"I know. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Jenner," Cheryl said.Rashad stood with his hands in his pockets, looking somewhat regretful. "I thought you would be my biggest competitor, Ms. Shaw. I never expected you to just give up. I'm really curious. What could be so important that you'd walk away from an opportunity like this?"The work environment at Attenborough Group was actually pretty harmonious, with very little scheming and backstabbing. Rashad himself was a very straightforward person as well. He had originally planned to compete with Cheryl fairly, never imagining that she would leave halfway.Just because of one phone call? Just how important was the call that it made her give up just like that?Cheryl's eyes lowered slightly, and her brows furrowed ever so slightly. "Maybe I'm just not meant for the VP spot.

Ruby tilted her head to look at him, the smile in her eyes sparkling like starlight that couldn't be hidden."But seriously, a man and a woman in a hotel room, alone… I'm the woman here, and I'm not even panicking, yet you, a grown man, are freaking out that badly? Your face has gone completely pale. You look like a little kid who did something wrong."Benjamin's brows knitted tightly. The veins in his temple pulsed faintly, and his expression was filled with nothing but agony and seriousness.In the past, he'd had one-night stands with women before after nights of drinking, and he'd never thought much of it. They were all consenting adults, so sleeping together wasn't a big deal at all, and he never took it to heart. If a woman became clingy, all it took was some money to send her on her way.But now, Benjamin felt a sense of guilt. He even felt… dirty.His gaze grew increasingly cold. After a second, he took a deep breath, his expression turning grave. "Whatever happened last night,
