After hanging up the phone, I nced at Lauren. "We need to go back to the office."


    Myra immediately reached out to take Charlie, holding him as they walked together to see us off. As if on cue, Charlie started crying when he saw us leaving.


    I had tofort him for quite a while before he finally looked at us with teary eyes, smiling. Lauren and I returned to the office after he fell asleep in Myra''s arms.


    I went straight to Ryan''s office, and he exined the situation. I asked, "So, do you think we should take this coboration?"


    Ryan pondered for a moment. "There''s no rush. Let''s wait for his information. We can''t afford to pass up business opportunities."


    I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "It looks like we share the same opinion."


    "When you say ''we,'' who exactly are you referring to?" Ryan asked.


    I quickly briefed him on what Atticus had mentioned during the phone call. He contemted and said, "It seems that Atticus has a n. If he''s deliberately hinting at us to create an impable design, he intends to use this proposal."


    "My instincts tell me he''s got something in mind. I can''t figure out Melvern''s strategy. We also don''t know how deep this coboration is."


    "Let''s watch and wait," Ryan said nonchntly.


    I felt that Ryan had made significant progress adapting to the cunning business tactics in the past year.


    At the end of the workday, I received a call from As. He said he was waiting for me downstairs.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    I quickly headed downstairs with Lauren. Ivanna had been anxiously calling me repeatedly.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as we reached the ground floor, I was dazzled by the sight of As waiting for me. What made him different today was that he had driven himself and, to my surprise, in a limited edition Lamborghini.


    The convertible rearpartment was filled with bright red roses.


    The female employees who walked out of the building were frozen in their tracks, unable to move.


    It was a sight to behold, and I felt a bit overwhelmed. Honestly, at that moment, I wanted to escape..


    It seemed like As sensed my hesitation. He quickly rushed over and grabbed my arm, shing a smile.


    The girls around us couldn''t help but scream.


    "Where are you going?" He asked, preventing my escape.


    I looked at him uneasily. "Why did you go all out like this? I..."


    "Today is our most special day. Can''t we celebrate a little?" He said it with a hint of tenderness.


    I cursed inwardly. What kind of ceremony was this? If someone took a photo, the whole city would know.

    Seeing the car speed away, smoothly navigating through the traffic during the peak hours, IS suddenly realized that something was off. The road was unexpectedly clear.


    I was certain that this was also one of As''s ceremonial moves.


    As our car was about to enter the gate, I was shocked.
