Not long after N entered the grocery store, she noticed someone following her closely. Turning around, she saw rk standing not far away, his gaze intense and unreadable.


    She didn’t want to engage with him, so she quickly finished shopping, pald, and left the store.


    rk followed her the entire way but didn’t make any overt moves, leaving her with no grounds to <b>call </b>the police.


    Back at home, N decided to stay indoors as much as possible and order groceries online for delivery instead. She felt uneasy about rk’s unpredictable behavior and didn’t want to risk any potential


    T confrontation.


    Although she considered asking Damon for help, thinking he might drive rk away, she didn’t want to get further entangled with the Summers.


    After staring at her phone’s dial screen for a long moment, she eventually put the phone down.


    rk continued to linger around N’s apartment building for over two weeks. His constant absence. from thepany began to frustrate the shareholders, who questioned Michael.


    “Where has Mr. Sumner been? He hasn’t been to thepany in half a month. Does he n to abandon his responsibilities?”


    “If he’s not interested in managing thepany, we should rece him. Thepany can run just fine without him!”


    “Did you all know? My secretary saw him at Golden Gate yesterday while delivering documents. When asked, my secretary found out that he’s been driving there every morning and only leaveste at night. Not one knows what he’s doing there. Surely, he’s not just waiting for clients!”


    Upon hearing that, the shareholders‘ frustration peaked. They demanded that Michael get rk to return and exin himself, or they would call a board meeting to elect a new CEO.


    Michael, with his back against the wall, repeatedly tried to contact rk, but his calls went unanswered.


    Despite his recent efforts to persuade rk to return to work, rk remained adamant about staying


    away.


    After several persuasion attempts, rk warned that further discussions would lead to Michael’s dismissal, leaving Michael with no choice but to concede.


    “Please calm down. I’ll reach out to Mr. Sumner again. promise he will return to thepany by tomorrow,” Michael assured.


    After much negotiation, the shareholders reluctantly left.


    Michael drove immediately to Golden Gate and, as expected, saw rk’s car parked not far from the entrance. He parked his car, sighed, and walked over to rk’s vehicle, tapping on the window.


    The window rolled down to reveal rk’s cold, detached face.


    “What is it?” rk asked.


    Michael said, “Mr. Sumner, the shareholders have found out that you’ve been here for the past two weeks and they’re furious. They’ve threatened to hold a board meeting to rece you if you don’t return to thepany. There’s a lot of paperwork that needs your attention…”


    rk remained unmoved, his


    gaze fixed on the entrance of Golden Gate. He replied, “I neglected her too much for work before. Now, she is the most important thing to me.”


    Michael paused before saying. “Mr. Sumner, if you want to win Ms. Jayston back, you need to focus on your work. After all, you still have your uncle to contend with.”


    rk’s demeanor grew colder, and a surge of anger bubbled up inside him. He had almost forgotten the other reason for his and N’s separation–it involved Damon.


    If Damon hadn’t pursued N, she might never have strayed. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
