At this moment, a knock echoed in the office. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Emily Walker was visibly startled, jerking her head around to fix her terrified gaze on the office door from where the sound emanated.
Noticing her panic, Baron Stuart abruptly rose and moved to her side, protectively wrapping her in his arms before turning to the door and ordering quietly, "Enter."
In came secretary Bennett Philine. Upon seeing Baron, she smiled politely and nodded slightly. "Mr. CEO, this is the urgent planning proposal from the South Korean partner that arrived earlier. They need your personal review and signature."
After speaking, Philine shifted her gaze to Mrs. Walker, who she had not seen in a while, and gave her a friendly nod and a slight smile.
But Philine was stunned by Emily's reaction. Usually, Mrs. Walker would return her smile. What was wrong with her today...
