"Don't even think about it!"
Gan Yuan raised her hand to push Huangfu Jue away, clasped her hands behind her back with the string of keys, and walked toward the deeper part of the garden.
The man strode after her, caught one of her wrists, and his fingers glided down from her wrist, separating her fingers to interlock with his.
She didn't struggle, but compliantly separated her fingers to hold on to his.
His fingers gently caressed the new scab on the back of her hand, and Huangfu Jue spoke in a low tone.
"So far, we still haven't figured out who the mastermind behind the scenes is. You'll sign a contract tomorrow and take a few days off before you go to work."
"No!" she turned her face, "I want to start tomorrow."
The man raised an eyebrow.
Gan Yuan then spoke sternly, "I don't want to compromise with him. If I am his target, or… I might be able to lure the snake out of its hole."
That guy had been extremely cautious; up to now, they still hadn't found any valuable clues.
