Assistant Ryan stood still, feeling a mix of confusion and helplessness.
The sudden order from the boss disturbed his mind instantly.
His brows were tightly furrowed as the boss's unsettling words kept echoing in his head—find a woman and bring her over?
For Assistant Ryan, this was an extremely difficult problem.
This request was too outrageous. The boss had never given such an order before, leaving Ryan deeply puzzled.
His first thought was to find Katherine, but given the current relationship between the boss and Katherine, it was not appropriate to go to her.
After much consideration, Assistant Ryan reluctantly decided to drive to Mocha.
His mood was very heavy all the way.
He really did not want to find a woman for the boss.
If the boss and Katherine got back together later, she would definitely mind.
But the boss's orders were never to be disobeyed.
Forget it, bring the woman over first, then he would see what the boss wanted to do next.
When he stepped into the luxurious yet vaguely ambiguous lobby of Mocha, Assistant Ryan felt like he was in a dream.
He briefly told the Mocha manager about the request.
The manager's face immediately lit up with a flattering smile, which looked very sharp to Ryan.
"Mr. Assistant Ryan, you came at just the right time. There happens to be a new woman today."
The manager's tone was full of flattery. "Her qualifications are excellent in every way."
Ryan frowned slightly. He did not care if the woman was excellent. What he cared about was whether the boss really wanted a woman for that reason.
But now that it was done, he had no choice.
"Okay, bring her here and let her come with me." His words were brief and cold.
He took a stack of money from his pocket and slipped it into the manager's hand, his gaze sharp and piercing. "Keep this a secret. If it leaks out, you know the consequences."
The manager shivered under his gaze and nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, I understand."
Soon, a woman was brought out.
Assistant Ryan glanced at her casually. She looked acceptable from her appearance.
But inside, he felt no emotion, only deeper helplessness and worry.
He really did not want to deliver this woman to Andrew.
He knew the boss's charm and methods well.
If something happened between the boss and this woman, the last hope between the boss and Katherine might be destroyed.
The Mocha manager said to the woman, "You will go with Mr. Assistant Ryan tonight."
The woman nodded slightly. "Okay, manager."
Assistant Ryan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
He said quietly, "Let's go."
When she followed Assistant Ryan to the parked car, the luxury car shone brightly under the lights, like a mountain of gold before her eyes.
In her eyes flashed a hidden excitement and desire, like a hungry leopard suddenly spotting rich prey.
In her mind, she started calculating quickly. If she could be with this man, it would be stepping into a brand new world. She would have endless wealth and honor.
She would no longer have to fake smiles and play games for a living at a place like Mocha.
Assistant Ryan opened the passenger side door for her. "Get in." His voice was calm and emotionless.
The woman nodded slightly, a perfectly measured smile on her lips. "Thank you."
Her voice was soft and charming, with a hint of deliberate allure.
She gracefully sat inside, every movement like a carefully rehearsed dance.
Seeing her settle in, Assistant Ryan gently closed the car door.
He turned and walked to the driver's seat, every step steady and confident. His back looked like a path to wealth and status in the woman's eyes.
In the car, the woman couldn't hold back her restless feelings. She started a conversation without a real reason, "Mr. Ryan, where are we going now?"
She tried to use a gentle tone to get closer to Assistant Ryan, her eyes shining with hope.
But Assistant Ryan showed no enthusiasm. His cold voice cut off her attempt to talk like a sharp knife,
"Just follow me. Don't ask what you shouldn't, don't say what you shouldn't."
This sentence left the woman speechless. Her smile froze for a moment but quickly returned to calm.
"Oh, okay."
Her reply was soft like a whisper, but inside, she felt annoyed at herself for being too forward.
Half an hour passed quietly in silence. The car slowly drove into Shallow Water Bay.
When the scenery outside the window came into her view, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Rows of big villas stood like castles from a fairy tale, shining with charm in the night.
Each villa represented wealth and status, symbols of the life she dreamed of.
Her heart was filled with joy, as if she already saw herself dressed beautifully, walking through these villas, becoming the object everyone envies.
She clearly understood what Manager Qin meant. This chance was like an olive branch from fate. She made up her mind to hold it tight and never let it slip away.
Assistant Ryan parked the car steadily. "We're here. Follow me." His words broke the woman's daydream.
She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door to get out.
Carefully, she followed Assistant Ryan, but her eyes were like restless birds, looking around everywhere.
She greedily took in every detail around her. Every finely crafted scene, every bright streetlight seemed to tell her about a beautiful future life.
Her steps became lighter, as if she already belonged in this luxury world.
Assistant Ryan calmly walked to the side of the main gate. His long fingers gently pressed the fingerprint scanner.
With a soft mechanical sound, the heavy and grand gate slowly opened.
The light coming from inside spread over them like a thin dreamlike veil.
They walked in one after another. The woman was deeply attracted by the yard decoration, as if she had entered a dreamland.
Her eyes passed over the carefully trimmed flowers, grass, and trees. The fountain under the lights sprayed sparkling water droplets, reflecting colorful lights like scattered precious gems.
The stone path under her feet had delicate patterns, as if showing its high value.
Her heart felt like it was gently scratched by an invisible hand. A hard-to-control excitement spread inside her.
Oh my, she thought quietly, how rich must someone be to create such a beautiful garden?
Every detail here showed the owner's strong wealth and elegant taste. And she seemed to already see herself very close to this luxury life.
Assistant Ryan led her further to the villa door. He skillfully opened the door.
As soon as they stepped into the living room, a low-key but luxurious atmosphere hit them.
The lighting was soft and warm, lighting up every corner.
At that moment, Andrew's figure came into sight.
He was lazily sitting on the sofa, wearing a high-quality robe.
His face looked even more handsome in the light. His deep eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky. His high nose bridge and perfect jawline gave him a charming presence in every movement.
When the woman's eyes landed on Andrew, surprise immediately showed on her face.
She never expected that tonight's client would be such a handsome man.
At that moment, she felt her heart skip a beat. A strange feeling quietly grew inside her.
Her eyes showed a complex light — surprise, hope, and a little bit of nervousness.
Assistant Ryan respectfully walked toward Andrew.
He stopped in front of Andrew, slightly bowed his head, and said politely, "Boss, I have brought the person."
He paused, then looked at Andrew with questioning eyes, "What do you think?"
