“Can you wait for me for thirty minutes?” Hilliard asked with a serious look on his face.

Their eyes locked, and her heart began to race.
She quickly looked away and gave in, “Alright, thirty minutes. If you’re even a minute late, I’m Leaving.
“Okay,” Hilliard said and instantly returned to his work.
Later that evening, the business party took place in a bar.
Laughter and revelry filled the air in the private room, where more than ten people had gathered.
Jennifer and Hilliard arrived last, and everyone else was already enjoying themselves.
Hilliard had always been immersed in medical research and rarely dabbled in Simmons Group’s affairs or social events.
He loathed social gatherings. The strong scent of alcohol in the air made him frown, and he appeared distant and cold since his arrival.
Jennifer understood he wasn’t accustomed to such gatherings. She muttered as they entered, “If you’re uncomfortable, you can wait for me outside or take a taxi home.”
After she said that, she made to enter the private room and wore a gentle smile on her face.
However, Hilliard tightly held her wrist, looking upset.
“Jennifer, do you often attend events like this?”
She hid her sadness and replied casually, “As the president of Turner Group, it’s my duty to attend these occasions, whether I like them or not.”
She shrugged his hand off and walked in.
Jennifer was greeted warmly by the people inside immediately they saw her.

Someone saw Hilliard behind her and commented, “I heard you called off your engagement. Is this your new boyfriend? He’s quite handsome!”
Jennifer turned and saw Hilliard standing quietly behind her.
She smiled and explained, “This is my new secretary. He came with me to gain some experience.”
After responding to the questions, she whispered to Hilliard, “Why are you still here? You shouldn’t be here. Please go outside.”
Hilliard shook his head and firmly stated, “If you are able to deal with these situations, then there is no reason for me to avoid them.”
Seeing his determination, Jennifer didn’t insist further. She took his hand and led him to an empty sofa.
He stared at their intertwined hands, feeling the warmth from her palm.
During dinner, everyone raised a toast to Jennifer, and Hilliard graciously drank on her behalf.
