Outside the door stood Emma.

She was still dressed in the same outfit from earlier. A white shirt paired with a form–fitting white skirt. The faint scent of alcohol on Gabriel made her thoughts drift. Gabriel wore black long–sleeve pajamas with a robe over them, his entire figure concealed. Emma held a file in her hand and spoke respectfully, “Mr. Campbell, this is an urgent document that just came in, it requires your signature.”

He didn’t take it.

Gabriel would never sign anything after drinking.

He’d rather forgo the project than make a decision while intoxicated.

Ezra knew this, but Emma didn’t.

She had intentionally come at this time, her outfit a little more figure–hugging than usual, highlighting her mature, well–shaped body.

But Gabriel’s eyes were cold, his voice harsh with barely concealed anger.

“Ms. Morris, if you can’t manage your tasks during work hours, go to HR and get a different job.”

Gabriel said this with the authority of a boss, with no room for niceties.

Emma’s face turned pale.

She quickly apologized, “Sorry, Mr. Campbell. I won’t do it again.”

She retracted the file and bent her waist in a sincere apology.“I’ll leave now, I didn’t mean disturb

your rest.”

She hurried out but noticed that Gabriel’s door was still open as she got into the elevator. It didn’t take much to figure out. He was probably watching her from across the hall

Emma’s face turned ugly, filled with rage.“Hazel, you ruined my life. Why do you get to enjoy the good things?” she thought to herself.
