It was ten past six. The employees at Segarine Group typically finished work at six, so there was a ten-minute window for them to leave.

Exiting the office, the duo found a deserted secretary's office. With everyone gone, a profound silence enveloped the building.

Bennett guided her into the elevator, swiped the card, and caressed her hand.

Claudia looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Your hands are so soft."

Embarrassed, Claudia's immediate reaction was to withdraw her hand.

But Bennett didn't let her.

Soon, the elevator descended to the basement floor.

Once the doors glided open, they stepped out of the lift, hand in hand. As they walked to the car, Bennett removed his key fob and clicked to unlock the doors.

When they reached the car, they suddenly heard a man's voice call out, "Mr. Dreskin?"

The person in question was Baylor, who had received a_ recent reprimand from Bennett.

Finding himself in an awkward situation, Baylor felt obligated to greet Bennett, even though he didn't want to. However, both of their cars were parked next to each other.

Bennett had already made his way to the side of the car. If Baylor intended to reach his vehicle, he would undoubtedly spot Bennett.

With no time to retreat, Baylor had no option but to extend a greeting to Bennett.

Bennett responded with a disinterested nod and motioned for Claudia to proceed into the car.

After Claudia entered the car, Baylor could only discern her silhouette, her face remaining obscured.

His curiosity was aroused, yet information about Bennett always seemed elusive. The looming deadline that Bennett set weighed on his mind, pushing aside idle thoughts of gossip. He stood rigidly, anticipating Bennett's car to pass by.

Unexpectedly, he was about to stumble upon a significant revelation.

As the car glided by, the woman in the front passenger seat became visible to him.

Her beauty was striking.

Could she be Bennett's wife?

Baylor was not one to indulge in rumors, yet his decade-long tenure at Segarine Group had given him insights. He remembered Bennett's internship days and noticed that for nearly ten years, no woman had been seen in Bennett's close circle.

The news of Bennett's marriage half a year ago had taken him by surprise.

Baylor hadn't specifically inquired about the CEO's wife's physical appearance. Certainly, anyone who could be a suitable match for Bennett must be truly exceptional.
