Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

"The show is about to begin." Caden Lockwood said, the curve of his smile deepening.

Evelyn was about to ask more when she heard Sean Ashton’s voice at the door, "Boss, the Chairman wants you over."

"All right!" Caden responded, holding Evelyn close again, saying, "Let’s go watch the show!"

"You want me to meet your dad?" Evelyn’s face changed in fear, "No, no! You go alone! I’ll go home with Yvette!"

"No way." Caden shook his head, "You have to come with me."

"But..."

"What are you afraid of with me around?" Caden chuckled, "Besides, I’m the one calling you to go, so it must be something good."

Listening to Caden’s unclear words, Evelyn frowned, feeling very reluctant to meet James Lockwood.

Although Caden would be there, under such ambiguous circumstances, Evelyn thought she would definitely embarrass herself.

But Caden did not heed all that. He got up first and pulled Evelyn up, giving her a light kiss on the forehead, "Relax, I won’t hurt you."

Evelyn was helpless; with Caden insisting like this, what else could she do?

Following Caden to James Lockwood’s office, Evelyn was so nervous that her palms were sweaty.

Upon seeing Evelyn, James Lockwood was initially stunned but quickly regained his composure, though with an oppressively cold demeanor.

Evelyn noticed that Shannon Dunn was also present in the office.

Caden Lockwood tightly held Evelyn’s hand, as if giving her strength, the intention to protect her was clear.

"Here already?" James Lockwood spoke first, "Today Sean told me something very important, I think, you should know?"

"I’m aware." Caden’s tone was factual, "Not only aware, but considering the gravity of the issue, I had him come to you for handling it. After all, isn’t Secretary Dunn your person?"

Evelyn looked at Caden, then at Shannon Dunn.

Shannon stood without speaking, only, her face lacking the usual arrogance, replaced by a trace of defeat.

But Evelyn still did not understand what had specifically happened.

"Mr. Lockwood." Shannon spoke softly, "I think there are some misunderstandings."

"I did not conclude that you did anything." Caden Lockwood didn’t even glance at Shannon, "Everything will be handled by the Chairman."

Shannon couldn’t help but clench her fist, her gaze fallen on the hands tightly held by Caden and Evelyn, her eyes flashing with intense hatred.

"Shannon Dunn." James Lockwood looked at her, "Sean said you’re abusing your power, appearing loyal beside me, but secretly running your own company, and diverting quite a few of our clients to your company. Do you have any explanations for this?"

"Chairman, I do not have any company of my own!" Shannon hurriedly spoke up, "I assume you’ve checked, and the company’s legal person is not me. It’s just my friend’s company, occasionally seeking some business advice, but I have never leaked any Lockwood Group’s secrets!"

"The legal person is indeed not you, but all the decisions are made by you." Caden’s tone was indifferently cool, "Especially the company’s account, which eventually ends up directly in your card!"

"Mr. Lockwood!" Shannon’s face changed, "I know I’ve offended you before, but you don’t have to slander me like this, do you?"
