Audrey stared at Ken for a few seconds before picking up her laptop. “Let's discuss the business arrangement between us. I'll draft the employment contract, but there are a few things that need to be clarified based on our conversation last night.”The awkwardness from earlier disappeared with those words. Ken cleared his throat lightly in response and sat up straighter.Audrey began opening several blank documents on her laptop. Her fingers moved calmly across the keyboard while Ken watched her from across the table.“First,” Audrey said, “I'm not your assistant. I'll be your wealth advisor.”Ken repeated the term in his head several times. It sounded much more expensive than simply being an assistant.Audrey continued typing before explaining, “I'll help you manage and evaluate your assets, provide advice on financial and business decisions, help oversee your investments, and make sure matters related to your wealth aren't handled carelessly.”Ken nodded slowly and continued listen

Elsewhere, the atmosphere was far from peaceful.A vase crashed onto the floor of one of Bright Horizon's offices with a loud bang.The broken pieces scattered in every direction, while a man standing several meters in front of Miles Anderson's desk lowered his head even further.His face was filled with anger as he glared at the man in front of him.“How could you lose him?”The man swallowed hard.“You already had him and only needed to execute him. And now you're coming to me and telling me that you lost an ordinary delivery guy?”“I'm sorry, Mr. Miles.”“Sorry?” Miles's voice rose. “You're absolutely useless. You even fell for a little trick like that!”His hand slammed against the desk.“He's just a courier. How could someone like that fool you?”The man didn't dare answer. He knew Miles's anger wasn't something that could be interrupted with any excuse, including one that was actually true. After all, the delivery guy's escape the previous night had also been caused by Miles's o

Ken didn't immediately rush in. He stared at the commercial area in front of him while remaining seated on the motorcycle, then slowly shifted his gaze toward the vehicle Adrian had given him.If the people chasing him already knew about the motorcycle, entering while riding the same vehicle would be no different from handing himself over to them.“If I go in with this, they might not even need to look for me. They’ll find me right away.”Ken let out a sigh. He finally decided not to take the risk.A few dozen meters from the entrance to the commercial area, Ken found a relatively safe place to park the motorcycle by the roadside. After making sure the vehicle was properly locked, he walked a few steps away before finally crouching near the edge of the sidewalk.Ken opened Route Optimized, and within seconds, a map of the area appeared in the corner of his vision.He began looking for an alternative route. If all the main roads were already being watched, there should still be another

The vehicle finally passed through the entrance. Ken only let out a sigh of relief after they had gotten far enough away from the Bright Horizon men.No one had recognized him, which meant his plan had worked.Who would’ve thought this ridiculous thing would actually be useful?Ken almost smiled. However, that happiness did not last long because the vehicle suddenly hit a bump in the road.“Whoa!”Ken’s body was lifted slightly, and the rabbit head on top of him immediately slammed into the roof of the vehicle.“Ow!”The man in the front immediately laughed, but quickly tried to hide it and asked, “Are you okay?”Ken held the mascot head with both hands.“I think the rabbit just died.”Both men in the front burst out laughing again while Ken could only sigh.A few minutes later, the vehicle finally stopped in a fairly crowded area inside the commercial district.One of the men got out and began setting up the promotional decorations.Ken looked around from the back of the truck. He ha

The staff member escorting Ken did not head directly to the main elevator. Instead, he led him through a corridor on the side of the lounge before stopping in front of an elevator with dark-colored doors and an access panel that was different from the regular elevators.Ken observed the elevator for a few seconds before finally asking, “Why don’t we just use the regular elevator?”The staff member continued walking without much change in his expression and answered, “The room you’re going to is on the private floor, sir.”Ken raised an eyebrow.Private floor?He actually wanted to ask what the difference was between a private floor and a regular floor. Even the booking code Adrian had given him earlier seemed far too special for simply reserving a meeting room.However, seeing how cold and formal the man escorting him had been all this time, Ken eventually decided not to ask.Whatever. I’ll ask later.They stopped in front of the elevator, and the man placed an access card against the
