    Daisy’s expression stiffened, but she said nothing.


    Still, seeing how respectful Ben was acting toward Ste, she could not resist letting her gaze linger on


    Ste before turning to leave the office.


    Even after she closed the door, she was left staring at the office for a long while.

    Who on earth was that woman?


    To think that Weston would have a woman other than Guinevere, too…


    Aside from Daisy, the other secretaries were interested in Ste as well, and they mobbed Daisy the


    instant she stepped out. “Do you know who that woman in Mr. Ford’s office is, Daisy?”


    Daisy shook her head, but her expression suddenly turned solemn. “Are you girls done with your


    work?.Do you think Mr. Ford would appreciate your reaction when he returns?” Being the head of the


    secretary department, Daisy spoke on Weston’s behalf most of the time.


    Seeing that she was being dead serious, the other secretaries traded nces, but they returned to their


    desks, leaving Daisy alone as she nced thoughtfully at Weston’s office again. A man who never


    allowed any women to linger around him, suddenly bringing one to his office… What could that mean?


    Daisy’s expression turned a little troubled, but she returned to her work anyway.

    Ben stepped out of Weston’s office soon after, and when he passed the secretaries’ offices, he asked


    Daisy, “May I have a word with you?”


    Daisy rose to her feet, just as the other secretaries turned toward them in response. Though they had


    no idea about the specifics, they were all naturally wondering if it was because of what had happened


    just now.


    Everyone knew that Ben is one of Weston’s most trusted aides, and anyone whom he would personally


    serve was no pushover, let alone some skank.


    “… I guess the woman in Mr. Ford’s office must be someone important, since she’s able to order Ben


    Sullivan around,” one of them suggested. “… Is he in there serving that woman coffee or something?”


    “You girls are letting your imagination run wild. Mr. Ford brought her to his own office, so it’s not


    something we should be concerned about…”


    “True. Let’s not get ourselves into trouble.”


    ***


    Meanwhile, Daisy and Ben stepped out to the balcony.


    “What’s the matter, Mr. Sullivan?” Daisy asked.


    Watching her, Ben said, “I’m sure you’re smart enough to know what I’m going to say.”


    Daisy appeared taken aback that Ben would say something like that. “You mean…”


    “Mr. Ford doesn’t want anyone else to know that the woman in his office has been there. If anyone


    asks, she was never here–do you understand?”


    In other words, Daisy was supposed to hide the woman’s existence, and her eyes flickered in


    understanding. “Even Miss Cohen…?”


    Ben frowned, and his eyes were suddenly sharp. “Anyone.” Daisy immediately came to a realization,


    and put on a solemn expression. “Alright, understood


    –no one will know that she exists.”

    After arriving at the hospital, Guinevere stayed with Zack as the doctor checked him. Fortunately, the


    boy was alright. Breathing a sigh of relief, she texted Weston—she did not call since he was in a


    meeting. His reply soon came, but it was just a single word. [Okay.) Guinevere stared at her phone for


    a long time, suddenly feeling as if she was possessed.
