Not wanting to disturb Jonathan’s work, Angela didn’t stay in his office for long before expressing her desire to head out for a short walk.
Upon hearing this, he immediately rose from his seat, clearly prepared to tag along with her. “I’ll go with you,” he offered.
Glancing at the towering stack of files on his desk and noticing Spencer’s pleading look, Angela gently shook her head. “You should be working. Besides, I’m just going for a casual stroll.”
Moreover, she didn’t expect Jonathan to accompany her the entire time when she came to his office with him.
He hesitated for a moment before reminding her. “Just remember to come back and find me.”
He was genuinely concerned that Angela might feel hesitant to disturb him and end up opting to leave without letting him know.
With a smile, Angela agreed and left the office.
Jonathan’s gaze lingered at the closed office door until Spencer
interrupted. “Stop daydreaming and focus on work. It’s like you’re looking at a bunch of flowers instead of a person.”
“She’s more beautiful than flowers,” Jonathan mused, surprising Spencer with his unexpected comment.
Meanwhile, Angela was in high spirits as she headed outside with light and carefree steps. However, her cheerful mood was brutally cut short when she unexpectedly bumped into Cassandra.
Cassandra was dressed neatly and was much more put together compared

to the last time they met. She greeted Angela with a smile. “Mrs. Lawson, what a pleasant surprise.”
Angela was taken aback by her friendly greeting and the use of the title “Mrs. Lawson.” She recalled their previous encounter at Jonathan’s company, where she had requested Cassandra to address her. Although Cassandra had done as she was told, her expression was clearly unwilling. It was an unexpected change for her to do so on her own initiative.
“Miss Cassandra.”
Angela nodded calmly before heading toward the lounge. Now, she was able to face Cassandra without being affected in the slightest.
Cassandra’s smile faltered slightly and turned forced. She didn’t address Angela as Mrs. Lawson out of choice but out of necessity.
After meeting Jonathan at Northland, she had received a warning from him while she was settling down at her relatives‘ place. Moreover, she had even received a reprimanding from her family because of this. They had sent her over to do business, and she was indeed in the wrong when she went to see Jonathan with her luggage and angered Angela.
Moreover, Jonathan completely refused to do business with her family. because of this incident, and she was growing extremely frustrated.
Cassandra deeply regretted her actions, so much so that her nerves unwittingly stood on end at the sight of Angela.
Upon seeing that Angela was in a decent mood, she hurried to keep up with her and took the opportunity to ask, “Mrs. Lawson, are you here to see Mr. Lawson?”
Angela was unbothered by Cassandra following her, but she didn’t expect her to continue the conversation. After a doubtful glance at her, she shook her head lightly. She was accompanying Jonathan to the office, not there

to see him. However, she was not kind enough to explain this to Cassandra.

Naturally, Cassandra noticed that Angela did not want to speak to her, but she had no choice but to continue currying favor from her. After all, she couldn’t leave the business negotiations hanging. She believed that as long as she established a good relationship with Angela, she would succeed at signing the contract with Jonathan.
Confused by Cassandra’s persistence, Angela continued on her way, unsure of the intentions behind her actions. Despite Cassandra’s friendly demeanor, she wasn’t used to her presence, and she wasn’t fond of it either.
“Mrs. Lawson, are you heading to the rest area?” Cassandra’s face was nearly turning stiff from forcing a smile, but she continued to ask politely.
Angela shook her head. “I’m just taking a stroll.”
She had planned to go to the rest area to read a book and have some tea, but she didn’t want to admit it in front of Cassandra to prevent her from talking to her. Despite this, she still made her way toward the rest area.
Feeling awkward by Angela’s behavior, Cassandra could only let out an embarrassed laugh before she asked somewhat stiffly, “Could you please check with Mr. Lawson if he is available?”
“You can ask Mr. Lorenzo,” Angela replied before walking directly into the rest area, leaving Cassandra behind.
Fortunately, Cassandra was tactful enough not to follow her.
While Angela was enjoying her free time, Fanny heard a phone ringing at Scarlet’s ward. Startled, she quickly located the source of the sound on the hospital bed and recognized that it was Christopher’s phone at a glance. In order not to disturb Scarlet, she stepped out of the room to answer the

call.

However, upon answering, the caller provided an address and room number without much explanation. At the sight of the name “Jane” on the screen, Fanny recalled her blind date with Christopher and did not dare to say a word out of fear. Fortunately, the caller hung up after giving the address and room number.
By the time Fanny returned to her senses, she had already memorized the details.
Meanwhile, Christopher was being scolded by Florence’s associates.
As the bodyguard drove him back, he questioned him, “Are you sure your phone is at the hospital? You’re not trying to take this chance to escape, are you?”
There were only the two of them in the car as Florence found it
inconvenient to make another return trip, so she had exited the vehicle when it stopped in front of Jonathan’s office building. However, she strictly instructed the bodyguard not to let Christopher escape.
Although the bodyguard doubted Christopher would attempt to flee, he kept a close eye on him and even resorted to verbal threats before exiting the car.
Christopher, aware of the consequences, did not entertain any thoughts of escape either.
Despite having other means to contact Jonathan, he could not leave his phone at the hospital. This was also the reason why he suggested returning to retrieve his phone when Florence failed to reach Jonathan through the company phone.
When the car stopped, he hurriedly exited while the bodyguard followed closely, monitoring his every move.

Christopher headed straight for Scarlet’s ward, where he spotted Fanny waiting outside.
Chris, you’re back?” Fanny whipped around upon hearing his footsteps, and she looked surprised to see him return so quickly.
She had assumed that he would take a long time to return after he had been taken away, and she hadn’t expected to see him again so soon.
Unaware of Fanny’s thoughts, Christopher hurriedly stopped in his tracks. and whispered to the bodyguard, “Can you wait here? I’ll speak to her for a few minutes and ask about my phone.”
The bodyguard shot him a look and said, “Two minutes.”
Upon receiving his permission, Christopher hurriedly darted over to Fanny. It was only then that she noticed he had brought someone along. The man was dressed like the one who had invited him out earlier, but they were not the same person. She halted in place, watching as he approached her.
“Fanny, why haven’t you gone home to rest?” Christopher asked with concern, noticing her pale face as soon as he got close.
