“Okay.” Eileen didn’t ask him how he was going to do it. As long as he could get the drug, it was fine.
After the meal was finished, the two walked out of the restaurant and went their separate ways, neither of them looking back.
But they were still photographed when they Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
were parting ways.
When Victor returned home, the lights were not
urned on.
He fumbled to turn on the light and was startled by the person in front of him.
“What are you doing!”
Sapphire’s face was sallow, and she stared at Victor with the dark circles under her eyes.
“Where have you been?”
Victor took off his tie irritably. “Company.”
“Who went to the company to meet you?” Her tone became gloomy.
Victor suddenly turned his head and looked over. “Did you get someone to keep an eye on me?”
“Is there a need?” Sapphire said sarcastically. “Miss Reid is much more popular than she was five years ago. So many people are watching her every move!”
Victor frowned
and took out his phone, and immediately saw the hot searches.
Both he and Eileen were on trending searches.
The boss of Destiny Entertainment was dating a popular actress.
The love-hate relationship between a popular actress and her former boss.
Eileen Reid and Victor Maxwell.
A single artist and a married ex-boss.
Several terms were on the hot search list.
With Eileen’s popularity, and coupled with his identity as a married ex-boss, it was enough to make the server explode.
“It’s been five years. I thought you had no contact with her. I didn’t expect you to still not be able to help yourself.”
Sapphire made a dig at him. “Victor, you told me that you would never have anything to do with her again.
“It’s just a normal meal.” Victor dialed his secretary’s number. “Remove the hot search!”
The secretary replied, “It’s already being withdrawn, but Miss Reid is too popular now and can’t be withdrawn!”
“Block any terms related to her!” Victor was in a bad mood. He didn’t want to cause trouble for Eileen.
“Would you like me to step in?” Sapphire’s smile was somewhat complex.
Victor hung up and looked at Sapphire coldly. “How do you want to step in? Tell those reporters that I had dinner with you?”
“Sure, as long as you promise…”
“Sapphire Starling, I won’t agree to anything anymore,” Victor cut her off ruthlessly.
“If you don’t want my help, are you going to watch Eileen get harassed by the public?” Sapphire thought
she could threaten him.
Victor didn’t say anything, put on his coat, and walked into the night.
“Victor!” Sapphire gave chase and almost stumbled.
Victor turned his head back to look at her. “Sapphire, take care of yourself.”
Eileen wanted to help Conrad recover his memory, and he would grant her that wish.
He would also grant himself a wish.
He and Sapphire should have ended things long ago.
If Conrad could regain his memory, everything would go back to how it used to be.
Peter came out of the laboratory, and a figure emerged from the darkness and blocked his way.
“Mr. Maxwell?”
Victor pointed to the coffee shop across the street. “Shall we have a chat?”
“I don’t think we have anything to talk about,” Peter said coldly.
Victor put a hand on Peter’s shoulder. “I heard you have a drug that can help Conrad regain his memory.”
Peter paused for a moment and said, “It has side effects.”
“You can research it and find a solution for the side effects, right?”
“Mr. Maxwell, he has side effects in his body. Long-term use of memory-suppressing drugs, combined with my medication, will cause problems.”
Victor held Peter’s shoulder more tightly. “I believe you can solve it.”
“I…” Peter frowned and looked at the black bodyguards emerging from the darkness. He stopped himself from saying what was on his mind.
Victor patted his shoulder gently. “If this matter is resolved, how about letting bygones be bygones for our past grudges?”
