Having experienced Fenna’s tactics before, M responded calmly, “We were never truly together, so


    how can there be a breakup?”


    Fenna retorted, “Then why are you here to see him


    Seizing the moment, M countered, “You used to boast to me, iming you’d been dating Nate for a


    month and warning me to stay away from him. What’s your n today to drive me away?”

    Fenna clenched her fists, her face flushed red with anger, but she remained silent.


    “You didn’t see himst night, did you?” M pressed on, unperturbed. “You came here today to


    discuss work, didn’t you?”


    Gritting her teeth, Fenna maintained her silence.


    Shielding her eyes from the harsh sunlight with her hand, M muttered, “It’s too bright.” With that, she


    brushed past Fenna.


    Suddenly, Fenna called out, “Chubs Hoffis, wait!”


    It was the first time Fenna had addressed her by her full name, not as “Ms. Hoffis“. M wondered if


    she had abandoned pretense altogether.


    M moved to a shaded area and turned to face Fenna. “Ms. Hudson, is there something else?”


    Taking a deep breath, Fenna approached M, her words resolute. “Chubs Hoffis, don’t think you’re so


    special just because Nate likes you. You’re from Suntend. You’ll return eventually.


    “As for me, I can be Nate’s lifelong friend and colleague. We have a lifetime together, but you and him,


    don’t.”


    Her words were sharp and painfully honest, like a knife piercing M’s chest. M felt her heart dripping


    with blood, aching and torn.


    It was an undeniable truth, one she couldn’t deny.


    With a sense of triumph, Fenna continued, “We can be soulmates. I believe feelings will bloom


    with time. Someday, I’ll have him.”


    After her words, Fenna turned and walked away without looking back.


    Watching Fenna’s departing figure, M realized how deeply Fenna loved Nathan. With such a woman


    by Nathan’s side, M felt utterly insecure and anxious.


    She turned and entered the living room. After ncing around, M realized that Nathan must still be in


    the study since Fenna had just left.


    Without hesitation, she made her way to the study. Suddenly, the door of the study swung open, and


    Nathan emerged.


    Before he could react, M threw herself into his arms, her embrace firm and unwavering. Her figure


    was soft against him, carrying a faint fragrance that stirred something within him.


    Nathan stood frozen, his heart quickening as he dipped his head to catch a glimpse of her

    lovely face.


    Softly, he inquired, “Why are you back here?”


    M, despite the difort lingering in her heart, murmured gently, “Nate, I’m not here to seduce you.


    I simply wanted to see you.”


    Nathan chuckled softly, “Does an innocent woman throw herself into a man’s arms upon meeting?”


    M’s grip tightened, a hint of annoyance in her voice. “Are you saying I’m not innocent?”


    Sensing her unease, Nathan softened his tone, coaxing, “You are. It’s me who’s not. Maybe I have a


    maic pull that draws you in.‘

    M couldn’t resist augh, feeling a weight lift from her shoulders. Slowly, she released him and


    stepped back.


    Nathan’s eyes held warmth, reluctant to let go of her, though he maintained aposed demeanor.


    “So, what’s brought you here today?” he asked.
