Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany)

"Of course. Ivy, you've always been my best friend," Kelly said.

"Well, if that's the case, why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy?" Ivy asked.

Kelly hesitated before responding, "Um... Who told you I'm pregnant?"

Ivy scoffed, "Come on, don't play dumb. Mr. Lewis bought you skincare today, specifically asking for the pregnancy set. If you're not pregnant, why would he buy that?"

As Kelly processed Ivy's words, she realized the truth. The skincare set wasn't for her. She instantly knew who it was meant for.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, breaking their conversation.

"Oops, sounds like someone's at the door. Mr. Zander is probably looking for me. Let's chat later," Ivy said before hanging up and heading to the door.

Sure enough, it was Alex standing there when she opened it.

"Mr. Zander, are you looking for me?" Ivy asked.

"Yeah, I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Pack your things. We have a flight in half an hour," Alex informed her.

Ivy stared at him, looking puzzled. "Wait, where are we going?"

"We're heading back to Chilburg," Alex replied.

Ivy frowned in confusion. "But wasn't that supposed to be happening the day after tomorrow? And it's definitely more than a half-hour drive to the airport from here." Alex shrugged. "Mr. Lewis has everything sorted. We just need to go along with it."

"Okay," Ivy said, though still a bit uncertain about the sudden change in plans.

20 minutes later, the three of them stepped into the elevator.

Alex pushed a button, and Ivy glanced at the display, realizing they were going up instead of down.

Her confusion deepened. Weren't they supposed to head to the airport? Why were they going to the rooftop?

A few minutes later, the elevator reached the rooftop. As the doors opened, a chilly breeze swept in.

The rumbling of a helicopter overhead grew louder as it approached.

It wasn't until the helicopter landed in front of them that Ivy realized they were chartering a flight back to Chilburg overnight.

Ivy glanced at Vincent. Though he remained composed and cool, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was eager to return for some reason. What else could make a man so eager to return if not a woman?

"Kelly was indeed one lucky woman!" Ivy mused inwardly.

Early in the morning, Tiffany woke up feeling hungry. She opened her eyes to find the sky outside still a dull gray. It was still quite early.

But hunger pushed her out of bed. She got up and freshened up. Then, she grabbed her thermos and headed downstairs to the cafeteria for a breakfast sandwich.

The campus was veiled in a light mist. With the morning sky yet to fully awaken, there were hardly any people passing by near the dorms.

As Tiffany stepped out of the

dormitory building, she noticed a

black car parked in the fog. At first she thought she might be mistaken. However, when she checked the license plate, she confirmed it was Vincent's car.

But wasn't he supposed to be away on a business trip?

According to the schedule, he wasn't expected back for at least another day or two. His sudden appearance left Tiffany puzzled.

As she wondered, the car door opened, and Vincent stepped out.

He was dressed sharply in a suit, and his hair was slightly tousled. He looked as if he had traveled a long way to be there.

There was a hint of weariness in his eyes, but when he looked at her, a gentle smile graced his lips.
