Hunter rubbed his temples. He sullenly puffed out a cloud of white smoke.
Brent patted him on the shoulder. “You need to sleep. You’ve been too tired for the past few years.”
“Fine, this incident ends here. Let’s go back” Hunter put out his cigarette, then left the rooftop dejectedly.
Brent was right. Every part of the incident had solid proof, so nothing could’ve gone wrong. He shouldn’t waste time on these things.
If Madison wanted to investigate it, he wouldn’t stop her from doing whatever she wanted.
After getting home, Madison checked on the trackers again. The one that had gone into the landfill had disappeared from the display. But the others hadn’t changed much from before.
Jack’s phone was still turned off. Madison sighed
She was getting closer to the truth, but the path ahead was covered in fog. No matter how hard she tried to clear things up, nothing changed.
Fortunately, the project was progressing smoothly. Her proposal passed the other company’s screening, and they would have a meeting with her soon.
Donned in a formal outfit, her palms were sweating a little.
Opening the door, she smiled politely. “Hello, I’m Madison Evans from Williams Group.”
A youth in a white suit sat at the table. His features were exquisite, and there was a smile on his face. “We meet again, Madison.”
Madison was stunned. “Colin.”
She finally realized what this meant. “So you’re Mr. Moriarty, the general manager of Peak Group?”
“Yes. I just took over the business from my father.” Colin shrugged helplessly. “In truth, I wanted to be a doctor.”
The team members who contacted Peak Group said that they were difficult to handle. Teams A and B had tried taking on this project before, but they couldn’t get it done.
Only Team C had nothing to lose, so they persisted.
The moment Madison saw Colin, she asked the burning question, “Mr. Moriarty, did you agree to this partnership because of the proposal? Or was it because of… me?”
Colin politely pulled out a chair for her. Then, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes. The gentle smile remained on his face as he said, “Both.”
Sitting down opposite Madison, he began to explain, “At first, I found the proposal quite novel. Then, when I realized that it was you, I knew I had to approve it. You saved my life, after all.”
“You’re not scared of cats now, are you?” Madison gave a rare smile.
“Nope. Snowball and I get along very well.”
The business talk was much more relaxed and easier than expected. After excusing herself, Madison went to pay the bill, but she was told that the bill was already paid.
With a takeout container in hand, Colin smiled. “You still owe me a meal. This one doesn’t count.”
“Sure. Let’s have another meal sometime.”
Colin placed the takeout container in her hands. “You used to love this dish. I wonder if you still like it now?”
It was made by a famous pastry chef. At a glance, Madison could see the name “Palmer Snack House” printed on the container.
“It’s been so many years, but the shop is still in business.” She was amazed. She hadn’t been to the shop in almost two years.
“Yeah. I remembered it when I was passing by today. I didn’t expect it to still be there.”
A warm hand covered hers, and the youth’s voice was clear as he said, “Madison, I know a lot has happened to the Evanss.
“No matter how cold this world is, you have to retain your warmth. Even if you can’t make others feel warm, you have to at least keep out the cold.”
With that, Colin withdrew his hand. He didn’t do anything out of bounds. His expression was gentle as he asked, “I’d like to visit Mr. Evans. May I?”
“Sure.”
Madison waved the document they had just signed. “But I have to go back to the company first. Do you have time after work?”
“If it’s to keep you company, Madison, I always have time.”
When @livia returned with the contract, everyone in Team C was stunned.
They had spent a long time on this project, but Peak Group never agreed to it. They never thought that Madison would get the partnership as soon as she joined.
Norma said in an exaggerating fashion, “You’re amazing, Ms. Evans. I was wondering why Mr. Williams would let you handle the project, but now I know, You’re very talented!
“Our team leader has been trying to get it done, but it never went through. You did it just like that!”
Madison had never liked opportunistic people like Norma. Still, she could make use of Norma. Hence, Madison put in some effort to mend their broken relationship.
When they were in the pantry, Madison asked Norma a question, “What’s Jackson like?”
At the mention of Jackson, Norma rolled her eyes. “One word-pervert.”
“He’s a pervert?”
“Yeah. He’d even give a female fly a second look, not to mention women.”
Madison felt even more confused. Could someone like him be the mastermind?
“Did he mess with you, Ms. Evans?” Norma asked, studying Madison’s expression.
“No, I was just curious.”
Norma thought quickly, then said, “Thanks to you, we got another partnership in the bag. This means that we’ve completed the sales mission. He’ll be here soon.”
As she spoke, Norma pointed at a man in a suit and tie, who was standing at a corner. “Look, there he is.”
Madison looked in the direction Norma was pointing. Jackson seemed to be around 35 years old. He had a common stature, and his eyes had a cunning shine to them.
When their gazes met, Jackson studied Madison from head to toe.
“Oh, you’re that newcomer, aren’t you? The one who bagged a huge project as soon as she joined. You’re something.” Jackson reached out to pat Madison on the shoulder.
He was boldly trying to take advantage of her. Before he touched her shoulder, Madison subtly dodged him. She said, calmly yet politely, “You’re too kind, Mr. Yancey.”
She met Jackson’s gaze, trying to figure something out from the look in his eyes.
He didn’t even hide his intentions. It was obvious that he wanted to harass her.
“You have a bright future ahead of you, Madison!”
Jackson chatted a little before leaving. Before he left, he even tried to ask Madison out for dinner after work.
Jackson had just left when Norma spoke up. “I told you, he’s a pervert. You should stay away from him, Ms. Evans.”
“Yeah.”
Looking at Jackson, Madison grew suspicious. She had seen the photos he sent in Sophia’s chat history. If not, she would’ve thought that she was overthinking it.
This man was good at pretending.
“Help me with something, Norma.”
Hearing Madison asking something of her, Norma immediately agreed. “What is it, Ms. Evans?”
Madison whispered in Norma’s ear. Without another thought, Norma replied, “Leave this to me. I swear that by tomorrow morning, I’ll have all the information on Jackson.
“I won’t miss any details.”
Madison reminded her, “Remember, don’t let anyone else know about this.”
Norma thought that there were some personal grudges between them. She hastily gestured, zipping her mouth. “Don’t worry, Ms. Evans. My lips are sealed.”
Not long after Madison settled the project, Hunter heard news of it.
He leaned against his chair, supporting his head with a hand as he spoke mockingly.
“I just wanted to tame her a little with this tough job, but I never thought that she would get it done in two days. Are the others too useless, or is she simply too talented?”
Brent poured out a cup of tea for him. “Of course, Mrs. Williams is amazing. But luck is in play as well. You’ve also met the newly appointed general manager of Peak Group before.”
“Who is it?”
“The puppy on the cruise.”
Hunter might not remember much of other things, but the mention of this incident sparked his memory.
He remembered what that person almost did to Madison that night. If that huge incident hadn’t happened, Hunter wouldn’t have let him off the hook
Hunter rubbed his temples. “His last name is Moriarty, isn’t it?”
“Colin Moriarty, yes.”
