“You have been at the company for so long, you must have heard about the issue with the Snow family. As a new department with a weak foundation and insufficient technical capabilities, it currently relies on funding from headquarters just to operate. Expecting it to turn a profit is a long-term process.”Adriana said, “Technology research and development has always been a long-term investment. Though we may not see results immediately, in the long run we will undoubtedly achieve unexpected surprises.”Calvin paused for a moment, his dark gaze as calm as water. “You understand the concept of long-term investment. Not only do you understand it, but you have mastered it to perfection.”Adriana felt completely exposed under his gaze. Wanting to avoid his eyes but afraid it would seem too deliberate, she simply met his gaze instead. “I don’t understand what you are saying.”She didn’t understand, but she could feel the sarcasm.Calvin extended his arm, wrapped it around her waist, pulled h

Adriana had no mental preparation and had suddenly stumbled into a world completely foreign to her.Thinking about her father’s background, she felt a surge of anxiety and unconsciously clenched her fists.No wonder they chose a remote suburban estate… the identities of these people couldn’t be exposed lightly.Calvin noticed the change in her expression and reached out his arm.“Take my arm.”Still tense, Adriana obediently took his arm, moving closer until she was almost touching him.She heard him say, “These few aren’t even the top-tier figures. Are you really this nervous?”His casual tone made her feel small.“I’ve never seen people like this before.”“You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.”Adriana raised her eyes, looking at his profile bathed in moonlight. For some reason, her heart gave a violent thud.She had always considered herself worldly, yet tonight she felt like Cinderella who had accidentally stepped into a palace. Calvin shielded her confusion with the

Calvin looked at the fruit platter—apples, mangoes, and peeled pomelos—the colors vibrant.“I don’t have the habit of eating fruit in the office, especially while working.”Adriana said, “Are you afraid the department manager will see you? Put it away if someone comes in.”“Even if I put it away, the smell will linger.”“The office is big and the air circulates well. How strong could the smell be? If you’re embarrassed, I’ll put it outside and pretend it’s mine.”She wasn’t sure if she had seen correctly, but Calvin’s lips curved into a beautiful smile, as if he were actually amused. “Alright.”Adriana felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart, as if she had bitten into a ripe peach.Calvin’s phone suddenly rang.She stepped aside politely.The caller ID showed Kevin. Calvin glanced at Adriana, who had walked to the reception area, and instead of entering the private room, he lowered his voice to answer the call. “Speak.”“It’s me.”The distant voice seemed to transcend time and spa

Leon clenched his jaw. His older brother was right: to undermine Calvin’s position at GE, Adriana was an easy target. Calvin would eventually be ruined by this woman.“Alright, since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame me for not warning you. GE isn’t just yours—it’s the result of the Walker family’s efforts over a century, something the entire clan works together to maintain. Besides, the shares you hold aren’t enough to give you absolute control!”Adriana bit her lip. She realized that this time Calvin might truly anger George. What would the old man do then?Would he expel Calvin? Demote him?And wouldn’t she end up being the one to blame?Calvin, however, seemed completely indifferent, as if the position at GE held no appeal for him. “The company’s development isn’t something you need to meddle in yet. Get out.”Leon clenched his teeth and left, slamming the door.The loud bang echoed his anger.Calvin handled the situation and looked at Adriana, who remained motionless. “Scared stiff

Adriana never expected GE’s legal team-building event to be held at such a luxurious location. The company really treats its lawyers well—almost as if they were part of the family.Hearing that, Adriana found herself looking forward to it.Suddenly, she felt a prickling sensation, as if someone were watching her. She turned and nearly jumped out of her skin.“When did you get here?”To make it easier to send messages, she hadn’t yet entered the office. Calvin, however, seemed to be heading toward the break room.A tingling crept across her forehead; her instincts told her something was off.Calvin’s long arm reached over her shoulder to push open the solid wood door.“Not coming in?”“Oh.”As soon as Adriana stepped inside, a strong, muscular arm pressed her back against the doorframe.“What are you—”Before she could finish, his breath brushed against her nose and his warm, moist lips covered hers.His advances were gentle yet relentless, like a spring breeze that intoxicated her.He
