CHAPTER 350: 346, WESLEY FOLEY’S PRECAUTIONS

,

Fortunately, there was no ongoing blatant and covert conflicts, and the meal was relatively harmonious.

After lunch, Titus Zane went back to the office with Wesley Foley, while Nathan Moore, after walking out of the restaurant, directly took a car and left.

Sitting in the extravagant back seat of a Bugatti, Wesley Foley softly called out Titus Zane’s name, "Carry,"

"Hmm?" Titus Zane turned her gaze, but her fingers tensed up, caught by Wesley Foley’s grasp. He turned to look at her without speaking, his pleasant face slightly smiling at the corners of his lips.

Titus Zane...

She tried to pull her fingers away but couldn’t manage it; Wesley Foley’s thumb was gently stroking the back of her hand.

"Director Foley, do you... need something?"

The incident in the office just now still had her feeling uncomfortable, hence, there was some resistance to the touch of a man. But given the man’s special identity in front of her, she had to suppress the resistance in her heart and reluctantly accept it.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to call your name."

Wesley Foley was rather straightforward.

Titus Zane twitched her lips but didn’t speak, because she really didn’t know how to respond.

Fortunately, Wesley Foley didn’t say anything more, but continued holding her fingers, and turned his attention forward again.

In the afternoon, she accompanied Wesley Foley to the research institute again, until it was time to leave work.

It was also at this time that Titus Zane realized that the data sheet she was asked by Wesley Foley to bring that day was not the same as the one the engineers had.

She remembered the form from that day, at least she remembered the arrangement of numbers and letters at the beginning, but the one in the engineers’ hands, which was set aside while discussing with Wesley Foley, was glanced at unintentionally by Titus Zane, and that’s when she realized the discrepancy.

Her expression remained normal, but her mind was brimming with turmoil; it turned out... Wesley Foley was already on guard against her. It seemed, not taking action that day was the right choice after all.

What Titus Zane didn’t know was that Wesley Foley had tampered with that data sheet, treating it with a special chemical that would leave traces if Titus Zane flipped through the entire document.

Luckily, at that moment Titus Zane had a surge of compassion and only flipped the first page before stopping.

Back at the apartment, after bathing, she leaned on the couch, propping her chin with one hand and gazing at a spot for a long time.

She thought Wesley Foley, at least, treated her sincerely, but unexpectedly...

Unknowingly, a mocking smile lifted the corners of her lips, laughing at her own foolishness.

All this time struggling and hesitating, it turned out, he had already been on guard.

Before, Titus Zane had never defined her own character, because she knew she was kind-hearted. But now, she felt a bit of hatred towards her own kindness, fully aware of Wesley Foley’s precautions, yet she still couldn’t bring herself to act.

In the research institute, the images of staff members busily working on computers and micro-machines vividly came to mind, so, she could not bear to see so many people’s hard work taken by someone else.

Xiao Man called her, exchanging simple pleasantries, asking if she needed any help now.

Without any hesitation, Titus Zane said she did not need it.

She herself was always hesitant and, besides, Wesley Foley was certainly not that kind of licentious man.

After talking for a few more moments, Xiao Man revealed the purpose of her call to Titus Zane, still staying in the country, touring various scenic spots, so, she was almost out of money and wanted to ask Titus Zane to lend her some.

Without hesitation, Titus Zane transferred the requested amount directly to Xiao Man, unaware that after hanging up, Xiao Man stared at the transferred amount on her phone and indignantly said, why is it that every time you just sell a bit of charm you earn more than me!

Humph! One day, I will have you under my command!
