Once in the car, Cassandra powered up herptop and wired 40 million dors. into Timothy’s private
ount.
It was only 3 PM, and Cassandra suddenly found herself with unexpected free time, feeling at a loss for
what to do.
That was her phone buzzed with a new WhatsApp message: [Finished up? Fancy a tour of my ce?]
“A quick visit could be cool,” Cassandra mused, so she directed her driver to detour to Zelinski Group.
Yannick, always the considerate assistant, wanted to ensure the front desk. recognized Cassandra. He
sent her picture to every receptionist, urging them tomit it to memory.
He warned that getting it wrong could ding their pay and affect their careers.
As soon as Cassandra walked into Zelinski Group’s lobby, all the receptionists were
on their toes.
Two receptionists approached her with weing smiles and said, “Ms. Yates, wee. Please follow
me,” both gesturing identically toward the CEO’s elevator.
Cassandra hesitated, then gave a nod and a “Thanks.”
Led by them, Cassandra breezed into the elevator, with one of the receptionists. even hitting the floor
button for her.
Relief washed over the receptionists once the elevator doors sealed shut.
They hoped they’d pulled it off without a glitch. They exchanged a quick grin, pulled out their phones,
hopped onto WhatsApp, and filled in the rest of the staff about Cassandra’s arrival.
[The girl from Yannick’s photo just showed up! She looks way better in person. Yannick didn’t do her
justice with that shot, and I nearly didn’t recognize her.]

[Straight to the top office obviously. Did you think she was gonna chill on each floor? Don’t let Mr.
Zelinski catch you daydreaming, or you’ll be in for it.]
[Samantha is seriously a knockout. Stopped me dead in my tracks.]
[I’m crossing my fingers Mr. Zelinski will make his move soon. The older guy younger girl thing isn’t too
shabby. In this ritzy world, Mr. Zelinski is the only guy who matches up with Samantha.]
[You two are all talk. I just wish she would end up in tech with us.] The chat went quiet after that
message.
When Cassandra exited the elevator, Keh was already there waiting. She was taken aback and
asked, “Why are you here?”
“Waiting for you, of course,” he replied.
The silence that followed was grave. Cassandra didn’t know where to pick up the conversation.

Cassandra settled into the sofa, starting to prepare for the ss she would teach to graduate students.
Then, she took out several small bottles from her backpack and handed them to Keh.
Cassandra said faintly, “I’ve noticed you haven’t been resting welltely; the bags under your eyes are
getting darker,” she said casually. “ce these by your bed, open one each night. Use them up, one
after the other, they should help with your insomnia.”
Keh epted the items, looking surprised. “How did you know I’ve been having trouble sleeping?”
They had never shared a bed-how could she have known?
“You forgot my other role, didn’t you?”
Keh didn’t respond, thinking, ‘How could I? Cassie is also a well-known doctor.

Cassandra, unbothered, settled herself back on the sofa without furtherment.
Keh, watching her, felt a profound sense of peace. Suddenly, he remembered an invitation he had,
pulling it from a drawer.
“Cassie…”
“Ken…”
They called out each other’s names in unison, then shared a knowing smile.
“You were

‘s gaze softened as he stepped closer to Cassandra, whispering, “Cassie, what did you want to tell
me?”
Cassandra hummed in affirmation, smiling, “I have a g to attend tomorrow. Would you apany
me?”
Keh’s eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn’t expected Cassie would want to bring him to a g,
feeling a little overwhelmed by the honor.
Keh thought to himself, ‘Good thing I put away that invitation of mine. Isn’t that the exact time of
Cassie’s event? If I’m not mistaken, my g is also tomorrow. But then again, which event could be
more important than one with my Cassie?’
“Sure, I’ll go with you,” Keh agreed readily.
“Great,” Cassandra nodded, then asked curiously, “What were you about to tell me?”
“It’s nothing,” Keh shook his head before inquiring, “Cassie, what g are we attending
tomorrow?”
“The grand opening g for Modern Beacon Synergy’s new headquarters,” Cassandra replied without
looking away from herptop.
Keh paused, wondering if he had misheard.
“Cassic, did you just say we’re attending Modern Beacon Synergy’s opening g?” he couldn’t help
asking.
“Yes. Is there a problem?” Cassandra finally stopped typing, lifting her eyes to meet

Keh’s.
Keh got up, returned to where the invitation was, and brought it back to Cassandra. “Because the
thing I was about to ask you,” he dered, “was if you’d join me at that very g.”
Could this be a case of their thoughts aligning perfectly?

The next day saw Modern Beacon Synergy’s relocating g held splendidly in thepany’s
headquarters’ main hall. The spacious lobby seamlessly opened up to the second floor’s reception and
negotiation areas, offering guests a convenient spot for rxation.
Timothy and Cyrus, the president and vice-president of Modern Beacon Synergy, were already
mingling with guests, busy weing everyone in the crowd.
The Houston family’s Richard was also in attendance, apanied by his son. Dave, Dave’s wife
Helen, and their daughter Emma.
Emma’s smile never waned as she relished the sight of so many distinguished young individuals. She
believed that only elites like her truly belonged at such an
event.
Invited as well were Sofia and Cassidy.
Although these attendees were acquainted, their interactions were minimal, with each hardly
acknowledging the other.
Cassandra and Keh arrived fashionablyte. Cassandra, in a white evening gown, highlighted her
perfect figure.
Keh had grumbled the entire way about Cassandra’s choice of dressing, and even as they arrived,
he had failed to convince her to change.
Though the gown could be deemed conservative in style, it highlighted Cassandra’s physical assets to
a degree that displeased Keh.
However, Cassandra seemed oblivious to Keh’s hints. As they exited the car, like magic, she
produced a shawl from seemingly nowhere and wrapped it around her upper body, which alleviated
some of Keh’s upset.
