Why are they being brought up now? Outside, Tiffany nodded blankly. The Holland Group was Northlorn's biggest company, sitting comfortably at the top. Of course, she'd heard of them. "Their CEO likes you." Tiffany's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "L-Likes me?!" In the room next door, Roderick's eyes widened just as much. He stared at Cassian in disbelief. You like that girl outside? Cassian's jaw tightened, and he shot Roderick a frosty glare. Roderick quickly turned his head away. Dang, Boss looks like he's about to kill me. Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Natalie nodded sincerely."Yeah, I think it was when you were working part-time as a hostess at some conference. He noticed you there." Tiffany stood frozen, her mind racing back. She had worked a few gigs as a hostess during college, serving drinks at business meetings. Could I really have caught the eye of some big shot? Roderick was even more excited than she was, his gossip senses on high alert. What conference? Which one? How come I don't know about this? Did Boss ever attend a meeting without me? Cassian was speechless. Natalie smirked as she watched Tiffany's reaction and kept going. "So, Mr. Holland found out you were my classmate and sent his assistant to talk to my dad about you. Word is, he wants to marry you in style and make you a wealthy wife."Tiffany's jaw dropped. What? A wealthy marriage is within my reach?! Roderick, still eavesdropping, finally snapped out of it. I never helped Boss look into any pretty girls! Ms. Ashford, you're supposed to be the sensible one—how can you lie so seriously? He stole a glance at Cassian. Cassian stood there expressionless, as if he hadn't heard a thing. But Roderick could feel the chill in the air, like the whole room had turned icy. Tiffany, on the other hand, was thrilled and asked Natalie seriously. "How old is Mr. Holland? What does he look like?" How old is Mr. Holland ... Natalie pondered for a moment. My family's well-off, but we're not on the same level as the Holland Group. Plus, I've always been busy with school and never liked attending those business banquets, so I've actually never met the CEO. But since the Holland Group is Northlorn's biggest company, I'd guess their leader is probably older than my dad. Natalie pictured a powerful, sharp older man in her mind. If she was going to make something up, it had to sound believable. So she said seriously, "The CEO is 58 years old, looks dignified, and doesn't have any bad habits." Roderick was completely baffled. He patted his chest. Good thing I wasn't drinking water or I would've spit it out. He couldn't help sneaking a glance at Cassian, who was 28, in his prime, and ridiculously handsome. Cassian shot him a blank look. Roderick quickly looked away.Out in the hallway, Tiffany frowned. "Fifty-eight?" Natalie looked at her, thinking, Now she's being picky? Does she really think she's Cinderella in some TV drama? I'm unreasonable, I'm nothing special, but the young, handsome CEO just happens to love me? All those elegant heiresses and strong, independent women don't matter—he only wants me ... But in reality, given Tiffany's circumstances, she wouldn't stand a chance with a hotshot CEO, not even an older one. Honestly, if the Holland Group's CEO ever found out Natalie was spreading rumors that he was in love with Tiffany, he'd probably shut down Jacob's business out of sheer rage. Natalie's eyes lit up. That'd be pretty great. She remembered a classic line.The CEO waves his hand. "The weather's getting cold. Time to bankrupt Jacob!" Tiffany noticed Natalie spacing out and waved her hand in front of her. "Natalie?" Natalie snapped back and continued making things up. "Isn't a big age gap a good thing? When that billion-dollar inheritance comes your way, you'll still be young." Natalie knew Tiffany didn't care about romance or handsome guys—she was all about money and status. Sure enough, Tiffany's heart skipped a beat, and her dry face flushed with excitement. Then she suddenly thought of something. "But if it's an inheritance ... wouldn't his kids get a share too?" Natalie was speechless. That's greedy, Tiffany. I was only trying to give her a fake happy ending, but she even has demands for her daydreams.Natalie said impatiently, "He's impotent. So he doesn't have any kids!" ... In the other room, Cassian kept hearing the same words echoing in his ears. He's impotent ... He's impotent ... He's impotent. Roderick nervously glanced back at him, his heart pounding. Ms. Ashford, are you out of your mind?! What guy could stand being called impotent? He looked back and saw that Cassian actually had a faint smile on his lips.
