Upon hearing this, a glimmer appeared in Michael's eyes.

"Really?" He restrained his emotions as much as possible, and his thin lips slowly curved upward. "Which company has such great insight to discover your company?" Eva looked at him with complex eyes.

Sensing her gaze, Michael's uneasiness grew. "What's wrong?"

"It's him who invested."

Even someone as composed as Michael stepped on the brakes and parked the car by the roadside.

Eva was startled and turned to look.

Fortunately, there were no cars behind them. Otherwise, with his abrupt braking, a rear-end collision would have surely occurred.

After the car stopped, Michael sat there and took a deep breath, quickly regaining his calm state.

"Really?"

Seeing his unusual behavior, Eva nodded hesitantly.

"Well, are you okay? Should I drive?"

"Eva, it's not necessary." Michael started the car again and explained softly, "I overreacted just now. I just didn't expect him to do this. Did I scare you?"

"Not really, it's just that next time you encounter such a situation, you can't brake so abruptly. Luckily, there was no car behind us, or we would've had a rear-end collision today. It's quite dangerous." "Okay, I was wrong this time. I'll remember."

Michael easily admitted his mistake and apologized to Eva.

Eva breathed a sigh of relief. That's one thing about Michael that is great.

He doesn't care about his face and is willing to admit his mistakes, always accommodating her in everything.

If Adrian had done this today, he would have undoubtedly scoffed after saying such things to her, saying, "Are you afraid that I'll get into trouble? Don't worry, even if someone has to die, it will be me before you." Despite not seeing each other for five years, the expression and tone he had when encountering such situations could easily come to her mind.

Eva shook her head to get rid of those messy thoughts and images.

After arriving at the company, Eva quickly grabbed her bag and got out of the car.

"Thank you for driving me here. Be careful on the way."

After finishing her words, Eva turned and left. But she didn't walk far before she heard the sound of a car door closing behind her. When she turned around, she saw Michael walking towards her. "Let's go, I'll accompany you to take a look," he said. Eva's red lips twitched.

"What? I haven't visited your company since it opened, and now I want to go up and take a look. Am I not welcome?"

"Of course not," Eva tugged at her lips.

"Let's go then."

The two of them entered the elevator together. "What were you going to tell me before the phone call?"

Michael suddenly asked in the quiet elevator. Upon hearing this, Eva's nerves tightened. What was she going to say?

"I forgot, should we wait until this matter is resolved before discussing it?" she replied just as the elevator doors opened.

Eva, preoccupied with the investment, didn't think much of it and walked out directly when the elevator doors opened. Michael stood in the elevator, and his eyes beneath the lenses flickered with a deep gloom.

If he didn't remember incorrectly, the exact words she said were: If you're willing... What comes after 'willing'? It should have been what he wanted to hear, but unfortunately, it was interrupted by this phone call. As the elevator doors were about to close, Michael stepped out slowly.

Eva pushed open the door and saw a man wearing glasses, dressed in a well-tailored suit, sitting across from Tim. He had a briefcase next to him, holding a document and discussing something with Tim. Upon hearing the noise, both of them stopped and turned to look at her.

Tim stood up and nodded towards her. "Boss, this is Brent, the representative of the Blackwood business," Tim introduced. When Jacob saw Eva's face, he suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock.

He had been wondering how Mr. Blackwood could suddenly make such a confusing move, so Jacob had his doubts. He even called his cousin to ask, but his cousin advised him not to ask too much and just focus on his work, as there would eventually be answers to everything. And now the answer was right in front of him.

All of Jacob's doubts were explained when he saw Eva's face. He had thought everything was fine, so how could Mr. Blackwood suddenly want to invest in a small company? The reason was right here.

Seeing someone investing, Tim was clearly in a good mood, smiling as he greeted Eva.

"Boss..." he was about to speak, but then he saw a handsome man with gold-rimmed glasses following behind Eva. This man had a gentle and elegant demeanor.

Tim's words froze on his lips. Although the man appeared gentle, his presence was powerful. As soon as he entered the room, his gaze swept across everyone, passing by Tim and finally landing on Jacob, filled with curiosity and scrutiny. How could Tim, who had climbed the ranks in management for many years, not see the aura of a top executive like Michael? Especially since he was following closely behind Eva.

Eva could immediately tell from their interaction that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary. So, she quickly closed her mouth, understanding the situation.

"Hello," Eva walked up and shook hands with Jacob.

Jacob nervously and awkwardly extended his hand, feeling as stiff as a wooden post. He muttered, "Hello."

Watching Eva up close, Jacob felt like he had been hit by her beauty. No wonder his cousin had thought Mr. Blackwood's ex-wife was a goddess. He had initially thought his cousin was exaggerating, but when he saw her photo, he was completely shocked.

Now, seeing her in person, Jacob instantly felt that the photo only captured one percent of her beauty. She was truly stunning.

Jacob withdrew his hand, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Eva raised her lips slightly and asked softly, "Sorry, may I ask where Mr. Blackwood is?"

"Mr. Blackwood? He didn't come today."

Jacob found this strange too. Why would he be sent instead? Mr. Blackwood didn't show up himself yet still helped others behind the scenes.

After thinking for a moment, Eva decided to be more direct, "So where is he now?"

She would just go replace him herself.

"Hansen, does Ms. Hansen want to replace our Mr. Blackwood?"

After asking, Jacob took out his phone and muttered, "Then I'll give our Mr. Blackwood a call."

But before he could make the call, Eva's fair and beautiful hand held his phone.

"No need to tell him. He knows me. Just tell me where he is."

As Eva's hand moved, her fingertips brushed against Jacob's hand, causing his face to instantly turn red. As a single man, he was flustered by such a touch. "Okay..."

Jacob stuttered and reluctantly gave Eva Adrian's address. His ears turned red almost to the point of bleeding.

Eva, completely focused on the address, didn't notice his embarrassment.

"Thank you."

Afterward, she glanced at the information of the two men and asked, "How did your conversation go?"

Tim blinked, glanced at Eva, then at Michael, and finally weakly replied, "I agreed to this good opportunity even before you arrived."
