She turned her head, thinking they had finished the meeting, but instead, she saw Baron Stuart’s solemn face, still carrying a trace of severity.

It was only in front of Emily Walker and his children that Baron Stuart showed his gentle side.

As he passed by her, Baron Stuart merely glanced at her indifferently before heading straight to his office.

Watching his tall figure, Camila Walker lowered her eyelids, as if contemplating something.

She looked back; Clayton Howard and the others had not come out of the meeting room yet. Presumably, Baron Stuart had left early, leaving them to deal with the aftermath.

In the CEO’s Office, as soon as Baron Stuart sat down, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Upon hearing the invitation, Camila Walker pushed the door open. Seeing her, Baron Stuart did not show the repulsion he used to; he simply spoke coldly, “What is it?”

Camila Walker looked at the man high above her and saw his icy gaze. She was not surprised; at least, he wasn’t looking at her with eyes full of dislike and disgust like before.

“I… I want to ask you for a favor.”

At these words, Baron Stuart, who was reviewing documents, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Ask? That word never seemed to fit Camila Walker.

But in recent years, she indeed seemed to have changed a lot.

Even Emily Walker would constantly remind him not to greet her with an Iceberg face every time they met.

Baron Stuart remained silent, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Camila Walker lowered her eyelids slightly, perhaps considering her own behavior today to be somewhat presumptuous, but given how Clayton Howard sold his life for him, Baron Stuart would give her some face, right?

“Recently, could you perhaps assign someone to protect Clayton Howard?”

Baron Stuart raised an eyebrow and regarded the woman before him with a new evaluative look.

Had this previously selfish woman now learned to care for others?

“He doesn’t need it.” With a brief reply, Baron Stuart nodded and continued to flip through his documents.

Camila Walker became anxious, thinking he meant Clayton Howard didn’t need anyone’s protection because he was agile and capable. So she quickly said, “No, he does! Yale Shaw will kill him!”

At these words, Baron Stuart was taken aback, and his frown deepened as he looked up at her.

Camila Walker was somewhat desperate, knowing that the man before her had always disliked her deeply.

“I know you dislike me, but Clayton Howard–he–”

“You’re overthinking it.” Before she could finish her sentence, Baron Stuart interrupted her, “If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”

Clearly, he was still dismissing her.

“Baron Stuart–”

Baron Stuart looked up, his gaze becoming impatient as he regarded her, “Yale Shaw can’t touch him!”

Camila Walker was startled, still unable to grasp the meaning of his words.

“May you leave now?”

Camila Walker was still somewhat dazed, standing there when her cell phone ringtone sounded.

She snapped back to reality and checked the caller ID; it was Clayton Howard calling.

It was time to get off work, and he couldn’t find her in the office.

Watching her retreating back, Baron Stuart couldn’t help but reflect. He had actually offered an explanation to Camila Walker? What an absurd turn of events!

.

Both of them left the Futuren Group together. On the way, Camila Walker sat in the passenger seat, still puzzled by Baron Stuart’s words.

Did he mean that Clayton Howard was beyond Yale Shaw’s reach, or was there something more?

They chose to dine at the Rose Restaurant, but as soon as she arrived, Camila Walker’s mood soured, especially when she saw the Hotel next to the restaurant. Every sight of that hotel reminded her of Yale Shaw’s threats.
