“If you'd said ‘never’ firmly, | might've doubted you,” Jessica teased.

Those years of devotion weren't easy to forget, especially for someone as sentimental as Rebecca.

“A firm refusal would just bereminding myself,” Rebecca explained calmly. “Or maybe... lying to myself.”

Jessica felt relieved. Once things calmed down, she planned to take her career to new heights. If Jeffrey still tried

to interfere by then, Rebecca could easily call the police. After all, they wouldn't be legally married

anymore.

After chatting for a while, they both returned to their tasks.

Jessica was busy sparring with her father while Rebecca spent her free tworking on freelance illustrations.

The weekend passed in this way.

When Jessica was at hevery day, weekends seemed to fly by. But now, they felt too short-gone almost as

soon as they began.

On Monday morning, Jessica arrived early to help with school drop-offs, claiming she wanted to “experience

motherhood” to figure out if she wanted kids later.

Rebecca knew this was Jessica's way of supporting her and responded with a warm hug.

After arriving at the company, Rebecca worked with great enthusiasm, eager to finish the project soon and get

her commission.

But her motivation lasted less than half an hour. At 9:30 AM, Andrea and Jeffrey arrived at the company. Andrea,

dressed formally, approached their workspace with a smile and said, “Mr. Hanson wants everyone to attend a

meeting in the conference room.”

Company meetings were held every Monday at 9:30 AM and Friday at 3:30 PM, but everyone wondered why

Andrea would inform them.

“Who's that?”

“No idea. Mr. Taylor assigned her to Mr. Hanson as his secretary.”

“Who knows? They'll probably introduce her during the meeting.”

Amid murmurs, everyone gathered their notebooks and pens and headed into the conference room. Eyes

naturally drifted toward the empty seat at the head of the table, and a sense of unease filled the air.

Jeffrey walked into the room a moment later, impeccably groomed, his shirt buttoned to the top. He had an aura

of cold elegance, with Andrea following close behind.

Then Jeffrey took the central seat, while Andrea handed out files to everyone,

“Letintroduce Andrea Scott, my executive secretary,” Jeffrey said, his tone cool and detached, commanding

everyone's attention. “From now on, you'll submit all work documents to her before they come

to me.”

“Okay,” the group replied in unison.

No one noticed the subtle ambiguity between Andrea and Jeffrey, and no one knew their relationship.

As the CEO of the Hanson Group, Jeffrey naturally needed a secretary while working undercover at PrimePlay

Technologies. The project team members didn’t think too much about it.

Only Rebecca realized that this was likely Andrea's idea.

The half-hour meeting was efficient. Jeffrey outlined the key points and had each team member present their

work plans for the week.

When the meeting ended, Rebecca left quickly, deliberately avoiding eye contact with either of them.

Andrea, irritated that Rebecca had completely ignored her, tried to hide her frustration and advised Jeffrey,

“Since I'm new here, should | treat everyone to coffee?”

“Your choice,” Jeffrey said indifferently.

“I'll do it then,” Andrea said.

Jeffrey responded, “Hmm.”

Even though Rebecca was working at PrimePlay Technologies, she still had responsibilities at the Hanson Group.

Gregory could handle everything there, but she needed to stay a bit longer.

Around 10:30 AM, Andrea walked into the project department carrying pastries and coffee. She greeted everyone

with a warm smile, instantly coming across as friendly and approachable.

“Thank you, Andrea,” one of the team members said.

“Actually, | should be thanking all of you,” Andrea replied while handing out the treats. “As the new person here,

there’s so much | need to learn from you. Please letknow if | make any mistakes.”

The team’s fondness for her skyrocketed.

By now, those who skipped breakfast were starting to feel hungry, and even the morning eaters were getting

peckish.

“Rebecca, this is for you,” Andrea said as she gently placed the cake and coffee on Rebecca’s desk. “I remember

you don’t like chocolate, so | made sure to pick a chocolate-free cake just for you.”

Her affectionate tone and thoughtful words caught the attention of nearby colleagues.

“Rebecca, you know Andrea?” someone asked.

“You two used to work together,” another whispered, seizing a moment to gossip.

Rebecca stared at Andrea’s smiling face, then coolly muttered with red lips, “I don’t know her.”

Sometimes, Rebecca couldn't help

but be amazed by Andrea's nerve.

The group fell silent, sensing the tension between the two women.

“Alright then,” Andrea said with an indulgent smile, trying to play the role of the gracious peacemaker. “We can

reintroduce ourselves when you're ready.”

Rebecca ignored her, picking up her stylus and starting to draw.

Undeterred, Andrea pushed the coffee and cake closer to Rebecca. “Don’t forget these.”

“Take them away,” Rebecca snapped, visibly disgusted by anything Andrea touched.

“Still as stubborn as ever, huh? I'm

heading out now. Don't forget REAL”

Rebecca grabbed the food from her desk, ready to toss it into the trash. But Jane, sitting next to her, grabbed

her arm.

“Focus on your work,” Jane said in her usual calm tone, her voice low enough only for the two of them to hear.

Rebecca's eyes flashed with confusion, and she was unsure why Jane had stopped her.

Without saying more, Jane held her gaze steadily until Rebecca relented. Rebecca set the item down and picked

up her stylus with renewed focus.

Jane then neatly moved all of Rebecca's distracting items to her own workspace. She said clearly this time,

“Focus on your tasks first.”

Their teammates looked at each other nervously, resuming their snacks only after confirming that Jane wasn’t

watching them.

From across the room, Andrea watched the scene unfold.
