Chapter 460
Sidney would start his job tomorrow.
Before he left, Aveline walked him to the elevator.
Smiling, she said, “Congratulations!”
Sidney gave a shy smile. “I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made up my mind to pursue my passion.”
Aveline responded, “I just gave you a choice. The outcome is all your own decision, so there’s no need to thank me.
Sidney took out his phone. “Can I add you on WhatsApp? We’ll be colleagues from now on, and it’ll be easier to contact you.”
“Sure.”
Aveline nodded in agreement and took out her phone, letting him scan her QR code.
After they added each other, the elevator arrived. Sidney stepped inside and waved goodbye to her.
Aveline returned to the office, where Maria was leaning against her desk, looking at her with amusement. “What’s going on?”
Aveline looked at her, puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Maria pointed her chin towards the door, indicating Sidney. “You and him…?”
Aveline smiled helplessly. “You’re overthinking it. He’s just my friend.”
Maria let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief and then said, “He does have talent. Since he’s your friend, you should help guide him.”
Aveline nodded. “No problem.”
That was her intention anyway.
After work in the evening.
Aveline stayed late, working until 9:30 PM. By the time she left, the sky had

turned completely dark.
She went to the roadside to hail a cab.
“Miss Young!”
At that moment, a familiar voice called out.
Aveline turned and saw Sidney standing not far away, smiling as he walked towards her.
“This is for you.”
He handed her a delicate box, his smile bright.
Aveline was curious. “What’s this?”
Sidney, a bit embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, “You helped me a lot, and I didn’t know how to repay you. I know girls like sweets, so I bought you a small cake. I hope you don’t mind. When I start making money, I’ll definitely treat you to a bigger and better cake!”
Aveline looked at him and smiled helplessly. “I’ve told you, you don’t need to thank me. You earned this through your own abilities.”
Sidney stubbornly held out the box. “Miss Young, it’s just a small cake. You don’t actually dislike it, do you?”
Seeing his insistence, Aveline couldn’t refuse anymore. She took the box. ” Alright, I’ll accept it. But don’t buy me any more cakes in the future.”
“Okay!”
Sidney nodded, smiling brightly as he gazed at her.
Just then, a taxi arrived.
Aveline quickly hailed it. “I’m leaving now. You should head back too. Be safe!”
“Alright!”
Sidney watched her leave, only looking away after the car disappeared around the corner.
Unbeknownst to them, someone had taken a picture of the scene.

Aveline returned to the Tudor residence. As soon as she entered the living room, she sensed a different atmosphere.
A cold, oppressive air lingered, spreading a faint chill.
On the balcony, a tall man was smoking. Dressed in casual clothes, he still exuded a cool and indifferent aura.
Aveline glanced at him briefly before heading upstairs.
Moments later, she heard footsteps quickly following her.
As Aveline entered her bedroom, Lucas suddenly pinned her against the door.
The sharp scent of tobacco mixed with his fresh, clean smell overwhelmed her
senses.
