| was speechless.
Thankfully, Soren hadn't actually done that. If he had, | wouldn't have been able to face Jamie when | returned to
the office-unless, of course, | found myself a new managi
At that thought, | muttered regretfully, “I shouldn't have td you that if I'd known how you'd react. It's not like
there's a big chance I'll run into your friend again, and you wouldn’t have known about it anyway...”
“Excuse me? Were you saying something?
“| said | finally found one of your flaws... You're petty and alous!” | turned to face Soren, enunciating each word
deliberately just to provoke him.
Instead of getting angry, he simply smiled and said, “I'm sure | have plenty more flaws. You'll discover them
sooner or later.”
“Why not just tellnow so | can avoid them?”
“Nope, not a chance.”
Our childish banter continued until even we couldn't take ourselves seriously anymore.

“Alright, enough of that. Tto take you home.” Soren changed the subject effortlessly, planning my schedule
for the next day. “We'll check out the car tomorrow morning, and I'll drive you back to your office afterward.”
| decided not to backtrack since we’d already agreed on it over the phone.
On the way, Soren remindedthat it would be Saturday the day after tomorrow.
| was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening. We were supposed to visit the Kenway
residence to meet William Kenway.
“Yes, | remember. How's his recovery going? Are you sure won't interrupt him by visiting?” | asked.
In truth, | was still reluctant to go and was trying to fish for an excuse.
“He’s much better, and I'm sure you won't be interrupting him. He enjoys being around young people and is
always eager to learn new things.”
1 nodded, understanding what he meant. “So, what you're saying is that he doesn’t want to live like an old
man.”
“Exactly.”
The more | thought about it, the more uneasy | felt. But at this point, | couldn't find a valid excuse to refuse.
Soren droppedoff downstairs, but | didn’t let him cup.
It was already past 10:00 p.m., which was late, especially since he needed another hour to return to the Kenway
residence.
Just as | stepped out of the car, he pulledback in, leaned over, and kissedbefore saying goodnight with a
smile.
| shot him a playful glare as | shut the door and jogged toward my entrance.
Once inside the elevator, | was alone in the silence.
That's when the troubles in my life began to flood my mind like persistent flies.

My anger bolled when | thought about my “dear fatlier.”
If | weren't Soren’s girlfriend, | would've fought them to the bitter end without a second thought-dragging them
down with me, consequences be damned.
But the facts were what they were, and | couldn't afford tot recklessly now.
| was afraid that the public would magnify my problems, tuning into yet another scandal that could also affect

1 racked my brain, trying to figure out how to deal with those parasites.
With a soft chime, the elevator arrived, and the doors slid appen.
As | stepped out and glanced down the hallway, my already rritated mind took another blow when | saw who was
waiting for me.
| glared at Edward, who sat in his wheelchair. “What are you doing here? You know you're not welcome.”
His attitude matched mine. With a mocking tone, he said, “Don’t you think it’s only natural forto visit my ex
after everything we’ve been through?”
Golly! The nerve of him! How could he say something so shameless?!
But then, something suddenly clicked in my mind as | looked at him.
“The villa hasn't been transferred yet. Letknow when you're free so we can finalize it.”
| had meant to bring it up when Edith’s case went to trial, but he hadn’t shown up to support his sister in court.
At the time, | assumed his health had worsened, making it impossible for him to be there.
But now, seeing him show up at my doorstep, it seemed he wasn’t as frail as I'd thought.
