Initially, Noel had felt a pang of guilt for drawing Harlee away from Rhys, which had made him step aside earlier, hoping they could sort things out themselves.

But witnessing Rhys lose control had been too much.

Noel realized he couldn’t stand by while Harlee suffered. No longer could he hide his feelings under a veil of friendship. It was time to confront the storm, head-on.

As Harlee nestled into Noel’s comforting embrace, a sharp, suffocating agony seized Rhys’ heart.

He felt a surge of panic overwhelm him.

“Harlee, Lee, please, it wasn’t what I wanted… I didn’t…”

Rhys’ heart pounded furiously, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned stark white, and his lips quivered, betraying his inner turmoil.

Harlee looked down at the hand Noel clasped firmly, her eyelids fluttering shut as she wrestled with her thoughts.

After a moment of silent contemplation, she made her decision.

The following day, Brenton waited patiently for Harlee at the gate of the Sanderson family’s home.

Today, Harlee would be visiting the Sanderson Group. This was the condition Brenton had agreed to in order to ease the concerns of their parents and the Green family.

His desire for her to visit the Sanderson Group stemmed from wanting the Sanderson family’s resources to become Harlee’s most formidable backing.

Honestly, Brenton wouldn’t mind being a figurehead CEO, while Harlee managed the operation behind the scenes. Just as Brenton found himself lost in thought, Harlee emerged from the house.

After the incident with Rhys the previous day, Harlee had completely dismissed any interest in him, though her concern for the Greens remained unwavering.

Following Belinda’s admission to the hospital, Harlee had stayed by her side throughout the night, only returning home at dawn.

The Sandersons never objected to Harlee’s interactions with the Greens, as they recognized the genuine care Nathaniel, Jose, and Belinda held for her. The fact that the Green family truly considered Harlee as one of their own eased their minds.

Brenton quickly swung the car door open for Harlee. Noticing her in sportswear instead of the outfits more suited to the workplace dress code, he couldn’t help but smile. She was quite unique.

Harlee walked past Brenton and settled into the car. She glanced at him and asked nonchalantly, “Brenton, don’t you ever get bored of wearing a suit to work every day?”

Taken aback, Brenton paused.

He had never contemplated going to work dressed otherwise.

He laughed softly and replied, “Give me a second. I’ll also change into sportswear.” The idea of matching with his sister sparked a sense of amusement within him.

Harlee gave a faint nod.

“Working is tiring enough. You’ll feel more relaxed in sportswear.”

Smiling, Brenton hurried inside and returned in an all-black tracksuit that matched Harlee’s.

Kane, who had been stationed nearby, hesitated before speaking as Brenton approached the car.

“Mr. Sanderson, Miss Sanderson, are you sure about your attire? Today’s board meeting is quite important… I mean, key decisions will be made.

And it’s Miss Sanderson’s first appearance at the company. I’m concerned…”
