As she left, Chloe noticed he had already tidied the room perfectly. Her affection for him grew deeper.

“Chloe, what’s wrong?” Liam asked when she came back down.

“I forgot my phone. I have a morning meeting.”

“Don’t overwork yourself before office hours.”

Chloe smiled gently. “I’ll listen to you, Liam.”

After they left, Kieran departed quickly too.

Cross Group.

When Chloe saw the flowers from Kieran, a soft smile tugged at her lips.

Whenever she felt tired from work, looking at them calmed her completely.

In the afternoon, she went out to sign a contract. On her way back, she passed Jagger Group.

After a moment’s thought, she bought coffee and pastries and headed inside.

“Ms. Cross!” The receptionist was thrilled.

Chloe nodded politely. “Hello.”

“Are you here to see Mr. Jagger?”

“Yes, I was hoping to-”

“This way, please. This is Mr. Jagger’s private elevator.”

Chloe paused, originally planning to leave the snacks with the front desk.

His private elevator?

Why am I allowed to use it?

“Right this way, Ms. Cross.”

Chloe smiled and stepped in.

Only after the elevator doors closed did the receptionist relax.

Callum had warned everyone: Chloe was the boss‘ top priority. No appointment needed. Anyone who messed up would be sent to Adrar.

When Chloe reached the top floor, Callum was already waiting.

“Ms. Cross. Mr. Jagger is in a meeting. Please wait in his office.”

Chloe was surprised he led her straight into Kieran’s private office.

“Would you like something to drink?”

“No, thanks. How much longer will he be?”

“I’m not sure.”

Chloe checked her watch. “Please give this to him for me.”

“Ms. Cross, let me inform him at once. Just a moment.”

Afraid she would leave, Callum rushed to notify him immediately.

Chloe looked around. Her gaze fell on a photo frame on the desk, and she froze.

This is…

Azure Peak University?

It was a selfie of Kieran on campus, but the angle was odd–like he had secretly photographed the girl behind him.

She was in the frame too.

That girl looked so familiar.

Chloe picked up the photo.

It was her–the day she graduated at eighteen.

He liked me back then?

“Chloe.” Kieran abandoned the executives in the meeting room and rushed over excitedly.

She had come to see him on her own.

He hugged her tightly.

“I’m so happy.”

He kissed her without thinking.

Chloe gently pushed him back. “You liked me long ago?

Kieran glanced at the photo. “Yes. I liked you even then. I just wasn’t good enough for you.”

“You…”

Kieran lifted her into his arms, sat down in his office chair, and opened his safe. He took out a small box.

Chloe felt she had seen it before.

He opened it. Colorful gemstones sparkled inside.

“Chloe… do you remember these?”

He handed her the box.

Chloe picked up a ruby and looked at him confused.

“Did… did I give these to you?”

She had owned gem mines since childhood. She loved digging for shiny stones, keeping them in her bag, and sharing them with classmates.

“You did.”

Chloe stared at him intently.

He’s extremely handsome. I glanced twice at him when we firsmet.

I should have remembered someone like him.

Maybe he just changed a lot over the years.

“Chloe… does it ring a bell now?”

She shook her head. “Give me a hint.”

“You don’t remember who you gave them to?”

“I gave gems to at least ten boys.”

Kieran went silent.

His arm around her waist tightened. He spoke through gritted teeth, “Ten boys?”

“Kieran… you’re still my lover. You don’t get to question me.”

Her voice was calm, her smile playful as she patted his cheek.

Kieran kissed her fiercely, stealing her breath.

“Chloe… am I still just your lover?”

“Problem with that?”

“Can’t my status be upgraded? I hate being only this.”

Chloe laughed and pinched his face. “First explain when you started secretly liking me.”

“At first, I was just grateful. Then I watched you grow, and you shone brighter. I fell in love.”

Chloe nodded slowly.

Kieran squeezed her cheek gently. “At Azure Medical Center. You asked Dr. Moore to help me. You gave me this jewelry box to help me through.”

Chloe finally remembered.

She stared at him in shock. “It was you.”

“Yes. And that wasn’t our first meeting.”

Surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.

“We first met at Silverspine Mountain. I was beaten badly by the Jagger family. No one dared come near me… except you.”
