“Who might you be?”

“Hello, Ms.

Burton.

My name is Kurt Newman, Mr.

Shaw’s special assistant,” the visitor introduced himself.

Upon hearing his introduction, she courteously ushered him into the living room.

“Kyson sent you, then? How may I assist you today?”

Kurt explained, “Mr.

Shaw sent me to check on the situation here.

After surveying the scattered suitcases, his gaze settled on the driver and bodyguard who were engrossed in their phones on the sofa.

They remained seated even as he approached.

With a stern expression, Kurt reprimanded them.

“Mr.

Shaw expected you to assist Ms.

Burton.

How dare you behave as though she’s here to serve you?”

The driver and bodyguard quickly stowed their phones, stood up, and gave him their full attention.

Dulcie, looking sheepish, interjected, “Please, it’s not their fault.

I prefer to handle my belongings myself and didn’t require their help, which is why I suggested they rest.

Kurt responded decisively, “Ms.

Burton, there’s no need for excuses.

They were instructed specifically by Mr.

Shaw to assist.

Even if you chose to pack yourself, they should have been preparing to transport your luggage to the car.

Their failure to act as directed could merit docking their pay or even dismissal.

“Mr.

Newman, wait! We’ll take the suitcases down immediately,” the driver and bodyguard exclaimed.

They promptly gathered Dulcie’s suitcases and carried them downstairs as instructed.

Left with little choice, Dulcie murmured, “Well… Thank you.

Kurt nodded, leaned closer, and whispered, “Ms.

Burton, brighter days lie ahead for you.

Dulcie managed a forced smile and muttered, “Thanks.

Kurt then revealed more.

“You might not be aware, but Phillis Perez orchestrated a scheme against you recently.

Consequently, Mr.

Shaw has been actively engaging with the Perez Group, resulting in the termination of several significant contracts.

The Payne Group has also applied pressure, leading to substantial losses for the Perez family…”

As Dulcie absorbed the information, Kurt continued, well aware of the impact of his words.

He had been a close observer of all Kyson had done on her behalf, detailing how he had instructed Koby to discipline Phillis.

The revelations left Dulcie increasingly astonished.

Kyson had taken dramatic steps against the Perez family for her-how could this be?

Dulcie hadn’t anticipated Kyson’s gesture.

After all, the Perez family was affluent and distinguished.

Wouldn’t gaining an additional ally be preferable to another enemy?

She speculated if Kyson might be the obstinate type.

Maybe he harbored feelings for her but opted to feign indifference.

Or perhaps he was troubled by something, hence intentionally neglecting her.

She hoped her speculation was true.

“I understand.

I’ll express my gratitude to him in person.

Thank you for being straightforward.

“Sure.

” Kurt’s smile radiated warmth.

“Ms.

Burton, I’ve heard you’re currently seeking employment.

If you ever require assistance, feel free to reach out.

Here’s my contact information.
