"You already gave them instructions. How could they not be?" Ophelia thought, "They have to be nice because of Kenneth. didn't they?

Kenneth said, "I only spoke to Mr. Theo"

Ophelia paused mid-sip of her smoothie. "Wait, so you're saying Mrs. Carnegie and the others don't know about us?"

"Maybe, but it's possible Mr. Theo mentioned it Kenneth's eyes were fixed on Ophelia like he couldn't get enough.

Ophelia chewed on the fruits, her lips pouting slightly, cheeks puffing up like a little squirrel.

Deep down. Ophelia was perfectly aware of how people treated her. After all, she had learned the hard way in her last life. This time, Ophelia wasn't about to open her heart so easily. If even her own family, bound by blood, had used and discarded her, what could she expect from these people, tied only by convenience and profit?

It was best not to take them too seriously. Just as Ophelia swallowed the fruit, Kenneth kissed her.

Ophelia thought Kenneth would stop quickly, considering they were in the office. But no-he only grew bolder, leaving her breathless, She said, "Kenneth, this is the office.

Ophelia smiled, though her eyes were sharp as ice, "Mr. Patrick, your mouth is still as foul as ever. Seems like that injection you got at the hospital was a waste" Patrick's eyes narrowed. He was puzzled. Meeting Ophelia's inns ent, doe-like gaze, a realization hit him-she was the nurse from the hospital. "Damn it, it's you?" With one leg left, your mouth is still filthy. You're just asking for trouble" Ophelia's gaze fell on the gun under the desk.
