In fact, Nathan was completely helpless.
The only one who could reach Macie was Yosef. Unfortunately, Edward had no way of contacting her.
That morning, a manager came by with the product planning proposal for Edward. But after a brief discussion, it became clear that Edward wasn’t in the right headspace. His eyes were red and swollen, so the manager had
no choice but to leave.
“Mr. Levy, do you know what’s wrong with Mr. Fowler?” the manager asked Nathan in the Assistants
Department’s office.
“Oh, he’s going through a breakup,” Nathan replied absentmindedly as he looked up from his computer.
But then he realized that it wasn’t entirely accurate. Macie and Edward were married. They weren’t dating, so it
wasn’t a breakup. It was more like…
Right, a divorce.
Alas… A newly divorced man was bound to be a mess, especially since Edward had brought this on himself.
Nathan could only shake his head and sigh.
The other assistants who overheard that were stunned and the manager was equally taken aback.
After a moment, the manager said, “Can you try to calm him down? This is really affecting the work progress.”
Nathan smiled and nodded, but the truth was that there was nothing he could do.
That day, the company group chat exploded with gossip. Everyone was buzzing about Edward’s split from some
unknown model.
Midday arrived, and it was time for a break.
After a morning of getting familiar with her tasks, Macie had already hit it off with a couple of coworkers. She
made plans to grab lunch together at the company cafeteria.
“Macie, let’s go out and eat.”

Julian appeared at the entrance of the design department. He called her out in a way that couldn’t be more
conspicuous.
Immediately, all eyes in the department turned toward the boss and the new hire. Their gazes were filled with curiosity and speculation.
Feeling the weight of their stares, Macie turned to the two co–workers beside her. “Sorry, let’s reschedule for
tomorrow.”
With that, she quickly followed Julian out and picked up her pace.
“Her name is Macie Smith, right? What’s her relationship with Mr. Atkins?”
“He personally came to get her for lunch. They’re not dating, right?”
“Hold on! I just remembered. I saw her downstairs this morning while I was waiting for the elevator. Mr. Atkins
picked her up himself. I thought she was one of our business partners.‘
The office buzzed with chatter and gossip.
Inside the elevator, Macie asked, “Julian, why didn’t you text me first?”
“Because if I did, you’d definitely refuse. So, I had to come find you in person.” He smiled at her.
She met his gaze, and the emotions in his eyes were clear. She wasn’t naive. She knew exactly what it meant.
“I’m sorry. I…”
She sighed, but before she could finish, he cut her off.
“I don’t have any ulterior motives. You’re my junior, and you just got back from abroad. Honestly, this
company wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for the investment you secured back then. So, whether it’s out of
gratitude or just basic courtesy, I owe you a meal.”
“But you already treated me to a meal two days ago,” Macie pointed out.
