    N froze for a moment and turned to Damon. “No… Why would you say that, Mr. Sumner?”


    Damon’s dark eyes, filled with an unreadable emotion, locked onto hers<b>. </b>“If that’s <i>not </i>the case, why are you sitting so far away from me, Ms. Kinsey?”


    N stiffened and quickly sat up straight, lowering her gaze. “I just didn’t want to disturb your work.”


    As N adjusted her posture, the distance between them shortened considerably.


    She ced her hands neatly on herp, her gaze fixed downward, looking remarkably obedient.


    Damon set his document down, recalling how he had seen her smiling while talking to the man in the car that day. Yet whenever she was around him, it seemed like she couldn’t get far enough away.


    Did he really look that scary? Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The rest of the drive to Prospectus Technology’s branch office was spent <b>in </b>silence.


    When they finally arrived, N let out a small sigh of relief as she stepped out of the car. She had been tense throughout the ride,pletely unlike her usual self.


    Luca smiled at her. “This way, Ms. Kinsey.”


    Following him through several turns, N was led into arge conference room, where approximately 80 Prospectus Technology employees were already seated.


    Having given plenty of lectures before, N felt unfazed standing in front of a crowd. She approached the podium and began sharing her research and the process behind it.


    The seminarsted over three hours, concluding with a round of enthusiastic apuse. Some attendees even recorded the entire talk to reviewter.


    Before long, the video spread throughout Prospectus Technology’s internalwork, eventually catching Spencer’s attention. Recognizing N, he stared in disbelief.


    Wasn’t she supposed to be dead? How was she suddenly reappearing after five years? And if she was at Prospectus Technology, did that mean she had already seen Damon?!


    Spencer’s mind raced as he immediately called Luca.


    Meanwhile, Erin also came across the video.


    Using her status as Damon’s fiancee, she had built connections within Prospectus Technology, and one of the employees trying to curry favor had sent the video to her.


    When she saw N, her face twisted with anger. This woman just wouldn’t stay dead!


    She needed to ensure that N would never appear in front of Damon again.


    Just as N was preparing to leave after the seminar, she received a call from the nanny. Mason had


    fallen and cut his head–it might need stitches. They were on their way to the hospital.


    Her face turned pale with worry, and she quickly rushed toward the exit.


    It was rush hour, and after ten minutes of trying to hail a ride, she still hadn’t managed to get one.


    Just as panic began to set in, Damon’s car pulled up beside her.


    The passenger–side window rolled down, and Luca looked over at her. “Ms. Kinsey, where are you headed? We can give you a ride.”


    In N’s anxious state, she didn’t have time to think <b>it </b>over. She opened the door and got into the passenger seat, saying, “Mr. Fleming, I need to go to Fyrest Hospital. Thank you.”


    As she buckled her seatbelt, she suddenly became aware of the presence behind her. Seeing Damon in the back seat made her face go pale, and her hands shook slightly.


    N said quickly, “Mr. Fleming, actually, I should probably take a cab. I don’t want to inconvenience Mr. Sumner. I know he’s very busy.”


    She hurriedly began to unbuckle her seatbelt, but before she could open the door, Damon’s voice came from the back.


    “I’m not busy this evening. You seem to be in a hurry–must be family or a friend at the hospital. Luca, take Ms. Kinsey where she needs to go.” His tone was calm but carried an undeniable authority.


    “Understood,” Luca replied as he locked the doors and hit the gas, pulling away without hesitation.
