    If it were really going toe to blows, knowing Brody’s personality, he would probably just stand there and let Leon hit him, then call the police afterward.


    Once the police were involved, there was no way Leon could stay on this project.


    Seeing the concern in N’s eyes, Ruby quickly reassured her, “No, I stopped him just in time. He’s calmed down now.”


    Hearing that, N finally let out a sigh of relief. “I’m d you stopped him.”


    After everything that happenedst time, Leon had be much moreposed, but N still worried he might act impulsively because of her.


    “What’s up with that photo anyway? I believe you, but anyone else who sees it could easily get the wrong idea,” Ruby asked.


    After all, the photo clearly showed Damon holding N’s hand.


    Just as N was about to respond, her phone suddenly rang.


    Seeing it was Damon, she wasn’t surprised–he must’ve heard about the photo, too.


    “I’m going to take this call real quick,” she said, moving away.


    She walked over to the railing and answered. “Mr. Sumner, I’m guessing you’re calling about the photo.”


    Damon’s steady voice came through. “Yes. I’ll take care of it. You don’t need to worry.”


    “What are you nning to do?” N asked.


    Even though Damon had only grabbed her hand to stop her from getting him medicine, it was hard to exin it away.


    “Just leave it to me,” Damon replied.


    Since he didn’t seem willing to borate, N didn’t press further.


    After hanging up, she put her phone away and walked back to Ruby. “Don’t worry about it. Mr. Sumner said


    he’ll handle it.”


    After thinking for a moment, she exined further, “About the photo–I ran into Mr. Sumnerst night after work. He was having stomach pain, so I nned to buy some medicine for him. He tried to stop me and identally grabbed my hand, but I pulled away. I didn’t realize someone had taken a picture.”


    “Oh, see,” Ruby replied.


    Having known N for several years, Ruby had be her biggest fan. She believed everything N said, knowing she wouldn’t lie. N?velDrama.Org content.


    The two walked into theb together, seemingly unaware of the eyes following them.


    N walked straight to her workstation.


    Brody smirked, his tone mocking. “Some people pretend to be all proper, but it turns out they’ve got skills-


    going as far as snagging Mr. Sumner.”


    Ruby red at him in disgust. “Brody, if you don’t need your mouth, why don’t you donate it to someone who does!<b>” </b>


    Leon sneered from the side. “With that nasty mouth of his, even if he gave it away for free, no one would want it. They’d probably find it bad luck!”


    The two teamed up, and Brody boiled with anger.


    Despite that, he quickly recovered andughed. “Leon, are you one of her admirers too? Otherwise, why would you be so quick to defend her when she hasn’t even said anything?”


    Leon’s fists clenched as he stared coldly at Brody. “Say that again.”


    Just as Brody was about to respond, Tina’s voice suddenly echoed, louder than usual. “Hey, check thepany group chat! Mr. Sumner just posted something.”


    Damon: [This morning, a photo of me holding hands with ourb researcher, Ms. N Kinsey, was circted within thepany. It has led to a lot of falsements and unwarranted ridicule directed at Ms. Kinsey. As the CEO, I feel it’s my responsibility to rify the situation.]


    Damon: [The photo is real, but the truth is that I was pursuing Ms. Kinsey and trying to hold onto her. She was rejecting me at the time, and it was not a case of us holding hands, as some rumors suggest. I apologize to Ms. Kinsey for the impact this has caused.]


    Damon: [Also, the workce is for work. I expect all employees to focus their energy on their jobs instead of spreading unsubstantiated rumors or gossip. I hope this matter ends here. Anyone caught spreading rumors or making derogatory remarks about Ms. Kinsey will face immediate dismissal!]
