"Could you please help me, Sir? This contract is very important to me. I have to meet Mrs. Park. I swear that-"

She raised her hand and began making promises and vows once again. Carolien was so close to kneeling down in front of him. As their eyes met, she was wondering if she had been too casual with him and how she was going to make up for it. However, before she could do anything, she heard an unexpected response.

"Okay."

"Huh?"

She had been so worked up that it was hard for her to calm down just like that. The man said that in a loud and powerful voice and his words made Carolien stunned. "You... believe me?"

His gentle gaze was focused on her body, and a gentle smile appeared on his relaxed lips.

Carolien felt like she was dreaming after that. The man not only helped her find relevant documents but also specially called a top-tier doctor over to help her out. He replied to all of her questions easily, as if they were just having a casual chat. The man and the doctor conversed in Korean while she listened from the side.

The door was shut with a click. The doctor left, and the air gradually became cold and quiet. While looking at the elegant and slender figure on the revolving chair who was wearing a mask, Carolien slowly walked away. However, she was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"I've done all I could do. I hope I was able to be of some use to you."

She vigorously nodded over and over again. Carolien's eyes were fixed on him, and she felt like she was in a trance.

"Thank you. You've done a lot! You've helped me out so much without asking any questions... Aren't you afraid that Guillermo will get mad at you when he finds out? I mean, it's not like you're familiar with me. What if-"

Why had the man put in so much effort to help her? He even took the initiative to call a doctor over to help her inquire about Mrs. Park's personality and impression. All of it benefited her greatly, but she had gotten way more than she ever dreamed of.

"I trust his judgment. Furthermore, I am his... elder, so it's fine," the man stated.

There was a brilliant glow reflected in his deep eyes, and his soft voice flowed like a stream of water. Every time Carolien heard it, she inexplicably felt as if the man in front of her was her ex-lover.

Their eyes met and they stared blankly at each other for some time. Carolien snapped back to reality and quickly stretched out her hand. "Thank you for today! I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time. I won't disturb you anymore, Sir."

She wanted to say "see you again".

Despite that, when the words were at the tip of her tongue, Carolien swallowed them back down. She would not have gone there if had any other choice. She didn't want to meet them again, whether it was Guillermo himself or anyone from the Collins family.

Carolien froze with her hand outstretched, and a touch of sorrow flashed across her face subconsciously.

Meanwhile, the man gazed at her clean and slender palm. Under his gloves, his fist was slightly clenched. In the end, he did not return the gesture. "Sorry, my hand is a little injured. I'm wearing gloves, so it wouldn't be polite to shake your hand like this."

She quickly retracted her hand. Carolien smiled. "It's alright. Goodbye, Sir."

Carolien bowed in appreciation and walked towards the door with his bag in her hand. Just as she opened the door, she heard a slightly anxious voice from behind her.

"Caro- Miss Jones!"

Turning around, Carolien looked at him again. "What is it, Sir?"
