However…"I'm no longer interested," Tina said, pressing her hand on his chest to push him away."Heh."Henry chuckled raspily. "Did you think I'm that easy? That you could put the moves on me and push me away whenever you like, hmm?"His large hand held her waist as he nibbled her earlobe, leaving her with a numbing tingle as it was Tina's most sensitive spot.She cringed into herself and felt that he was going to force herself on her.However, with Linda not around, all Tina wanted was for Henry to stay well away from her."Grandma's waiting for me!""She said she's tired after her twenty-hour flight." Henry snorted, cutting her off again. "She should be sleeping by now, so don't bother her."In fact, as Madam Barnes' memories had regressed to five years ago, she would be once again hoping that he would hook up with Linda, completely unaware that they had done it countless times in the memories she lost.Comment by _ Lunaelle: Linda or Tina?"You're not getting away from m

Amanda, Nora Spencer's assistant, was on hand to receive the trio when they arrived.She glanced at their work badges and finally turned to Tina, studying her for a moment before saying, "So, you're Tina Smith. Ms. Spencer thinks very highly of you.""Thank you." Tina nodded humbly. "I'll do my best not to let her down."Amanda's scowl remained, and she even snorted. "That can wait until you pass the internship."That was when Linda suddenly said, "You're a coffee person, right? Here, Henry told me to give everyone some. I can get you more if you like it."As she spoke, she took out an exquisitely decorated coffee tin.Amanda had actually missed the part where Linda mentioned Henry, but her eyes lit up when she saw the label.As a coffee lover, she certainly recognized the Barnes Special Brew that even money could not buy, which she had been yearning to have a taste for a while.She had naturally heard that one of the interns was in a relationship with Henry but dismissed it as

With those words, Tina put away the magazine, ignoring Linda as she opened the door and left.Linda was left gritting her teeth.Trying to steal Henry from her?! Dream on!Still, she quickly composed herself and headed out with a smile.Glancing at Tina as she used the printer, Linda suddenly asked out loud, "Everyone! Why don't we have dinner together tonight?"Someone asked jokingly, "Are you buying?"Linda smiled and nodded. "Yes, Henry just called, saying that he's inviting everyone to Orange Tower tonight to celebrate my new job. Is everyone here able to make it?""Yes, yes, of course!""We're talking about Orange Tower! I'll go even if hell rains down upon me! The food is extraordinary, and we can have a taste thanks to Linda!"It was both a joke and a statement of fact—Orange Tower was the most famous restaurant in Jadelight and a subsidiary of Barnes Group.Only the rich and powerful got to go there."It's really nothing. Just make sure to order anything you like." L

Releasing Henry's arm just then, Linda walked up to her seat, picking up her glass and pouring it full. "Sorry I have to leave early, but let's have a toast!"Tina did not move, so Linda stared pointedly at her.As everyone else followed suit, Tina had no choice but to take a half-hearted sip.She was already tipsy after drinking a little earlier.On the other hand, as Linda chugged her drink, she wobbled as she put her glass down, falling unsteadily into Henry's arms.Rubbing her temples as if sick, her gaze was unfocused as she purred, "I'm feeling faint… Let's go home, Henry."That last part was clearly to tell everyone how intimated they were."Yeah." Henry nodded, putting a hand around her waist and leading her out of Tidal Court.But as he turned, his gaze darkened as he glanced at Tina again, who kept her head down and never looked at him.-Everyone was clearly relieved about Henry's departure nonetheless—even if they were keen to meet a big-shot like him, the formles

As Henry approached, his powerful masculine musk shrouded her, with Linda's perfume in the mix.The combination of the two—the hint of flirting—left Tina retching. "Bleurgh!""Don't you dare!"Henry's face dropped, and he promptly released her to sidestep away, remembering how Tina had vomited into his face before.Still, Tina did not let it out—she seized the moment to stride toward a bench, reclining against it to ease her dizziness.Once she caught her breath, she ignored Henry and whipped out her phone, ready to call for a cab.Henry stood there, watching her with an impassive gaze before taking out his phone too and tapped on the screen a few times before pocketing it again.Before Tina could get a cab, a bank app notification appeared on her screen.She tapped on it and was left staring at a wire transfer from Henry, and she frowned at the number of zeros.What?Tina was too sluggish from alcohol to understand, until Henry's deep voice spoke overhead, "It's twice the pr
