Afterward, I asked him in confusion, “That product is only worth a few hundred dollars; why would you offer one million?”
Finn poured himself a cup of coffee, speaking slowly. “You have a good business mind, but you don’t understand the market yet.”
“I already knew Jack’s formula wasn’t worth much; what I was interested in was the brand he created. Although its recognition isn’t high now, all young
women are familiar with it. With a bit of promotion, I can easily earn back that million.”
Suddenly, everything clicked into place for
- me.
So that was it; Jack was so confident for a reason. Coming here was indeed the right choice; I was learning something valuable.
“But I want to know, how did you know it was only worth a few hundred?”
Finn’s gaze bore into me.
I smiled awkwardly. “I guessed.”

He didn’t press further, and I took the opportunity to suggest that he let me manage a branch office.
In my past life, Leo had no standing in the Parker family and could give me nothing.
I longed to run my own business, to be my own boss. That way, I wouldn’t have to rely on anyone; once I earned enough money, I could leave.
“You have quite the ambition. You’re not thinking of taking over the company, making money, and then running away, are you?”
He looked at me, as if trying to see through me. Wow, how does he understand people better than I do? For the first time, I felt a wave of insecurity wash over me. Here I was, someone with a natural talent for success, yet I couldn’t measure up to him. It seemed this was true talent.
“Of course not. I just wanted something to do,” he replied, taking a sip of his coffee. “Alright, but you can only go once you’ve learned from me.”
In the following days, I shadowed Finn at

the office, absorbing a wealth of knowledge about social dynamics and business strategies. One day, to my surprise, he took the initiative to invite me out for lunch. And not just anywhere–he chose the most luxurious restaurant in
town.
To my astonishment, we ran into Jessica and Leo there. Jessica was in the middle of cutting a steak for Leo when she spotted us. She quickly set down her knife and fork, her eyes wide with surprise.
“Little sister, you’re here too!” she exclaimed, but then realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, “Brother and sister–in–law, you’re here for lunch as well?”
In the next moment, I could almost hear her thoughts. *What a nightmare! Of all times to run into her, I can’t embarrass myself!*
“Yeah, I came to eat with Finn,” I said, linking my arm with his. He didn’t pull away. Leo hurried over to greet us.
“Brother and sister–in–law.”
Finn ignored them, pulling me to a table

“Brother and sister–in–law.”
Finn ignored them, pulling me to a table instead. I could see Jessica fuming behind us, clearly puzzled as to why Finn hadn’t scolded me and had even brought me along for lunch.
When I went to the restroom, she was waiting for me at the door. The moment she saw me, her eyes burned with fury, as if she wanted to swallow me whole. That look reminded me of the time she had run me off the road in my past life.
“You must be getting beaten up by Finn behind the scenes!”
“Stop pretending. You’re just disgusting!”
I couldn’t help but smile at her words, pretending to accidentally notice the needle marks on her arm.
“Oh, Jessica, what happened? Why do you have so many needle marks?”
A flash of panic crossed her face as she quickly covered her arm, glaring at me. “What’s it to you? This is just a little fun between me and Leo!”

“Well, it’s not surprising you wouldn’t know; Finn probably hasn’t touched you yet, has he?”
