The truth was, last night Tilda had suddenly gotten a craving for something ridiculously dark and decadent.
She casually mentioned it while chatting with Jude, and without a second thought, he had it delivered right to her.
Tilda had also asked if he’d been busy lately, and whether personally stepping in to deal with the Jensons would cause him any trouble.
Jude reassured her it was no big deal. He even mentioned he’d have to take care of something the next day.
Then he stayed with her for two whole hours before heading out.
What he didn’t say was that he’d be flying to Lucien for a business trip.
Jude had never hidden the fact that he was interested in forming a contract with her, but he’d always been a gentleman about it. Never once pushed or forced her into anything.
Maurice’s eyes glinted with amusement. “If Jude knew how much you were thinking about him, Ms. Tilda… I’m sure it’d make his day.”
“Mr. Rowse, don’t get the wrong idea. Mr. Bell and I are just friends,” Tilda replied calmly.
Sure, she could admit their relationship had progressed rapidly lately, but they were nowhere near that level yet.
“Mmm, I get it. Now you’re friends. But who knows about the future? Fate’s like that, right?”
fun,
Clearly, Maurice had zero intention of playing neutral. He was shamelessly helping Jude out–wingman duties, fully activated.
You’re welcome, Jude. This is my final assist as your loyal bro, he thought.
Tilda didn’t say anything.
Then Andy finally stepped in.
“Alright, Mr. Rowse. If you’re here for a drink, that’s cool–welcome, even. But maybe don’t get too involved in our Tilda’s love life, yeah? Our girl here? She’s way better off staying gorgeous and single. Romance just isn’t necessary for her vibe. Okay?”
If Andy hadn’t figured out that Maurice meant no harm, and hadn’t genuinely loved the vibe of Nightingale Bar, he would’ve kicked him out already.
Andy would’ve been seriously annoyed if they lost this place and couldn’t even throw their own farewell party here.
This was a farewell party for their closest friend.
No room for side characters.
“Okay, I’ll stop talking. Mr. Saville, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s an honor to finally meet. This drink’s

on me.”
Just then, music started pulsing from the dance floor.
Una, clearly overwhelmed by Maurice’s presence, leaned over and suggested they go dance.
Tilda also down to join, but just as she was about to head over, a unique notification sound chimed from Tilda’s phone.
It was a dark web alert.
There was only one possible sender…
Her apprentice–DJ.
Andy noticed too, and subtly shot Tilda a look.
Then Andy turned to Una with a grin. “Actually, Una, I’ve been wanting to dance too. Let’s go?”
“Yesss!” Una cheered.
Wait… did I just get ditched?
Even though he had never met her in person, the admiration he felt was more than just respect.
It was the kind of intense devotion only a diehard fan feels for their idol.
Yes. That’s right.
No one would ever have guessed that Dominic–CEO of the Jenson Group, firstborn of the ultra–elite Jensons–was secretly a hacker.
And more than that… Queen’s apprentice.
The person he admired most in the world was her.
Dominic had never told anyone. Not a soul.
Not even his own family.
THE
To the outside world, and to the Jensons themselves, Dominic was the model son.
He’d inherited Russelland Blair’s best genes.
Graduated early with a master’s degree from a top international university, returned to Cetherland with honors, and from the moment he stepped into Jenson Group, he was named CEO.
Through raw skill and cold precision, he quickly won the respect of the entire company.
Anyone who doubted him or tried to stir up trouble was swiftly removed, even the old guard.
His ruthless efficiency had surpassed Russell himself.
Which was exactly why Russell had felt confident enough to hand the reins of the company over early and retire with Blair to enjoy their golden years in peace.
