"You can't back out of what you've already said. It's out in the open now, and there's no point denying it," Macie said. She continued, "Sean was just treating Xavier to lunch after his court win. It had nothing to do with whatever Xavier said earlier."Alice raised an eyebrow as she listened to Macie's voice message.Unfortunately, she couldn't reach Xavier just then. If she had, she would've asked him directly and watched how Macie kept trying to deny it.At that instant, another voice message from Macie popped up."Seriously, stop overthinking everything and get back to work. If you're free tonight, come over for dinner," she said.After listening to the message, Alice didn't hesitate to name a couple of dishes and told Macie to prepare them before she arrived.Just as Alice put down her phone to return to work, a new message notification popped up. She glanced at it and saw that it was from Sean.He asked, "Did you tell Macie that I was the one who helped her collect the evi

"Honestly, there's no need to go all out for Sean. If you just want to be polite, a few thousand bucks for a nice pen would do," Alice suggested."But I've already bought something," Macie replied.Alice was stunned. "You did? What did you get? Why didn't you tell me?"Macie replied, "A pair of cufflinks, but I didn't buy them just to thank him for this. It's because he gave me an expensive perfume yesterday, and the cufflinks are my way of returning the gesture."I still haven't picked out a thank-you gift for him. Do you want to help me choose one when you have time?"A few thousand dollars for a pen was definitely out of the question, especially since it was a gift for Sean. Macie thought that something too cheap wouldn't be appropriate and might even be frowned upon.On the other end of the line, Alice seemed a little emotional and unsure of what to say. Finally, she sighed and said, "May, you're too worried about what others think. Sean gave you that perfume as an apology.

The mystery was finally solved. The misunderstanding wasn't Macie's fault, nor Sean's, but it was Xavier's.And now Xavier had the nerve to ask Sean out for a free meal like nothing was wrong?Sean's face was blank, but his glare was sharp enough to make the presenter's voice shrink to a murmur. Under that stare, the presenter was convinced his whole presentation was a complete mess."Are you done?" Sean asked as he looked at the projection screen."Not yet…" the employee responded cautiously. Then, he swore, "Mr. Hart, I'll keep improving. I promise the next version will be even better."Sean frowned and said, "I haven't given you any feedback yet."He couldn't understand why they would decide that it was bad without waiting for his feedback.The employee, already nervous, thought to himself, "Your expression already told me that it wasn't good. Now, I'm just hoping I won't get yelled at…"Sean continued, "Keep going."The employee, visibly anxious, turned the pages. His conf

Xavier replied to Sean's message. "Well, Macie didn't buy it. What I'm trying to say is, I really tried to help you, but it didn't work out."Sean gritted his teeth and sent a voice message. "So, now you want me to thank you?"Xavier made the call, and Sean took the fall. Now, Xavier wanted a thank-you for his help. Sean couldn't see the logic in that.After hearing his tone, Xavier couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He thought that Sean was interested in Macie and wondered if he was just denying his feelings.Xavier replied, "Fine. I guess I went overboard. I thought you had a crush on Macie."Sean hesitated before saying, "She's just my sister's friend, nothing more."Xavier raised an eyebrow. "Then, why were you messing with Macie?""...It was a misunderstanding. But I'm making up for it now. We haven't crossed paths since then," Sean explained.Xavier crossed his arms and didn't respond to his friend's message.Sean sent another voice message."Anyway, no more matchmakin

Around 20 minutes later, Edward's phone buzzed with a location update. He grabbed his jacket and left the office."I'm going to the Bloom & Bite. I've got a dinner meeting about a partnership," he told the bodyguard standing by the door.The bodyguard nodded and followed him to the car.Edward had lost the divorce case yesterday. But because he planned to appeal, Yosef was furious and refused to call off the team tasked with keeping track of him.They arrived at the restaurant, and the bodyguard moved to follow Edward inside. But Edward turned and said coldly, "Wait here.""Yes, sir." The lead bodyguard nodded and stayed behind.Although Yosef had ordered them to stay within three feet of Edward at all times, they still had to follow the latter's instructions. They were allowed some discretion as long as he wouldn't hassle his ex-wife.After using a reasonable excuse to get rid of those annoying bodyguards, Edward entered the restaurant. He stood in the first-floor lobby and s
