“Alright, let’s do it your way.”
He was willing to give Madeleine that safety net.
Now that she was getting ready to start a company, Madeleine
obviously couldn’t keep doing odd jobs anymore.
On the day she left, all four secretaries‘ eyes were red.
“Chase, will you still come to the company after this?”
Madeleine couldn’t help but laugh.
“Of course I’ll visit often, it’s our family’s company. Besides, I
need to come by regularly to keep an eye on my husband, in
case he’s up to something…”
Before she could finish, Teresa looked indignant.
“Don’t worry, Chase!
We’re watching the CEO. We won’t let him do anything shady
behind your back!”
Madeleine patted her shoulder, pleased.

“With you guys here, I’m not worried.”
She packed up some personal belongings, and Roderick came
over to help her carry them as they left. The four secretaries
leaned against the doorway, looking dejected.
Just then, some other colleagues passed by and looked at
them, confused.
“Why are you all acting like it’s the end of the world now that
Chase is leaving? I thought you all hated her.”
Teresa shot them a look. “What makes you think we hated her?”
“You didn’t? I remember everyone saying Chase was a mole…”
“Watch your mouth. Keep talking like that and we’re telling the
CEO.”
The passing colleagues were immediately frightened into
silence, quickly shoving each other as they hurried away.
As they left, they couldn’t help but mutter, wondering if Daquan
had drugged them.
Sophia: “So, when do you think they’ll catch the mole?”
Olivia: “It’ll be soon. The CEO wouldn’t have the heart to let
Chapter 164
Chase keep taking the blame.”
Teresa: “Yep. It’s just a matter of time.”
A week flew by, and as the end of the month approached,
Bradley’s work finally slowed down a bit.
Seeing he wasn’t scheduled for the next two or three days, he
whistled cheerfully as he left work, ready to go home and get
some good sleep.
After changing out of his white coat and leaving the hospital,
Bradley saw a handsome couple walking toward him.
“You two are haunting me!”
Bradley’s eyes went wide as he looked at them, and he quickly
said in mock terror, “I’ve quit drinking recently, no more for me!”
Getting drunk once meant being laughed at by this couple for
three days. He couldn’t take that kind of punishment anymore.
Madeleine, with her arm linked through Roderick’s, couldn’t help
but laugh when she heard that.
“The way you say that makes it sound like we’re a couple of
drunks who only look for you to go drinking.”

“Then what are you here for?”
“You have the nerve to ask?”
Madeleine had a speechless look on her face. “It’s your fault for
agreeing to that blind date my parents set up. They sent me
here to subtly ask about your preferences.”
Bradley’s mouth twitched.
He’d almost forgotten about that…
“You have to treat us to dinner.”
Madeleine finished speaking, then raised an eyebrow at the
man beside her. “What’s the most expensive place around
here?”
“There’s a rooftop restaurant. Molecular gastronomy. It’s pretty expensive.”
“That’s the one. You go get the car?”
Roderick nodded. “Okay, wait for me here.”
Bradley had a completely baffled expression the whole time.
Wait, what’s going on? Did they just decide he was treating
Chapter 164
them to dinner?
Did he agree to it?
?
Bradley was fuming, glaring at Madeleine through gritted teeth.
“A meal at that place costs half my monthly salary.”
“Oh, come on. If you really lived on your salary, you’d have
starved to death by now.”
Roderick had already spilled the beans about Bradley to
Madeleine. Even though he was a doctor, he had assets worth
over a hundred million and had long achieved financial freedom
through investments.
As the two were talking, a figure darted out from nowhere.
“Bradley…”
Madeleine turned her head in confusion and saw a girl in a knit
cardigan and a beige long skirt approaching.
