last-minute business to

Inside the private dining room, Willow was flipping through the menu. "I remember you don't eat lamb.""Order whatever you like. I'm fine with anything.""Okay."Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted them. It was Willow's phone that rested on the table.Seeing "Penny" flash on the caller ID, she hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello?""Where are you?" The voice on the other end sounded playful.Willow glanced at the man across from her. Theodore was casually sipping tea and browsing the menu, not paying attention to her."I'm having lunch. Why?""What are you eating?""Private dining.""With whom?"As she began to feel that something was off, Willow cleared her throat. "Who else? I'm with my colleague."Even though she lowered her voice, the room wasn't that big. Theodore still caught the word "colleague". As he heard that word, he gazed at Willow coldly.Feeling guilty, Willow turned her body slightly to avoid his gaze. "This private dining place is
