Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. It was Micah Clemens.

Sadie stiffened, cleared her throat, and then answered nervously, "Hello?" "What are you up to?"

Even initiating the call, Micah's voice was detached.

"Just... spacing out," Sadie replied while lying on the couch, "Something up?"

"I'll handle the suspension when I'm back." Micah sounded all business.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Clemens," Sadie responded cautiously.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" he asked.

After a moment, Sadie ventured, "Goodnight."

There was silence on the other end, and after a few seconds, he hung up.

Sadie was at a loss. What did he expect her to say?

Regardless of whether or not he was a male escort, he must have known about Leah White's scene at the office.

But what of it?

Should she go to him to report the problem, expecting him to stand up for her?

Actually, what she feared the most was him.

Without him, perhaps she wouldn't have so many reservations...

That night, Sadie Roth tossed and turned in her bed, sleep eluding her. Half of the two days had already slipped by, and she was at a loss on how to handle the issue with the Whites. Marry some guy for real?

Micah Clemens would throttle her, wouldn't he?

In a daze, the dawn crept in.

Groggy and half-asleep, Sadie's phone suddenly blared. Squinting, she answered without opening her eyes, "Hello?"

"Sadie, have you seen the news?" Alissa's voice was brimming with excitement.

"What?"

Sadie wasn't fully awake yet, assuming it was something from yesterday's news.

"Your steamy car date with Mr. Potter is all over the internet." Alissa's voice buzzed with thrill. "There's a video, too—oh my, it's scandalous!"

Frozen, it took Sadie a moment to snap back to reality, asking in shock, "A car date? What car date?"

"Girl, the one from last night! You and Mr. Potter, at the beach. A paparazzi got you, and now it's all over online. Everyone at the office is watching..." Hearing this, Sadie was stunned. Could it be Ronan Potter and Arianna?

But why was she being dragged into this?

"I heard the company might let you go, but no worries, you've got Mr. Potter. You're set for life..."

"That's not it, Alissa..."

"Sadie, girl, you've got skills-that video got my blood pumping, haha. I've sent you the link. Check it out ASAP."

Alissa sounded both thrilled and excited, as if discussing great news.

Sadie clicked the link, and her jaw dropped: #ClemensCorp's Mr. Clemens in Secret Rendezvous with Young Mistress#

The news included pictures of them dining together, embracing and kissing in a booth, and sharing a passionate kiss in an elevator...

Strangely, although Ronan Potter's face was crystal clear in all the photos, Arianna's was unrecognizable, with only her hairstyle, figure, and attire vaguely visible. Moreover, the news explicitly named the heroine as a junior secretary from VIC Group!

Weren't they talking about her-Sadie Roth?

She was speechless. It was clearly Arianna, so why was this falling on her?

Others might be oblivious, but those photographers knew perfectly well.

With her heart racing, Sadie Roth clicked on the next link with trepidation: "#Ronan Potter caught in a steamy car rendezvous at the beach with his fling" Videos, photos, and elaborate text descriptions flooded the page.

In the video, Ronan Potter sat in the passenger seat while the leading lady straddled him, their movements synchronized to their passionate indulgence. Ronan's face and physique were unmistakable, but the woman's identity remained obscure.

Only Sadie Roth recognized that woman as Arianna in an instant...

Yet, the news explicitly named the misty-eyed office assistant from VIC Group - Sadie Roth!
