Everything Mason had arranged was clear and orderly. He had thought through every possible situation, even keeping track of Ethan’s movements.

“Okay, I understand.” Amelia nodded obediently.

“Mmh,” Mason responded and finally released her. “Go on. Don’t be late for work.”

Given the signal, Amelia felt as if she’d just been granted amnesty.

She pushed the car door open in a near panic and ran forward without looking back. Her retreating figure looked exactly like a startled little rabbit bolting back to its burrow.

Watching her flee in such a hurry, Mason leaned back against the seat, the corners of his mouth lifting into an uncontrollable, satisfied smile.

Only after a long moment did he pull back onto the road, smoothly making a U–turn at the intersection and driving off in the opposite direction from Stardale Group.

What neither of them noticed was that, at a nearby intersection, a pair of eyes was fixed intently on them.

Vince had left home late that morning and was stuck at this damn red light.

Annoyed, he tapped the horn. Then, without meaning to, his gaze was drawn to a Bentley parked along the roadside.

One look told him it was worth a fortune.

Just as bitterness rose in his chest, the passenger door of the luxury car opened.

A familiar figure stepped out.

It was Amelia.

Vince’s eyes widened instantly.

He could clearly see the flush on Amelia’s cheeks.

His heart sank hard.

He couldn’t make out who was in the driver’s seat. The windows were heavily tinted.

But this car, something clearly far beyond what an ordinary person could afford, stood in glaring contrast to the beat–up Volvo Amelia had mentioned just a couple of days earlier as her boyfriend’s car.

It had only been a few days.

Vince thought of Amelia’s usual demeanor, aloof, proud, seemingly untouched by worldly matters. Compared with what he was seeing now, something in his gaze immediately shifted.

Amelia hurried into the company building. The cool blast of central air conditioning finally took some of

Even so, she could still feel her heart racing out of control.

Only after she sat down in her private office did she finally slump back against the chair, letting out a long breath.

The office was quiet. She could clearly hear the steady thump of her own heartbeat.

What had just happened in the car replayed in her mind again and again, like a slow–motion film she couldn’t stop.

Amelia could hardly believe that one day she would do something like passionately kissing her boyfriend in a car parked by the roadside.

So this was the aftereffect of being in love.

Strong enough to turn someone like her, who had once been reserved, cautious, even passive in relationships, into someone this… bold.

She felt shy and annoyed with herself, yet deep down, a quiet sweetness spread that she couldn’t deny.

She sat spacing out in her office for over ten minutes and drank two cups of cold water before the heart that felt ready to jump out of her chest finally began to calm.

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door.

“Come in.” Amelia cleared her throat, forcing her voice to sound as steady as usual.

The door opened. Amanda walked in carrying a stack of documents, her familiar bright smile on her face. “Good morning, Amelia! These are the files you need to review today. Take a look—”

As she spoke, Amanda habitually placed the documents on Amelia’s desk. But when she looked up and got a clear look at Amelia’s face, her words stalled halfway.

“Huh?” Amanda blinked, then leaned in curiously. “Amelia, why is your face so flushed? Are you running a fever?”

Amelia instinctively lifted a hand to touch her cheek. It was still warm.

Her eyes flicked away as she denied it calmly. “No. It’s probably … probably because I was in a hurry this morning. I walked too fast, even ran a bit. I got overheated.”

The excuse was completely unconvincing.

Sure enough, Amanda’s expression clearly said she didn’t believe it.
