Without needing me to urge it, Freya darted off in another direction. I knew exactly what it was planning because there was a cave in that direction. Maybe we could hide in there for a while. Before Freya squeezed into the cave, I had it stop for a moment, using its claws to scratch a few marks on a nearby tree. I was worried that if the snow blocked the cave's entrance, it could flood the whole place. So, I had to leave a signal for help. Freya scratched a few more trees before dashing into the cave. Just a few seconds later, a heavy snowfall rushed down the mountain, sealing the entrance. Everything went pitch black. Caden's POV: As night deepened, I was still working late in my office. For some reason, my mood was unsettled, a feeling of unease that I'd never had before. I paused my work and called Leslie. "Hello Leslie, how is Grandpa?" Leslie's respectful voice came through the phone, "Mr. Caden, Alpha is fine. Dr. Williamson just checked his room, and everything looks normal." Grandpa is fine. Then where is this unease coming from? After hanging up with Leslie, the feeling didn't fade. If anything, it grew stronger. I loosened my tie, sank back into the sofa, and closed my eyes to rest. As soon as I closed my eyes, Rosaline's graceful figure unexpectedly appeared in my mind. The thought of Rosaline moving into Jasper's house made me feel awful. I pulled out my phone, noticing that there were far fewer gossip stories about Rosaline and Jasper now. It was obvious that Starplay Entertainment had had them removed.Hmph. If she isn't guilty, why would she have someone take them down? I remembered when Rosaline was falsely accused of pushing Stella into water, and despite being smeared so terribly, she remained calm and unfazed. Is Rosaline with Jasper now? I stood up, restless, planning to leave. As I passed by the Secretariat, I found myself drawn to it and walked over. The large office was dark, except for a dim light in the corner. My heart thumped ferociously. That dim light was at Rosaline's desk. After Rosaline handed me her resignation earlier that day, she had left. Over the past few days, whenever I'd passed by the secretariat, her seat had always been empty. Has she come back? Unable to resist, I stepped into the light. There, sitting at the desk, was a girl in a red dress, her head lowered. I looked down from above, only seeing the top of her head. Is it Rosaline? Has she come back? I held my breath, softly calling, "Rosaline." The girl at the desk raised her head, speaking gently, "Caden?" It was Tessa, not Rosaline. I felt a pang of disappointment and asked quietly, "Tessa, why are you here? It's so late—what are you doing?" Tessa stood up and smiled at me. "Caden, I just joined the company. I don't know much, so I need to learn. I don't want people to gossip, and I don't want to embarrass you." "It's late; you should head home and rest." I glanced at her and advised. Tessa lowered her eyes. "What about you? Why haven't you gone home yet? Earlier, you mistook me for Ms. Sinclair. Are you still thinking about her?""No, it's just that this is Rosaline's seat, and I thought it was her." I turned away, pretending I didn't care. "I see." Tessa took a sip from her cup. "I saw online that Rosaline and Jasper are living together now. Caden, you should stop thinking about her." I frowned. "Tessa, I'll take you home." Later, I drove Tessa to an old neighborhood. I hadn't expected her to live in such a modest place, so I decided to find her a new home. "Tessa, I'll have someone find you a new place tomorrow," I said. Tessa looked down, speaking softly, "No, Caden, I'm fine here." I knew this was her character, so I didn't press the issue. I simply opened the car door for her to get out. I would arrange a better place for her; after all, she had saved me years ago. "Caden, come inside and have a coffee," Tessa pursed her lips, speaking gently. "No, it's late. You should get some rest," I refused, my voice calm. For some reason, Rosaline's face flashed in my mind. Tessa didn't react to my refusal, still smiling brightly. "Okay, you should get some rest too. Thanks for bringing me home. Goodnight." I watched Tessa walk up the stairs before returning to my car and turning to leave. As I drove, I realized that I wasn't heading back home, but I was on my way to Elderwood. I sighed at my own subconscious actions. The gossip magazines had snapped photos in Elderwood. I knew Jasper had bought an apartment here, on the 18th floor. Since I was already here, I parked the car below and looked up at the 18th-floor windows.
