Whilly covered his forehead while muttering a few curses under his breath.
Brent looked at everyone. “Focus on your job.”
“Yes, Brent.” Everyone was eager for the gossip, but no one dared to start the discussion first.
Meanwhile, Madison was looking at Hunter, who was working.
It was such an irony that she only visited him at work after the divorce.
It seemed like he was so preoccupied with work that he didn’t acknowledge her arrival.
She placed the lunch boxes on the table neatly.
The stars twinkled in the somber sky, and the city was illuminated.
Hunter appeared stoic under the lights. He didn’t spare Madison a single glance as of now.
Pin–drop silence filled the office.
She didn’t have an inkling to his thoughts.
Judging from how he didn’t hit her despite her scoldings this morning, she was confident that he wouldn’t be physical here.
Mustering the courage in her, she approached him. The closer the distance was, the more intense she could feel his presence.
Even though he hadn’t uttered a word, his presence filled the air.
She walked up behind him, wanting to talk nicely with him.
However, the moment she saw the back of his head, her hand instinctively grabbed the ashtray.
No one knew Hunter’s favorites better than Madison. Thus, it should be easy to please him.
The only tricky part was whether he would give her the chance.
Back then, she had prepared dinner for him a few times as well.
Each time, she waited until midnight. Yet, there was no sign of his return.
He would give her the cold shoulder without batting an eye. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t meet her.
Madison was testing the waters when she called Hunter. Apparently, he wasn’t as cruel as he was before.
After making dinner, she went to Williams Group by car.
She was deeply absorbed in her thoughts while hugging the lunch boxes.
The mastermind knew Hunter and Madison’s situation like the back of his hand.
Hence, it was highly possible that he was an acquaintance of Hunter’s.
But who could it be?
Kelvin and Brent clearly could not be the mastermind. Madam Burgess was out of the question because she wouldn’t be able t keep things to herself.
Could it be one of the workers in the Williams Group?
Madison didn’t visit him at work before they divorced. At that time, she assumed he was protecting her privacy.
Now, it seemed like a joke to her.
The public was aware of Hunter and Andrea’s engagement. It was all over the news.
Yet, there wasn’t a huge change to Madison’s identity.
Be it the past or present, she was kept in the dark like a dirty secret.
She took the presidential elevator to go to the highest floor of the building. Every employee had clocked out at this hour.
Only Hunter and his secretaries were working overtime.
Her feet halted by the door.
There were six secretaries working for him. She could recognize the four men and two women.
The moment she entered the office, she met eyes with a lady sitting in a corner.
The lady adjusted her spectacles. Madison couldn’t see her eyes due to the reflection of the glass.
“Mrs. Williams, Mr. Williams’s office is right ahead.” Brent showed Madison the way.
The secretaries were buried in their works. She couldn’t observe much from that brief glimpse.
In order not to alarm them, she quickly left the area.
Brent knocked on the door, and an icy voice came from the inside. “Come in ”
He opened the door for Madison before taking his leave.
The curious secretaries came up to him “Brent, who’s that woman?”
Hunter was known for his aloof attitude toward women. Other than for collaboration purposes, no women had ever shown up at this hour.
Brent smacked Whilly Dante’s forehead. The latter was the liveliest among the secretaries.
“You talk too much. Have you finished your work yet?” Brent said.
Whilly covered his forehead while muttering a few curses under his breath.
Brent looked at everyone. “Focus on your job.”
“Yes, Brent.” Everyone was eager for the gossip, but no one dared to start the discussion first.

Mustering the courage in her, she approached him. The closer the distance was, the more intense she could feel his presence.
Even though he hadn’t uttered a word, his presence filled the air.
She walked up behind him, wanting to talk nicely with him.
However, the moment she saw the back of his head, her hand instinctively grabbed the ashtray.
The ashtray was heavy. It was difficult for Madison to hold it with one hand.
She wondered if the blood would splatter on her face if she flung it at Hunter.
Her unconscious thoughts scared even herself, too.
At that moment, Hunter looked back at her. They met each other’s eyes.
Before he could say anything, she asked, “Why did you smoke so much?”
When he noticed the ashtray in her hand, the first thing that came to his mind was that Madison was going to murder him with it.
But her question nipped his suspicion.
Hunter was wearing an indifferent expression. “Does that have anything to do with you?”
His voice was full of disdain. She set the ashtray down. Next time, she’ll use something sharp to finish him off.
Suppressing her displeasure, Madison tugged at the hem of his sleeve. “I… crossed the line this morning. I’m sorry.”
Hunter stared at her face, which appeared paler under the light. She came without makeup.
Although she was pretty, she didn’t look lively.
It still softened a part of his heart all the same.
Hunter could never handle it when Madison acted cute while tugging his shirt.
Whenever she acted that way, he could even pluck a star from the sky if she wanted him to.
“Where’s dinner?” He questioned, finally relaxing the mood.
“Here.” She gladly went along with it and pushed the meal box in front of him.
There was fried chicken, lasagna, salad, and fruit. The cherry tomatoes in the salad were arranged into a heart shape.
It was simple, yet it catered to his liking.
Hunter, who hadn’t been able to have the food she made, stared at the heart–shaped salad for a while.
Memories of her first cooking experience crossed his mind. She was clumsy but serious about preparing him a lunch box.
That day, Madison ended up with a few blisters on her hands.
Yet, she presented the nicely plated dish to him with a grin. “Here. I made it. Even if it’s not tasty, you gotta finish it.”
At that time, there was always a smile plastered on her face.
Unlike before, she lost self–confidence whenever she stood next to him. Her actions were careful and timid.
Noticing Hunter’s silence, Madison prompted gingerly. “These lunch boxes are insulated. The food isn’t cold. Give them a try.”
She handed him the cutleries.
The familiar taste melted in his mouth, walking him down memory lane.
“I–Is it delicious?” she asked nervously.
