Amelia didn’t notice that after she turned away, the executives‘ conversation quietly shifted to her.

“That woman just now, the one with Mr. Clem. Who is she? I don’t recognize her,” asked a man in gold- rimmed glasses, refined and scholarly in appearance. His gaze lingered on the elevator where Amelia had disappeared, curiosity clear as he spoke to those beside him.

“Mr. Radcliffe, you don’t know?” a slightly heavyset man cut in at once. “She’s the design director. I’ve heard that since the design department was set up half a year ago, it’s burned through quite a bit of money without producing any real results. Yet Mr. Clem never seemed anxious. Turns out he was just waiting for this director.”

Another lowered his voice, a hint of speculation in his tone. “Waiting for her is putting it lightly. Since the position was created, did you ever see an external recruitment for it? There was none. From the way she interacts with Mr. Clem, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was earmarked for the role from the very start. With that background and those connections … best not to cross her.”

They exchanged a knowing look.

Only the bespectacled man, Vince Radcliffe, didn’t join in.

He adjusted his glasses, and behind the lenses, his eyes held only growing appreciation.

In the restaurant, Amelia sat across from Tim.

“So, how was your first day back? Settling in all right?” Tim asked as he handed her the menu.

“Pretty good,” Amelia replied, flipping through it casually. “Challenging, but manageable.”

“I knew it,” Tim said with a smile. “I’ve never doubted your ability.”

He paused, then grew more serious, as if recalling something. “There’s one thing I need to tell you. The Starlight Global Design Competition you participated in before is holding its finals next Saturday. The organizing committee has been in constant contact with me. As one of the judges, you’re required to attend.”

Amelia nodded, She remembered.

“Take some time over the next few days to review the finalists‘ materials so you’re fully prepared. On the day of the finals, aside from the on–site judging, there may so be a short press interview, Tim said.

“Sure, no problem,” Amelia replied without hesitation. “ist send the digital materials to Amanda. I’ll go through them tonight”

As she spoke, the screen of the phone resting on the table lit up.

It was a WhatsApp message from Mason.

“How does the first day feel?”

The corners of Amelia’s lips curved upward.

She picked up her phone and tapped out a reply

“Work feels the same wherever you go.”

Less than ten seconds after the message was sent, another one popped up.

“I’ve asked my assistant to send you some chamomile tea. Drink it while it’s still warm. Don’t push yourself and end up with a stomachache again.”

This time, the smile on Amelia’s face could no longer be hidden.

That subtle change in her expression didn’t escape Tim notice.

He raised an eyebrow, an amused grin spreading across his face as he drawled, “Well, well. Look at our Mason, who usually seems above all earthly concerns. Being in love really does change a man. All that checking in and fussing … he’s practically a textbook example of a devoted boyfriend.”

Amelia felt a little embarrassed by his teasing, warmth creeping into her cheeks.

She quickly turned her phone face down.

Tim, however, showed no intention of stopping. “You think that was the only message? This morning, he even called me personally. Very solemn about it too. He told me you haven’t been feeling well these past couple of days and instructed me not to pile too much work on you, and said your health should come first.”

“You don’t need to listen to him,” Amelia said.

“Work is work. I’m here to do my job, not to coast.”

Meanwhile, Ethan soon learned that Amelia had returned and started working at the Stardale Group.

And the Stardale Group was a company funded by Mason.

The news hit him more abruptly than any reunion he had imagined, and far more terrifying.

At that moment, a subordinate was still reporting beside him, their voice buzzing in his ears, but Ethan could no longer process a single word.

At some point, the tip of his pen had pressed hard into the document, leaving a dark blot of ink, mirroring the turmoil he couldn’t put into words.

“Mr. Rowe? Mr. Rowe?” The reporting manager, seeing response, called out cautiously.

Ethan snapped back to himself, his eyes churning with violent emotion.

With a sharp motion, he slapped the file shut, cutting the manager off mid–sentence.

“Notify everyone. This afternoon’s meeting is canceled)

“What? But Mr. Rowe, the board members are all-”

Ethan ignored the manager’s stunned reaction. He stood abruptly and strode out of the office.

The car sped through the city streets, and there was only one thought in Ethan’s mind.

He needed to see Amelia immediately. He didn’t even dare to think about why she had gone to the Stardale Group
