He chuckled and asked, “Do you want to keep it low–key or make a big fuss?” 

“Make a big fuss,” I replied without hesitation. 

“Leave it to me,” Jack nodded, helping me into the car. Drive safely and call me if anything comes up.” 

His voice was clear and gentle, possessing a magical calmness that could soothe. 

I drove out of the parking lot. When I stopped to pay the fee, I glimpsed through the rearview mirror and saw him still standing there, tall and straight, his gaze seemingly following the direction | departed. 

If I didn’t know about the many years he had admired another woman, I might have suspected he was secretly infatuated with me.

Familiar with the route, I drove towards the Frost Group. Along the way, I called Nancy. 

“Wait for me in the underground parking lot in ten minutes,” I said. 

“Charlotte, Nancy seemed somewhat taken aback. “I’m, I’m busy right now.” 

My tone turned cold. “Should I come up to find you then?” 

“Well… it’s better if I come down,” she replied reluctantly. 

Initially, I held a sliver of hope, thinking it might not be her. Perhaps I had overlooked something else. 

But her guilt was too apparent.

When I arrived, she was waiting in the parking spot where I usually parked, her face slightly pale. 

After I got out of the car, I went straight to the point. “Why did you do this?” 

I genuinely couldn’t understand. I considered myself a decent boss–I helped where I could and turned a blind eye to small issues. 

“Why… what do you mean?” Nancy avoided my gaze, uneasy. 

I pursed my lips. “Do I have to spell it out? You asked to ventilate the office, but were actually taking photos of my manuscripts?” 

Apart from this incident, I couldn’t think of any other oversight. 

Nancy interned with me during university, and I personally interviewed her. Among everyone at the Frost Group, she was the one I trusted the most. 

Apparently, unreliability wasn’t just about marriages and men. 

Nancy fell silent for a moment. I understood. “You don’t like Jessica much, What did she promise you? A promotion or a raise?” 

“Neither.” She suddenly raised her head, a hint of madness in her eyes. “She said she would introduce me to my idol! She said although she and my idol aren’t close, she’s willing to help me make a connection.” 

I couldn’t believe it. “Just 

for that?”

Before this, I only knew she admired Jack, but I never expected her obsession to reach this level.

“I like him, I’ve liked him for a long time!” She was very excited, blaming me, “You knew I liked him, and yet you not only kept it from me but also went to concerts with him… without even thinking of introducing us!” 

“Nancy.” I couldn’t help but frown. I then said coldly, “Forget about the fact that I’ve already talked to him about introducing you. Even if I didn’t, you have no right to blame me. He’s my friend, and whether I want. to introduce you depends on my mood, not something I owe you!” 

“This is about retrieving the project’s design documents on behalf of the Frost Group. Commercial theft isn’t a trivial matter. Think about what you’re going to do!” 

After saying that, I got into the car and was about to leave. 

Unexpectedly, Nancy chuckled. “As your assistant for these years, I’ll kindly advise you to think about how you’ll survive in the design industry in the future.” 

“What do you mean survive?” I lowered the car window, showing her the recording interface on my phone. “Nancy, when we’re on opposite sides, I won’t hold back.”
