"Mr. Schmidt, here's some Vintage Narcissus tea that was flown in this morning. Please have ataste,” said Sheryl Gillis.

She deftly and elegantly prepared the tea for Jameson, which was an art form in itself.

Soon, she served him a new cup of hot tea. The fair lady stood there amid the steam from the teaand the subtle tea scent wafting in the air. She radiated a captivating yet distant presence, acombination of contradictory traits that strangely complemented each other.

Indeed, those who worked for the man were the cream of the crop who were carefully nurtured.Troublesome employees would have already been removed early on.

"Thank you, Ms. Gillis." Jameson raised his cup, but his gaze remained fixed on her.

She bore a resemblance to a particular someone—the woman whom he had loved for a long time."Mr. Schmidt, is there something on my face?" Sheryl wondered with a gentle smile.

"No. Sorry. That was rude.” He quickly looked away with astonishment.

The man behind the curtains laughed. "Sheryl, you're too beautiful. People are naturally attracted tobeauty.

"Mr. Schmidt, how does Sheryl compare to Lyse?"

Feeling surprised, Jameson trod carefully. "My apology, sir. Sheryl is great, but Lyse remains my onlylove in this lifetime. She's the most beautiful lady in my eyes, which no one could ever replace.”

The man chuckled and sipped on the tea. "How loyal of you! But have you heard about this saying—that the loyal one in love suffers the most regrets?”

"I don't mind having regrets. I will willingly lose to Lyse.” Jameson smiled wryly. Memories of theirtense confrontation on the flight still pained his heart.

"Mr. Schmidt, don't speak that way, or it might come true. Sir would be the first to feel sorry for youif you're defeated by Ms. Alyssa, while she might or might not care.

"Without you, sir would lose a right-hand man. How is he going to run his business in Kontina? It'sdifficult to replace a decision-maker as capable as you," Sheryl said with a smile

With a gleam in her eyes, she added, "Not only is Ms. Alyssa a talented woman, but she's also anunattainable target, relentlessly pursued by big names like you and Mr. Beckett. I have higherexpectations for your crush now, and I can't wait to meet her again.”

The man said to her, "Oh, don't worry about it. You'll have a chance to meet her."

Jameson paused in the middle of drinking tea and shot a doubtful glance at Sheryl.

He thought, "Did Sheryl just say “meet her again“? Has Sheryl met Alyssa before? How is thatpossible?”

From the moment he was acquainted with Sheryl, she had never left the side of her employer.Neither had she traveled to Cyrris, so she couldn't possibly have any interaction with Alyssa.

Sheryl returned to the side of the man and walked behind him. Then, she thoughtfully started tomassage his shoulders. She asked, "Sir, when do you plan to return to Solana City?"
