Mona touched her stomach and felt much more energetic. Maxwell put some vegetables into her bowl and said, "Have some vegetables." Then he scooped a bowl of soup for her, saying, "Don't choke."

Mona nodded and said, "You should eat too," as she picked up her fork to offer him a piece of chicken.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Mona felt full. She took a sip of the soup Maxwell had scooped for her and finished her lunch.

"Are you full?" Maxwell asked when he saw her put down her bowl and cutlery.

Mona nodded, thinking about how he had been serving her food and had not eaten much himself. She quickly picked up some food for him and said, "Eat more. You've lost weight."

By the time they finished eating, it was already late. Mona saw the woman from the next room walking towards the door as they were leaving. She still felt a sense of familiarity and thought she might have seen her as a celebrity somewhere, so she did not pay much attention.

Having just returned to the country, Mona did not plan to go to the company today. After lunch, she went straight home to pack her things. Maxwell reluctantly left her house and headed toward Clem Group to familiarize himself with the business. It was unclear whether it was Maxwell's innate aura or the fact that everyone knew his management style in Nathontown, but as soon as he arrived at the company, everyone respected him. Nico, who had received a gift from Jeremy, showed him respect. Maxwell remained calm, refraining from unnecessary conversation and directly addressing work matters.

By five o'clock, he was ready to leave for the day. As he stepped outside, his secretary quietly said, "Mr. Carter, the company's senior management is hosting a small dinner tonight to welcome you. Would you like to stop by?" "When do we start?" Maxwell asked.

He still wanted to go home early to have dinner with Mona, but it would be unreasonable for him not to attend this dinner.

"Mr. Rivas has already reserved a private room. We can start anytime," the secretary informed him.

"Then let's

now." The sooner he went, the sooner it would end. He was still thinking about his wife who was home.

On the way there, Maxwell sent Mona a message, informing her that the higher-ups had invited him to dinner and telling her not to wait for him and to eat without him. After Mona packed her luggage, Ava and Artemis invited her out Artemis had a day off today so that they could enjoy a good gathering.
