His subordinates expressed their gratitude with words of appreciation.

Mark led Peter into the office, where young engineers and civil servants had gathered, deeply engrossed in their discussions.

“I heard that Mr. Evans's girlfriend is a model."

“Are you serious? Would Mr. Evans really go for a model?"

"You guys don't get it! I heard that Mr. Evans’ girlfriend comes from a prominent family in Duefron, and her foray into the entertainment industry is just for fun. Mr. Evans, at his age, has only just decided to start his family. His girlfriend must be the most beautiful and accomplished woman. Otherwise, do you think he'd settle down now?"

The room fell silent suddenly upon catching a woman's appearance.

Someone greeted timidly, “Good morning, Mrs. Wilson!"

It was Cathy, Mark's first love. Everyone knew that Mark held a special place in her heart.

They were worried that Cathy might overhear their discussion about Mark's sweet girlfriend.

Yet, Cathy's injured hand served as a stark reminder of the consequence of her wrongdoings. She should behave herself.

Cathy did hear them, but she chose to ignore it, greeting them with a smile.

“Why are you all here? Mr. Evans will scold you if he catches you slack off."

She still seized every moment to mention Mark in her interactions with the employees, attempting to maintain her status as the office hostess.

As others dispersed, the smile on Cathy's face vanished instantly.

She raised her right hand, though it was challenging with her prosthetic Limb.

Mark hadn't dismissed her, possibly due to their prior relationship, allowing her to remain as a civil servant. However, she could no longer access confidential documents and had lost her significance.

Cathy stood there for a moment, her brows furrowed.

She entered the elevator slowly and reached Mark's office.

Mark was preparing for a meeting.

Upon seeing her, he asked nonchalantly, "Mrs. Wilson, what brings you here?"
