Zoe scratched her head and suggested, "Ms. Zeller, how about we call it Cutic?"
Lucas' eye twitched. He was getting on in years and couldn't understand calling a puppy Cutie. Yvette nodded in agreement. She said, "Sure, let's call it Cutie, thank you."
Lucas was speechless.
At 5 p.m., Jeremiah arrived precisely at the entrance of the Chambers Group, right at quitting time.
The employees, especially the female ones, couldn't help but brighten up at the sight of Jeremiah. They thought, 'Where does this incredibly handsome guy come from?
'These TV shows with cheesy, over-the-top CEOs should take a look at him-this is what a real CEO looks like. His aura of a mature man shines from within. Just standing there, he captures everyone's attention. When Yvette and Lucas were leaving the company, they noticed Jeremiah at the entrance. He stood out too much in the crowd to go unnoticed.
When the Chambers Group employees saw Yvette, they all stopped and greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Zeller!"
Jeremiah stepped forward and made his presence known in front of everyone. In a low voice, he said, "It's chilly tonight. Wear this coat." Then, he placed the jacket he had ready over Yvette's shoulders.
This scene caused a buzz among the Chambers Group employees. Anyone watching could see that he was Yvette's boyfriend.
They remarked inside, 'Oh my, they are truly meant to be together, a perfect match made in heaven, both talented and beautiful.'
A female employee looked at Yvette and Jeremiah with envy. She said to the woman beside her, "Ms. Zeller's boyfriend is so handsome. He must be some wealthy heir.
"Did you see that watch on his wrist? It's an LV century limited edition, starting at least in the eight figures, maybe even
nine."
This number took aback others nearby. They thought, 'How many downtown apartments could that watch buy? The life of the wealthy is truly something we working folks can only dream of!
A man smirked in disbelief and said, "This guy clearly comes from a well-off family, relying on his parents."
Everyone who heard this quickly distanced themselves from him. They thought, 'Seriously? That's Ms. Zeller's boyfriend? How could he say something so thoughtless?'
Seeing Jeremiah act like that, Luca understood Jeremiah's intention. He thought, 'Mr. Chavez is clever. The news that Ms. Zeller has a boyfriend will probably spread all over the Chambers Group by tomorrow. After all, gossip is the fastest thing on earth. Jeremiah glanced around at the people nearby. They all instinctively lowered their heads.
Yvette glanced at Jeremiah's coat on her shoulders and calmly said, "Let's go."
Once they left, the employees at the company entrance let out a deep sigh of relief. They thought, "The aura of Ms. Zeller's boyfriend is something we can't handle.
Jeremiah was driving the car. Yvette was in the front passenger seat, while Lucas was alone in the back.

Jeremiah kept one hand on the steering wheel and turned his head slightly, asking, "What did you
do today?"
Yvette tore open a bag of chips, pursed her lips, and lazily said, "Just dealt with a few people.
Jeremiah chuckled, knowing that Yvette's version of "dealing with a few people" probably wasn't as straightforward as it sounded.
When Lucas heard Yvette's words, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. If he hadn't been on the scene to witness what happened himself, he might have been fooled by Yvette's casual demeanor. 40%2
Lucas couldn't hold back and said, "Mr. Chavez, you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it. Ms. Zeller was incredible today; she dealt with a man who abandoned his family and solved a long-standing problem for Mr. Chambers." Lucas looked at Yvette with admiration. He was now her biggest fan.
Yvette glanced back at Lucas coolly. She wondered if she should tell Lucas that his smile was quite odd, and maybe he should tone it down since it was a bit scary.
After thinking momentarily, she decided against it; considering Lucas's age, she didn't want to hurt his feelings. So Yvette lowered her gaze and continued to munch on her chips leisurely
As soon as Eucas caught Yvette's glance, he was overjoyed. He thought, 'She must have noticed the admiration in my eyes.
Jeremiah heard Lucas's words and smiled calmly. He knew that Yvette always ensured that her actions were decisive and fatal.
At the entrance of the Chambers residence, Lucas got out of the car and bowed slightly to Jeremiah and Yvette. He respectfully asked, "Ms. Zeller, are you not returning tonight?"
Yvette nodded.
Before Lucas could say anything else, Jeremiah said "Goodbye" and rolled up the car window, leaving Lucas puzzled as the car sped off like an arrow. Lucas could only see the car's taillights in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Zachary's voice called behind, asking, "Where's Yvette? Was Jeremiah driving just now?"
Lucas finally understood why Jeremiah was so eager to leave. It was because Zachary had arrived.
Lucas turned around and said, "Mr. Chambers, it was Mr. Chavez and Ms. Zeller who brought me back. They have a date tonight, and Ms. Zeller won't be coming back this evening."
Upon realizing the situation, Zachary rushed inside to make a call. He was determined to get Yvette back and not let that troublemaker Jeremiah get his way.
Zachary had no idea that Jeremiah had not only succeeded but also ended up being at a disadvantage.
In the car, Yvette rested her chin in her hand. With a playful smile on her lips, she said, "You did that on purpose."
Jeremiah's hand hesitated slightly on the wheel as he was set on pretending he didn't know what was happening. He asked innocently, "On purpose? What do you mean?" His face remained calm. Yvette looked indifferent. Her stunning face was quite captivating. She said, "Then take me back."
Jeremiah looked at Yvette, who had that "try denying it, see what happens" look on her face, and bit his lip. He was never a match for Yvette's wit, but somehow, he didn't mind losing to her at all. Jeremiah admitted, "Yes, I did it on purpose."
Yvette smiled, thinking it would have been better if he had just confessed from the start.
