“Alright.”
Ryker walked away reluctantly, looking back three times with each step he took.
Aylin took a taxi back to the office, resting her eyes during the journey. Upon arriving at her destination and entering the building, she immediately heard lively discussions taking place.
“Ms. Koch is back!”
The employees suddenly turned their heads, their eager gazes leaving Aylin dumbfounded. “What’s going on?”
Everyone surrounded Aylin with admiring gazes.
“Ms. Koch is so awesome! We were just watching the stock prices fluctuate and getting really anxious, but before we even had a chance to worry, you solved the problem!”
“And there’s Ryker!”
A young girl with a ponytail excitedly chimed in, “Ryker? He’s an international supermodel! Oh my gosh, his Twitter updates are just too sweet!”
“Yeah, yeah, one handsome and one beautiful, I’m totally shipping this couple!”
The chirping sounds of praise filled Aylin’s ears, and she found their joyful and lively appearance quite adorable, so she didn’t say much more.
With a smile as her response, she turned and headed towards the office.
This laugh was even more enchanting, “Solving major problems while remaining so calm and composed, is this the demeanor of a CEO? Ms. Koch is about to make me swoon.”
Upon hearing the lively chatter of young voices behind her, Aylin shook her head and smiled.
Youth really is full of energy.
However, after she left, the noisy crowd still didn’t quiet down, as Twitter once again exploded with activity.
Just moments ago, Sebastian, who had firmly stood up for Sally, quickly deleted that tweet. Following this, the second hottest trending topic emerged: [Vertex Entertainment goes bankrupt!]
“Oh my goodness, this person has been married and still does such things, so shameless!”
‘One’s a cheater, and the other’s a homewrecker. What a perfect match!”
“Isn’t the main point that Vertex Entertainment went bankrupt? Vertex Entertainment was a well-known company in the industry, how did it suddenly go bankrupt?”
“What other reason could there be? It must be Ms. Koch who took action. With this sleazy guy and homewrecker slandering you like that, how could you let them off the h**k?”
“No way, a sc*mbag is just like rotten cabbage! Ugh!”
The employees looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to guess the outcome. Then, suddenly, they were hit with another explosive piece of news.
“Hey, Sally’s video made it to the trending list!”
“What, what, let me see?”
Everyone clicked on the news.
Sally found herself in a hospital room, wearing a loose patient gown, her face covered in gauze. Her cheekbones were swollen, and she looked both disheveled and haggard.
With a pained expression on her face, she tearfully apologized in the video, “I’m so sorry. My inappropriate words have offended Ms. Koch, and I even tried to twist the truth and confuse people. I’m deeply ashamed. I apologize to the public and Ms. Koch.
Please, I ask for everyone’s forgiveness. I was just momentarily confused. As a girl struggling alone in this world, it’s inevitable to make mistakes. Why should women make things difficult for each other?
One wrote: [Seeing is believing! I won’t believe it unless you show me!]
Someone immediately responded by commenting: [I’m inside the venue, and I secretly took a picture. She’s absolutely stunning! Hurry up and take a look, you’ll scream when you see it!]
Everyone immediately rushed to the floor with the pictures, holding their breath and excitedly clicking on them, only to find out the images were broken!
It wrote: [The image that you searched is unavailable.]
Everyone was confused.
“What’s going on? It disappeared as soon as it was posted?”
“I don’t know, I’ve sent it several times and it’s always like this.”
“Gosh, is it really that difficult to catch a glimpse of a pretty lady?”
They conversed back and forth, but in the end, they still couldn’t catch a glimpse of the beauty’s true face.
All these words were taken in by a man who observed everything.
In the hotel lobby near the window, a man stood tall and straight, with broad shoulders and long legs. Even though he was dressed simply and wore a baseball cap, it couldn’t hide his extraordinary demeanor.
His side profile was beautifully sculpted, smooth and clear, perfect for the camera. After completing a series of tasks, he gently closed the laptop and said, “I told you, no one can hurt you.”
He looked up at the deep blue sky, the vast expanse seemingly endless, yet it could not contain the weight of his longing.
Gazing at the soft, fluffy clouds floating in the wind, his thoughts drifted back to a time long ago. It was as if he was speaking to himself, and yet also making a promise to someone else. The man whispered softly.
“I will always protect her, so you can rest assured…”
