Chapter 213
Seeing how easy it was to fluster him, the host couldn’t help but tease, “So, is there someone you have feelings
for? And, just pretending to ask for all your fangirls out there—what kind of woman would you want as your
wife?”
| thought that was kind of out of line. This was a finance show, not a dating show. Poor Nathan, that must've
been awkward for him.
But Nathan just answered honestly, “I like someone quiet and a bit on the mature side.”
The host continued, “Oh, con, tell us more. I'm sure all your fans are dying to know what kind of woman
catches your eye.”
Nathan glanced at the camera, and then lowered his gaze with a gentle smile. “It's hard to put into words, but as
long as she’s standing there, it could only ever be her.”

The host's face lit up with understanding. She grinned and said, “Well, looks like Mr. Hallman has someone
special in mind. Here's to hoping your dreams ctrue soon!”
My heart skipped a beat. Could he be talking about me? The show ended, but my mind was still racing.
Years ago, | did something kind without thinking much of it, never realizing it would help Nathan beca rising
star in tech. That was definitely a good thing.
But, without meaning to, I'd ended up stirring up his feelings. Was that really a good thing as well?
| switched off the TV, and my heart finally calmed down. Once | knew | wasn’t ever getting married again,
Nathan just wasn’t someone | could consider
anymore.
He'd worked so hard to get to where he was. How could | just toss his feelings aside like they meant nothing? If |
ever wanted to mess with someone, it should be Jared-I'd drive him crazy.
The next morning, | headed to the office for a meeting. The hotel project had been getting tons of buzz lately,
and with all my relentless promotion and packaging, we were seeing a massive surge in traffic.
Jared sat in the meeting, looking as calm as ever, showing no sign that last night had rattled him at all.
When the latest numbers cin, Jared glanced up and shotthis deep, unreadable look.
| knew we were entering the era where traffic was king, and riding this wave for all it was worth was a huge win
for the hotel. Jared just asked one thing, “Who cup with these plans?”
The person giving the report pointed right at me. “All these ideas cfrom Ms. Murphy.”
Jared shota more complicated glance, like he couldn't quite wrap his head around the fact that | was the one
behind all these fresh ideas.
Amy always had that smiley, super-confident vibe, but when she realized my plans had made the hotel blow up
overnight, her gaze got a whole lot sharper.
I'd got a few informants planted around the company, and as for that detective | hired before, he was not
working foranymore, and | never even settled up with him.
He dug up the news about Tracy being pregnant and claimed they'd risked their lives for it.
Honestly, | was speechless. Still, for the sake of future collaboration, I let it go. They must've felt a bit guilty
about taking so much casi to send someone else to keep an eye on Jared for me.
ey promised
My company spies would sometimes updateon who Jared was hanging out with, especially if it was a
woman. But every time, it was strictly business
no funny business at all.
Chapter 213
Well, except for this one girl from sales who'd been going out of her way to get close to him lately.
1 knew that girl was Quinn's best friend, and she’d been using that connection to get close to Jared, even
catching a ride with him a few davek.
But from what | knew about Jared, just being pretty wasn’t enough to get his attention, and he’d never take a
risk for a gitt like that.
Unless she was someone like Tracy-someone who could actually help him in his career and really connected with
him on a deeper level.
Amy was married, but the way she looked at Jared was definitely not innocent.
After the meeting, Jared cstraight over to my office. | was packing up, getting ready to head to the
temporary office by the hotel, when he cut right to the chase, “Who's the woman Nathan was talking about?”
