“I can’t do that. Natalie, when will the sadness go away? I’m just not used to the fact that Garrett’s not in my life anymore. But I’ll get used to it someday, right?”

Natalie looked at her sympathetically.

“I can’t give you an answer. If I chose to break up with Sebastian after finding out that he was actually Brandon Larson, I have no idea what my life would have been like now. Maybe I would’ve felt bad about it for a while, but I just know I’d find another guy, get married, and have children. I can’t make a mess of my life just because of a single man.”

Laney took a deep breath and smiled with relief.

“I see.”

After preparing dinner and sharing it with Laney, Natalie left. She had come to check how Laney was doing.

Seeing that Laney was going to be fine, she was relieved.

As for the issue between her and Garrett, Natalie believed that Laney would find the answer herself.

Laney knew that the only way she could get rid of her rambling thoughts was to bury herself in work.

Fortunately, the new members of Pole Shadow trained by her finally got their first order. They were tasked to get the financial statements of a club.

However, this club was protected by local gangs, thus Laney’s subordinates suffered a setback on their first mission. One subordinate was even captured.

Given the gravity of the situation, Laney went to the club disguised as a bar girl to rescue him.

The rescue mission went smoothly.

With Laney’s help, the subordinate managed to escape through the back door. But just as Laney was about to slip away through the entrance, the door to a private room next to her was suddenly opened from the inside.

“Hmm…”

A crazed-looking Garrett jumped out of the room and threw himself at Laney “What the hell are you doing, Garrett?”

Laney wanted to push him away, but she soon noticed that there was something wrong with him. His face was flushed and his body was burning hot.
