“
I’ma little cold…”
“Hmm.” In the blink of an eye, Bryson reverted to his usual aloof demeanor.
Yosef was oddly relieved to see it.
“Boss, all the news regarding yesterday’s incident have been wiped out. No one is currently discussing the matter, at least not online. We have also secured the business cooperation the Edwards family had been working on. Do you have any other instructions?”
Bryson narrowed his eyes, his voice icy.
“I heard that the Patel Group is planning a resurgence in the business scene.”
“That is correct. The Patels are looking to enter into a marriage alliance with the Edwards family. The merger would certainly benefit both parties’ ventures in Valmere, but nothing that would be of consequence to us.”
Bryson drummed his fingers on the table, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
“We’re taking all the orders that have been made to the Patel Group this month.”
“Uh… I understand, Boss.”
After exiting the CEO’s office, Yosef paused and allowed himself a long sigh of relief.
Then, he took out his phone and hurriedly sent a message to a small group chat.

[Explosive news! It looks like Mr. Mitchell is into someone! ]
A barrage of replies immediately came, ranging from strings of question marks to bouncing avatars. Some replies were questioning him if he was telling the truth or not, but overall, everyone was eager to get more details.
[I’m pretty sure I’m right! You weren’t there to see it, but the boss was smiling at his phone just now! It was right after he received a message! ]
[No way, the boss was smiling?! Quit playing with us! I’ve never seen such a phenomenon before!]
[Please, everyone knows that the big boss never smiles. His natural face doesn’t come with a smile, end of story.]
[Are you having fun with your jokes, Yosef? Fine, I’ll play along for now. So, who is this mystery woman that our boss apparently fancies, anyway?]
Yosef huffed and typed furiously at his phone. He was still right next to the door to Bryson’s office. [I’m not sure, I haven’t seen her yet. But she can’t be an ordinary person.]
[I agree! Whoever catches our boss’ attention must be a goddess descended from the heavens.]
[Quit blabbering like an idiot! The boss isn’t in the group, so there’s no point to your cringey flattery!]
While Bryson’s subordinates busied themselves with guessing what kind of person Hannah was, she was walking out into the hall after finishing her afternoon classes. She was accosted by Declan outside of her office.
He looked miserable and utterly worn out, with dark circles under his eyes. He had been swamped with company matters recently, and he also had to bail Mr. and Mrs. Patel out last night.
Declan stepped directly into Hannah’s path, his face glum and morose.
