At without lingering.Upon her arrival at Evelyna Fashion Group, Evelyn noticednoted a markedsignificant increase in the staff since her last visit, indicating significant . The expansion was a testament to the company's growth.
She was pleased, thinking, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. Sarah and Luke were truly capable, certainly proving themselves to be more than capable, perhaps even more so than she was.
"Sarah," Evelyn called out, entering as she entered the office to find her putting. Sarah was just setting down somea stack of paperwork.
, and at Evelyn's voice, she looked up."Back already?" Sarah stood, and theyasked, standing to greet her. They both took seats on the plush couch.
, settling into the familiar rhythm of their work relationship.Evelyn nodded with a, her smile: warm. "You were modest before, claiming you couldn't handle such a large company. Doesn't seem so tough now, does it?"
"It's not my doing," Sarah didn't shook her head, refusing to take undue credit but said,. "It's not my doing," she confessed. "It's all Luke's work—I'm mainly focused on the fashion design aspect."
The Evelyn wasn't surprised. She had entrusted the operational affairs of the group were left to Luke, since Evelyn had placed her trust in him; naturally,and Sarah did the same.
Evelyn was surprised to hearhad followed suit. Hearing about Luke's diligent efforts.
, however, was a pleasant surprise. "Even though he had ulterior motives at first, and perhaps he still does, one thing's for sure,: he's undeniably capable," Sarah commented.
Evelyn agreed. That was the reason shefound herself agreeing. She had gone to great lengths to convince Luke to stay, to dropabandon his vendetta, and to defy Benjamin's orders and pursue in pursuit of his own goals.

Evelyn She had been planningintended to catch up with Luke, only to learnbut found out he wasn’twasn't in at the office today. Tothat day. It didn't bother her, it was no big deal whether he showed up to work or not. As long as he got the job done, she wouldn’t care if he never set foot in the office again.
Luke, despite being the CEO, had rented a house close to Evelyn Walker Fashion Group, despite being the CEO. He wasn’t exactly rolling in dough; the . His salary Evelyn paid him barely covered his rent.
He wasn’t, but he wasn't bothered by his financial situation. At the moment, though, his expression What did bother him, however, was one of annoyance as he stared at thethe unexpected visitor. “ at his door. "What are you doing here?”
“?" he asked, his expression one of annoyance."What am I doing here?”?" Benjamin retorted, furious, “his voice seething with anger. "I’m your father, and this is how you speak to me?”
He worried he’d die?"Benjamin felt a surge of frustration caused by his. His sons. One were a constant source of trouble. Dermot was troubledifficult enough, and now Luke was exhibiting the same defiant streak. Why did all his sons have to be so headstrong?
Luke frowned, equally irritated: “his irritation matching his father's. "Aren’t you staying at the Doyal Mansion? What brought you to Columbia out of the blue?”
“?""It’s your fault. Dermot convinced Grandpa Doyle to kick me out.”," Benjamin clenchedspat out, his teeth clenched at the mention of Dermot. He regretted not dealing with him when he was younger. If he had, he wouldn’t have been cast out from the Doyle family, nor would he be left with nothing now.
