The next dayAmanda was in her room, typing a report. For a full fifteen minutes, she focused on her laptop, until suddenly she felt something was wrong.Why is the company atmosphere so calm today?During the week during Reid's leave, the company was calmer because there were no new big projects being worked on, so the level of hectic felt by the employees was reduced.

Moreover, Amanda is tasked with being Reid's right hand, checking if something is wrong and fixing it.But today, the phone on her desk didn't ring at all.

Raynold was the person most surprised by Reid's arrival. How could Reid suddenly come? Even if Reid was planning to go to work, shouldn't he have come in the morning? If he knew that, Raynold would have chosen another way to attack Reid.Then Raynold's gaze turned to the figure of Amanda Waverly. The woman smiled with a happy face at Reid's figure.Raynold cursed in his heart. Amanda must have called Reid to come to the office right now. He should have made a more thorough plan regarding this woman. Raynold thought it was enough not to tell Amanda about this meeting, then his plan had succeeded. It turns out that this woman has sharp instincts so she can detect Raynold's plans.Reid walked with confident steps to the CEO's chair. Behind him was Charles Brown, his personal assistant who faithfully accompanied him."Sorry I'm late for this meeting," said Reid as he sat down in his chair.

Meanwhile, in a different room, Raynold called his two sons. They had to change their plans again regarding the current situation.“What's wrong, dad? Why call us? Did the project presentation not go smoothly?" Brian asked.As the person who suggested this idea, Brian was also the one who helped the most in conducting research and compiling the report. It's not surprising that of Raynold's two sons, the one who asked most enthusiastically about the meeting was Brian. Meanwhile Harry just crossed his arms with a bored look.“The project was a mess, Reid found a lot of flaws in the project and chipped away at them. I have to revise it from the beginning," Raynold answered with a sour face.Harry, who initially had a bored face, immediately widened when he heard his father's answer. "You said Reid found many flaws in this project, did he come to the office today?" Harry asked.Raynold nodded.“Damn it!” Brian cursed. Even though he had prepared everything well, Reid still found a flaw? I

The next day Reid still went to the office as usual. Charles had previously suggested that Reid not come to work yet and wait until the spies they ordered had finished investigating and given their report to Reid. At least after that, Reid will know who the perpetrator is, who the enemy he must avoid is.However, Charles' suggestion was immediately rejected by Reid.Just yesterday Reid apologized to company officials for taking a long leave and promised to set a better example, then now Reid wants to take another holiday?The company officials will ridicule him and never want to trust him again.Apart from that, Reid wasn't actually that worried about who the perpetrator was.

Reid was of course surprised by Amanda's presence, especially by the woman's panicked words and expression."What's wrong, Amanda?" Reid asked, frowning."You have to help me," Amanda said in a demanding tone, ignoring Reid's question.Reid's frown deepened. “Yes, but first explain to me what's wrong? What should I help you with?” Reid asked again.But the woman instead paced around Reid's room, biting the tips of her nails. She muttered—rather babbled—to herself. “How could he order me to do this? Gosh, I'm an adult. He has no right to boss me around like this.”Reid turned to Charles, giving him a questioning look, maybe his personal assistant knew what was going on.Aren't Charles and Amanda quite close? Reid knew that Amanda often complained and even talked about himself to Charles. If it weren't for Amanda's enormous service, Reid would have reprimanded her. How can a subordinate gossip about her boss—especially out loud—in front of the boss himself? It's outrageous.But Charles

Meanwhile, still in the same company but in a different room, a middle-aged man was walking back and forth in his room. Several times he seemed to clench his jaw and clench his fists tightly. Emotions were running deep in his heart, but he knew for certain that he couldn't get out of control at this time at work. Especially at times like this, Raynold couldn't possibly do anything that would make himself even more suspicious.A few moments later the door to Raynold's room opened, revealing the figures of Raynold's two sons, Harry and Brian."What's wrong, dad?" Harry asked after closing the room door tightly. Brian had walked ahead and taken a seat across from his father's work desk which was currently empty because the owner was still pacing around unable to sit."Are you sure last night's incident didn't leave any evidence that shows you were the perpetrator?" Raynold asked Harry, his voice sounding anxious.“You don't need to worry, dad. I've been very careful," said Harry."Yes, v

Reid stepped towards Amanda's table. Previously, Amanda had sent a message to Reid, telling him what table number she had. So when the restaurant waiter greeted Reid at the door and asked if Reid had made a reservation, Reid nodded and said Amanda's table number."Table number 17, in the name of Miss Waverly and Mr. Cooper," said the waiter with a frown. “Did you say the table number wrong? Mr. Cooper was here earlier, so you....”Reid nodded with a smile. “I'm not Mr. Cooper. You could say I'm a friend who came to greet them," replied Reid."Oh."After that, the waiter took Reid to table number 17 which was located on the roof, near the balcony.Reid could already see Amanda's figure from afar. The female employee wore a white long-sleeved shirt with a crop top and a matching skirt that hugged her long legs. The suit has a floral pattern that covers the entire surface of the shirt and skirt.Reid has to admit, Amanda's current appearance is indeed beautiful. That doesn't mean that Am
