Sutton supported Tyler, adding, “The main reason is that Director Wynn is so beautiful. Beauty can easily overshadow talent.”
After being reassured, Medea regained her confidence. She gave Xander a grateful look, then spoke to Tyler. “Mr. Tyler, you’re too kind.”
To make up for his earlier mistake, Tyler chatted more with Medea. “WT Business School is a top–tier institution. Miss Wynn, you’re not only beautiful but also alented. May I ask which company you’re working for now?”

ndifferent later in the conversation?”
Since he hadn’t noticed anything unusual, he was confused.
