Dominic smiled as he set down his glass."Since you're late, you'll have to drink as a penalty, even though today was supposed to be my treat."Ian and Carlisle applauded spontaneously, praising Dominic for his straightforwardness, while Kathy found the situation somewhat amusing.Dominic's acting was so convincing that it seemed almost real. The size and worth of Henderson Corp far surpassed that of Ian and Dan. It was already a privilege for Dominic to personally engage in conversation with the two of them.In contrast to Carissa, who held the title of executive officer based on personal connections with little influence on the company's operations, Dominic was the true CEO of Henderson Corp, making their statuses incomparable.While dining with Dominic, Ian, and Carlisle seemed to have a touch of flattery in their motives, despite having recently established Henderson Corp."Do you both already understand why you were invited here today?" Dominic inquired with a smile directed at I

"A call? What call are you talking about? Carissa is too much!" Ian exclaimed, rising from his chair with a flushed and enraged expression, seeming ready to engage in a confrontation at any moment."Mr. Ian, please take a moment to drink some water and compose yourself. There's no need to let Carissa's actions upset you," Kathy, adept at gauging the atmosphere and possessing excellent communication skills, swiftly handed Ian a glass of water.Ian gazed at Kathy, who exuded understanding, kindness, and competence, momentarily puzzled as to why he had ever agreed to work with Carissa."Relax, buddy. I doubt Carissa drafted any concrete plans. She was likely just trying to praise you and boost your spirits," remarked Carlisle, an older individual well-versed in the Book of Changes, offering a perspective deeper than Ian's on the situation.Kathy and Dominic shared a glance, finding themselves developing a newfound respect for Carlisle."Really?" Ian inquired skeptically after sipping the

Kathy acknowledged to herself that she felt drawn to him, but soon after, she regained her composure. What she truly desired was not one-sided protection and promises. To put it differently, Kathy, a fledgling manager, still felt inadequate compared to Dominic, a young CEO who had achieved public recognition and even appeared on the Forbes list. Many women sought to marry him, and he was involved in various industries beyond Henderson Corp, whereas Kathy lacked comparable skills. In essence, she saw this as an opportunity for a fresh start. Despite this, she was unwilling to let go of her feelings for Dominic. She understood his affection for her and was in touch with her own emotions."Kathy, I know you have feelings for me as well. It's okay, I can wait. Whenever you're ready, just turn around, and I'll be here for you."Standing in front of Kathy's apartment door, Dominic hesitated to let her out of his sight. Grasping her gently, he spoke. Earlier, Kathy's lack of response, neith

Dominic paused, his eyes clouded and uncertain, before eventually nodding in agreement. "It's my first time, and I never imagined raw meat could be so off-putting."Kathy placed the meat in her hand into the shopping cart and smiled. "But don't you love beef sauce? If I don't get these unappetizing items, how will I make it for you?" It turned out she wanted to cook for herself.A warm feeling washed over Dominic, causing his lips to twitch uncontrollably. Finally, when Kathy turned to look at the vegetables, he gazed at her back and smiled."Do you want to have stir-fried vegetables instead? I remember we had a lot of fresh veggies at home. We can make a delicious stir-fry for dinner tonight.”At that moment, she was dressed in white.As the weather had grown colder, she favored wearing a fluffy white sweater, giving her a petite and cute appearance. Holding a carrot in her hand, she resembled a small rabbit, prompting Dominic to feel the urge to playfully pinch her cheeks.Her dai

Dominic was taken aback by Kathy's immediate response, not expecting her first reaction to be an offer of assistance."Why are you staring at me like that?" Kathy peered into Dominic's eyes with curiosity and asked, "Is there something wrong with my appearance?"Dominic shook his head. "No, I just feel incredibly fortunate to have you by my side."Kathy chuckled softly and tenderly ran her fingers over the documents. "I should be the lucky one. To earn your trust, be a part of your team, grow with you, and explore new horizons—it feels like starting a business all over again with Xavier."The time spent starting a business with Xavier held special meaning for them.Looking back on that time and recalling Xavier's occasional moments of tenderness in her past life, Kathy found comfort in those memories. However, as she moved on and began anew, reminiscing about that period only brought about profound sadness.It became apparent that Xavier had orchestrated everything as a scheme to le
