"Thank you for your hard work these past six months," Luke said, expressing his satisfaction with William Henderson's performance."I've simply been following your instructions, Mr. Walker," William replied respectfully. "As you predicted, Mr. Thornton's appetite became insatiable once I loosened the reins a bit."Luke had intentionally given Neil Thornton the opportunity to make mistakes and expose his weaknesses. He took a sip of coffee from the cup on his desk. "He thought his ties with the Walkers meant I couldn't touch him.""He was wrong. You're the real decision-maker at Hanque, Mr. Walker!" William's insight far surpassed Neil's."I have no patience for disloyalty," Luke stated."Rest assured, Mr. Walker, my loyalty to you is unwavering.""I trust you. You may go now."William acknowledged and left.Only Luke and I remained in the office. I informed the company's PR department that Neil had been taken by the police and instructed them to prepare a response.After hangi

"Now that you're Luke's assistant, do you think you're too important to pay attention to where you're walking?" Joey asked, clearly annoyed. She grabbed the design sketch from my hand and put it back in her folder."Your design is really unique," I commented."Your background has nothing to do with this type of design. As an amateur, you shouldn't pretend to be an expert and make random comments!" Joey snapped. She looked at the time, realizing she had an appointment to keep. She brushed off where I had bumped into her and turned to leave.While talking to Joey, I had been carefully studying her expressions. The design sketch was the same one IQ had sent to my work email – Luke's assistant's email. Joey knew I was Luke's assistant. If she were IQ, her reaction to me seeing the sketch should have been different.Hanque's new car model was progressing smoothly, and we couldn't afford any problems at this critical stage. The sketch in Joey's possession was essentially Hanque's lifelin

"Jen," Penelope's voice came through."Are you settled in safely?" I asked."I've been in Johnsonville all along," Penelope admitted. There was a hint of guilt in her tone for keeping this from me."The most dangerous place can be the safest. Uncle and Aunt won't expect you to still be here."In the past, Penelope used to move to a new city before her aunt and uncle could find her. However, this time, doing the opposite might save us a lot of trouble."Jen, I need to tell you something," Penelope said cautiously.Thinking that she might be in trouble again, I reassured her, "Penelope, I've told you before, if I can help with anything, I will. Don't hesitate to ask.""Jen, I'm sorry. I lied to you. Those design sketches... I sent them to your email using IQ's name.""Penelope, could you repeat that?"Penelope was IQ? I had seen her background - she studied journalism, with no connection to AI or smart technology. Was she some kind of self-taught prodigy?I thought I must have

Luke would handle the situation, so I didn't need to specifically seek him out. Earlier at the restaurant, Wendy and I had only eaten a little, so we were still hungry.We discovered a food truck on the side of the street and quickly grabbed a bite before Wendy dropped me off at my apartment complex.Feeling restless, I took my dog, Goofy, for a walk around the complex, frequently glancing towards the entrance.After more than thirty minutes with no sign of Luke's car, I brought back Goofy, who was annoyed by my dog's pestering, and headed home with my pet.Just as I finished washing up, Penelope called."Jen, I've spoken with Jon. He can modify the original design," Penelope said, feeling guilty about Joey stealing the sketch and trying to find a solution. "Jon is brilliant. His modifications will make it significantly different from the previous design, so it won't impact Hanque's new model launch.""I believe in Jon's abilities too, but he doesn't have full legal capacity. Joe

"Joey, how are you any different from those who bullied Jon in the orphanage?" I couldn't bear Joey's angry shouts. "Jon may have a disability, but he deserves your respect. Didn't you do everything to bring him to live with you so he wouldn't be bullied by others?"Now those bullies were gone, but Joey had become the one hurting Jon."I just took one of his sketches, and he's gone crazy, rummaging through my things and damaging a lot of stuff. What's wrong with me yelling at him?"Joey's anger was skyrocketing."The sketch is his. It's something he cherishes," I explained. Putting myself in his shoes, I knew I'd be angry if someone took my work without asking."I provided everything for him. What's wrong with taking one sketch?""..." It wasn't just about one sketch. Joey's logic was unbelievable! "Jon isn't your property. You need his permission to take his work.""He's not normal. I can't communicate with him!""..." Joey was being stubborn. In her mind, Jon was defective. I
