TimeNovelReese carefully contemplated in her heart, her emotions a mix of sweetness and worry.
This kind of mindset, where everything was meticulously analyzed and concerns about gains and losses were
dominant, felt like searching for evidence of the other person's affection in every aspect of life.
This mood was very much akin to the initial stages of a budding romance, both sour and sweet.
Seeing Reese's silence, Lukas couldn't help but furrow his brow and called out, "Reese!"
She abruptly looked up at him, then quickly averted her gaze in panic, lowering her head.
She wondered if he had seen through her little thoughts, and at the idea, she couldn't help but feel a bit restless.
Taking a deep breath, she finally asked, "What's wrong?"
Lukas furrowed his brow and shook his head. "It's nothing. | just wanted to tell you that if someone troubles you
in the company in the future, you can ctodirectly, don't worry about anything else!"
Reese nodded slowly and replied in a soft voice, "I understand."

The sour feeling in her heart resurfaced.
Was he telling her that he would always protect her in the company from now on? Such thoughts, in their early
stages, are difficult to shake off.
Did he do this only because she was his wife in name, or was it due to something else?
It took Reese a while to suppress those unrealistic thoughts in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Love is such a thing that makes people worry about gains and losses, full of contradictions, causing those caught
in its web to lose themselves in the process.
When they reached the company, Reese hurriedly got out of the car and walked away.
Lukas helplessly pinched the center of his brows and watched her departure with a nostalgic and gentle
expression.
Reese was like a cloud in the sky, sometimes distant and sometimes near.
Her attitude towards him was even more unpredictable, making him feel helpless yet also hopeful, unable to
stop himself.
This flavor is both wonderful and bitter. He doesn't know if others experience the ssymptoms as him.
Upon arriving at the design department, Reese found that Mariel had arrived earlier than her.
Reese was a bit speechless: "Why did you cso early? Someone who didn't know better would think you're an
employee at this company!"
Seeing her, Mariel excitedly grabbed her arm. "I have something nice to tell you!" Reese glanced at her: "Has
your engagement with that person been canceled?"
Mariel blinked, broke into a wide grin, and laughed heartily: "You really have a knack for predicting things!"
She had been so thrilled last night that she couldn't fall asleep, eagerly awaiting the chance to share her joy with
Reese!
Reese gave her a look, wondering if predicting this required any special skill. Wasn't it as clear as day?

She stood up and went to the pantry to pour herself swater.
Mariel followed her like a little sidekick, excitedly trailing behind her: "Speaking of which, | managed to
successfully cancel the engagement, all thanks to you. If it weren't for you last night..."
Reese immediately turned to look at her: "Enough, don't mention what happened last night!"
Mariel seemed a bit puzzled: "What happened last night? Wasn't it just that you helpedgather evidence?
Was there something else you can't talk about?"
Reese's expression beca bit awkward. Whenever she thought of last night, she almost instinctively recalled
the ambiguous atmosphere in the closet and the intense warmth.
Her face turned slightly red, and Mariel grew a bit concerned: "Reese, are you alright? Your face is so red. Are
you not feeling well today?"
As she spoke, she reached out to touch Reese's forehead.
Reese quickly dodged, her tone flustered: "It's nothing. You don't need to check, I just feel a little hot!"
