Chapter 226:

Madisyn looked at Jared. Since he had brought it up directly, she decided to address it. “I’m leaving this matter in your hands. Make sure it’s our largest investment.”

“Okay, as you wish,” Jared agreed readily. His boss seemed to be nice to her boyfriend, and she wanted to give him the most investment. Why was there envy in his heart?

They continued their meal in relative silence until Jared spoke up again. “By the way, our organization is preparing to recruit a new group. Since you’re here, you could serve as an examiner.”

Madisyn shrugged. “I’m too lazy for that.”

Jared couldn’t help but smile, knowing her well enough to expect that response. “I understand, but the others are out on tasks, and you’re the only one who can take on this role. If you’re too busy now, we can wait until you have some free time.”

Madisyn gave a nod of agreement. It was nearly impossible for ordinary people to even know about their organization, let alone join it. Those who did know about it understood how exclusive it was; only the top figures in the country could gain entry.

This organization held the keys to the world’s resources and future developments, making it a sacred place that the elite coveted. Simply gaining access to the organization and its information could change a person’s life forever.

After dinner, Jared walked Madisyn to her car. He opened the door for her, but just as she was about to get in, she suddenly felt a strong gaze from the other side of the street. She glanced in that direction but saw no one. Was it just her imagination?

When Madisyn returned home, she unlocked the gate to her villa and suddenly heard footsteps behind her. The sound sent a chill through her, as if the footsteps were echoing in her heart. She spun around and, in the dim light, saw a handsome face emerging from the shadows. Before she could fully make out his features, the man closed the distance between them and pulled her into an embrace. The familiar scent enveloped Madisyn, and her heart skipped a beat.

Somehow, Madisyn sensed that Andrew wasn’t in a good mood. She didn’t say anything, simply holding him close as they stood under the moonlight. They remained like that for a long time, sharing the quiet comfort of the embrace.

Eventually, Andrew released Madisyn and gazed into her eyes, his own filled with a depth of emotion. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. “Aren’t you going to ask me what happened?”

Madisyn smiled gently. “If you want to talk, you will. If you don’t, I’ll wait until you’re ready.”

Andrew stared at her for a moment before suddenly lowering his head and capturing her lips in a fierce kiss. Madisyn, unable to resist, melted into his arms, her body growing soft as she gave in to the moment.

Five minutes later, Andrew finally pulled back, still breathing heavily. Madisyn took a deep breath, her clear, pure eyes meeting his. She had felt something was off since the moment she met him tonight.

“Is it because of Corbett?” she asked softly.

Madisyn also found Corbett to be overly arrogant. Corbett’s company was filled with top tech experts, while Andrew only had Howard by his side.

“Corbett?” Andrew looked puzzled.

Madisyn explained that she had run into Corbett at the hotel earlier. Andrew asked, “You were at that hotel too?”

“Yes, I was having dinner with a friend there.”

Andrew’s gaze sharpened. “Do you have a good relationship with Mr. Cooper?”

“Kind of,” Madisyn replied, but then she realized something. “Wait, how did you know I was having dinner with Jared?”

Andrew’s eyes darkened. Jared’s name wasn’t one that most people would use so casually.

“What’s your relationship with him?” Andrew pressed, his voice laced with a hint of tension.
