"Soup?" Frederick looked puzzled. "You want me to come in for soup, Ms. York?"He couldn't help but wonder what Jennifer was playing at."What else?" Jennifer tossed her hair back. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Officer Sanders, what's the occasion?""Jennifer, I came to see you because…I wanted to clear things up about last night." Donovan chuckled awkwardly. "I've got you some health supplements!"Jennifer responded coolly, "I'm fine, thanks. You ran pretty fast last night. With your speed, we might not have been caught by the Ripper."Donovan's expression shifted at her remark and he clarified, "I was going to get backup! I know there was a misunderstanding, which is why I brought a special gift to make up for you." He perked up and added, "I have an invitation to the Laguna Business Banquet hosted by the Tiger Faction. It's the event of the year with all the major company owners eager to attend."Jennifer lost her composure and asked, "An invitation? How did you manage tha

Frederick felt a bit shy and quickly looked away as he murmured, "Eva, I..."Eva interrupted him with a laugh. "I'm just kidding with you! Drop by my office before you leave, okay?"As she walked away, her hips swayed in a way that caught everyone's eye.John smirked and leaned in close to Frederick. He teased, "Fred, do you think Eva likes you? The way she looked at you, it's like she wants to gobble you up!"Mary chimed in with a grin. "I heard Eva's only thirty and has been divorced for over two years now. Women like that often feel lonely, you know."Embarrassed, Frederick shot them a glance and said, "You two are gossiping too much. Eva's just being nice because she's my boss. Don't read too much into it."However, he couldn't help but notice something strange about Eva’s chest—a dark aura seemed to hover over it. It definitely wasn't a good sign.With half an hour left in the workday, Frederick headed to Eva's office."Hi, Eva.""Hey, Fred! Come in, have a seat!" Frede

Frederick sneered and asked, "Eva, see that? If you had taken the pill earlier, you'd be in the same situation." Eva's eyes widened with shock. She wondered, "But those pills were made from herbal ingredients. How could they be harmful?" Frederick explained, "Even though the pills seem harmless, if you combine them with a mystic arrangement, they turn into deadly poison!" He pointed to a corner vase and continued. "These three roses here have been tampered with and placed in the worst spot in your office. It sends bad energy back to the person who owns the space. "Your desk is set up in a spot with the most intense negative energy. If you stay in that position for too long, you're just going to absorb all that negativity. Additionally, the meticulous arrangement of other items in your office, such as the aquarium, the sculpture, and even the shoe rack, creates a curse known as Cupid's Chain. "If you take the pill, the curse gets activated. You'll become helplessly obsessed with

"If you're willing, I'll meet any outrageous demand you have!" Marissa said with a flirtatious glance. "I can even dress up as any character you desire!" Disgusted, Frederick smacked her hand away and retorted sharply, "You could strip naked and throw yourself at me, and I still wouldn't be interested. Get lost!" He roughly pushed her aside and left the room quickly. To him, Marissa represented the worst sort of woman—no matter how physically attractive, she just turned his stomach. Inside the hotel room, Marissa's eyes followed Frederick with venom. "Frederick! How dare you reject me?” she muttered. “You'll regret what you've done today!" Suddenly, a man in a dark robe appeared. He smiled sinisterly and asked, "And what would you do to make him pay?" Startled, Marissa blurted out, "Who are you? Stay back, or I'll scream!" "Don't be afraid, I'm Mr. Z." He nonchalantly tossed a cheque on the table—a whopping million dollars. "I'm interested in what you offered him. Deal?"

Frederick's gaze was icy and intense. "Spill!” he snarled. “Who gave you the photos and told you to post them in the company group chat?"Frederick doubted Marissa could come up with this plan alone. Someone else had to be involved.Ivan suddenly smirked, his grin cold. "I just remembered—you can't kill me because I'm Director Zeke's man. If you do, Zeke will come after Jennifer, and she might even lose her position! She's only twenty-seven, and already the CEO of the company, but a lot of people in her family are jealous of her!"Frederick didn't react. "Fine, I won't kill you."Ivan got cocky and mocked, "Then let me go! You can fight, loser, but that's all. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!"Smack! Before Ivan could finish, Frederick's hand shot across his face, knocking out a front tooth.Ivan screamed in rage, "You mother—"Smack! Smack! Smack!Frederick didn't give him a chance to finish. He kept slapping him; his hits were relentless and rhythmic."Arg
