She walked over and copied his posture, leaning against the railing as she asked softly, 

“Are you sure you standing here isn’t affecting employees getting off work?” 

A lot of female employees would even take a detour just to walk past once. 

Not to catch Eric’s attention–just because he was ridiculously handsome.

After all, even though Eric worked in the design department, he really kept a low profile. 

When he went out, he even had his own dedicated elevator. 

It was genuinely hard to see him. 

But if they deliberately looped over to the IT department side, nine times out of ten, they could run into him. 

Eric lifted his gaze, just in time to see three female employees walking past together in front of them. 

All three had been sneaking glances at him. 

The moment he looked over, the three of them scattered like startled birds. 

Eric was speechless. 

Alice burst out laughing. 

“Mr. Eric.” 

“Hm?” 

“Do you feel like your toes just took on a major construction project?” 

Eric didn’t know what to make of that. 

Alice laughed shamelessly. 

“Did you dig out a three–bedroom apartment, or a luxury villa?” 

Eric didn’t understand a word.

.:. 

But since she asked so earnestly, he could only clarify first. “A villa?” 

Alice didn’t expect him to actually answer. 

She felt embarrassed. 

And nearly laughed herself breathless. 

Both hands kept thumping the railing uncontrollably. 

“Mr. Eric, y–you really are … really… rare.” 

Eric felt insulted, somehow.

Daniel came over after helping gather the materials, and he saw the scene–oddly harmonious. 

Eric’s gaze was incredibly gentle, with a faint smile on his lips. 

He was looking at Alice with quiet warmth. 

For no reason at all, it gave off the feeling of–she was teasing, and he was smiling through it. 

And Alice, for whatever reason, had a hint of playful mockery in her smile. 

Daniel roughly got it–Mrs. Nolan is teasing Mr. Eric again. 

Sigh… 

Mr. Eric really doesn’t know how to flirt with girls. 

If he were like Mr. Michael… 

Oh, right–Mr. Michael doesn’t dare flirt around anymore either. Rumor had it that he was setting an engagement date with Yvette. 

That was a good thing. 

So, once he saw that the two of them had stopped joking around, he stepped forward to report. 

“Mr. Eric, Mrs. Nolan, there are news from the Spencers. In a week, they’ll hold an engagement ceremony for Mr. Michael and Ms. Martinez.” 

Yvette had publicly confessed her feelings to Michael.

It had turned into a sweet story everyone talked about. 

There were tons of blessings online.

Naturally, the Spencers wanted to ride that momentum–finalize the engagement and secure the biggest benefit for both families. 

“After what happened with James last time, the Martinezes basically collapsed overnight. They want to use this to pull in funds.” 

Daniel briefly explained the Martinezes‘ current situation. 

“Overseas, their businesses have been nearly wiped out. What they still have he new companies–past the startup phase, but still behind everyone else. 

latively 

“This engagement will definitely invite elite figures and business leaders nationwide, and they’ll try to force partnerships into happening.” 

What happened with James had been a scandal, but in business, no one cared. 

They only cared about profit. 

“Oh, and one more thing.” 

Daniel couldn’t help smacking the back of his own head. 

“That James–uh, Connor–has officially been arrested. The authorities already issued an official arrest notice. 

“In a while, he’ll probably be transferred to the prosecutor’s office and the court, and he’ll be sentenced.” 

He probably wouldn’t be getting out for the rest of his life. 

Alice nodded. 

After she came back from the hill town, she still needed to go see Connor. 

There were things she had to ask him directly.

The three of them went downstairs, and Truman was standing at the company entrance, waiting anxiously.

Only when he saw Alice did he finally smile and hurry over. 

“Mr. Eric, Mrs. Nolan.”

The youthfulness on his face was hard to hide, and he sounded a little shy as he spoke. 

In front of Eric, intimidated by that natural pressure, he barely dared to lift his head. 

But while everyone was talking, he still stole glances at Alice. 

One look, and his face turned red. 

Then, he lowered his head. 

He wanted to look again–looked again, and blushed again. 

He repeated it several times before they finally reached the car. 

Truman slid neatly into the front passenger seat, leaving the back for Eric and Alice. 

And the tips of his ears were bright red. 

There was a partition in the middle of the car. 

Seeing him like that, Daniel felt a little helpless inside. 

Kid, your starting line is high—but don’t think about what you shouldn’t think about. 

There’s no share for you. 

Then, he briskly raised the partition. 

He switched on the headlights and quickly merged onto the highway. 

With the partition up, it blocked their line of sight and muffled part of the sound. 

Truman couldn’t hear anything, and he couldn’t see anything either, so he could only close his eyes and rest in boredom. 

The roads to the hill town weren’t easy. 

Even though they’d been working on them, the repairs still weren’t great. 

Potholes everywhere, rough and bumpy.

Only when there was a loud “Bang!” did he feel his body lurch forward, jolting him awake. 

Then, Daniel’s voice came through his car.
