In the office, the woman stood silently by the window, dressed in a form–fitting professional outfit that accentuated her curves. She wore champagne–colored high heels that clicked softly on the floor, her slender calves straight and elegant.
Her long, flaxen hair cascaded in glossy waves, flowing effortlessly down her back.
The door swung open, and her assistant hurried in.
“Linda, the bidding meeting is about to start. The clients are on their way, and this time, we’re up against Willow Group, one of Couhgan’s most powerful and established companies.”
“Got it,” she replied, her voice low and soothing, almost magnetic, with an allure that made it easy to lose oneself in her words.
Linda glanced down to adjust her skirt, then, with a practiced motion, loosened the top two buttons of her blouse, revealing just a hint of her neckline. Satisfied, she straightened and walked out.
“Mr. Reece, what do you think of Willow Group’s proposal this time?”
The bidding had already started. Seated in the client section, the man held the proposal in his hands. His expression was calm and composed, his eyes approving.
The land he was planning to develop was vast, and the project was massive. He needed a trustworthy partner, and Willow Group, with its long history and the bold yet meticulous nature of its leadership, was a company he had faith in.
But Kendrick was always cautious. Even though the proposal in his hands was impressive, he didn’t immediately respond to the person in charge. Instead, he said flatly, “Let’s hear from Oasis Group. I’ve heard they have a new project leader.”
He closed the proposal with a snap, and the host exchanged a few words with the other party before turning back to the microphone. “Next, we’ll hear from Oasis Group.”
At the sound of this, a woman in a black suit stood up in the audience. Her curvy figure appeared step by step, slowly emerging into view.
Kendrick hadn’t paid attention at first, but when the woman turned, he noticed several people around him whispering in hushed tones.
He looked up, and the sight that met his eyes nearly paralyzed him.
His eyes widened in shock, glued to the woman speaking confidently on stage. His pupils contracted sharply, and the hand resting on the armrest of his chair clenched into a fist. His breath caught in his chest.
This woman…
Kendrick’s gaze swept over her, unable to tear himself away. Aside from her figure, her features and the shape of her face were nothing like her. But somehow, the aura she radiated–her presence–was eerily similar to Raelynn’s.
“Who is she?”
Hearing the urgency in Kendrick’s voice, Tim quickly checked. “Mr. Reece, this is the project leader from Oasis Group, her name is Linda. She’s a Cleidalian from Astua. It’s her first time in our country.”
Kendrick’s focus remained fixed on the woman on stage, his breath tightening, his heart pounding as if it might burst from
his chest
What’s going on?
Her face was completely different, yet he couldn’t escape the powerful pull she had on him Kendrick couldn’t look way
Finally, the woman on stage finished speaking. Her eyes, slightly tilted at the corners, flickered toward him in a fierung glance, and she winked–charining and elusive–before quickly turning away.
Kendrick’s body tensed.
“Get me the proposal from Oasis Group now!

Tim quickly passed it to him, ready to ask his boss what he meant, but before he could, Kendrick scanned the pages in a blur, frowning but not hesitating for even a moment. He grabbed his pen and signed the document.
Tim stood frozen for a few seconds, stunned. “Mr. Reece? Are you giving the project to Oasis Group?”
