Jackson kept his eyes on the road, hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, yet he managed to keep his emotions in check, speaking with the calmest demeanor possible. “Just follow your heart, Gilda. Even if you always see me as a brother, that’s fine.

“There’s no need to force yourself into anything you’re not comfortable with.”

Gilda knew he was the one person in the world who truly understood her.

She didn’t want to let down.

understanding and care.

perhaps it was time for her to bravely take a step forward, wasn’t it?

“I understand, Jackson,” Gilda responded, her voice soft.

Jackson smiled in relief. “Tomorrow, I’ll have the person in charge of the Llandre project from our company come over to Glory Corporation, so we can sign the contract, okay?”

The conversation shifted, and Gilda took a moment to catch up. “Sure! Then, Mr. Moore, I look forward to our successful

cooperation.”

The next day, the representative from FL Corporation arrived early at Glory Corporation.

By 10 am, the heads of both companies had signed the contract.

“Mr. Moore, from now on, our companies are like family. We need to support each other in business,” Gilda said with a smile. Jackson fixed his gaze on her, replying, “Of course, Ms. Lynch! The Llandre project is long–term and requires significant investment. When would be a good time for us to conduct a site visit together?”

Gilda had already planned for this.

“Next week would be fine. I’ve had my assistant schedule it. Will you be available then, Mr. Moore?”

Jackson thought for a moment and replied lightly, “I suppose I should be.”

They exchanged a smile, and upon leaving the office, Gilda couldn’t help but comment, “Jackson, I just realized how handsome you look when you’re serious!”

“Gilly, you’re getting better at giving compliments. But remember to focus on your work!”

Gilda nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Moore!”

She then personally escorted Jackson down the building. As they stepped outside, Jackson stopped. “No need to see me off further. See you next week!”

“See you next week!” Gilda waved goodbye.

However, in that moment, her attention was solely on Jackson, failing to notice a speeding car heading straight towards

The car smashed into a pillar, sending glass shattering everywhere.

“Oh no.”

“People, come quick! There is a car crash!”

“The d

driver is still inside. Call the police.”

“What are you waiting for? Help, call an ambulance!”

The surrounding area erupted into chaos as Gilda lay dazed on the ground, struggling to orient herself.

“Gilly, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” Jackson’s concerned voice reached her, as he immediately began checking her for injuries.

Gilda shook her head. “Jackson, I’m finel”

Jackson helped her up, as onlookers gathered increasingly around the scene.

Glass littered the ground, and the car was wedged into the pillar, its rear end smoking and immobilized.

Gilda, upon seeing the car, felt a strange sense of familiarity. “Jackson, I think I’ve seen this car before!”
