Ophelia, lost in thought earlier, turned to look at him, her gaze somewhat nk.
Keh paused in wiping his hair and tossed the towel aside. Aw, enticing chuckle escaped his lips.
"Heh... what are you looking at?" asked Keh.
"Hmm?" As Ophelia finished speaking, Keh in front of her soddenly leaned in, and a fresh, minty scent from his body wash surrounded her.
Keh had been taking some medicine that Ronin sent over the past few days, and asionally, his vision would clear up briefly.
He lowered his gaze, about to let his kissnd...
Ophelia slightly leaned back, avoiding it.
"I need to ask you something," Ophelia said seriously.
"What did you promise Xander? Why did he give me thend development right so happily? Hmm?" Ophelia mimicked his usual tone, her clear eyes fixed on him. Instead of going in circles, it was better to just ask frankly.

"Once Noah finished his inspection and report, the approval naturally came through."
"No way!" Ophelia eximed.
It couldn''t be as easy as he said.

Keh frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "I also promised him I''d support him unconditionally in the next leadership election."
"Is that all?"
"What else?" Keh responded calmly, his eyes steady on Ophelia in front of him.
"Alright," Ophelia replied.
For now, she decided to trust his words.
The next day.
The next day, Ophelia received a message from Cody. Those people worked quickly and had already begun following her solution to settle the slum residents.
The sick were provided with medical care, the elderly were ced temporarily in nursing homes, children were sent to welfare centers, and healthy adults were given jobs and housing solutions.
In the morning, Ophelia went to the designpany and met Chloe.
Chloe had learned from Noah what had happened since they began finding the poison bug, so she didn''t ask more questions.
"I haven''t congratted you on your marriage yet. Here''s a wedding gift Wyatt chose for you," said Chloe.
It was a pair of super etre little dinosaur keychains.

One of the little dinosaurs had an arrogant expression, much like Keh'' demeanor, while the other was blushing, looking adorably sweet.
Thanks, please thank Wyatt for me and tell him I love it," Ophelia epted it dly.
She organized the documents on the desk and handed them to Chloc.
''Chloe, here''s thepany''s development n, and some evening gowns I designed in my spare time. Additionally, I''ve bought the apartment that you and Wyatt live in, and it''s now yours. I wanted to buy you a bigger house, but my resources were limited." Chloe looked serious and didn''t take it..
"Elia, you..."
Her words just now sounded like a goodbye.
"Thank you, Chloe. I know what you''re going to ask, and yes. I''ve made up my mind. Just in case..." She chuckled softly, her expression remained rxed.
She didn''t hope for such a ''what if, but she always prepared for the worst.
She also had to be ountable for the people of the
Company.
"There''s one more thing I might need your help with."
It was about the redevelopment project in the slums.
She had already handed over the construction blueprints and detailed ns to Cody and his team. With additional personnel sent by Keh to assist, and as long as things go normally, the slum can be developed smoothly. However, if any tough decisions needed to be made, or if there was a need to support the interests of the people in the slum, someone would need to step in and offer help.
"Don''t worry, Elia. Your concerns are my concerns," Chloe assured.
The redevelopment of the slums wasn''t something she could handle on her own.
Chloe wanted to say more, but when she met Ophelia''s determined gaze, she fell silent.
Not a word of persuasion could leave her lips.
Emotion was such a thing that could only be understood by those who had gone through them. She was just like that at that time.
She just hoped Mr. Sinir''s surgery would go well, and that Elia would return safely.
