As one of the secretaries to Spectrum Group's CEO, Phoebe knew Seavale's finance scene pretty well. Flynn's game had real potential, but there was no reason for Evan to show up in person.If Evan had come himself, it only proved that this wasn't a project Gary had discovered independently. She figured that Evan had probably given him a call, and he'd done the due diligence afterward.Phoebe had drawn a clear line with Connor, which naturally extended to Evan, his good friend.She planned to have Flynn and Blake turn down the partnership. Then, she would invest in their company herself.But Flynn beat her to it and spoke first. "Mr. Lloyd, the deal's off."Blake was stunned. "Wait, what? Seriously, Flynn?""Pack it up. We're done here." Flynn's tone was forceful and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.Blake was so angry that his face turned blotchy.Before coming over, Evan hadn't expected to find Phoebe there, too. After hearing Gary mention her, he'd ultimately decided

Evan was very good with words. His explanation for investing in Flynn's company made perfect sense, and Phoebe accepted it.But she'd overlooked one premise—he was Connor's friend, and an extremely close one. His relationship with Connor mirrored the one she shared with Alexandra. People thought differently, sure, but Phoebe would never go against Alexandra.Evan could talk, but at that moment, he was silent.Phoebe wasn't in a hurry; she sipped her coffee leisurely. If Evan didn't want to talk, she wouldn't press him. Whatever he was thinking wouldn't change her decision to turn down his investment, anyway. She just couldn't help feeling that something was off.Evan's gaze drifted to the window. He was a straight shooter. If he liked someone, he would take the initiative. He had never imagined that there would be a day when he would find himself unable to convey his feelings.Phoebe had drawn a firm line between herself and Connor, and her stance was resolute. Evan knew that if h

The thought had just popped into Flynn's mind when he pulled himself back. He said, "…He likes treating all your nonsense like a joke!"The fact that Phoebe had fallen for Connor and insisted on marrying him had Flynn write her off as a fool—someone who would lose her head over love.Evan might be a scoundrel, but he was great at putting on a polished front. He was handsome and loaded, making him the complete package. Now that Phoebe was divorced and single, who knew what would happen? If Evan pursued her, she might fall in love all over again.She didn't seem to have that in mind for now, but Flynn was bracing for it just in case.Phoebe rolled her eyes. "I don't see how he likes making a joke out of my business."Jared, Lance, and Dahlia were the ones who treated her like a punchline. Evan's explanation was perfectly reasonable, and he sounded genuinely sincere. At the very least, he spoke to her a lot kinder than Flynn did."You're the type who doesn't realize that you've be

Flynn had been in a pretty good mood this week. First, the issue with the data repository had been resolved, and he'd met a representative from one of the top venture capital firms in the country.Even though they'd run into Evan, seeing how Phoebe had turned him down so firmly put Flynn more at ease. Malcolm had shown up to bluster a bit, but he was so full of himself that he only sounded more ridiculous the more he talked. Flynn honestly hadn't even gotten mad at him.It helped that Phoebe had coaxed him, saying that she wouldn't let Evan laugh at him.Flynn didn't show it, but he had to admit that he was secretly thrilled. At the very least, Phoebe clearly cared about him. He was the kind of guy who responded well to kindness, not force. If Phoebe treated him well, he would do the same.The only problem was Blake, the clown, who enjoyed squeezing himself into the middle just because he lacked a sister. Whenever Flynn wanted to speak to Phoebe, he never got the chance.So, when

The countdown to Phoebe's divorce was reaching its end.She was in a great mood. Even though she hadn't received the divorce certificate yet, in less than a month, she had completely turned the page on her chapter with Connor and the past three years. With her mindset shifted, she saw him differently now.Flynn's mood turned foul when he saw her so happy after the call. Wearing a dark expression, he growled, "Are you that happy because Connor called you?""I'm only happy because he's upset," Phoebe said. She didn't know why Flynn kept misunderstanding her as Gideon did.She rolled her eyes. "I'm happy because of the call about work."That made Flynn relax, but he still didn't understand. "You're so capable, yet you're working as someone's secretary. Does it make you that happy?"Blake couldn't understand it, either. "Sure, you're a secretary in a big company, but you won't make that much in a month. Why waste your time there?""Do you think any company's data repository can comp
