After she said those words, something felt off. Why did it sound like she was being flirty? The room went silent, and the only thing you could hear was their breathing. ra felt the auraing from Dn seep into every part of her being. She didn''t know him well, but his maic pull on girls was undeniable.


    Quickly, she got up from the small stool. "Mr. Dn, I should head back now." She was in such a rush that just as she was about to open the door, he called after her.


    "I''ll have Aiden drive you home."


    "Thank you."


    Once she was in the car, she regretted it. Aiden wasn''t exactly warm towards her, and the way he looked at her was hard to ignore. Sitting in the back, she could practically feel the disdain in his eyes.


    When they arrived at her ce, she couldn''t hold back any longer. "Aiden, do you not like me?"


    Aiden kept his hands on the wheel, his tone cool. "I''m not sure what you''re up to, Ms. ra, but whatever it is, y it safe. The boss might let you slide once, but his temper isn''t as forgiving as you might think."


    If she pushed him too far, there''d be no saving her.


    ra was a bit taken aback. Was Dn''s assistant saying he had a bad temper? To her, Dn wasn''t as icy as people made him out to be.


    As she opened the car door to leave, Aiden''s voice came again. "Ms. ra, I''m serious. Once some people lose it, there''s no stopping them."


    ra thought he was just trying to warn her off Dn, so she smiled. "I''ll remember that."


    Aiden noticed her dismissive attitude and knew she wasn''t taking him seriously. She''d learn soon enough. When he got back to the vi, Dn was already in the study.


    The study was rich with an air of understated luxury. Dn sat in a chair, a book in hand. Noticing Aiden''s entrance, he asked, "Did she get home alright?"


    "Yes."


    Dn turned another page, leaning his head on one hand, saying nothing more. Aiden stood there for a moment before asking, "Should we handle Jade?"


    Dn''s eyshes fluttered slightly, but his demeanor remained calm. "No."


    Aiden had been with him for years, yet he still didn''t fully understand Dn. When ra caused his injury, he disappeared abroad without a word. Dn rarely interfered in her life. Mostly, he seemed like an observer and only showed emotion when ra was near.


    Meanwhile, Jade called the executive who had nned to sleep with ra. She wanted to ask how the hotel incident went, assuming ra was already in shambles. The call went unanswered, and a flicker of excitement crossed her face.


    The man liked to torment girls for days. If he was not picking up, it must''ve meant ra''s looks had ensnared him, prolonging the ordeal. Jade''s smile grew, and her good mood was uncontainable. ra not showing up to work today was evidence enough that she''d been ruined.


    Jade wasted no time going to Simon''s office, her tone tentative. "Mr. Simon, I''m not sure if I should mention this, butst night, a friend saw ra heading to a hotel with a business associate."


    Simon was always looking for a chance to get closer to ra. He perked up at this. "Are you sure? Who was she with?"


    "It was Casey. He was a part of thest Ferguson Corporation project."


    Simon nearly broke his pen. Casey was infamous for drugging girls and ckmailing them withpromising photos. If they refused toply, he''d use those photos to destroy their reputations. The industry had no sympathy; Casey was rich enough to silence girls with money. If they reported him, he''d drive the girls to despair.


    Taking a deep breath, Simon''s expression darkened. Jade kept fueling the fire, "Everyone knows what Casey''s like. ra was foolish to get involved with him. She''s still your fiancée, and if people find out..."


    If word got out that his fiancée was tainted, his reputation would suffer as well.
