Darcy had just finished grilling some meat and was biting into a juicy sausage skewer when she was called over with cheers. "Ms. Gale! Come play! Truth or Dare!" Her easygoing personality meant most employees weren't really afraid of her. Now, laughing and calling her over, they felt even less pressure. Darcy was helpless. She was about to refuse when someone else shouted, "Mr. Blackwood, you should come too!" Darcy's eyes widened. Oh, you kids have some guts! She smiled, "They can get a bit rowdy. You don't have to—" Before she could finish, Jethro stood up, brushing the crease off his pants. "Let's go." Darcy was speechless. The rules were simple. Spin an empty bottle on the ground. Whoever the neck pointed at played, choosing Truth or Dare. An old game, but with the big boss joining, everyone was pumped. Gossip about the wealthy? Spectators love that! Unfortunately, the first spin landed on Wade. Wade chuckled, raising his hand without hesitation. "Truth!" Someone asked mischievously, "Mr. Mason, what's more important to you— code or your wife?" Wade glared. "My wife, of course! She's my first love. We've been together since high school!" "Wow!" His answer earned admiring sighs from the women. "So sweet!" The bottle spun again, landing next in front of Frank. Frank chose Dare without blinking. Someone tossed out a wicked idea. "Kiss the person here you find most attractive. A real kiss!" Frank instinctively glanced at Darcy, his face immediately flushing. Darcy, lost in thought, didn't notice his look. But Jethro did. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raising a brow at Frank. Frank felt a chill, unsure what the boss meant. "Come on, kiss! Kiss!" the crowd urged. Frank steeled himself, grabbed the face of the male colleague next to him, and planted a quick peck. "Whoa! Dude, I thought we were buddies! You—" The shocked colleague kicked him hard. That explosive moment passed quickly because the next spin landed on Jethro. The whole area fell silent. A usually timid UI designer girl suddenly found her courage. She looked at Jethro and asked, "Mr. Blackwood, you're almost 30. Why aren't you married yet? Don't tycoons usually marry in their twenties? Is there someone in your heart? You know, like the 'first love' they always have in novels?" Her question revealed her true intent. A few tipsy people, speaking without filter, laughed, "You should just ask if you're his type." "Stop talking nonsense!" the girl snapped, but her eyes darted to the casually seated Jethro before she bit her lip and looked down. Jethro didn't seem offended, maintaining a faint smile. "That's three questions. I'll answer one." The girl bit her lip. "The second one, then." Jethro's gaze swept past Darcy's profile. He nodded. "Yes." The girl's shoulders slumped immediately. Her voice went flat. "Oh... okay." Someone nearby whispered, "Don't be sad. Even if Mr. Blackwood didn't have someone in mind, he wouldn't go for you."The girl was left speechless. Great pep talk, thanks. Darcy looked down, her knuckles gripping the beer cup turning white. So he already has someone in his heart. Good thing I was sensible. The game continued, but Darcy's mind had already drifted. She quietly withdrew and walked toward the beach. Alone with the sea breeze, to calm her thoughts. Behind her, Jethro stood watching from a distance. He was about to approach when Cindy ran over, clutching her phone. "Darcy, bad news!" Darcy frowned. "What's wrong?" Cindy was out of breath. "While you were playing, I called my cousin to ask about the evidence. His attitude did a complete 180! He said he was just joking before, that Zora's degrees are legit, her character is fine..."This jerk completely backtracked! I'm so mad!" Darcy was also surprised. But she quickly started thinking. Why would Jasper deny his earlier claims? After a moment, she could only guess, "Could Zora have something on him?" Cindy narrowed her eyes. "You mean Zora threatened him into silence?" But what leverage could Zora possibly have over Jasper? The two families had no contact for years. Cindy only called her cousin occasionally. She knew nothing about their actual life in Kaloria.
