I smiled faintly. “I’m not afraid of overtime.”

I was afraid of…overtime with him“.

I rubbed my temples. Under the increasing mental pressure, I poured myself another cup of coffee.

Dusk gradually settled, and the city lights began to illuminate the most glamorous urban landscape.

Zane’s dinner order arrived. He placed the food in the outer rest area.

Excep: for drinks, Mr. Shaw didn’t allow any other food in his office. Anyone daring to eat snacks and leave crumbs would be severely reprimanded.

‘Call Secretary Wells out to eat together.”

Xander said lightly.

Zane: “Okay, I’ll go call her.”

He went to my office to call me.

My expression twisted.“…Actually, I’m on a diet.”

Zane gave me an “I understand” look. Who would want to have dinner with their superior?“IT WAS AS TERRIFYING AS HAVING DINNER WITH THE HEADMASTER.” His wolf answered with despair.

He persuaded me, “Eat something; otherwise, he’ll ask.”

In the rest area.

The three of us sat down to eat.

took a bowl of rice, eating silently.

Perhaps the coffee had affected me; I had no appetite, pushing the rice around without much desire to eat.

Secretary Wells, aren’t you feeling well today?” Xander glanced at my untouched rice.

got up and returned to my office.

Kander put down his chopsticks, the air pressure inexplicably low.

He glanced coldly at Zane, who was eating very heartily.“Delicious?”
