Chapter 418
Daisy’s expression stiffened, but she said nothing.
Still, seeing how respectful Ben was acting toward Stella, she could not resist letting her gaze linger on
Stella before turning to leave the office.
Even after she closed the door, she was left staring at the office for a long while.
Who on earth was that woman?
To think that Weston would have a woman other than Guinevere, too…
Aside from Daisy, the other secretaries were interested in Stella as well, and they mobbed Daisy the
instant she stepped out. “Do you know who that woman in Mr. Ford’s office is, Daisy?”
Daisy shook her head, but her expression suddenly turned solemn. “Are you girls done with your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwork?.Do you think Mr. Ford would appreciate your reaction when he returns?” Being the head of the
secretary department, Daisy spoke on Weston’s behalf most of the time.
Seeing that she was being dead serious, the other secretaries traded glances, but they returned to their
desks, leaving Daisy alone as she glanced thoughtfully at Weston’s office again. A man who never
allowed any women to linger around him, suddenly bringing one to his office… What could that mean?
Daisy’s expression turned a little troubled, but she returned to her work anyway.

Ben stepped out of Weston’s office soon after, and when he passed the secretaries’ offices, he asked
Daisy, “May I have a word with you?”
Daisy rose to her feet, just as the other secretaries turned toward them in response. Though they had
no idea about the specifics, they were all naturally wondering if it was because of what had happened
just now.
Everyone knew that Ben is one of Weston’s most trusted aides, and anyone whom he would personally
serve was no pushover, let alone some skank.
“… I guess the woman in Mr. Ford’s office must be someone important, since she’s able to order Ben
Sullivan around,” one of them suggested. “… Is he in there serving that woman coffee or something?”
“You girls are letting your imagination run wild. Mr. Ford brought her to his own office, so it’s not
something we should be concerned about…”
“True. Let’s not get ourselves into trouble.”

Meanwhile, Daisy and Ben stepped out to the balcony.
“What’s the matter, Mr. Sullivan?” Daisy asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWatching her, Ben said, “I’m sure you’re smart enough to know what I’m going to say.”
Daisy appeared taken aback that Ben would say something like that. “You mean…”
“Mr. Ford doesn’t want anyone else to know that the woman in his office has been there. If anyone
asks, she was never here–do you understand?”
In other words, Daisy was supposed to hide the woman’s existence, and her eyes flickered in
understanding. “Even Miss Cohen…?”
Ben frowned, and his eyes were suddenly sharp. “Anyone.” Daisy immediately came to a realization,
and put on a solemn expression. “Alright, understood
–no one will know that she exists.”

After arriving at the hospital, Guinevere stayed with Zack as the doctor checked him. Fortunately, the
boy was alright. Breathing a sigh of relief, she texted Weston—she did not call since he was in a
meeting. His reply soon came, but it was just a single word. [Okay.) Guinevere stared at her phone for
a long time, suddenly feeling as if she was possessed.
