Leah hurriedly swallowed her breakfast and made her way to the CEO’s office with a heavy heart. She was prepared to be reprimanded if she was responsible for the fight between Molly and Han.

After a brief moment, Han’s deep cold voice sounded, “Come in.”

When Leah entered the room, she found Han seated at his desk. He fastened his stare at her with a frigid expression. Her heart skipped a beat as she recalled the episode at the hospital.
