Simon meant that I could act coquettishly and throw tantrums now.
But if I kept this up, there would come a day when Ferris would get tired of it, and then it would truly be impossible for us to be together.
I wasn’t stupid–I could hear the implications in his words.
“Simon, may I ask if you have a girlfriend? Or rather, do you have a wife?”
Behind his gold–rimmed glasses, Simon’s narrow eyes flickered slightly: “I have a fiancée.”
When he mentioned his fiancée, he seemed somewhat helpless.
Although they had met through an arranged introduction and fallen in love, that woman was too immature and often threw tantrums.
Because of work, he had stood her up, and she threatened not to marry him, treating marriage like child’s play.
“Then she must really like you, right?”
Simon, just like his boss Ferris, never considered others‘ feelings and was cold and sharp–tongued toward people.
If his fiancée didn’t like him, she probably wouldn’t be willing to marry him.
“We’re mutually suitable. It’s not about liking,” Simon replied.
“I hope you can always maintain that attitude.”
After I said this, I ignored him completely.
Simon didn’t understand what I meant and didn’t continue the conversation.
After he left the CEO’s office, he picked up his phone and saw a message from his fiancée: “Working overtime agai
it’s always overtime. Why don’t you just marry your company? I don’t want to be with you anymore.”
The veins on Simon’s temples throbbed.
Here we go again. Keep throwing your tantrums.”
If she didn’t want to marry, then so be it.
It wasn’t lib 1.

If he had known she was this immature, he shouldn’t have wasted time dating her in the first place.
Ferris and Adrian went to the office and didn’t come out unt noon.
Both maintained their composure, and no one knew what they had discussed or how it went.
I was very worried about Adrian.
In Silver Moon pack, Alpha Ferris had absolute power, and his influence in the werewolf world was undeniable. Many of Adrian’s projects had been affected.
As soon as Adrian came out, he found me.
“Come, let’s go have lunch together.”
He had always regretted not being able to spend my birthday with me yesterday.
I looked behind him.
“Don’t worry, Ferris still has work to do, and didn’t he say to keep me company?” Adrian knew what I was worried
about and comforted me.
“Okay.”
I quickly gathered my things and followed Adrian out of the office.
As soon as we left, the secretaries outside the CEO’s office began whispering among themselves.
“Who exactly is this Miss Aurora? She works in our Ferris’s office and gets taken out by other bosses.”
Most of them were newly hired in recent years. Ferris had high standards for people around him, and aside from Simon, no one had been able to stay by his side permanently
But there were also senior colleagues who recognized me.
One woman crossed her arms in front of her chest with a disdainful expression: “You don’t recognize her?”
“Ferris’s Luna.”
The moment these words fell, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
“Isn’t Ferris’s Luna Miss Ashley?”
“Is it really her? Then why did cho 1

After the woman spoke, she waved her hand: “Alright, stop gossiping and get back to work.”
When Ferris came out of the conference room, he learned that I had gone out with Adrian.
He didn’t get angry, but instead had his bodyguard send him location.

In the private restaurant, Adrian had the chef prepare my favorite dishes.
“You’ve gotten thinner recently, eat more.”
“Mm.”
I held my knife and fork, looking at the table full of exquisite food, but had no appetite.
“…By the way, what did you two talk about today?” I couldn’t help but ask.
Adrian said: “Nothing much, just work–related matters.”
“Did Ferris give you any trouble?” I pressed further.
Adrian paused with his knife and fork, looking at me with curved eyes: “I’m not a little girl, how could he give me trouble?”
He was being playful again.
I noticed that when Adrian was outside, he was always called “sir” by those around him, appearing serious and
stern.
But in front of me, he would start joking around before long, sometimes even acting like a child.
“I’m being serious with you. If he gives you trouble, you must tell me.”
During the meal, Adrian noticed that I was wearing a high–necked long–sleeved shirt today. On such a hot day, although there was air conditioning indoors, it would be unbearable once we went outside.
“Are you feeling unwell again recently?”
He knew I was sensitive to cold.
Noticing his gaze, I shook my head somewhat unnaturally: “No, I just thought the office air conditioning was too cold.”
“You can bring a jacket next time. Wearing like this, your neck must be very stuffy.”
“Mm–hmm.” I lowered my head, not wanting him to see the marks on my body.
What I didn’t know was that in another room, Ferris was watching every move Adrian and I made through surveillance.
