An hour had only passed after Ian’s proposal. Except for the two, this was only known by the

customers who were eating in the restaurant.

Besides, he had yet to announce his engagement with Leah to the public. He didn’t think that the news

could spread quickly to the point where Sasha, a woman who had disappeared for two years, could get

hold of the news within an hour.

Unless… she had been secretly watching him from afar.

The thought of this gave goosebumps to Ian.

It was a wonder how Sasha managed to avoid his search, hiding under his nose in Linkville for two

years, while observing him in the meantime.

As Ian was deep in his thoughts, his face turned stern, which was a big contrast from his usual

gentleness.

Sasha immediately panicked and walked a few steps forward, trying to get a hold of the hem of Ian’s

clothes.

“Ian, I was worried about you! Why do you want to be with her? I was the one who grew up with you!”

She said in a panic.

Ian pulled back the hem of his clothes, his face was getting solemn, “Sasha, how did you become who

you are now? Just tell me the truth, are you involved in Mr White’s incident?” He inquired.

Sasha’s face turned pale after hearing his question.

“No… I had nothing to do with it… I’m scared too…” She lowered her head and muttered.

Suddenly, she lifted her head up and glared at Ian. Her gaze was filled with hatred and sadness.

“I hate you, Ian! This is all because of you!” She ran off after screaming at Ian.

By the time Ian wanted to stop her, Sasha had already run out of sight.

He pressed his eyebrows together and decided not to chase after her. If Sasha was able to appear

before him, it meant she was in Linkville and that he could find her next time.

……

When Leah got home, she took a bath and went to bed exhausted.

She recalled Ian’s proposal as she closed her eyes. She looked at the ring on her finger and had mixed

feelings about it.

Everything happened in a flash.

The next day, Leah overslept again.

As someone who was self-disciplined, she would usually be awake by seven in the morning. She

hadn’t overslept for a long time. Looking at the clock, it was already half past eight in the morning.

Leah hurriedly got out of bed, and changed her clothes while looking at her daily schedule.

Thankfully, she had nothing on her schedule for today, besides reporting for duty at the Howard Group.

Ben had sent her the necessary information regarding her role, and today was to be her first day.

Leah washed up and picked a gray coat to wear, then tied a low ponytail before going out.

After entering the building of the Howard Group, Leah walked to the front desk, “Hi there…”

As soon as she spoke, the receptionist’s eyes brightened up after taking a glance at Leah, “Ms White?

Mr Howard told us that you can go straight to the president’s office once you’ve arrived.” She smiled

and said politely.

“The president’s office? Shouldn’t jewelry designers have their own offices?” Leah spoke her thoughts

out loud.

According to Ben’s efficiency in work, it shouldn’t take too long to prepare her an office.

The receptionists heard and looked at each other as they were equally confused, “We aren’t sure

either. You could go up and have a look first, Ms White,” One of them suggested.

Leah thought for a while before agreeing, “Sure.”

Compared to her previous visit, the receptionists’ attitude was significantly better.

Leah didn’t have to guess what Han’s orders were.

She walked into the lift with her card and went up to the fifteenth floor. She found Han’s office easily.

This was also Leah’s first time entering Han’s office.

In the past, when they were a married couple, it wasn’t that she didn’t come to the company to look for

him. But as he didn’t seem to want to explain their relationship to others, she was stopped by the front

desk every time.

Of course, Leah brought this up to Han.

However, he wasn’t concerned and simply looked at her indifferently, as if she was being childish.

Leah pushed the door open. The office was spacious with a color tone of black, white and gray,

showcasing the simplicity and profound nature of the host.

No one was in the office.

Seeing Han wasn’t here, Leah hesitated before giving him a call.

“Hello?” Han’s low voice was heard from the other end.

It was unusually quiet on his end and she didn’t know what he was doing at the moment.

“I’m already in your office.” Leah didn’t bother giving a second thought and went straight to the point.

“Okay.” Han’s tone turned somewhat cheerful as he responded, “Give me 15 minutes.”

Leah then decided to end the call upon hearing that.

However, Han’s voice was suddenly heard again from her phone, “If you’re bored, you can turn on the

computer.”

Leah was taken aback but replied nevertheless, “Alright.”

Meanwhile, everyone in the conference room was holding their breath and dared not make a noise.

They really didn’t expect that Han, who was often stern, would answer a phone call during a meeting.

Especially as the meeting this time went disastrously, when a senior executive made an error of

principle and Han’s face showed annoyance throughout the meeting, making the atmosphere cold and

heavy.

Yet, they witnessed Han’s face lit up after picking up a call.

“Mr Howard…” Ben whispered.

“Now, where were we?” Han placed his phone down and knocked on the meeting table.

“We were discussing the solutions for the error,” he replied as the others nodded.

“Oh.” Han nodded and pointed at the clock, “I’ll give all of you 15 minutes then.”

“…” The meeting room then fell back into silence.

After Leah ended the call, she sat down for a while and thought of Han’s words.

Why did he mention his computer to her? What was there to see?

She stood up and walked to the desk after thinking about it and glanced at the computer.

The screen was pitch-black as it was in sleeping mode.

Leah moved around the mouse and clicked on it. The screen lit up, showing no password restrictions.

As she turned on the computer once more, a page instantly popped out in front of her.

“…” Leah was taken aback by the pop-up page.

She thought that a computer in the president’s office would show either complicated stock market

pages or bar charts of sales performance data.

But she was surprised to find the game, Animal Boom, playing on the screen after Han’s computer was

turned on.

How bored is he? She recalled their conversation just now. Or is he afraid of being a boring person?

Then, the office door suddenly opened and Leah quickly let go of the mouse.

However, it wasn’t Han who walked in. It was Ben.

“You’ve arrived, Ms White.” Ben smiled warmly at her.

“Yes, may I know where my office is?” Leah stood up and asked.

Ben grinned widely before answering, “This is your office.”
