| went to Drover's office. Standing at his door, | shot him a message.

A moment passed and he cout to open the door before leadingin with a surprised look on his face.

"Why did you chere all of a sudden?"

"We can talk inside."

Outside was not a place to talk.

| could feel countless pairs of eyes staring atwhen | went in. They must have seen the news.

Following Drover through the layers of security, we finally arrived at his office.

"Please sit." He poureda glass of water.

"Thanks."

Drover sat next to me. He did not seem to be affected by the news, or did he not know about it yet?

After clearing my throat a little, | tentatively asked, "Have you seen today's hot gossip?"

"I have," he responded without hesitation and in a calm tone.

It looked like he really did not care.

"I wonder if it'll hinder your work." | would not have taken this to heart if | were not worried that his project would

be affected.

The masses had the memory of fish. They would immediately forget about something once they got the next hot

topic.

Drover waved his hand. "You chere because you were worried about this? Don't worry, my company isn't

that fragile. Our projects are proceeding steadily."

"What about your project with Grant Corporation? I'm guessing Nicky will announce that she and Theo are

together next."

When the news breaks, Grant Corporation would be affected to sextent. There would also be problems on

Carlson's side, so | would have to inform them in advance.

"No, this kind of news isn't skind of dug-up dirt. Not to mention, it's a topic the reporters were sold, so it'll

disappear soon," Drover revealed.

"Our influence is definitely not as great as those famous celebrities. The fact we beca hot topic shows that

someone pushed us up there. Nicky has really put in a lot of thought and effort." "It's good if it doesn't affect

you. | just cto confirm. You can go back to your work, then. I'll leave first. Goodbye."

"Why don't you stay for a bit more? Let's have dinner together tonight." Drover called out towith both hands

spread out. "Since you're already here." én.sw.net

| hesitated but could not refuse. After going through the invitation in my mind, | nodded. "Okay, but | don't seem

to have much to do."

Drover glanced at his watch. "It's about tanyway. I'll show you around. We'll be just in tto head out and

eat after that." "Alright."

He tookthrough a passage. | never thought that there would be a secret passage like this in an office. It felt

like an ancient secret passage, and it took us stto reach the bottom.

It actually led downstairs.

| found it quite incredible, and at the stime, | was amazed that Drover's mind could cup with such a

design.

"They're now researching a new skill

with the expectation of having it implemented into our lives in the future..." Drover would get so excited and

speak endlessly as long as it was about his field of expertise.

| was also very content listening to him talk about the many research and development systems.

Before | knew it, it was getting late and Drover broughtout of the office to eat in the city.

"Eat more. You've lost weight recently."

"Okay, I'll eat more."

| had a pleasant chat with Drover as we ate. After dinner, he tookback to the villa.

"Go back and rest early. Don't think too much," Drover said suddenly.

Was he trying to console me?

| nodded and pursed my lower lip. "You too. Bye."

"Goodbye."

Watching Drover drive away, | turned around and entered the house.

Coincidentally, Theo was there again.

He could not possibly be waiting forthis time.
