Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and there was a faint floral scent in the air.

Alexander did not look at her. He removed his suit jacket and set it aside. “You confirmed the schedule with me on the phone last night, didn’t you?”

Fiona pressed her lips together. “Yes, but I wanted to double–check in case anything was overlooked.”

“If there aren’t major changes, you don’t need to come in again.”

He sat down and opened his laptop. “And try not to wear perfume to work. I’m allergic.”

He paused briefly. “Tie your hair back. It’s more practical during office hours.”

His tone was neutral and professional.

Fiona knew that was how he always was, yet she could not stop the flicker of disappointment.

“…Understood.”

After replying to a few messages, Alexander noticed she was still standing there and finally looked up. “Is there something else?”

Her brows knit slightly, concern coloring her voice. “Alexander, when I left last night, I ran into your wife. She didn’t misunderstand anything, did she?”

“Misunderstand what?”

Fiona gathered her hair into a neat tie before answering gently. “You had too much to drink, so I had someone bring you home and asked Martha to make you something light. I ran into her when I was leaving, and she didn’t look very happy. I’m worried she might have gotten the wrong idea. If she did, should I call and explain?”

Alexander took a sip of coffee. “Her mood wasn’t great, but it wasn’t because of you. Don’t worry about it.”

“Alright…”

Relief flickered across Fiona’s face, only to be replaced by something else.

“I suppose it wasn’t appropriate for me to be the one to bring you home,” Alexander added calmly. “I’m married. And you’re not. It’s better to keep clear boundaries.“/

Fiona forced a smile. “I understand.”

She hesitated before continuing, “Was she upset because of Nathan and Camille? I heard Nathan went to see her yesterday. Alexander, I know it’s not really my place, but they were together for five years. You should talk to her clearly and make sure whatever needs to end does end. Nathan and Camille deceived her for five years. She won’t just let that go, will she?”

Fiona finished saying what she had been thinking.

But Alexander didn’t respond.

The silence stretched longer than she expected.

She finally looked up and realized he was watching her from behind the desk, his expression unreadable, the air in the room suddenly feeling tighter.

A chill ran down her spine.

“I’m aware.”

He set the cup down. “Whatever she chooses to do regarding Nathan or the Hawthorne family is with my

consent.”

Fiona opened her mouth.

“This is work hours,” Alexander said, tapping a finger lightly against the desk. “Let’s keep personal matters

out of it.”

“Yes.”

She lowered her eyes and left.

Once the door closed, the polite smile on her face faded.

Alexander picked up his phone and sent a message. Elena had just entered Velmora Media when her phone buzzed.

Alexander sent a message, “At the office?”

She had driven herself.

Elena replied, “Just got in.”

Alexander sent a message, “Don’t skip breakfast.”

Looking at his message, she still found the contrast amusing. The public image of him and the man she actually knew were worlds apart.

She sent back a sticker and stepped into the office.

Camille, Hannah, and the others were already there.

Swiftline had dozens of employees, but fewer than ten had transferred over to Velmora Media, mostly senior staff and Camille, whose family background and reputation carried weight.

“Everyone, inside.”

Lydia called them into her office.
