    “I don’t think so. Jessica went back to Grant Manor today, and I’m heading back to the office now. I’ll check things out tomorrow and let you know if anythinges up.” Brian said.

    Sana’s attitude had made him suspicious too, so right after leaving Grant Group, Brian had contacted the bodyguard who’d been watching Jessica. When he learned that Jessica had gone to Grant Manor and seemed fine, he felt relieved.

    I’m probably overthinking this,’ Brian thought.

    “Well, heading back to the office at this hour? You’re really living the busy executive life, Mr. Atkinson,” Wesley teased.

    Brian let out a helplessugh. “Can’t help it. We’ve got a new productunching up, and I can’t step away right now.”

    Brian had pushed most of his work onto others so he could take care of Jessica, but this new productunch was something he’d been preparing for a long time.

    He couldn’t afford any mistakes, so whenever he had free time, he made sure to personally oversee everything at thepany.

    “That makes sense.” Wesley nodded. They chatted briefly about Jessica’s recent mental state before hanging up.

    After that, Brian returned to the office and worked through the entire night, fixing several bugs and issues. Three dayster, he finally managed to get the new productunched perfectly.

    Jessica scrolled through online reviews of Atkinson Group’s new emergency watch and thought Brian would probably be swamped with work today.

    When Jessica got off work, she knew Brian would likely be too busy to pick her up, but she still found herself automatically ncing toward the parking lot. That was when she spotted a familiar Bentley slowly pulling up.

    “Jessica,” Brian called out, clearly relieved when he saw her standing outside the car. He’d been worried he wouldn’t make it in

    time.

    For the past few days, Jessica’s parents had kept her at Grant Manor. Brian had visited twice with Jake, and while her parents treated them warmly enough, it still wasn’t asfortable as being back at the apartment.

    Yesterday, when they were leaving, Jessica mentioned she wouldn’t be going back to her parents’ house today, so Brian. immediately decided he’de pick her up and bring her home.

    But just as Brian was about to leave, he realized he’d forgotten something and had to go back for it. The dy meant he arrived after Grant Group’s usual closing time, and he’d been afraid Jessica had already left. ‘Thank goodness,’ he thought.

    “How did you get here so early? Didn’t Atkinson Group justunch their new product?” Jessica’s eyes flickered with surprise when she saw Brian. He actually arrived on time,’ she thought.

    “I worked overtime to get everything finished,” Brian said with obvious pride in his voice. As he spoke, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out to open Jessica’s car door.

    “You should get in first, Jessica. It’s cold down here in the garage,” Brian added.

    “Okay,” Jessica didn’t refuse his offer/Once she was in the car, she immediately spotted the familiar packaging box Brian had ced on the driver’s seat. She’d seen the same design online just recently.

    When Brian noticed her looking at it, he quickly pulled out the gift he’d prepared. An elegant silver-white women’s watch appeared

    before her eyes.

    “This is Atkinson Group’stest emergency watch,” Brian exined, “It monitors your heart rate and vital signs in real time, and if it detects anything abnormal, it automatically calls 911 and sends an SOS signal to your emergency contacts.

    “I thought it would be perfect for you. Will you ept it?”

    Brian held the watch out to Jessica, his usually sharp eyes now filled with hope. He’d been preparing this watch for a long time, and if it hadn’t been for the technical issues they’d run into, he would have given it to her much sooner.

    Jessica’s heart softened for a moment. “Alright.” By the time she realized what she’d agreed to and wanted to take it back, it was toote.

    Brian was already thrilled by her response and reached for the watch, ready to put it on her wrist. “Let me put it on for you.”

    The excitement and joy in his eyes were so genuine that her heart couldn’t help but race. When Jessica noticed her own reaction, she quickly grabbed the watch and looked down. “No need, I can put it on myself.”
