A Rose 461
As soon as Wilson saw Yvette, all his hostility faded, and a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He instinctively raised his hand, wanting to pull her into his embrace.
But just before he could reach Yvette, Adam suddenly rushed out, getting to her first and wrapping his arms around her.
“Yvie, I’m here to take you home.”
Adam ignored Wilson’s darkened expression and gently patted Yvette on the head.
“Jacob has a banquet planned tonight, so I’m here to pick you up. Let’s go home!”
Seeing Adam try to take Yvette away, Wilson’s eyes narrowed instantly, and he immediately called out,” Adam.”
Even though Adam felt annoyed at having lost to Wilson in the match, he greeted Wilson albeit reluctantly. “Oh, Wilson, you’re here too! I didn’t see you just now.”
Could this sound any more insincere? How could he possibly have missed Wilson given his large build?”
Standing nearby, Samuel silently chuckled to himself, almost bursting out laughing.
Wilson reached out and pulled Yvette to his side. He then intertwined their fingers to assert his dominance.
“Adam, I’ll take Yvie home. You can go about your own business.”
Seeing Adam’s unwilling expression, Wilson casually added, “Don’t forget what you promised before.” As long as Wilson won the competition, Adam wouldn’t interfere with him and Yvette anymore. Adam gritted his teeth hard, wishing he could grind them into dust. How could he have lost that day?
Meanwhile, at the Murray Corporation building, Jack greeted Nancy respectfully upon seeing her arrival.‘ Ms. Smith.”
“Is Jacob busy right now? I need to talk to him.” Nancy anxiously bit her lip. She knew Jacob was attending a business banquet today and needed to bring a date. She had come to find him hoping to be that person.

Since the day he had sent her home when she was drunk, she felt that Jacob had been distancing himself from her.
Nancy didn’t know what she had done while drunk, but after much thought, she decided to seize this opportunity and confess her feelings.
Jack replied, “He is available, Ms. Smith. Mr. Murray’s meeting has just ended and he’s in the office right now.”
Hearing this, Nancy’s eyes lit up. “I’ll go see him!”
Jack wasted no time and quickly led her up, well aware that Jacob had always been close to Nancy.
Nancy tightly clenched her fists at her sides, trying her best to calm her nerves. But as she reached the office door, she saw a woman inside Jacob’s office.
Jacob had his hand on her shoulder, and from a distance, they looked quite intimate.

Nancy stiffened instantly, all her courage fading away. A sharp pain gripped her heart. Fearing she would lose her composure, Nancy turned around and left, holding back her sadness.
Inside the office, Jacob’s face was cold, and his tone carried a strong warning.
“Stop playing these little tricks with me.”
“Jacob.” The woman felt embarrassed and lowered her head in shame as Jacob ruthlessly exposed her
intentions.
She had just pretended to trip, hoping to fall into his arms, but she hadn’t expected Jacob to react so quickly, evading her and only lending a hand. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
