"Sister, are you here for something?" Abby asked anxiously, glancing toward the stairs. She was eager to stop Evan from eating more chili peppers but still turned her attention to Adalee. Adalee raised an eyebrow. "Of course, I'm here for work. But it's going to take some time. So, what's it going to be-handle work with me first, or go downstairs and save Evan from the chili peppers?" Abby hesitated briefly before making her choice. "I'll stop Evan first."

Adalee had already guessed Abby's decision. She sighed inwardly. Abby was utterly wrapped around Evan's finger, though it wasn't as one-sided as it seemed. Evan was just as deeply tied to Abby, willingly caught in her grasp. But Evan wasn't in love with Abby's true self; he was drawn to the version of her she chose to show him. And yet, that version was still Abby, wasn't it?

Thankfully, Evan's heart belonged to Abby's persona. If he had chosen another woman, Adalee wouldn't have accepted Abby going back to him. The daughters of the Du family weren't meant to retreat for anyone. "Sister, give me ten minutes," Abby said before hurrying off.

"Alright," Adalee replied. "I'll wait in your office. Or, if you prefer, you can come to mine later." "I'll come to yours," Abby called out as she headed for the stairs.

Adalee watched her sister disappear. She turned to Abby's secretary, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "Your vice president is still hung up on Evan York."

The secretary nodded. "Mr. York is the first man she's ever fallen for. He used to treat her like a queen. Honestly, I don't think any woman could resist his kind of attention."
