She looked up to see Donald, the young resident, offering it shyly as he asked, “Dr. Nelson, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Would you like to join me in the cafeteria?”

Jennifer was about to decline but something made her change her mind, and she agreed to join him.

Sitting across from each other, Donald placed some ribs from his plate onto Jennifer’s. “Here, eat more. You’re so thin; it’s like food never sticks to you,” he teased.

Jennifer looked up and said, “I have a question for you.”

“Go ahead,” Donald said, holding his breath as he thought, ‘Is she going to ask if I’m

interested in someone?‘

“Your last name is Lynn–are you related to Jonathan Lynn, the CEO of Horizonlead Group?” she inquired.

“Huh?” Donald blinked in confusion, caught off guard by Jennifer’s sudden interest in his family.

Jennifer clarified, “It’s just that a friend of mine has a colleague named Teresa, who mentioned her husband is Jonathan Lynn. Your last name clicked because there aren’t many Lynns in Nareigh. I figured you might be related.”

Donald chuckled, admitting, “Jonathan is indeed my cousin, and Teresa is technically my ex–cousin–in–law since they haven’t remarried yet.”

Jennifer blinked, taken aback. It was baffling how small the world was. The persistent admirer who’d transferred departments just to be near her turned out to be Teresa’s ex-

husband’s cousin.

Curious, Jennifer asked, “Why’d they split? Doesn’t the guy care about his own kid?”

Donald blinked, visibly puzzled. “I don’t know why they got divorced, but I’ve never heard of a kid. Where’d that come from?”

Jennifer froze for a second. “No kid?”

Donald spoke frankly. “None. Who told you that?”

Jennifer quickly responded, “Oh, must’ve been a mistake or something I

misremembered. You know how gossip gets passed around.”

Donald studied her as he dabbed at his lips with a napkin. “I thought you weren’t into gossip. Isn’t work supposed to be your one and only passion?”

There was no mistaking the admiration he held for her enigmatic, distant charm.

Jennifer replied, “You give me too much credit. I’m just an ordinary person.”

As she lowered her gaze, sipping her corn soup, her thoughts churned. ‘Teresa definitely has a child. Could it be that Donald truly has no idea? Did Teresa deliberately

keep the existence of Michael a secret from her ex–husband’s family, even from Jonathan?‘

‘Michael must be Horizonlead Group CEO’s son. I even went out of my way to buy their magazines just to learn about Teresa’s life. He’s the spitting image of Jonathan. I’m almost certain they’re father and son,‘ Jennifer pondered.

“What’s on your mind? I’ve never seen you so distracted,” Donald asked.

Donald’s words brought her back to her senses. She smiled lightly and said, “Just realizing it’s almost New Year’s Day, and, as usual, I’ll be spending it alone.”

“What about your family?” Donald inquired.

“I don’t have one,” Jennifer replied, shrugging. “They don’t really care about me.”

“Then,” he began, gathering his courage and reaching across the table to take her hand. “Let me take you home. Spend New Year’s Day with my family.”
