She Outshines 331
Brandon was utterly exhausted. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
He had intended to sleep until dawn before getting back to work. However, it was already noon the
next day when he finally awoke.
His eyes shot open, and he immediately shouted, “Is the problem solved? Is there a problem with
the product?”
Lindsay, who had been keeping watch by his side, handed him a ss of water. “Don’t worry. The
programming errors have been fixed. We’ve reviewed the surveince footage and thoroughly
tested the raw materials. Everything is fine.”
“That’s good.” Brandon took the water and drank it in one go. “What about those two? How are they
now?”
“We discussed it,” Lindsay replied. “Since we caught the problem early, the financial loss they
caused is minimal. Even if we called the police, they wouldn’t face harsh punishment.”
“We’ve recorded their confessions and gathered evidence. We n to use it to warn the people
behind them. If they try anything again, we’ll release the evidence and ruin their reputation.”
Thepany that sent the undercover agent was a giant in the industry, far beyond the current
Donovan High–tech’s reach. Even if thepany sued the two spies, thepetitor could deny it.
Instead of confronting them now, it was wiser to hold their weakness and buy time to grow
stronger.
Brandon gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowing in determination. “But I’m unwilling…”
Lindsay gave a knowing smile. “Revenge is best served cold. There’s no rush. When we’re strong
enough, we can take them down. Don’t you think?”
She picked up a bowl of oatmeal. “Now, eat something. We still have plenty of work ahead.”
Only then did Brandon say with resentment, “I’ll remember this debt and settle itter.”
After eating, he finally regained enough strength to get up. He personally checked the revised data
and supervised the production line.
He worked tirelessly until nightfall. When he saw that the assembled parts had no issues, he
breathed a long sigh of relief. “Everyone, you’ve worked hard. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Full of concern, Lindsay said, “You’ve gone three days without a shower. Why don’t you go take one
first? I’ve already prepared a change of clothes for you.”
Brandon looked at her gratefully, his eyes filled with warmth. “Thank you, Lindsay.”
Lindsay smiled softly. “Do we need to be so polite with each other?”
Brandon gently squeezed her hand, picked up the bag with the clothes, and walked into the
changing room.
After taking a shower, he went straight to the factory entrance, climbed into his second–hand Audi,
which he had bought for six thousand five hundred dors, and said to everyone, “Let’s go to
Donovan’s Restaurant.”
When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw many people queuing up outside with numbered
tickets. However, Brandon led them straight inside without needing a number or waiting in line.
As soon as they entered the private room, delicious food was immediately served, causing everyone
to exim, “We’re so lucky to have great food as soon as we arrive.”
“I can never get a seat when Ie here, but whenever I follow Brandon, there’s always a table
waiting. Brandon, you’re
Mon,
truly our lucky star.”

Kiss
Brandon smiled and said, “You’ve all worked hard, so eat up. It’s on me.”
Lindsay looked at him and opened her mouth as if to say something, but she held back seeing him
eating so happily.
The food was delicious, but Lindsay ate somewhat absentmindedly, her gaze wandering toward the
floor below.
Then, her attention sharpened, and she focused on the kitchen downstairs.
The kitchen was surrounded by ss on three sides, allowing customers to see what was
happening inside.
Lindsay saw a girl carrying a te into the kitchen, casually picking up some already–prepared
ingredients and cing them on the te.
Once the te was full, the girl came out and sat at a corner of the long dining table. She removed
her mask and began eating with relish.
Lindsay was stunned. ‘Athena?‘

‘It’s not unusual for Athena to eat here, but why was she allowed to enter the kitchen freely and take
whatever she wanted?‘ After thinking momentarily, Lindsay turned to Brandon and said, “I’ll be right
back. I’m going to the washroom.”
She left the private room, went downstairs, and approached Athena, lightly tapping the table. “Miss
Donovan, excuse me for interrupting.”
Athena was eating while ncing at her phone. When she heard Lindsay’s voice, she looked up and
smiled, “Hello, Ms. Dudley.”
Lindsay said, “I came here to eat as well and happened to see you in the kitchen picking out food,
so I got a little curious.” She paused for a moment, then asked, “Is the kitchen here open for guests
to enter and choose their food as they please?”
Athena replied, “Of course, guests are not allowed to enter.” She looked puzzled by Lindsay’s
question. “But the restaurant is owned by my family. I can enter the kitchen of my family’s restaurant
and choose what I like to eat. Of course, that’s not a problem.”
Lindsay’s eyes widened in shock. “Y–you’re saying that Donovan’s Restaurant is owned by your
family? Did I misunderstand?”
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
“No misunderstanding,” Athena said. “Many of the guests here know me.”
Lindsay frowned and asked, “In other words, Brandon is also one of the owners of Donovan’s
Restaurant?”
“Yes,” Athena replied, looking puzzled. “Didn’t Brandon tell you?
