Blake hadn't been like this the night before.
Now, even her tone sounded cold as ice. The people under her didn't even dare breathe too loudly in front of her.
Blake was sharp, authoritative, and commanding.
The stark contrast made Herman even more drawn to her.
When Herman was at the company, he thought about her constantly.
But there was nothing he could do.
Only during executive meetings could he steal a glance at her, and even then, he had to maintain his image as the vice president.
He carried himself with an elegant, refined, yet distant demeanor when speaking to Blake.
But what he really wanted was to pin her against his office desk, still dressed in her work clothes, and tell her that he had liked her for a long time.
Herman thought of himself as someone who kept things bottled up.
Maybe anyone with a secret crush was like that.
After the meeting ended, Herman adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses and, in a professional tone, invited Blake out for coffee to discuss work.
In reality, it was a quiet way to spend time with someone he liked, while also getting work done.
Two birds with one stone.
But then Herman suddenly received an international call.
"Herman, help me!" Melody's voice came through, crying hysterically.
Previously, Melody had gone after Bria. Out of consideration for Herman, Draven had arranged for Melody to stay abroad for three years.
Otherwise, if the Winstons came to settle the score, things would escalate and become even worse for Melody.
Abroad, Melody had returned to school. During breaks, she traveled around the world. It barely counted as punishment.
But she still caused trouble constantly. She clashed with classmates and kept running into shady people who took advantage of her.
Herman had no choice but to assign someone to act as her assistant.
But Melody was difficult and never respected her assistant.
Who knew what had happened this time.
Herman stayed patient. "What happened?"
"Herman, Bria came after me again overseas. She's going to kill me. Come save me. I don't want to die!"
Melody was sobbing uncontrollably. Since going abroad, her mental state had clearly worsened.

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
