-- Beginning of Season 2 --Knock… Knock…Before I even had the chance to answer, the office door suddenly opened.I looked up from the stack of documents covering my desk and immediately frowned when I saw Leonard and Sasha walking inside. Both of them looked unusually tense. Sasha’s face had gone pale, while Leonard’s jaw was tight as if he had been holding back bad news the entire way here.A strange feeling settled in my chest.“What happened?” I asked quickly.Neither of them answered right away.Instead, Sasha hurried toward the television mounted on the wall beside the bookshelf. She grabbed the remote with slightly trembling hands and turned the TV on. The loud voice of a news reporter instantly filled the room.“Breaking News — A fire followed by a massive electrical explosion has occurred at a prison in Texas. Authorities confirmed that several inmates managed to escape during the chaos and are currently being pursued.”My eyes immediately locked onto the screen.The footage

Everything happened too fast. When the speeding car was about to hit me, a pair of strong hands suddenly grabbed my body and pulled me back forcefully. I jerked sharply as the world spun around me before I hit the cold pavement hard and my breath gasped in shock. The deafening sound of the car rushing past echoed in the parking area. It almost hit me and made my chest rise and fall rapidly as I tried to process what had just happened. Then slowly, I lifted my head and froze as I realized who had pulled me out of danger. Dark eyes returned my gaze with an intensity that made my chest pound faster again. Because those eyes. Oh God... I knew those eyes. Dominic.“Damn it!” he cursed loudly, his voice deep and angry as he quickly looked toward Serge, who had already moved in front of us protectively. “Chase that car, don’t let them get away, Serge.” he ordered coldly. “Yes, boss.” Serge immediately ran toward the other vehicle without hesitation. Meanwhile, I remained mo

Not long after we finished eating and the chocolate pudding finally arrived at our table, my phone suddenly rang. I glanced at the screen and immediately saw Leonard's name there. Without thinking much, I quickly answered the call. “Hello, Leonard?” His voice sounded serious and tense from the other side of the phone. “Sasha has already told me about what happened,” he said. “I also saw the news about the attack attempt near your campus.” Even through the phone, his voice still sounded as formal and firm as usual. “Are you okay, Miss Smith?” A small smile automatically appeared on my lips. Even after everything we've been through together, Leonard still insisted on calling me Miss Smith instead of just using my name. Such a stiff person. “I’m fine, Leonard,” I answered gently. “Sorry for making everyone worry.” “You don’t need to apologize,” he replied immediately. “Your safety is more important.” His serious tone made me smile.As Leonard continued talking about tightening

The next morning, reality returned far too quickly.As much as I wanted to stay in that peaceful little bubble with Dominic after our walk last night, the day has come to the end and reminds me that work still waits for me like always.He dropped me and watched me walk inside my mansion before he left. I could only wish he would come and stay with me, but I guess it’s still too soon.The next day, the moment my car entered the company building area, I immediately realized something was different.Seems like the security had doubled overnight.Several black SUVs were parked around the front entrance while men dressed in dark suits stood near every corner of the property, speaking through earpieces and scanning the surroundings carefully. Some guarded the main gate, while others moved around the parking area checking vehicles one by one.Even before stepping out of the car, I could already see Gregori standing near the lobby entrance with Simon and Dominic beside him. The three of them
