Kaclin: [Was that from Ms. Finley to Stella?]
Albert: [Yeah.]
Kaclin was stunned.
Kaelin: [So what exactly did you do in all this?]
Albert didn’t reply.
‘What role did I even play in all this?’ Albert wondered.
‘I was just going along with whatever Elnora wanted,’ he thought.
Seeing Albert stay silent, Kaelin understood right away.

‘Looks like Stella still hasn’t realized Elnora was giving her a warning. That’s why people are saying Albert had a falling out with Elnora over her, and that’s how she ended up with the magazine shoot, Kaelin thought.
Kaelin: [Albert, you better watch your back. I can totally see Ms. Finley having you on a leash, playing you like it’s nothing.]
Albert: [Get lost.]
As soon as work was over, Elnora walked out of her office.
Albert stepped out of his office at the same moment.
Their eyes met. Elnora gave him a small nod in greeting before making her way to the elevator.
Albert arched an eyebrow, strolled over, and stopped next to her, waiting for the elevator together.
The elevator doors slid open, and Elnora stepped in first.
Albert followed right behind her.
It was just the two of them in the elevator, and the silence was almost suffocating.
Seeing that Elnora had no intention of saying anything, Albert spoke up to break the silence.
“So, Ms. Finley, how’s your first day at work going?” Albert asked.
Elnora replied, “Pretty good. Everything feels pretty natural.”
Albert raised an eyebrow. “Glad to hear it. If you need anything, you can always ask me.”
Elnora said, “No problems at the moment.”

“And since Stella’s in a wheelchair, it’s not exactly easy for her to grab a cab. Could we trouble you, Mr. Campbell…” she added.
Albert kept his cool, giving Elnora a sidelong look as he said in a calm voice, “Maybe you should ask my wife instead.”
Mya’s expression shifted, caught between awkwardness and hesitation.
She definitely didn’t have the guts to ask Elnora directly.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Elnora replied calmly, “I don’t really like sharing rides.”
Stella quickly said, “It’s okay, we’ll just take a cab.”
Elnora glanced at her, her tone still calm and composed.
“I’ve already called my driver to pick me up,” she said.
As she spoke, she shot Albert a sidelong glance.
“Sorry, Mr. Campbell, that’s not my call,” she said coolly.
With that, she strode away from the group, her posture aloof and unapproachable, exuding an intimidating presence that kept everyone at a distance.
Albert raised an eyebrow, watching her walk away.
Stella pressed her lips together, a flicker of embarrassment in her eyes.
“Albert, is it my fault you and Ms. Finley argued?” Stella asked softly, her voice full of guilt.
“I’m sorry, I…” she added.
Albert shot back, “If you’re really sorry, try using your brain before you do anything stupid.”
He was ruthless, venting all the frustration Elnora had dumped on him straight onto Stella.
Stella’s checks turned red. She started to say something, but ended up just bowing her head, looking pitiful
and hurt.
Seeing that, Mya hurried to shoulder the blame herself.
“Mr. Campbell, I acted on my own…” she said, trying to explain.
Albert cut her off bluntly. “Do I look like your driver?”
Mya just took a deep breath and kept her mouth shut.
‘Why does it feel like ever since Albert married Ms. Finley, his vibe has started to match hers? He’s got that

same intimidating aura now,’ Mya thought to herself.
Albert tore his gaze away from the two of them and walked off.
The Campbell family’s driver was already waiting at the entrance.

As Elnora stepped out of the Starlight Building, the driver immediately opened the back door for her.
She bent down and got into the car.
The driver was about to close the door.
But just as the door was about to shut, Albert reached out, stopped it, and slipped inside.
His impossibly handsome face leaned in close. Elnora gave him a sidelong look, her brows slightly furrowed.
Albert wore a playful smile.
“Ms. Finley, could you move over a bit?” Albert said with a playful grin.
Elnora replied coolly, “Aren’t you supposed to be driving?”
Still, she shifted to the far side of the seat as she spoke.
Albert climbed in and took his seat.
“Why drive myself when I can just sit back and enjoy the ride? Ms. Finley, you really know how to live. I’ll just follow your lead and enjoy the comfort too,” Albert said with a teasing grin.
Elnora turned to look out the window, her gaze drifting past Albert toward Stella, her tone cool and indifferent.
“Not going to see her off?” she asked.
Albert raised an eyebrow, “You seriously want to invite her in the car?”
Elnora looked him straight in the eye. “Yeah, why not? She can sit in the middle.”
Albert’s face instantly darkened.
“Has anyone ever told you, Ms. Finley, that joking really isn’t your thing?” Albert said, his tone sharp.
Elnora shook her head.
“No,” she replied coolly.
Albert was left speechless.
Elnora kept quiet for most of the ride back..
Albert sat quietly, absorbed in his phone, his fingers moving fast as he messaged someone that nobody could

Elnora stared out the window, her gaze indifferent and unreadable.

After replying to a message in his group chat with the guys, Albert glanced up and saw Elnora quietly gazing out the window.
She still wore her usual frosty look.
But her vibe was a little off today. Something about her just wasn’t quite the same.
Albert put his phone away and decided to break the silence.
“So, Ms. Finley, what do you think of Starlight?” he asked.
Elnora nodded. “It’s great.”
“Both the way it operates and its internal policies are really impressive,” she added.
Albert smiled and asked, “So, Ms. Finley, is there anything you think we could do better?”
Elnora didn’t answer right away.
She paused for a moment, then replied in a calm tone, “No.”
