“Right, Mason?”

He nodded. “You’re absolutely right, Ms. West.”

Ethan fell silent.

His dark eyes were intense as he stared unblinkingly at Dawn across from him, as if trying to drill a hole through her.

It wasn’t a dream or hallucination.

It was really her.

After three years apart, time had made her even more breathtaking. She seemed to come from hell and heaven at once, both righteous and wicked, alluring and enchanting.

Compared to him, Roxanne’s shock was written all over her face.

She stood there dumbstruck for quite a while before saying in a trembling voice, “It’s really … you.”

“Hmm?” Dawn met her gaze openly, her smile lingering. “You don’t recognize me?”

These words carried many implications.

As if saying, “We both work at Stonewarden Group. How could you not recognize me?”

But more than that, there were other meanings.

Roxanne wanted to shake her head, but her throat felt tight, her neck stiff and unable to move. Her eyes turned bloodshot. “How did you survive? Dawn … How are you still alive?”

Though she’d made many guesses before, when someone she’d thought was dead truly appeared before her eyes, the impact was enormous.

“Hmm?”

Dawn neither denied nor confirmed it.

She raised an eyebrow with an ambiguous sound, her gaze turning to Ethan who had been silent. His eyes were shrouded in fog, thick and heavy, with no end in sight.

“Mr. Jackson, are you planning to sign this contract while standing?”

Ethan’s throat tightened, his hoarse voice clearly showing restraint. He said, “I’ve heard for so long that Stonewarden Group’s new person in charge is drop–dead gorgeous. Seeing Ms. Porter today, you truly are captivating at first sight. My apologies for losing my composure.”

Hearing this, the amusement in Dawn’s eyes faded considerably.

“Mr. Jackson, you’re mistaken. My last name isn‘ Porter. It’s West.”

At her words, shock flashed across Roxanne’s face once again.

How is this possible?

My father actually …

Ethan didn’t react much. His heart was still pounding like crashing waves, but he hid it well. Nothing appeared amiss on the surface.

“Very well, Ms. West.”

He casually pulled out a chair and sat down. Throughout this process, his eyes never left Dawn across from him.

The lighting in this conference room wasn’t great, especially on an overcast day. The few rays sneaking through fell on the wall, making the expressions on people’s faces appear uncertain in the contrast between light and shadow.

Dawn tapped the table casually with one hand, her downcast eyes revealing neither joy nor

anger.

Mason pulled out the contract and pushed it over.

His serious demeanor appeared quite professional as he nodded. “Mr. Jackson, this is Stonewarden Group’s newly drafted contract. Plase review it.”

Ethan didn’t look at it and just said directly, “Pen”

Everyone except Dawn looked at him in surpris

Tony said in a low voice, “Mr. Jackson, shouldn’t you at least skim through it?”

“No need.” Ethan’s expression didn’t change. “Stonewarden Group and we are already long- time partners. Trust is the foundation.”

Ethan’s eyes darkened, his thin lips pressing together.

Dawn acted as if she didn’t notice, naturally handling her bag to Mason.

They chatted casually as they walked.

“What should we have for dinner?”

Mason answered, “Cretelese food? Flayerade food? I had someone recommend restaurants from several cuisines. They’re all excellent. You can have whatever you want.”

Dawn hummed in acknowledgment, her lilting tone almost coquettish.

“Let’s go with Cretelese food then. I’ve been eating too much greasy food these past few days. It’s not sitting well.”
