“Not true at all. All the young women in the office have their eyes on you. Mr. Holcomb, maybe you should pay
attention to them instead,” | said with a teasing grin.
Jared's face soured a bit. “Don’t mess around. You know what's really on my mind.”
“So, your mom's not hounding you to have a son anymore?” | teased, grinning mischievously.
Jared's expression turned a shade darker. “Yvonne is all | need.”
“Oh, but your mom's running around like crazy. Word is, she’s been making you take all sorts of tonics every day,
just hoping you'll hurry up and give her a grandson,” | said, bursting out laughing.
Quinn had deliberately let this slip tothe last twe bumped into each other.
Jared gavea helpless look. “Yeah, I've had nosebleeds from all that. I've taken more cold showers than | can
count. Satisfied now?”
| instantly stopped messing around and put on a serious face. “When am | flying to the United Kingdom? Am |
going by myself?”
“No, the company’s sending someone else with you,” Jared said.
“Who?” | asked, a little surprised.

Jared replied, “Elaine.”
| blinked. ‘Wait, isn’t she the manager at Jared’s other investment firm?‘ | thought.
“Oh, so it’s her,” | said, the nringing a bell.
Jared caught the glint in my eyes and said with a smirk, “Don’t go stirring up any . She’ll be my eyes on
you.”
| shot back, a little annoyed, “I'm just going there to study. What trouble could | even get into?”
Jared looked at me, clearly unconvinced. “With all those tall, handsBritish guys around, I'm afraid you might
not be able to hold yourself back.”
“Jared, I'm not that easy,” | retorted, genuinely irritated.
Jared suddenly chuckled, his eyes glinting with mischief as he looked at me. “Is that so? | wouldn't bet on it.”
| was left speechless by his teasing. Jared, seeing he'd gotten to me, wisely slipped out the door.
| crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair, making up my mind to put myself on sexual hibernation from
now on.
Men only slowdown, and honestly, even without them, my life is never boring.

Every win at work givesreal fulfillment and confidence. This kind of solid, steady growth keeps me
centered.
Fearless and unshaken, riding out every wave until the storm passes-that’s the life I'm aiming for.
Hayes Corp had its quarterly dividend in April, and the payout | got was honestly jaw-dropping. With the salary
from Jared's side and the hotel's profit share, my wealth was growing at a pace that genuinely made my heart
sing.
| decided to buy a cozy little villa downtown and get back into sof my old hobbies.
I've always loved tending to a garden and soaking in the full bloom of spring. If | had a peaceful courtyard all to
myself, | could turn it into my dream sanctuary.
For this villa hunt, | asked Jared to scout out soptions for me. Once | got back from my studies, I'd be ready
to make a move.
Jared looked genuinely surprised when he heard | was planning to buy a villa.
“Wantto sign over the old place we used to live in?” Jared offered.
“Nope, not interested,” | replied, shaking my head.
“Still got bad memories from it?” Jared asked quietly.
| nodded. “That's a scar I'll carry for life. Wouldn't you agree?”
Jared let out a soft sigh. “In that case, I'll sell the villa and just get a new place. I'll check with Yvonne first-if
she’s okay with it, I'll put it on the market.”
“You two can make the call,” | said. I'm not the owner of that place anymore, so I'll stay out of it.
“Why not get a bigger place instead of a small one? Prices haven't gone crazy yet,” Jared said, idly playing with a
trinket on my desk.
“No need. It'll just beand Yvonne living there, so a big place would be a waste,” | replied earnestly.
Jared looked a bit taken aback, but he nodded anyway. “Alright, I'll keep an eye out.”
When Nathan found out | was going to the UK, he crushing to my office.
He was standing outside just as Jared was walking out.
“Mr. Holcomb, why is this arranged so suddenly?” Nathan asked, his irritation showing.
Jared glanced back at me. “Does he really have to stick his nose into every decision?”
| was taken aback. “I never said anything about that.”
Nathan said in a calm voice, “Don’t be surprised. I've got an informant inside your company.”
