Lewis's phone rang; it was his family urging him. He didn't take the call, just silenced it.Lewis glanced at Judy, "Yeah, I used to have a friend living here. By the way, you should also get checked at the hospital, the company will cover the expenses."After such a serious accident, Judy didn't even want to get checked; Lewis was worried she might have internal injuries. Sometimes, one might look fine on the surface, but internal organs could have been damaged."Yeah, thanks for your concern, President."Judy watched the car drive away on the roadside and didn't turn to go upstairs until it was out of sight. Now it was almost four in the afternoon, and Judy hadn't gone to the hospital, feeling she didn't have any major issues, just a bruised knee that was now much better.Not long after Judy arrived home, John called her, "Judy, are you back from the business trip? Tonight I've invited Susan over for dinner at my place; you both need to sit down and talk things out."John didn't kno

The meal brought back familiar feelings among the three of them.To be precise, it was Judy and John who seemed to return to old times, while Susan was completely distracted during the meal, her glances occasionally falling on Judy's belly.The thought of Judy carrying Lewis's baby unsettled her, filling her with fear and worry.Taking advantage of Susan's improved demeanor, John took the opportunity to ask, "Susan, don’t you plan on bringing your boyfriend to meet us?"Judy also said, "Why, are you still mad at me? Rest assured, I won't say anything. Seeing that you're doing so well now, I believe your boyfriend is sincere. We wish you the best.""No," Susan forced a smile and said, "He really is busy. It's not that I don’t want to bring him around to meet you, he just went on a business trip a couple of days ago... to Germany, might take a few months to return. Once he comes back, I'll definitely introduce him to you all."As she ate her shrimp, Judy casually asked, "What's your boy

Susan was filled with anticipation, a bit nervous, and a bit scared.However, Lewis didn't come any closer, and the anticipated kiss never came. Instead, there was only a cold, probing question: "Was it really you that night?"Lewis had begun to question Susan. He tried to get closer to Susan but still felt no desire, unable to find the same connection felt that night.The sudden interrogation whitened Susan's face.Susan opened her eyes to see Lewis’s cold demeanor and felt extremely anxious.“It was me, Lewis, what’s wrong?” Susan tried to stay calm, “My resume fell in the room, and you found it, right?”Lewis stared at Susan coldly, his grip tightening on her shoulder, "I'll give you one more chance to come clean. Was it or was it not you at the Holiday Hotel that night?""Lewis, you're hurting me," Susan said, both alarmed and afraid. She didn't know what she had done to make Lewis suspicious.But she would never admit the truth, for that would mean losing everything.Lewis's gaze

Louis didn't take the situation in any other direction, simply joking around.He knew Lewis well enough to understand what he was about.Lewis didn't engage with his banter, lighting another cigarette instead."Boss, what’s wrong? Talk to me, don't hold it in," Louis was serious this time. "Is it something to do with the family? I heard that your uncle was put in the detention center, you sent him there."It wasn't a surprise to Louis that Lewis had sent Bard to the detention center; that was just Lewis's nature, hard and unforgiving. That was why rumors spread about Lewis being heartless and ruthless.Lewis flicked some ash, "These are trifles.""What’s bothering you then? Is the family pressing you to marry? Or is it really a 'time' issue? Or could it be you like men and have chosen an ordinary woman as a cover?" Louis's speculation got progressively more outrageous."You looking to die?" Lewis's glare carried a killing intent.Louis tactfully kept quiet, observing Lewis.After a lo

Louis entered with a gift in hand and said, "Judy, these are all for you to replenish your body. Girls have to take good care of themselves."Judy was still pondering why Lewis would come to see her when Louis took the opportunity to bring the gifts inside."Louis, you didn't need to do this," Judy said. "These are too expensive. Please take them back.""These are skincare products and bird's nest made for girls. What would I do with them? You should use them." Louis laughed. "Don't be polite with me. You are now the person Lewis is most concerned about, so of course, I have to maintain a good relationship with you."Judy: "......""You've got it all wrong, Lewi—""Judy, I've known Lewis for over twenty years. I know him better than anyone," Louis chuckled. "Is he the type to care about his subordinates? Even ghosts wouldn't believe that. I'll bet anything that Lewis is interested in you. Judy, you have to be careful.""That's absolutely impossible." Judy brought the noodles out from
