    “I’ll head back now,” she added.


    With that, Eliza tucked her phone into her pocket and turned to head upstairs.


    Nn watched her leave, then looked up toward Halbert standing at the window above.


    From his position, Nn could clearly see Halbert staring down at them through the floor–to–ceiling ss.


    Nn’s expression darkened. Now he understood why Eliza had insisted on meeting him outside.


    Momentster, Nn got into his car and drove off.


    Back at the apartment, Halbert was already seated in the living room.


    “Why are you ring at me like that?” Eliza frowned. “He was just giving me a ride home.”


    “Just a ride?”


    Halbert replied coldly, “Henry is your fiancé. I told you to keep your distance from Nn–or I’ll <i>take </i>action against the Hayes family. And you already agreed.”


    Given the Sue family’s influence overseas, eliminating someone like Nn wouldn’t be difficult <i>at </i>all.


    “I agreed not to get close to him,” Eliza said. “But I never said we couldn’t be friends. He helped me, and I was simply being polite. Or would you rather people say the Sue family’s youngdycks manners?”


    Halbert opened his mouth to argue, but Eliza cut him off with a wave of her hand. “I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. Good night.”


    Halbert looked at her carefree attitude and shook his head.


    If she regretted thingster, no one would be there to clean up her mess.


    The next afternoon, Eliza got ready and headed to Nn’spany.


    As soon as the security guards at the Hayes Corp entrance saw her, they alerted the reception. Momentster, the floor manager came out, followed by a small entourage of staff.


    “Ms. Eliza, correct?” he said respectfully. “Mr. Hayes informed usst night that you’d be visiting today. Please, this way.”


    The manager led Eliza inside with enthusiasm.


    As she followed him, the receptionists behind the desk whispered among themselves.


    “Who is she? Never seen her before. Must be someone important for the manager to greet her personally.”


    Even when important clients visited, Mr. Hayes had never sent the manager down in person.

    “Look! Mr. Hayes ising down!”


    Someone pointed to the executive elevator.


    Everyone turned just in time to see Nn stepping out.


    They couldn’t believe it–Mr. Hayes himself wasing to meet this woman?


    “She’s not just anyone. That’s the nobledy the Sue family recently brought back.”


    “The Sue family? You mean that Sue family–the wealthiest in the country?”


    The group exchanged astonished nces.


    They hadn’t expected Mr. Hayes to be associated with the heiress of the top family.


    “But doesn’t Mr. Hayes already have a fiancée?”


    The words had barely left the employee’s mouth when they felt a cold gaze sweep across them.


    Turning, they realized it was Nn who had heard them.”


    The staffer immediately broke into a cold sweat.

    “You really came all the way down?” Eliza asked, noting the stares she’d been getting since she entered the building.


    Nn’s expression softened. “I didn’t want you to feel unwee, so I made sure they were ready. And I didn’t want you to feel awkward, so I came down myself.”


    With Nn present, no one dared say another word.


    Eliza added, “Let’s talk in your office. There are too many people out here.”


    “Of course.”


    Nn agreed readily and instructed the staff not to follow them upstairs.


    This was Eliza’s first time visiting Nn’spany.


    Nn acted more like her assistant, walking just behind her and pointing out the way to his office.


    He even opened the door for her personally.


    The assistants nearby were stunned.


    Their Mr. Hayes had always been particr about his office–he hated people going in without per <ol><li>on. </li></ol>


    Even ine hadn’t been allowed inside when she came to visit.


    And now he’d opened the door himself for Ms. Eliza.


    Clearly, she meant something very different to him.

    Eliza scanned the office. Apart from the paperwork on the desk, the ce was spotless.


    Nn did have mild OCD, but this level of cleanliness was extreme.


    “Let me guess,” she said. “You had them deep–clean the ce just because I wasing?”


    Nn nodded without hesitation.

    He’d had the staff scrub the room thoroughly. Even carlier, during his meeting, he’d been careful not to dirty anything.
