Before Olivia could respond, another voice interrupted.

“Don’t rush, have breakfast first.”

Jin Shiya looked up and saw Noland walking toward her from the front hall. He was dressed in athletic wear, holding Wendy’s leash, seemingly having just finished a run with the dog. He handed the leash to a maid before approaching her.

“What’s so urgent that you’re skipping breakfast?”

Jin Shiya took a deep breath and explained her situation clearly: “Yesterday, I got too caught up in having fun and missed the director group’s call. This morning, my assistant was blocked at the door and questioned. I need to go over there immediately to understand the situation and come up with a solution. Otherwise, RM’s project might be over before it even starts.”

Noland, who had been indifferent the day before when the director group was looking for RM’s head, remained unruffled. “Have breakfast first. Whether RM’s project ends or not, it’s not for the director group to decide.”

Jin Shiya, who had been tense, suddenly felt herself relax.

“And with your messy hair, you can’t go out like this.” Noland glanced at her and Jin Shiya reached up to touch her head, realizing she was so rushed that a few strands of hair were sticking out.

Blushing with embarrassment, she followed Noland, who walked ahead and led her to the dining room.

Jin Shiya, in her current state, was still somewhat immature. She would panic, feel lost, hurry, get nervous, and blush—something new for Noland to experience. He found it oddly enjoyable. He was patient with every bit of her immaturity, and seeing her flustered was something Noland truly appreciated.

In her past life, no one had ever been there to embrace her like this. Chen Zichen could teach her how to navigate business and handle people, but he would never clean up her messes or feel pity for her confusion. What he needed was someone who could take over her role perfectly, as that was her father’s requirement.

So many times when she made mistakes in business, Jin Shiya would cry quietly with red eyes, gritting her teeth to handle things herself.

Noland even remembered the first time Jin Shiya messed up a collaboration in her past life. She was sitting in the office at midnight, staring blankly at her computer screen, tears streaming down her face.

In this life, he would never let that happen to her.

She could be flustered and confused, but she would never be left to cry in pain.

Looking at Jin Shiya, who was peacefully having breakfast across from him, Noland smiled. “I’m surprised you still remember work. I thought you forgot all about this business trip.”

Jin Shiya flushed again, this time out of embarrassment and shame.

“I know I made a mistake. I won’t forget again next time.”

“It’s fine if you forget,” Noland said casually.

“Huh?” Jin Shiya thought she had misheard. But when she looked up, she saw the gentle, indulgent look in Noland’s eyes. She couldn’t help but remind herself again: I like Bai Yongyan! Bai Yongyan!

“It’s fine if you forget,” Noland continued. “After all, I’m the one in charge, and no one dares to question me.”

Noland sat across from her, watching her eat. One hand rested on the table while the other propped up his head. His platinum blonde hair almost looked silver under the sunlight, and his pale blue-gray eyes were so soft that Jin Shiya felt herself getting lost in them.

His words, filled with a sense of superiority and tenderness, made Jin Shiya’s mind completely abandon Bai Yongyan. All she could think of now were three words: I’m done for.
