Arwen paused, her eyes growing stubborn. "... you aren’t going to stop me from finding out the one who did this to me."
"Moon —"
"Husband," she cut in, not allowing him to refuse her. "I promise I won’t try to remember the past I have forgotten, but this one thing, I am not going to accept. I need find out to move on from this. I am going to ask Granna. And you can’t stop me from that."

Meanwhile, at the same time, back in the restaurant —
Zenith tried to keep her rationality, but under the doze of the dug, it simply seemed slipping away.
Her legs felt weak, yet she tried her beast to avoid the three men who were eyeing her like prey. She stepped back desperately but carefully, holding the edge of the table, chair whatever helped her.
But with every step she backed away, those three men walked towards her, their look so dirty that she wanted to dig a hole just so that she could escape from them.
"Y-you are going to be the partners with Foster Ventures. Don’t do this. At our company, there are strict rules against it and our CEO doesn’t —" She tried to say anything that would make them change their intentions.
However, those men were just too drunk to realize how wrong were their thoughts.
Before she could finish her words, they interrupted her —
"Don’t worry Foster Ventures might have strict rules but we aren’t working for Foster Ventures. We are working with them as partners and that alone changes the rules for us."
"Yes, Ms. Zane, don’t worry. We will take care of you, your body and your concerns so well that you won’t have to fear anyone. Just surrender to us. Haha ..."
"Also, CEO Foster is young. He might have his fair play of such pleasures. When we will tell you how fascinated we were with his secretary, he wouldn’t mind us taking you for a night. After all, tomorrow we are going to become the partners."
"No ... No," Zenith shook her head. "R-Ryan Sir isn’t like that. If he comes to know about this, he isn’t going to tolerate it. He will punish you guys. So let me go and I won’t mention it to him."
The men paused when they heard her. And for a moment, Zenith though that they finally understood and would let her go.
But the next moment, exchanging gazes with each other, they started laughing. Then turning to Zenith, they scoffed together.
"He won’t tolerate and punish us?" one of them repeated. "Really? Who do you think we are Secretary Zenith?"
"We are going to partner with CEO Foster so that both of our company make profits together. Do you think just for you — a mere secretary, he would be willing to let go those profits that would keep his company going for success?"
Zenith stiffened when she heard them. She didn’t want to believe them, but when she carefully thought of their words, she felt like they were saying right.
She was nothing but a normal secretary. And they were the partners who will not just bring one-time profits but also several opportunities. Will Ryan choose her?
