Sunny felt a sudden wave of affection. “Are you teasing me?”
Although he had been fantasizing a lot after having his first taste of a woman, he still respected Xante’s boundaries
and did not force her if she did not want to do it. Truth be told, they only ever did it once. He later pestered Xante
repeatedly, but Xante never allowed him to go further.
Xante hooked his shirt collar with one finger. “No. Sit still and buckle up. I’m bringing you back to my place.”
Sunny gulped. Like a child who was eager to get his reward, he fastened his seat belt and put on his best behavior.
Xante could not resist smiling when she saw that. An innocent puppy like him was much cuter than those
unpredictable old hounds out there!

someone better for it.
Back at the restaurant, Jeremy leaned against a stairwell wall while smoking a cigarette pensively.
Sophia quickly found him. She opened the door and walked in, saying, “What’s the matter, Jeremy? Are you trying
to relieve your worries alone with just a cigarette for company?”
Jeremy glanced at her and exhaled a puff of smoke. “I’m fine. You can leave.”
Sophia shook her head. “But I didn’t drive!”
“Tommy is outside. He can drive you.”
“No! I want to go with you!”
Jeremy had an insipid expression. “I’m heading back to the company, and I don’t have time to be with you.”
“I can go to the company with you and stay there,” Sophia offered. “The company will be moving to a new office
building in a few days, so I’ll help you clean up. There’s nothing for me to do anyway!”
“A secretary can do all that just fine.” Jeremy massages his temples. “You can’t come and go as you please in the
company.”
Sophia frowned. “Are you tired of me now? Have you forgotten our agreement?”
The man seemed to remember something and felt a little helpless. “Do whatever you want.”
Sophia then smiled happily. “I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me alone!”

Two days later, the Holden Group moved to their new premises. All the major media companies arrived early in an
attempt to get their story out first.

Jeremy would almost certainly attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the relocation. His true appearance had
never been released on the internet, so the reporters were hoping to seize that opportunity to get a shot of
Jeremy’s face. They would then be able to post those photos because they acquired them through legitimate
means. It would most certainly grab the headlines on the front page!
The ceremony soon began, and a professional emcee had been hired to host the ceremony. The emcee came to
the stage and made some opening remarks before introducing each guest. The first few were the Holden Group’s
partners, as well as several other important shareholders. The reporters snapped pictures of them, but they were
not very interested in any of those figures. Their main priority was Jeremy.
Jeremy did not show up for a long time, but the emcee introduced another important guest—Moon, the designer of
the Holden Group’s new building!
