Chapter 21 " I didn't … " Kaneeta explained instinctively . She suddenly realized that ever since she had met Woodrow , he had never been particularly gentle with her , but he had always been polite and mild - mannered . It seemed that the only times he was displeased were when he thought she wasn't taking care of her own health . After thinking for a moment , she continued to explain , " I'm not risking my life for anyone . It's just that the project I'm in charge of is in its final stage , and there are still some things that need to be handled . I want to see it through to the end - it's also my responsibility to the team members who have worked hard with me . And … " Kaneeta lowered her eyes and said softly , " I'll resign after this project is finished ." Woodrow's expression seemed to soften a little . He seemed about to say something , but Kaneeta added , " I'm really fine . What happened this morning was just due to some special reason , but I'm completely okay now ! " Chapter Although , explaining all this to Woodrow did feel a bit strange . But looking at him , she couldn't help but feel that she needed to put his mind at ease . Woodrow frowned slightly , but seeing the seriousness in Kaneeta's expression , he ultimately chose to respect her wishes . " Get in the car ." On the way to the Kuntz Group , Woodrow remained silent , and Kaneeta was quiet as well . It wasn't until they were almost at the Kuntz Group that she finally spoke : " Mr. Hartwell , thank you so much for saving me this morning , and for treating me to such a delicious breakfast . When I return to Roseburn , let me treat you to a meal . " She knew perfectly well that a single meal could never repay such a big favor , but if she said too much now , it would only sound empty and insincere . Once she was back in Roseburn , she would find an opportunity to repay him . " When are you going back ?" Woodrow asked . " The fifteenth of next month ." Woodrow's expression was calm : " That's perfect . I'm going back that day as well . Let's go together ." " You're leaving on the fifteenth too ? " Kaneeta was surprised . Woodrow had come to Calchester for business - was he really staying that long ? " Yes , my private jet will depart from Calchester Airport at noon on the fifteenth next month ," Woodrow said . " Just go straight to the airport then . " Kaneeta was just about to speak when Woodrow added , " Even if you weren't coming , my plane would still be flying from Calchester to Roseburn on the fifteenth . Giving you a lift makes no difference to me , so you don't need to feel like you owe me another favor . " " Since he put it that way , Kaneeta couldn't refuse any further . " Alright , I'll be there on time . Thank you in advance , Mr. Hartwell ." As she finished speaking , the car had already stopped in front of the Kuntz Group building . Kaneeta said goodbye to Woodrow and got out of the car . Watching her figure disappear into the building , Woodrow finally instructed the driver to drive on , then made a phone call . " Change my return flight to the fifteenth of next month ." The assistant on the other end was momentarily stunned : " Are you sure ? The original plan was to return the day after tomorrow ." " Yes ." Having received a definite answer , the assistant dared not ask further and quickly agreed . *** At that moment , in his office , Edmund was staring at his phone screen with a dark expression. On the screen was a piece of news just released by a gossip media outlet . " Hartwell family heir in Roseburn's relationship exposed ? Seen behaving intimately with a mysterious woman . " The news included two candid photos : one of Woodrow and a woman walking side by side into what looked like a restaurant , and another of the two talking by a car . In fact , the woman's face wasn't clearly shown in either photo- one was taken from behind , and the other only showed a small part of her profile . But that was enough for Edmund to recognize that the woman in the photos was Kaneeta . Maybe it was just the angle , but in the photo of her and Woodrow talking by the car , they really did look quite close . What exactly was going on between the two of them ? " Ed , don't be angry , " Nyasia stood to the side , trying hard to hide the gloating on her face . " Ms. Drayton probably just got a little confused . After all , Mr. Hartwell did save her this morning . " " So what if he saved her ? Does that mean she has to get so close to another man ? " Edmund's face grew even darker . " I think she's forgotten her place - she's my woman ! " Nyasia frowned . At first , she had been rather pleased , thinking Edmund would definitely have a fight with Kaneeta , but now , she suddenly felt a sense of crisis . Why was Edmund reacting so strongly ? Was Kaneeta really that important to him ? No , it must just be a matter of male pride . The more Edmund thought about it , the angrier he became . He was just about to call Kaneeta when he suddenly heard a knock at the door . " Come in , " Edmund said impatiently . But to his surprise , it was Kaneeta who walked in . Kaneeta had just arrived at the company and had a document that urgently needed Edmund's signature , so she brought it over . Seeing that Nyasia was also there , she showed no surprise . She simply walked up to Edmund's desk , placed the document in front of him , and said in a businesslike tone , " Mr. Kuntz , this document needs your signature . " After she finished speaking , she noticed that Edmund had no intention of looking at the document at all . Instead , he was staring at her intently , a flicker of anger in his eyes . Kaneeta frowned slightly . What was wrong with Edmund now ? " When did Ms. Drayton arrive at the company ? " Nyasia said sarcastically from the side . " I thought you were still with Mr. Hartwell ." " Kaneeta , you'd better give me an explanation ! "
