At sunset.

Jasper Sinclair’s figure appeared once again at VK, as he took the vertical elevator straight to the thirty-fourth floor.

"Director Sinclair."

Yvonne Winslow was montarily taken aback when she saw Jasper Sinclair, only greeting him after an awkward pause.

Initially, Jasper Sinclair didn’t notice anything amiss, but once he stepped into Nora Northwood’s office, he understood what that montary shock ant.

The office was empty; there was no sign of Nora Northwood at all.

He turned back to the secretary’s area and asked Yvonne Winslow, "Has Nora already left work?"

"Director Nora left earlier today. If you have anything important, you can contact her by phone."

Yvonne’s response was quite formal.

"Do you know where she went?"

"Sorry, I’m not aware of Director Nora’s personal schedule."

This answer was expected by Jasper Sinclair, and even if Yvonne Winslow did know, she might not necessarily tell him.

He rubbed his temples, seemingly agitated, and said, "Call her."

"Hmm?"

Yvonne Winslow didn’t react imdiately — was he asking her to make the call?

These days, with her nstrual cycle, she often felt like her actions couldn’t keep up with the speed of her thoughts.

Her hesitation was obvious; anyone could see that the two big bosses’ relationship was experiencing tension, and no one wanted to be the one sticking their neck out.

Who wants to get shot for sticking their neck out?

"Secretary Winslow, do I need to repeat myself a second ti?"

Yvonne Winslow was only able to stay beside Nora Northwood because Jasper Sinclair was backing her.

She understood Jasper Sinclair’s nature; he’s soone who ans what he says.

So, under "coercion and inducent," Yvonne Winslow grudgingly made the call.

Jasper Sinclair saw her put the receiver to her ear and "helpfully" reminded her, "Put it on speaker."

Yvonne Winslow forced a smile and, in front of him, switched to speaker mode. Her smile was worse than crying.

She complained inwardly: Why do couple argunts have to involve her?

The call was answered quickly, and Nora Northwood’s clear voice ca through from the other end, "Yvonne, what’s up?"

This tone was one of the rare gentle ones that Jasper Sinclair rembered.

"Director Sinclair is looking for you."

Yvonne took a deep breath before saying those words.

Once the words were out, Nora Northwood quickly deduced it must have been Jasper Sinclair’s idea.

After a brief silence, Nora Northwood patiently said, "Give him the phone."

Subsequently, Yvonne Winslow made a "hand over the phone" gesture, and Jasper Sinclair took it from her and turned off the speaker.

"Where are you?"

"Out eting a friend. If you need anything, you can ssage on WeChat."

"So I can’t call you if it isn’t urgent?" Jasper Sinclair lazily retorted.

Yvonne Winslow stood by, her gaze wandering around, unsure where to place her hands and feet.

Nora Northwood didn’t want to argue on the phone pointlessly; as she was about to hang up, she heard Jasper Sinclair’s voice once more, "Send the address, I’ll pick you up after."

"My friend will give a ride, no need for you to go out of your way."

At this, Jasper Sinclair’s eyes narrowed.

What kind of close friend would offer to drive her ho?

He insisted on asking Nora Northwood for the address, but she didn’t oblige and abruptly hung up the phone.

When Jasper Sinclair returned the phone to Yvonne Winslow, his face had darkened.

He had a stubborn breath held in his chest, wanting to ask but unable to swallow his pride, making things imdiately awkward.

"Uh... Director Sinclair, if you don’t have any other business, should I and my colleagues leave work now?"
