He stayed at her house all 365 days of the year, and her parents treated him well, yet he didn’t show up for their funeral, resigning the next day. In her view, few people can be so heartless. She shook her head, shook off some thoughts, and put down her phone to focus on work. A little after three in the afternoon, Hunter Warren came to the office to see her. When he appeared in her office, Faye Townsend looked surprised: "What are you doing here?" Hunter Warren approached with a playful smile: "I missed you. I realized you’re just an irresistible seductress." Faye blushed: "Hey." You should know I compressed all my work today to make time for you." "You’ve finished your work, but I haven’t finished mine yet." Faye pointed to a stack of files on the desk. Hunter raised an eyebrow and directly grabbed the files: "Come with me." "Hey, where are you taking my files," Faye quickly followed. The two left the office one after the other, and Hunter said to Declan Rivers, "If anyone comes looking for Director Townsend, just say she’s out handling some business." Declan Rivers didn’t respond but rather looked at Faye. Faye was puzzled: "Where are we going?" "Don’t you want to learn how to finish all this work in the shortest time possible?" Faye suddenly understood, he was going to teach her. She nodded at Declan Rivers and left with Hunter. She originally thought Hunter was going to take her out of the company. But unexpectedly, he just took her to her dad’s office. "Why did you bring me here?" Hunter put the files on the desk and tapped on them. Then, with a mischievous look, he stepped forward and suddenly picked her up horizontally. Faye buried her face in his chest: "What regrets?" "Wasting all these years, what do you think I regret?" Faye was speechless. "Right now, I really just want to keep you by my side at all times. To make up for the things we couldn’t do in the past fourteen years, one day at a time." "What fourteen years, fourteen years ago, I was only fifteen. If you messed with a fifteen-year-old girl, would you still be human?" "Wow, even a fifteen-year-old girl knows how to maintain her dignity. And who was it who told Henry Sullivan that they had to take me down?" Hunter tapped her forehead: "Look at you, so brave and fearless back then. Why are you so timid now? I think you have a serious deficiency of courage. As a veteran in traditional medicine, I think I have a duty to help you replenish it." "As a veteran in traditional medicine? Who? You?" Hunter smirked devilishly: "What, I can’t do it?" "Pfft, what kind of veteran in traditional medicine are you." "You’re right; it’s a bit much to call me a veteran. Let’s just say traditional medicine. The method of using the yang to replenish the yin is something only I dare to try on you. So you, seductress, just go ahead and absorb my yang energy." "Cough cough." Faye was startled by Hunter, suppressing a laugh as she sat up: "Hey, are you here to be a comedian today? Did Kay Forrest possess you?" Hunter sulkily sat up: "Seriously, why bring up that cranky guy." "Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I realize you’re not here to help me; you’re here to fool around and drag me down. I still have so much work left undone." Hunter pulled her to sit down, adjusted her top before tidying up his own clothes. "You’ve paid your tuition fee, so I have no reason to take it for nothing. Come on, I’ll teach you." Faye followed Hunter out of the cubicle. He sat down at the desk, Faye standing to one side, and he quickly pulled her over to sit on his lap. Faye wanted to get up, but Hunter held her tightly: "Just sit here and watch. You can see clearly and hear clearly here." While saying this, he opened a file: "I tell you, when looking at this kind of contract material, since the people below have gone through rigorous reviews to bring it up, it proves that they have mostly checked it over. Also, the template and content of each company’s contract are actually quite similar. Once you see a lot, you should be able to tell from just glancing at the beginning and end that these are verbatim copies from your company’s originals, with just the products and data changed, so you don’t need to spend too much time, just check the key points directly." As he spoke, Hunter took a pencil and marked down the contract. "Look at these figures, there can’t be any fundamental mistakes, like moving the decimal point forward or backward, these can cause very significant losses to the company. No matter how many people have reviewed it, you should double-check and confirm there are no problems before signing off." "But what if something in it has been altered?" "That won’t happen. Every company’s contract revisions go through a preliminary review by legal counsel, after which they have final evaluations before being sent to you for signing." Faye nodded; indeed, this greatly improved efficiency. Next, Hunter explained the key points of cooperative development plans and bidding materials to Faye. As he explained, several files were easily processed. Faye sighed inwardly, clearly showing that experience counts. Hunter is definitely more seasoned than she is, and he summarizes rules so well. Faye quickly got up and glared at him: "Rogue." Hunter laughed and stood up, while Faye gathered the documents: "We’ve been out for quite some time, we should get back quickly." Hunter shrugged, and the two returned to her office together. She wanted him to leave first, but he wouldn’t, waiting to pick her up after work. As soon as quitting time arrived, Declan Rivers knocked and entered. "Director Townsend, there’s something I want to report to you." "Go ahead." Faye nodded. Declan Rivers looked a bit troubled as he glanced at Hunter. Faye understood there might be something private, so she stood up: "Come on, let’s talk outside." "Alright, I know you have secrets to discuss. You stay in the office, I’ll go out." Hunter fiddled with his phone a bit and then placed it on the coffee table before heading out. Faye asked, "What’s the matter?" "Faye, you’re right, someone’s indeed following you. And they’re doing it in shifts, 24/7. As soon as you leave the house, you’re being watched. My friend took pictures of the three of them, and there’s even one person loitering around your house, monitoring the two kids. Since we haven’t confronted them directly, we don’t know who these photos are being sent to." Faye clenched her fist, "They’re even monitoring the two kids?" What on earth is Oliver Turner up to? Why is he monitoring Darnley and Miya too? She felt a slight discomfort in her heart: "Alright, I understand, Declan, you can leave now." "Yes." After Declan Rivers left, Faye stood up and walked to the window. It seemed she really needed to have a good talk with Oliver Turner. Hunter re-entered the room, and Faye turned around, lips pursed. "Can we leave now?" Faye nodded: "Yeah." "Then get your things; I’ll go wait for you in the underground parking lot." "Alright, go ahead; I’ll be down soon." Hunter picked up his phone from the coffee table and went downstairs first. Sitting in the car, he turned on his phone’s recorder, listening to the conversation between Faye and Declan Rivers, his brow slightly furrowed, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. When Faye came down, he’d already set the phone aside. She got in the car: "Alright, let’s go." On the way home, Hunter didn’t mention anything about Faye being followed. "When we get home, I might not be able to have dinner with you and the kids." "Do you have something to do?" "Just before you came downstairs, I got a call. There’s some issue at the company that I need to handle personally." Faye was surprised: "Why didn’t you say anything sooner? Go handle your business, don’t worry about taking me home." "No matter how busy I am, I always have time to pick up and drop off my wife." Hunter gently rubbed her left hand.
