Was it really just a coincidence? I held the fork, afraid to move a bit.
Rubi asked, “Such an impressive face, there are actually two of them?”
“Madalynn, you ate so well.”
I was not in the mood to joke with Rubi.
Packed up the bag, ready to run away.
Fortunately, Byron probably didn’t see me just now, my colleague said he had already left with Keith.
The train station was right in front of the restaurant.
While waiting for the bus, a familiar voice sounded from above diagonally.
“Did you stop eating?”
Byron asked calmly.
I froze completely.
He seemed to have just come out to smoke a cigarette.
Beside me was also our company’s top leader, Keith Gallagher.
Keith introduced him, “This is Ms. Wiley from our company.”
Byron nodded lightly.
He looked as usual, as if he didn’t recognize me at all.
Maybe because I was wearing a fluffy hat and a scarf covering half of my face.
Wiley is not a rare surname either.
Keith continued to be attentive.
Byron suddenly spoke up, interrupting him, “What position?”
“Ali? Me? You don’t know about me yet…!
“Lasked Ms. Wiley.”
the creative team leader,” I said, mustering up courage.
“Not bad, young and promising.”

Keith: “Mr. Higgins was praising you! Hurry up and thank him. Nowadays, young people don’t understand social etiquette at all.”
“Thank you, Mr. Higgins.”
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
The bus did not come yet.
I was getting ready to take a taxi and quickly escape from here.
Before the arm was lifted, a black Cayenne slowly approached.
Byron opened the backseat door voluntarily and said, “Ms. Wiley, I will give you a ride.”
Now, looking back, if I still thought he didn’t recognize me, then I was just being foolish.
I turned my head and was about to run. However, Byron grabbed my wrist.
“Madalynn, are you always this indifferent towards the men you have slept with?”
He said this sentence, whispering in my ear.
Keith didn’t hear.
Keith had a stern face. “Hurry up, Mr. Higgins, it looks like it’s going to snow. I kindly offered you a ride, don’t be ungrateful.” I had no choice but to squeeze myself into the car.
Byron sat beside me, while Keith took the passenger seat. Throughout the journey, only Keith kept chattering non–stop.
Byron rarely spoke, and I felt it inappropriate for me to speak up as well.
What could be more embarrassing than the present moment?
Byron must have known that I had twisted the truth in front of Ralph.
When I told that lic
it was just for the sake of momentary revenge.
I had no intention of meeting them again.
In the front row, Keith said he was tired and turned his head to look at me, saying, “Ms. Wiley, don’t just keep staring, say something

What did I say?
After a moment of silence, I spoke tactfully, “Thank you, Mr. Higgins, for investing in our company.”
“No need to thank me, I had my own purpose.
“Mr. Higgins, rest assured, our company would not disappoint you.
“I was not very interested in your company.”
Byron’s words startled Keith.
Then, he slowly uttered another sentence, “Just without using this method, would you be willing to see me, Madalyn?”
