    While it was only a managerial role for one of the farming projects, it was an unprecedented move.


    The secretary hesitated, saying, “Mr. Tyler, would it be inappropriate.


    Olivia hadn’t expected this arrangement and held her breath for a moment.


    Tyler responded tly, “Contact him.” He seemed unconcerned as he made the decision.


    The secretary conducted a background check on Jacob, and it turned out to be quite ordinary. His


    family hailed from a rural area, and while he had impressive grades in school, it didn’t necessarily


    justify being handed a managerial position at the prestigious Harris Group so easily.


    “Mr. Tyler…” The secretary attempted to seek rification again.


    Tyler looked directly at her, silencing her without a word.


    Olivia, stunned by the unexpected turn of events, stood there not knowing how to react. Tyler nced


    at her, feeling no need to provide an exnation. She understood the situation perfectly.


    Ovee with a sudden impulse, Olivia started, “Jacob-”


    He looked at her expectantly. However, she bit her lip and, in the end, refrained from saying what was


    on her mind.


    What she had wanted to say was that Jacob didn’t need the job. Yet, she understood that he did need


    it.


    Tyler knew this too, observing her silence. He then told his secretary, “Let’s take a walk.”


    Naturally, Olivia trailed behind them as they strolled around the farm.


    Along the way, some of the staff recognized Tyler and stopped them, asking, “Are you Mr. Tyler?”


    What position did the Harris family hold in Tide City? They were major phnthropists, ranked as the


    top phnthropists in Tide City’s education sector every year. Their reputation was well–known.


    throughout the city.


    When the Harris family purchased the farm, the residents who lived there were concerned they might


    be forced to leave. However, to their surprise, they weren’t evicted. Instead, they were offered


    employment at the farm.


    It was widely understood that Tyler’s decision had made this possible, earning him the sincere. respect


    of the people at the farm.

    With a warm smile, Tyler confirmed, “Yes, I am.


    One of the vigers eagerly presented him with a basket of cherries. “Mr. Tyler, these cherries were


    grown in our orchard without any pesticides. They’re fresh. Please ept them.”


    Tyler expressed his gratitude and epted the basket of cherries, inspecting the glistening fruit with


    interest.

    Olivia, who was ustomed to seeing him behaving high and mighty, was surprised by his current


    attitude and eptance of the gift.


    The viger was overjoyed and continued to express his gratitude, while Tyler gracefully acknowledged


    each gesture of thanks.


    After the viger departed, he handed the basket of cherries to Olivia. Without waiting for her to


    decline, he suggested, “Let’s continue walking.”


    For a moment, she was lost in thought, clutching the basket of vibrant red cherries, before catching up


    with them.


    Later that night, they cuddled together.


    Tyler rested his face on her shoulder, sensing her lingering unease.


    Olivia had a sense of fear that she couldn’t quite ce, and she didn’t want to remain in his embrace


    any longer. Tyler, attuned to her feelings, released her, and she sat apart, covering herself with her


    clothes.


    He switched on the car’s interior light, casting a dim, warm glow in the darkness. He nced at her, his


    expression tinged with mncholy.
