I was speechless, wanting to perform a sword–swallowing act on the spot.

I chuckled nervously, “Mr. Shaw, if you want to avoid the blind date, don’t involve me.”

Xander frowned. “Secretary Wells, I can see you’re only pretending to care.”

I was silent for two seconds.“… Really, don’t use me as a shield. If you don’t want to go, talk to your mother yourself, I’m off work.”

Xander’s gaze was deep.

Only when the elevator door opened did he straighten up, walking out with an air of elegance and aloofness. I faintly heard him sigh, “She’s determined to make me go on a blind date.”

…?

How many times do I have to say it, it’s your mother Mrs. Shaw, your mother, your mother who wants you to go!!

Not me!!

Why blame me!!

You’re the boss, but you can’t be unreasonable!!

In the parking lot, Derek leaned against a car, waiting for us.

After getting in the car, he asked, “Back to the apartment?”

‘No, Mr. Shaw has a blind date today.”

I answered him, then gave him the restaurant address.

Derek:“…A blind date! Are you going with Mr. Shaw?”

I smiled without answering again. He sensed the implication in my words and cast a sympathetic glance at me.“What a shame!” he sighed through the bond.

I waved.“Just drive.”

Derek drove, seemingly shaken, stealing glances at the back.

After Xander got in, he closed his eyes to rest.

His cold, handsome face seemed to emanate a faint, icy mist…like a courtesan forced to receive guests, resentful, but unable to disobey.

I was helpless.

This morning, I wanted to explain to Mr. David, he said it was fine, but the report reached the Chairman and his wife, and now it’s a big deal.

Can he be more powerful than his parents?

My phone vibrated.

It was a message from Summer, the intercepted conversation.

This little girl really…couldn’t wait to share it with me.

I put on my earphones and clicked play.

< Chapter 221

Theard a conversation between Tanner and Mrs. Cooper.

“This is a lucky charm I got from the fortune teller, for protection.”

“It’s ugly, I’m not wearing it.

“Be good, listen to your mother, you must wear it at all times, even when sleeping, otherwise… Alex will find you.ou’re an omega with no strength to even harm a chicken, you can’t beat him.”

“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Alex? He’s already dead, how can he find me? Will he come as a ghost?”

“Shhh, keep your voice down! Please, Mom is begging you, wear it, okay? It will bless you to bond into the Winter family successfully. As long as you pass this hurdle, you’ll be happy…”

Then Mrs. Cooper persuaded her earnestly.

Finally, Tanner compromised.“Fine, I’ll wear it, you’re so nagging.” She grumbled impatiently, then said mockingly.“Mom, don’t be so superstitious, there are no ghosts in this world. Even if there are ghosts, I’m not afraid, I’ll kill him again. Years ago, I killed her as an omega. If he dares to fight me, even as a ghost, I’ll make him vanish.”

The conversation ended there.

So the boy’s name was Alex.

Poor boy, he encountered a devil, and this devil was about to wreak havoc in the Winter Family.
