ricka looked down. “I told you long ago, Kieran and I are history. You said it yourself–he and his wife just celebrated five years.

How could I still want him? Or do you really see me as someone who’d wreck a marriage?”

Shiyao immediately said: “Of course not, I, I… sorry, I misunderstood you, rieka, I was wrong.”

rieka was silent for a few moments: “Let’s go back to thepany first. I still have to arrange the schedule, I need to squeeze out time for the Argent family.”

Shiyao looked at her, wanting to say something but hesitating.

rieka took out her phone and called a taxi. While waiting for the car, she saw the messages Jaylene had sent her when they were still at the restaurant.

Jaylene: [“!“]

Shiyao ran away!]

Jaylene: [“He doesn’t know where he went, be careful.“]

Jaylene: [“I’ve already taught Nie Guanyu a lesson.“]

ricka tapped lightly and replied: [“It’s okay, I’ve already caught him.“]

Shiyao’s head, which had been peeking out, slowly pulled back, and he followed behind ricka like a timid wife.

Back at thepany, ricka immediately shoved Shiyao into the tech department to deal with the problem, and dragged Jaylene into the office.

“So, you’re going back to the Argent family?”

Jaylene asked.

rieka nodded: “Yes, I’ve already had my assistant set aside three days. We leave the day after tomorrow.”

Jaylene’s feelings were quiteplicated right now: “Do you want me to go with you?

That ce, the Argent family, is really weird. Every time you go, nothing goodes of it.”

rieka chuckled lightly: “I’m going on a business trip. As the head of Jiang Corporation, you should stay at thepany. Thepany’s matters need your handling, we can’t do without you.”

Jaylene’s eyes darkened: “Yes, those people have been active again recently. We really can’t leave them unwatched.”

rieka looked calm: “Found evidence of their meddling?”

Jaylene smiled frankly: “Of course, when I step in, there’s no spy I can’t catch, right?”

ricka said with a smile: “Yes, you’re amazing.”

“But you should be careful too.”

Jaylene suddenly said

rieka raised her eyes: “What’s wrong?”

Jaylene’s expression turned colder: “I found out that someone in the tech department has some connection with the Argent family.”

The curve of ricka’s lips fell: “The Argent family? How is there still Argent family business?”

Jaylene added: “But the specifics aren’t clear yet. I’m still looking for evidence, can’t alert the enemy. I just want to remind you to be extra careful when you go there. Rose has been doing great these years, and with Kieran protecting her, and she’s narrow–minded, don’t let her trip you up.”

rieka nodded: “I understand.”

Jaylene suddenly clicked her tongue: “I’m still a bit worried. Why don’t you take someone with you?”

rieka vaguely guessed who Jaylene meant: “…Who?”

“Who else but Shiyao?”

rieka Huston t–out refused.

This was probably Shi Yao’s first encounter with Kieran Argent, yet right off the bat, Shi Yao acted like he’d lost his mind–all passive- aggressive, seething over something Kieran had done.

If Shi Yao actually went, he’d probably tear the roof off the Argent family estate.

Jaylene Irwin frowned. “Why not bring him? Isn’t he working for you this whole month anyway?

Just take him along. He can help if anythinges up.”

rieka clicked her tongue. “You have no idea. Shi Yao goespletely nuts around Kieran, spouting nonsense. I can’t make heads

or tails of it.”

“What nonsense?”

A sly, gossipy gleam sparked in Jaylene’s eyes as she pondered.
