A grin spread across Peterâs face.
âAbsolutely! You seem to be in high spirits.
â
Mark glanced at him.
He indeed felt both physically and mentally invigorated.
When they arrived at the office, Markâs subordinates were already aware that he had picked up his girlfriend and son.
Seeing that he was in such a good mood, they jokingly asked him to invite them to his wedding.
Peter playfully scolded them.
âYou rascals! Are you teasing Mr.
Evans?â

Mark waved his hand dismissively and ordered his subordinates, âGet back to work! After work, ask Peter for some money to have fun.
As for the wedding, I promise you wonât miss it.
â
His subordinates expressed their gratitude with words of appreciation.
Mark led Peter into the office, where young engineers and civil servants had gathered, deeply engrossed in their discussions.
âI heard that Mr.
Evansâs girlfriend is a model.
â
âAre you serious? Would Mr.
Evans really go for a model?â
âYou guys donât get it! I heard that Mr.
Evansâ girlfriend comes from a prominent family in Duefron, and her foray into the entertainment industry is just for fun.
Mr.
Evans, at his age, has only just decided to start his family.
His girlfriend must be the most beautiful and accomplished woman.
Otherwise, do you think heâd settle down now?â
The room fell silent suddenly upon catching a womanâs appearance.
Someone greeted timidly, âGood morning, Mrs.
Wilson!â
It was Cathy, Markâs first love.
Everyone knew that Mark held a special place in her heart.
They were worried that Cathy might overhear their discussion about Markâs sweet girlfriend.

Yet, Cathyâs injured hand served as a stark reminder of the consequence of her wrongdoings.
She should behave herself.
Cathy did hear them, but she chose to ignore it, greeting them with a smile.
âWhy are you all here? Mr.
Evans will scold you if he catches you slack off.
â
She still seized every moment to mention Mark in her interactions with the employees, attempting to maintain her status as the office hostess.
As others dispersed, the smile on Cathyâs face vanished instantly.
She raised her right hand, though it was challenging with her prosthetic Limb.
Mark hadnât dismissed her, possibly due to their prior relationship, allowing her to remain as a civil servant.
However, she could no longer access confidential documents and had lost her significance.
Cathy stood there for a moment, her brows furrowed.
