Somehow, this simple handshake made Elias, who was sitting there, feel very displeased.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip. Instead of savoring the taste of the coffee, he
treated it like alcohol.
Amanda’s way of shaking hands with clients always made him feel uneasy. He wondered
how he managed to turn a blind eye to Grace’s intimate scenes, including sex scenes, with
male celebrities.
He had always thought he didn’t care about things like that. But now that he thought
about it, he probably didn’t care about whom Grace got intimate with.
Amanda, on the other hand….
The burning and possessive gaze made Amanda feel uncomfortable. She had to send
signals to Elias with her eyes to not stare at her.
Zayne, who was sitting opposite her, noticed her sending knowing looks to someone with
her eyes and couldn’t help but follow her line of sight.
And in the next second, Amanda was ignored by the client right there and then.
“Oh my, Mr. Winters! What are you doing here?” Seeing Elias sitting next to the aisle,
Zayne stood up in surprise and went over to shake his hand.
Elias maintained an air of superiority and casually returned the handshake without
standing up.
“I’m waiting for Miss Bailey.” Elias replied while staring at Amanda.
Zayne, being an astute person at his age, could see what was going on at a glance and
pretended to be surprised. “So, you and Miss Bailey know each other, Mr. Winters? Are you
two… in a relationship?”
He had already seen this morning’s news about Elias and that actress breaking up. It
seems he has a newe target.
Amanda glared at Elias as if warning him. Don’t shoot your mouth off, or I’m going to block

Elias chuckled softly when he saw her glare. “No, but I am pursuing Miss Bailey. It all
depends on whether she accepts me or not.”
“Oh… I see. You have great taste, Mr. Winters! Are you by yourself? Why don’t we sit
together?”
Since Zayne didn’t normally have a chance to meet Elias, today was a great opportunity
for him. He wanted to play up this man of power and influence. If he could cooperate with
the Winters Enterprise in the future, his advertising company would become famous
overnight.
Amanda sighed and rubbed her forehead in frustration. Wherever Elias went, he always
stood out the most. No one could ignore him.
And now, he had stolen the limelight again. Does Mr. Jensen still care about the divorce or
is he only focused on business?
With that, Elias sat down next to her.
“Let’s get started, Miss Bailey. Let’s wrap it up quickly so that we don’t delay Mr. Winters’
appointment. with you. I can’t afford to take responsibility for that.” Zayne’s words were
as sweet as honey as he hoped to leave a good impression on Elias.
“Mr. Jensen, work is important to me. I take every case seriously. I heard you have many
concerns regarding the division of property and I have drafted a new divorce agreement.
Would you please check if the agreement is reasonable? Can you agree to it?”
Amanda then handed a document to the man across from her.
Zayne quickly scanned through the document and looked up. “I think it’s great,” he
commented. “I have no questions. I will leave this case to you, Miss Bailey. I feel assured
now.”
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Elias as he observed the latter’s reaction.
Amanda was speechless.
Zayne had been constantly reading Elias’ expressions. As such, he was being oddly
agreeable despite rejecting her drafts time and time again in the past.
Meanwhile, Elias appeared indifferent while he leisurely sipped his coffee in a calm and
composed
manner.
“So, should I hand this divorce agreement to your ex-wife’s lawyer? Do you truly have no
other questions?”
Amanda asked again, not convinced that Zayne wouldn’t change his mind once she was
back at work tomorrow despite his compliant behavior today.
“Mhm. I have none. I’ll entrust you with everything, Miss Bailey. I trust your abilities.”
“Well…” Amanda suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Zayne tactfully smiled. “Alright, let’s wrap up the work. Everything is going smoothly. You
two should go on your date. I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, he stood up to leave.
Elias was quite satisfied with the man’s actions and spoke up. “Wait a moment.”
“Mr. Winters… Is something the matter?” Zayne was slightly startled, thinking he had
done something wrong or said something amiss. He wanted to leave a good impression on
Elias whenever and wherever “Please give me your business card,” Elias uttered in a deep
voice. “For future collaboration.”
“Sure, sure! I’ll get it for you.” Zayne was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Elias to ask
for his business card on his own.
He took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it over carefully with both
hands.
After Elias accepted the business card, he gave Zayne one of his own. “Here’s my card.
We’ll get in touch for any potential collaborations.”
“Thank you, Mr. Winters. I’ll be at your service anytime!” Zayne couldn’t stop grinning
after he received
the business card.

Before he left. Zayne glanced at Elias sitting behind her and whispered to Amanda, “Miss
Bailey. I’m really grateful for you. You’re truly my benefactor. Do you know how badly I
want to cooperate with the Winters Enterprise? My advertising company would
immediately establish itself in the industry if we could work on a deal together.”
“Please don’t say that, Mr. Jensen. You’re still my client.”
“No, no. You truly are my benefactor. Thank you, Miss Bailey. I’ll take my leave now and
not disturb your date.”
Amanda couldn’t help but sigh when she saw the CEO of the advertising company off.
Just what was that?
She didn’t even have to persuade him. It is all thanks to Elias, the revered man sitting
there, that today’s work came to a smooth end.
As Amanda returned to her seat, she picked up her coffee cup and took a sip.
“Are you upset? Didn’t it go well?” Elias couldn’t understand why she had that expression.
Amanda couldn’t help but roll her eyes and replied to him without any emotion, “He was
being so agreeable because of your presence, not because of the divorce agreement I
drafted.”
“Does that really matter? What’s important is that things went smoothly and you can
finish your work early today.”
“Thank you, Mr. Ex-husband. I can leave work now, all thanks to you.” Amanda grumpily
packed her things and started to leave.
Elias also stood up. “Have dinner with me.”
“I want to go home. I don’t want to eat with you.”
“Then I’ll go home with you and you can cook for me.” Elias shamelessly suggested.
He vaguely remembered Amanda’s wonderful cooking when he had tasted her cooking
four years ago.
Confused, Amanda asked, “Mr. Elias Winters, is this how you date someone? You are
pursuing me now, not the other way around. Why should I cook for you?”
The man proceeded to reply matter-of-factly, “I would love to cook for you, but I don’t
know how.”
