Chapter 306 She Was Full Of Surprises


    Corrine followed Nate into his office.


    He grabbed an iPad and


    brewed a cup of coffee, and then handed it to her. "Take it easy here for a while. I won''t be long."


    "Alright," Corrine murmured.


    Nate reached out, his fingers lightly tousling her hair before he strode over to his


    desk to get to work.


    Corrine took a small sip of the coffee in front of her. Then, she pulled out her phone and skimmed through her unread messages.


    She opened WhatsApp and scrolled to the friend requests.


    Her eyesnded on an avatar of a peony, apanied by a note. "Corrine, this is Evelyn."


    Corrine hesitated for a split second before tapping "ept".


    Almost immediately, a message popped up.. "Hello, Corrine. I''m Evelyn."


    Corrine typed back. "Hi there, Mrs. Hopkins."


    Evelyn quickly followed up. "Now that we''re connected on WhatsApp, it''ll be much easier for me to reach you."


    As Corrine responded, a small group of employees in gray uniforms stepped into the office, their gazes


    instinctively locking onto her.


    The office—and, by now, much of thepany-was abuzz with rumors.


    Nate had brought his girlfriend to ck Rock Group.


    And they had to admit, she was captivating.


    Not in the delicate, conventional way, but with a bold, striking allure


    that turned heads without effort. Even in silence, her presence wasmanding-


    intense and unyielding, making it impossible for anyone to admire her beauty without a sense of restraint.


    The group stole quick nces at her before snapping back to focus and stepping forward to deliver their


    reports.


    "Mr. Hopkins, here are the detailed ounts for this quarter and the updated inventory list."


    Nate gave a slight nod, flipping open the folder in front of


    him, though his peripheral vision remained on Corrine.


    She was typing quickly on her phone, her slender fingers moving with precision, likely responding to someone important.


    Just as Corrine finished her conversation with Evelyn, her screen lit up with an iing call.


    The moment she saw the caller


    faint chilf flickered in her eyes.


    Without a second thought a


    declined


    she


    e call and immediately


    blocked the number.


    She cast a quick nce at Nate, who was still upied, and then wandered over to the office''s disy wall.


    A particr item caught her eye-


    a traditional crossbow showcased behind ss. Interest sparked in her gaze.


    Corrine utched the cab, retrieved the crossbow, and effortlessly assembled its disassembled parts.


    Her movements were smooth and practiced, each motion instinctive, as if embedded in her muscle memory from years of repetition.


    The men in the room, still deep in


    discussion, faltered mid-sentence, their attention drawn to the scene unfolding before them. Their_ expressions shifted to


    astonishment.


    Without question, the woman Nate had chosen was far from ordinary.


    Nate observed her, his gaze deepening


    with intrigue, a quiet, knowing smile curving his lips.


    Corrine was full of surprises.


    Just then, Moses walked into the office with a folder-


    only to find himself staring down the barrel of the crossbow in Corrine''s hands.


    "Shit!" he blurted, instinctively


    reaching for his lower back, only to


    realize he was unarmed. With no


    other choice, he threw his hands up in surrender.


    Corrine arched a brow and lowered the weapon. "My bad," she said coolly.


    She had only been testing the scope, not expecting anyone to walk in at that exact moment.
