Once in the car, Cassandra powered up her laptop and wired 40 million dollars. into Timothy’s private account.
It was only 3 PM, and Cassandra suddenly found herself with unexpected free time, feeling at a loss for what to do.
That was her phone buzzed with a new WhatsApp message: [Finished up? Fancy a tour of my place?]
“A quick visit could be cool,” Cassandra mused, so she directed her driver to detour to Zelinski Group.
Yannick, always the considerate assistant, wanted to ensure the front desk. recognized Cassandra. He sent her picture to every receptionist, urging them to commit it to memory.
He warned that getting it wrong could ding their pay and affect their careers.
As soon as Cassandra walked into Zelinski Group’s lobby, all the receptionists were
on their toes.
Two receptionists approached her with welcoming smiles and said, “Ms. Yates, welcome. Please follow me,” both gesturing identically toward the CEO’s elevator.
Cassandra hesitated, then gave a nod and a “Thanks.”
Led by them, Cassandra breezed into the elevator, with one of the receptionists. even hitting the floor button for her.
Relief washed over the receptionists once the elevator doors sealed shut.
They hoped they’d pulled it off without a glitch. They exchanged a quick grin, pulled out their phones, hopped onto WhatsApp, and filled in the rest of the staff about Cassandra’s arrival.
[The girl from Yannick’s photo just showed up! She looks way better in person. Yannick didn’t do her justice with that shot, and I nearly didn’t recognize her.]

[Straight to the top office obviously. Did you think she was gonna chill on each floor? Don’t let Mr. Zelinski catch you daydreaming, or you’ll be in for it.]
[Samantha is seriously a knockout. Stopped me dead in my tracks.]
[I’m crossing my fingers Mr. Zelinski will make his move soon. The older guy younger girl thing isn’t too shabby. In this ritzy world, Mr. Zelinski is the only guy who matches up with Samantha.]
[You two are all talk. I just wish she would end up in tech with us.] The chat went quiet after that message.
When Cassandra exited the elevator, Kenneth was already there waiting. She was taken aback and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Waiting for you, of course,” he replied.
The silence that followed was grave. Cassandra didn’t know where to pick up the conversation.

Cassandra settled into the sofa, starting to prepare for the class she would teach to graduate students. Then, she took out several small bottles from her backpack and handed them to Kenneth.
Cassandra said faintly, “I’ve noticed you haven’t been resting well lately; the bags under your eyes are getting darker,” she said casually. “Place these by your bed, open one each night. Use them up, one after the other, they should help with your insomnia.”
Kenneth accepted the items, looking surprised. “How did you know I’ve been having trouble sleeping?”
They had never shared a bed-how could she have known?
“You forgot my other role, didn’t you?”
Kenneth didn’t respond, thinking, ‘How could I? Cassie is also a well-known doctor.

Cassandra, unbothered, settled herself back on the sofa without further comment.
Kenneth, watching her, felt a profound sense of peace. Suddenly, he remembered an invitation he had, pulling it from a drawer.
“Cassie…”
“Ken…”
They called out each other’s names in unison, then shared a knowing smile.

‘s gaze softened as he stepped closer to Cassandra, whispering, “Cassie, what did you want to tell me?”
Cassandra hummed in affirmation, smiling, “I have a gala to attend tomorrow. Would you accompany me?”
Kenneth’s eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn’t expected Cassie would want to bring him to a gala, feeling a little overwhelmed by the honor.
Kenneth thought to himself, ‘Good thing I put away that invitation of mine. Isn’t that the exact time of Cassie’s event? If I’m not mistaken, my gala is also tomorrow. But then again, which event could be more important than one with my Cassie?’
“Sure, I’ll go with you,” Kenneth agreed readily.
“Great,” Cassandra nodded, then asked curiously, “What were you about to tell me?”
“It’s nothing,” Kenneth shook his head before inquiring, “Cassie, what gala are we attending tomorrow?”
“The grand opening gala for Modern Beacon Synergy’s new headquarters,” Cassandra replied without looking away from her laptop.
Kenneth paused, wondering if he had misheard.
“Cassic, did you just say we’re attending Modern Beacon Synergy’s opening gala?” he couldn’t help asking.
“Yes. Is there a problem?” Cassandra finally stopped typing, lifting her eyes to meet

Kenneth’s.
Kenneth got up, returned to where the invitation was, and brought it back to Cassandra. “Because the thing I was about to ask you,” he declared, “was if you’d join me at that very gala.”
Could this be a case of their thoughts aligning perfectly?

The next day saw Modern Beacon Synergy’s relocating gala held splendidly in the company’s headquarters’ main hall. The spacious lobby seamlessly opened up to the second floor’s reception and negotiation areas, offering guests a convenient spot for relaxation.
Timothy and Cyrus, the president and vice-president of Modern Beacon Synergy, were already mingling with guests, busy welcoming everyone in the crowd.
The Houston family’s Richard was also in attendance, accompanied by his son. Dave, Dave’s wife Helen, and their daughter Emma.
Emma’s smile never waned as she relished the sight of so many distinguished young individuals. She believed that only elites like her truly belonged at such an
event.
Invited as well were Sofia and Cassidy.
Although these attendees were acquainted, their interactions were minimal, with each hardly acknowledging the other.
Cassandra and Kenneth arrived fashionably late. Cassandra, in a white evening gown, highlighted her perfect figure.
Kenneth had grumbled the entire way about Cassandra’s choice of dressing, and even as they arrived, he had failed to convince her to change.
Though the gown could be deemed conservative in style, it highlighted Cassandra’s physical assets to a degree that displeased Kenneth.
However, Cassandra seemed oblivious to Kenneth’s hints. As they exited the car, like magic, she produced a shawl from seemingly nowhere and wrapped it around her upper body, which alleviated some of Kenneth’s upset.

Cyrus and Timothy smiled as they approached Cassandra and Kenneth.
Timothy said enthusiastically, “Kenneth, welcome. It’s a great honor to have you at this banquet.”
With enthusiasm, Timothy said, “Mr. Zelinski, welcome. Your presence truly graces this occasion.” His gaze, however, lingered on Cassandra as he spoke.
