Chapter 32
Moura tensed up and instinctively shook her head “No no!” She couldn’t possibly admit that she had dropped her nipple cover.
Virgil gave her a knowing look, the faintest of smirks appearing on his lips. “Good thing you didn’t lose anything. If my boss found your thing, that’d be problematic”
Moira was left speechless, thinking. Why am I so unlucky? No matter how hard I look, I can’t find it!”
The Maybach stopped in front of Dusk Furnishing, and Moira reluctantly opened the door to get out. She wasn’t ready to give up yet. “Do you mind if I check in the back?”
Virgil raised an eyebrow. You really lost something”
Moira hesitated for a moment, then had a sudden idea. “T.. I lost an earring.”
“Alnight, go ahead and look.”
With his pertinen, Moira quickly got out of the car, opened the back door, and leaned in to look. But she had been sitting in the front passenger seat yesterday, so searching here was pointless. She wasn’t going to find it.
A Virgil urged her to hurry, she reluctantly gave up, thinking. It must have fallen outside. Even if someone finds it, they won’t know it is mine. I have to let it go. Time to focus on work.
“Moira“” a voice called out
While waiting for the elevator, she heard her name and turned around to see Baldwin.

It was her third day on the job, and Baldwin had caught her getting to work just in time. Moira felt a little guilty
Baldwin didn’t seem bothered. He smiled and said. “I overslept too” Then he asked, “You probably got home late last night richar
“It was fine, not too late. I usually go to bed around the same time, Moira answered.
Moira had been an assistant to Austin before, so she was used to staying up late and getting up early. Today, she’d just spent a liule extra time making breakfast for two.
“Was your boyfriend the one who dropped you off this morning“”
Yeah”
Moira thought. It is definitely more comfortable to take a car to work than walking out of the neighborhood on foot. It would be great if he can drive me every day.”
“Your boyfriend seems like he’s doing well for himself Baldwin paused, then casually asked, “What does he do?”
“He’s a programmer.”
That was what Jane had told her, based on what Page had said, but she didn’t know which company he worked for. Moira suddenly realized she
ch about Virgil at all
Dans he run his own company!”
he works for someone
The elevator doors opened on the first floor with a soft “ding” Moira stepped inside, with Baldwin following behind, Hoth of them were heading to
“His car looks pretty expensive”
Moura could tell what Baldwin was thinking. To keep him from asking more questions, she quickly explained, “That car isn’t his. It’s his boss’s He was past dropping his boss off and came to pick me up al
afterward.”
Baldwin thought back to the man he had seen with Moura the night before. There was something familiar about him, though he hadn’t gotten a good look – he’d only nouced from a datance. After all, there were plenty of people in the world who looked similar

“What’s your boyfriend’s name?” he continued.
Moira didn’t really like how Baldwin was digging, but since he was her boss, she tried to stay polite. “His name is
is Virgil Adams”
It didn’t seem like there were any wealthy people with the last name Adams in Eldoria. Only then did Baldwin start to relax, realizing he’d probably been overthinking it.
If the guy were really someone powerful, there was no way Moira would be working at his company. With that in mind, Baldwin felt reassured. thinking. I still have a chance.
