    Lily clutched the police report and a cautionary notice in her hands.


    “With these, you can start the divorce proceedings. Plus, my cousin works at Capital Solutions, and


    he mentioned that Julian’s sry is in the high five figures. His base pay and bonuses are issued


    separately, and he’s only shown you the base pay, hiding his real ie,” Cam exined.


    Erica added, “Right! And if heys a hand on you again, you need to call the police.”


    Lily nodded vigorously, “Thank you both. I’m lucky to have you.”


    She had always been a hopeless romantic, moving alone to Fairmount to study, only to be sweet–


    talked into dropping out and marrying Julian after getting pregnant from his charming promises. No


    one could persuade her otherwise, and her parents were so furious they cut ties with her.


    She was full of regret. Now, she spent her days gathering evidence of Julian’s hidden financial


    activities.

    Cam organized Connor’s schedule for the day. Her tasks were piling up, particrly with the


    uing shareholder meeting next month, which required a detailed report on thepany’s


    performance for the first half of the year.


    The report needed data integration from various departments, followed by in–depth analysis. She


    ran between departments all day, too busy even to drink water.


    After delivering lunch to Connor, she immediately returned to her desk to continue working with the


    data.


    Half an hourter, Connor, looking through his office’s French windows, saw her still typing


    relentlessly. He frowned slightly and pressed the inte. “Come to my office.”


    When the CEO called, Cam had to pause her work. “Mr. Connor, did you need me?”


    Connor put down the documents he was reviewing, looked up at her for a few seconds, then


    pointed to the lunch box on his desk with amanding tone, “Finish it.”


    Cam blinked, “Huh? Mr. Connor, that’s your lunch.”


    “I’m not hungry. I don’t feel like eating. You have it,” Connor said tly.


    “No way.” Cam refused without a second thought. Part of her job was to ensure he ate properly,


    and now she was to eat his meal instead? That would be a clear dereliction of duty. “Mr. Connor,


    please don’t make this difficult for me. You know my responsibilities. If n finds out, I’m done for.”


    “Who pays your sry?” Connor’s gaze sharpened.


    Cam took a deep breath. “You do.”


    “Are you listening to me or him?” Connor tilted his head.


    Cam gave a resigned smile. “Obviously, you.”


    Connor smiled satisfactorily and gestured for her to proceed.

    Cam sighed, picked up the lunch box, and started to walk out. “Eat here,” Connor nced at the


    coffee table.

    Cam stepped back and chuckled, “Alright.” She carried the lunch box to the sofa. Mr. Connor was


    truly thoughtful. He had considered everything. If n saw her eating Connor’s lunch, it would blow


    her cover.


    Opening the lunch box, she smelled the delicious aroma and her stomach rumbled. Though she


    wasn’t hungry, the sight and smell of the appetizing food triggered an instinctual response.


    The first box containedyers of jumbo shrimp, beef rolls, and vegetables, while the secondyer


    was packed with salmon and sea


    urchin.


    The second box held ayer of fruit and another of creamy mushroom and chicken soup.


    Such avish meal! Mr. Connor was indeed hard to please, to have no appetite in the face of such


    delicacies.


    Today, she’d y the role of Mr. Connor’s/trash can.
