Yvette's face turned pale. "Brother, you don't trustjust because of this?" Finn frowned deeply, and before he

could say anything else, Yvette's tears fell even more heavily. She buried her face in her hands, sobbing and

complaining.

"Yes. | lied about this. Keith was found by Fiona, Miss Banks of the Banks Group, through her connections. She

was a new friend | knew at the company."

"| didn't mean to deceive. Fiona made smistakes and everyone knew it. The whole company was biased

against her. I've experienced that feeling of being criticized and misunderstood, which was unpleasant. Fiona has

changed and wants to helpand the company."

"If I tell the truth that Keith was hired because of Fiona's connections, they would start to distrust him.

"We didn't know Keith would lie to and deceive us. When everything was revealed, | was so relieved that Shakira

had found Mr. Reynolds and his team. At least, | didn't make a huge mistake"

Yvette's voice becchoked and hoarse. "I thought you cto savefor you understood and know me. |

hadn't thought, after all these years as siblings, even you don't believe me. Did | mess up so badly that | let you

down too?"

At the end, Yvette slowly lifted her head, with her eyes brimming with tears and full of sorrow and grief.

Finn was silent for quite stime. Regardless of the reason, the facts couldn't be changed. She deceived

everyone for fear of being suspected, even making him bear the blame.

Finn, who was meticulous and strict at work, couldn't tolerate such selfish and overly ambitious subordinates in

the

company.

Strangely, Finn suddenly thought about Mitchell and Felix. Ever since they were kids, Mitchell had been the

closest to Yvette, yet before disappearing, he gradually becdistant and indifferent to this deep sibling bond.

Felix was the scase. At that moment, he could somewhat empathize with his "sister" who had been part of

the family for nineteen years. He realized she wasn't as naive and innocent as she seemed.

Finn's eyes grew more intense. After a moment, he hesitantly pulled out a sky-blue handkerchief from inside his

suit jacket. "Stop crying. Wipe your tears."

Yvette took the handkerchief and wiped her face, leaving dark marks from her tears on it.

Finn's expression stayed serious. "Whether your intentions were good or not, lying is still wrong, especially when

it comes to work matters.

"As you mentioned, if it weren't for Shakira, no one would have caught Keith's pretense. By the tyou all

signed the contract and got the project started, it would have been too late to correct anything." Yvette

mumbled quietly, "I was reflecting on my actions while waiting for you. | felt frustrated and full of regret.

"If I hadn't been so competitive about the project with Shakira, none of this would have happened, and no one

would have misunderstood you. It's all my fault. I'm really sorry."

Finn rubbed his forehead, feeling a sense of powerlessness as if he were hitting a cotton pillow. He didn't say

anything else and just told the driver to take them home.

Yvette kept her head down, pretending to wipe her tears away, and in a moment, the look of grievance and pity

had vanished from her face.

After returning to her desk, Shakira dove into preparations for the upcoming project meeting. Twas short.

After a flurry of activity, it was nearly ten at night. As she emerged from the four-hour meeting, a sudden

thought hit her- She thought, "Terrible. | forgot to tell Big Devil not to wait for me.

Shakira quickly grabbed her phone, surprised to find that Walter hadn't sent her a single message. That didn't

make sense.

Colleagues said goodbye to her, and Shakira replied absentmindedly, slipping into the stairwell as she called

Walter.

He picked up after just one ring, sounding mock-upset. "Finally you think of me, huh?"

"Sorry, sorry. I've been stuck in meetings all day and haven't had a chance to check my phone," said Shakira.

Walter's voice turned sharp. "So you haven't eaten? Neglecting your health for a few bucks?"

Shakira meekly accepted the scolding but softly defended herself. "After sealing the deal, | get about 300

thousand dollars as a bonus, not just a few bucks." "Shakira," he shouted.

"Yes. Don't get upset, please. Missing one meal isn't a big deal. I'm heading back now."

"No need to go back. Cup here."

Shakira was puzzled. "Huh?"

know you're working late. | didn't leave the office."

"Oh. Wait for me. I'm coming up right now."

Shakira quickly gathered her things and rushed to the private elevator. The executive office was already empty.

She made her way into the arms of the handsman under the curved sky ceiling. His scent melted away all

the tiredness from her busy day. Walter gently stroked her long hair, pulling her onto his lap.

Just then, Brian cin with the freshly heated meal. Seeing the scene, he quickly set the food down and

quietly left the

room.

Shakira's eyes lit up as she saw the sizzling roasted beefsteak on the table. "Are these from Veiled Vine?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled.

Walter playfully pinched her nose. "Hurry up and eat."

"Haha. Then | won't hold back."

Shakira put on gloves and started devouring the roasted pigeon. It was delicious.

Walter watched her intently. The breathtaking view of the bustling city outside contrasted with the sight of this

cute girl devouring the pigeon, with her face shiny with oil.

He felt it like a dream, something he never imagined. But now, his arms were filled with the solid warmth of

reality.

Walter grabbed a napkin and gently wiped the oil from her cheek. "Slow down. No one's going to take it from

you."

"It's just too tasty. | can't help it. Did you have any?"

Walter teasingly remarked. "Do you think I'd starve myself, just waiting for you?"

Shakira's eyes twinkled with playfulness. "I know you wouldn't, but | bet you didn't eat much."

Walter raised an eyebrow. This Little Fox was absolutely right.

After finishing roasted beefsteak, Shakira took a piece of gammon. She ate a bite herself, then fed a spoonful to

Walter. He happily accepted and even finished off the mushroom soup. Shakira finished eating and drinking and

then burped contentedly. "Let's head home. You must be getting sleepy by now."

Usually, Walter would be in bed by ten, but now it was almost midnight.

Walter didn't move, with his eyes fixed on her. "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Explain what?" asked Shakira.

Shakira looked at him eagerly. "Does that explanation satisfy you?"

Walter lightly flicked her forehead. "Money lover."

He started the wheelchair and was ready to take her back holding her like this.

But Shakira grabbed the table. "You've asked your questions and now it's

my turn."

Shakira pointed at the photo fron the table. "Why did you leave it here? It's not good if someone sees it."

Walter grabbed her hand and asked back, "What's wrong with that?"

Shakira blushed slightly. "It just doesn't seem appropriate. CEO of the Lopez Group puts a couple's photo on his

desk? It doesn't match the image of a domineering CEO."
