Zoe's smile faltered. Although Ophelia thanked her politely, it was clear that Ophelia wanted her to leave. Zoe hadn't expected that. It looked like she wouldn't be rewarded for her supposed good deed. "You're right, Mrs. Hammond," Zoe said, quickly regaining her composure. "I won't bother you any longer."A flash of resentment crossed her eyes as she turned to leave.She couldn't help thinking how unfair it was that Rosalyn had so many people looking out for her.Ophelia watched Zoe walk away. Once the gate shut, she sighed helplessly and looked down at her crying daughter."Mom… that woman… Rosalyn… she…" Sue was still sobbing and couldn't get her words out properly."That's enough." Ophelia cut her off and waved toward the staircase. "Emma, help Sue back to her room and give her some hangover pills."The maid hurried over to support her, but Sue refused to cooperate. "Let go of me! I want to stay here until Eric returns… I want answers…""Eric isn't coming back tonight,

Eric was always testing Rosalyn's limits, but she was not buying his act this time. After packing up the first-aid kit, she looked down at him. "Being shameless again, Mr. Hammond?""How am I shameless?" Eric tilted his head as he tapped on the armrest. "I'm hurt, and you know it."Suddenly, he grabbed Rosalyn's wrist and gave her a tug.Caught off guard, Rosalyn landed on his lap."Eric!" She struggled to get up, but he held her firmly around the waist."Shh." Eric leaned close, his warm breath brushing her sensitive earlobe. "Let me hold you for a bit."Rosalyn froze.She could clearly feel the solid muscles of his thighs, and something else that was hardening. "You!" Her ears burned bright red. "Eric! You're shameless!"Eric chuckled, and she could feel the vibration of his chest on her back. "Honey, I'm only shameless with you."He rubbed against her deliberately and was pleased to see her blush spread all the way down her neck."Get out!" Rosalyn finally snapped. She

The airport terminal was crowded with people. Eric's gaze darkened when he spotted Tim at the check-in counter. Tim's dark gray suit made him stand out as he checked his watch."Thank you, Mr. Hammond. You can head back now," Rosalyn said politely.In Eric's eyes, her politeness was just a way of drawing a clear line between them.He had thought she was traveling alone. He had not expected Tim to be here as well."You should at least let me catch my breath, even when you're done using me," Eric said, glancing toward Tim in the distance. "I haven't even said hello to Mr. Zahn yet."Tim had noticed them too. His eyes flicked between the two before settling on Eric.He then walked up to them."Sorry for the trouble, and thank you, Mr. Hammond," Tim said. His tone was almost the same as Rosalyn's."No problem, Mr. Zahn. It's my job to see my wife off," Eric replied with a faint smile. Tim raised his brows slightly but said nothing. He looked at Rosalyn instead. "This trip is

The lights of the hotel corridor were soft and warm.Familiar footsteps sounded behind Rosalyn when she was in front of her room with the keycard in hand.It was Eric!He had followed her after all. Rosalyn felt a wave of helplessness. She then swiped her card at the door without turning around. When she was about to enter, Eric spoke up. "I'm in Room 2807, right across from you. If you need anything, feel free—"Bang!The only response he got was Rosalyn slamming the door shut.However, through the door, she still heard him say, "You barely ate anything just now, so I ordered room service. It'll be here soon."Rosalyn ignored him. She kicked off her high heels, walked to the couch, and tossed her bag onto it. Then, she went into the bathroom to remove her makeup.Just as the warm water washed the last traces of makeup from her face, the doorbell rang."Room service," the hotel staff called from outside.Rosalyn dried her hands and checked through the peephole. She op

Eric and Tim held each other's gaze for a moment. The air between them seemed to crackle with invisible sparks.In the end, Eric was the first to look away. He stood up, straightened the hem of his jacket, and said, "We've had the wine, and I've said what needed to be said. Good night, Mr. Zahn."After the door closed and his figure disappeared completely from sight, the smile on Tim's face slowly faded.He walked to the window, took out his phone, and dialed a number. "Look into Eric's connections here. Yes."At the same time, Eric returned to his own room and immediately called Chase. "Tomorrow, at seven in the morning, I want everything on Apex Group, especially a full list of clients tied to Mr. Lowe."After hanging up, he went to the window. From there, he could see the lights still on in Tim's room.Two men stood in silent confrontation. No words were spoken, yet there was still underlying tension.At seven in the morning, Rosalyn had just finished washing up when the door
