As the workday was winding down, a delivery of a hundred afternoon tea sets arrived at Rising Sun Tech.

When Shawna, the receptionist, brought them in, everyone was taken aback.

“Afternoon tea from a five–star hotel? Who’s being so generous?” someone exclaimed.

Shawna just smiled without saying a word.

“Five–star? How do you know?” another asked.

“I saw it on a group–buying site before. Each set costs hundreds,” Shawna replied.

The room buzzed with shock.

“Who could be so generous?” someone wondered aloud, and eyes turned to Scarlett Adler.

“Ms. Adler, is it you again?” they asked.

Scarlett picked up a cup of coffee and shook her head, “It’s really not me!”

“If it’s not you… then who?” Everyone knew Scarlett had been generous before, but no one else seemed

wealthy enough to pull off something like this.

Shawna looked at them with a mysterious smile. “You don’t know, but I do!”

“Who is it?”

“Who?”

Voices clamored for answers.

“I’m afraid if I tell you, you won’t dare eat it!” Shawna teased.

“Even if it’s from the boss, I’m not scared. I’ll just eat him into bankruptcy!” a colleague joked.

During break time, Scarlett Adler listened with interest, occasionally joining in on the gossip.

Shawna, with a mysterious air, smiled and said, “Alright, listen up. The person treating us to afternoon tea

is… Mr. Hodges!” As she said this, her gaze landed directly on Scarlett.

As soon as the words left Shawna’s mouth, everyone was stunned.

All eyes turned to Scarlett once again.

Even though Scarlett wasn’t the one who arranged it, it was because of her that they were getting treated to

Hugo Hodges‘ afternoon tea. Otherwise, why would they be so lucky?

Scarlett was a bit taken aback, looking at Shawna with uncertainty. “Shawna, are you sure?”

“Of course, it’s clearly written on the order!” Shawna said, handing the order slip to Scarlett.

“Oh~” The group looked at Scarlett, starting to tease her.

Scarlett looked at them and, without any false modesty, said, “Well, I really didn’t know about this, but since

it’s here, don’t hold back. Enjoy!”

Her straightforward and genuine attitude really won everyone over!

So, Shawna began distributing the afternoon tea.

Scarlett Adler took a cup of coffee and went straight back to her desk.

Someone commented, “Mr. Hodges really knows how to deliver afternoon tea. It’s top–notch!”

“This tea isn’t just a treat; it’s a statement. We better tread carefully from now on!”

“I think it’s more than that. Mr. Hodges is signaling us to take good care of Ms. Adler!”

Listening to their teasing, Scarlett just smiled and said nothing.

“Ms. Adler, no matter what, thank Mr. Hodges for the afternoon tea for us!”

“I’ll pass it on!” Scarlett replied.

Not long after the afternoon tea, it was time to clock out.

Scarlett walked out with Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter, discussing work as they went.

However, as they reached the entrance, they saw the same car from the morning. The person inside seemed

to notice them and stepped out.

Upon seeing Hugo Hodges, Ethan and Brent instinctively moved closer to Scarlett.

Keeping a respectful distance, Hugo Hodges noticed their actions and felt a sense of satisfaction. Yes, they

were indeed becoming more sensible.

As Hugo approached, Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter quickly greeted him in unison, “Mr. Hodges!”

“Hello, Mr. Hodges!”

“Mr. Hodges, we received the afternoon tea. On behalf of the entire company, I want to thank you,” East

Hayes chimed in.

Hugo looked at them, nodded, and then smiled, “No need to thank me. I heard about the incident where

someone caused trouble at the company, and you all protected her. I haven’t had the chance to thank you for

that. The afternoon tea is just a small token of appreciation.”

They were a bit surprised that Hugo was aware of the incident.

“It was the right thing to do!” East said.

“Yeah, Ms. Adler is our boss, our leader. Of course, we had to protect her!” Ethan added.

“Exactly!” Brent agreed.

Their attitude should have made it clear, right? Hugo shouldn’t misunderstand their intentions as anything

but good.

Hugo Hodges looked at them and nodded, “Yeah, I’ll remember you guys!”

Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter’s eyes lit up immediately.

Scarlett Adler, not interested in hearing more from them, turned to Hugo, “What brings you here?”

Hugo’s gaze softened with affection as he looked at Scarlett. “Fourth just called. Summer Shaw wants to

meet us for dinner to discuss Fourth’s contract, so I came to pick you up.”

Scarlett wasn’t surprised at all and nodded.

She turned to Ethan, Brent, and East Hayes, “I’ll be off then!”

“Alright!” East nodded.

“Goodbye!” Ethan gave a professional smile, “Safe travels!”

“May you have a long and happy life together!” Brent added.

Scarlett paused for a moment.

She turned back to see Brent’s smile, which was nothing short of sycophantic.

Hugo Hodges couldn’t help but smile.

Once they got into the car, Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter finally relaxed. “That went well, right?” Brent

asked.

“You’re such a jerk, saying ‘may you live happily ever after,” Ethan scoffed, annoyed. “I should’ve said ‘may

you have lots of kids!“”

It’s just about showing loyalty, anyone can do that!

Brent replied, “Well, whose fault is it that you didn’t think of it yourself?”

“So, Mr. Hodges won’t misunderstand us anymore, right?” Ethan was particularly concerned about this.

“He shouldn’t. We made things pretty clear,” Brent assured him.

At that moment, East Hayes looked at them and shook his head in exasperation. “You guys really think too

highly of yourselves. Do you honestly think Mr. Hodges sees you as competition?” With that, he walked

ahead.

Ethan and Brent exchanged glances, furrowing their brows, then nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, that makes sense!”

“True, Mr. Hodges wouldn’t see us as competitors!” They both sighed in relief and continued walking forward.

…

Meanwhile, in the car.

Scarlett Adler had just settled into her seat when Hugo Hodges suddenly leaned in closer. Scarlett paused

for a moment, not moving, and simply stared at him.

Hugo met her gaze, remaining silent, his arm brushing against her as he reached over to pull the seatbelt

from her side.

Realizing his intention, Scarlett looked at him and said, “Thank you.”

His gaze was intense, filled with a warmth that made it hard to look directly at him.

Scarlett closed her eyes briefly, then looked at him, “Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter love to joke around.

Don’t listen to their nonsense!”

Hugo raised an eyebrow, “Nonsense? Which part are you referring to?”
