Bruceâs scream was so harrowing that every man presented instinctively
tightened their legs. They looked at Mandy with newfound respect and slight
fear.
Soon after, the pain overtook Bruce, causing him to pass out. The man in the
blue suit cleared his throat, deliberately avoiding Mandyâs gaze, and quickly
directed the men in black beside him to drag Bruce away like a lifeless dog.
After they departed, Mandy watched the receding car momentarily before turning to Jack. âLetâs go.â
Jack nodded repeatedly. âOf course.â
If it werenât for his taut posture as he walked, Mandy might not have noticed
his unease.
As she settled into the passenger seat, Mandy arched an eyebrow and
looked at Jack. âAre you afraid of me?â
âOf⦠Of course not,â Jack genuinely wasnât afraid of Mandy. He was just a
little shaken from what he had just witnessed.
Mandy chuckled lightly, leaned over, and caressed his face, placing a gentle kiss. âItâs not too late to have second thoughts now.â
Jack sneered instantly. Just as Mandy began to pull away, he held the back of
her head and deepened the kiss.
âItâs too late now.â
He unbuckled Mandyâs seatbelt and pulled her onto his lap.
Feeling something solid, Mandy instantly realized something was amiss, but it
was already too late.
Jackâs fervent kiss landed on the nape of her neck, swiftly melting away all
her inhibitions.
After all, no one would come here, so why notâ¦
Only when darkness settled did the car slowly depart from the warehouse.
Jack had assumed that after that day, Mandyâs mood would be down for a
while. But to his surprise, she bounced back the very next day.
âFor those who donât matter, thereâs no point in dwelling,â Mandy remarked
nonchalantly.
From the moment she discovered that Bruce had intentionally caused
Emmaâs death, he no longer had the power to hurt Mandy.
Back at home, Mandy confided in Jack about her actions.
âI didnât want to dirty my hands because of Bruce, so I handed him over to his
arch-enemy, the man in the blue suit,â Mandy mentioned briefly, and Jack
didnât probe further.
Considering they were arch-enemies, Bruceâs fate probably wouldnât be great.
However, the future for him no longer mattered to either of them.
After that incident, Mandy seemed to have let go of a heavy burden,
appearing much more relaxed.
Whenever her eyes sparkled as she told Jack about the bonus she earned
that day, he found Mandy exceptionally adorable.
It was a behavior that should have come off as mercenary in others, but in
Mandy, it always seemed amusing to him.
Jack finally understood why everyone said love was blind. Every move Mandy
made seemed exceptionally captivating to him.
One day, Mandy received an unexpected assignment to accompany Charlotte
on a business trip to Civerpool.
She called Jack with a hint of regret, letting him know the news.
They had planned to dine at a newly opened restaurant that evening, but
things didnât go as expected.
âItâs okay. We can go when you get back,â Jack, already accustomed to
Mandyâs unpredictable schedule, reassured her.
Mandy was very pleased with this. As long as a man didnât interfere with her
making money, he was the perfect partner.
After wrapping up a day of meetings, Charlotte and Mandy initially planned to
dine at the venue. However, Charlotte suddenly told her, âI left an important
document at the hotel. Could you possibly fetch it for me?â
âNo worries, Iâll come find you in a bit,â Mandy agreed without hesitation.
Charlotte nodded in acknowledgment. Mandy headed back to the hotel after
dropping her off near the venue.
The document Charlotte mentioned was right in the center of the room, easy
to spot. Mandy found it without much effort.
However, when she arrived at the venue with the document, she sensed
something was off.
