Chapter 355 The Encounter

He was perfectly aware that his body was failing him.

The coughing fits and the stomach cramps were becoming his daily reality.

But it didn’t matter.

He just had to hold on until Jade was back. Then he could worry about the cure.

Jade dropped Sarah at the hotel, took the dry-cleaned suit, and went to the KOE Financial Group.

As she stepped into the lobby, she felt the weight of a dozen gazes.

But she could sense that the stares were friendly, even welcoming.

Jade ignored them and walked to the high-gloss reception desk.

“Hello…”

Before she could finish, the receptionist went still, staring at Jade as if she were a vision.

Jade felt a flicker of discomfort, her hand going to her face.

Was there something on her skin?

Then the girl spoke.

“Ma’am, are you a celebrity? A brand ambassador? You’re stunning. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. May I… would it be a huge imposition to ask for a photo with you?”

Jade blinked, then offered a small, apologetic smile.

“Oh… I’m not a celebrity. I’m sorry.”

“It doesn’t matter!” the girl said, her eyes bright.

“Star or not, I’d still love to have a picture with you.”

The girl’s sincerity was so obvious that Jade couldn’t find it in her to say no.

The receptionist beamed, hurried around the counter, and leaned in next to Jade for several photos.

she was a true lover of beauty, and Jade’s appearance hit every single one of her aesthetic buttons.

She wanted to take a hundred photos, but sensing her guest’s reserved nature, she stopped at five.

Once she had the shots, she remembered why she was there.

“Oh! I’m so sorry. I completely forgot-how can I help you today?”

Jade spoke plainly. “I’m here for Bastian Hamlet.”

“M-Mr. Hamlet?” The girl nearly choked on the name, looking at Jade with a sudden wave of pity.

“Ma’am, look… I’m not trying to discourage you, and you are stunning, but the boss is notoriously… cold. We get a football team’s worth of beautiful women every week trying to get upstairs. Not one has ever made it.”

She glanced at Jade’s beautiful face and decided to take a gamble.

“If you really want to try, I can call the executive assistants, but I can’t promise a result.”

“That’s fine. I don’t need to go up. I’m just here to return his suit.” Jade set the bag on the counter, wanting to let him work.

“I’ll leave it here. I’ll just text him to let him know he can pick it

up

later.”

The receptionist stared at the bag, her eyes slowly going wide.

Returning the boss’s clothes?!

She scanned Jade again.

A woman?

Handling his personal wardrobe?

This is the scandal of the century for the KOE offices.

In all her years at the desk, the boss had never had a female visitor who wasn’t a business partner. The number of women he’d rejected was impossible to count.

She understood every word Jade said, but her brain couldn’t process how they fit together.
