Chapter 404
Walter was fed up. He had to find solid proof that Mingle was actually Julia, to get that disgraceful woman out of his and Evangeline’s life for good!
Walter had made up his mind the moment his feelings for Minnie shifted. There was no way he had let what happened at the cafe occur again.
“Boss, they were out of your favorite cream of chicken and rice soup, so I grabbed some creamy wheat cereal instead…” David, carrying the takeout dinner, was rushing back to the office and mumbling to himself when he caught sight of the scene in front of him.
The creamy wheat cereal he was holding dropped suddenly, spilling everywhere.
Did he just see his boss and Minnie wrapped up in an embrace?
The thud of the packing box echoed loudly in the deserted office, jolting Minnie out of her cozy moment with Walter. She let out a shriek, realizing who had just walked in.
“Ah!” Like she had been zapped by a bolt of lightning, Minnie leaped off Walter and scrunched up, ducking behind him for cover.
Her move screamed panic, but David, who had just entered, could not spot a hint of actual fear. Instead, Minnie’s clingy hide–and–seek behind the big boss came off as cutesy and docile.
Had she finally gotten her way?
David had been Walter’s right–hand man for ages, and he had seen his fair share of Minnie types, plotting to cozy up to the boss. However, none had ever breached the president’s personal space like that.
Seeing Minnie peel away from Walter’s side, that level of closeness made David’s mind race to
conclusions he did not want to reach.
Were they an item then? What about Mrs. Gordon? Was divorce on the cards?
In the next instant, Walter cleared up the mystery.
“David, come here for a second.” Walter motioned with a flick of his fingers, all business in his fancy leather chair.
David scooted over, all ears and respect. “Yes, sir?”
Walter grabbed Minnie by the arm, pulling her from his shadow to stand in front of David.
“Looks like you’re on Ms. Kast duty from now on. Keep an eye on her day–to–day.”
“Got it.” David dipped his head, his mind a whirlpool of thoughts he tried to keep under wraps.
Minnie was just another employee, not someone who needed a special assistant for her daily grind.
The moment Walter decided, it was clear: Minnie’s status had just leveled up. In the whole Gordon family, only two people got the VIP treatment with their daily needs catered to–Evangeline of the Gordon family and Ms. Kast.
That said a lot about where Minnie stood.

A flicker of triumph danced in Minnie’s eyes. She could hardly believe how quickly she had snagged Walter’s nod of approval. To top it off, his right–hand man David was then looking out for her. Her strategy of seizing the opportunity was spot–on, she had Walter wrapped around her finger!
Despite the reality of it all, Minnie was still taken aback by how much Walter valued her. She tried to stay composed. “Oh, Walter, I really shouldn’t. I can look after myself, no need to put Mr. Zimmer out.”
However, as she touched her warm cheeks, trying to hide her shy smile, it only drew more attention. “That won’t do!” Walter gently tugged on Minnie’s wrist, and with a gentle pull, she found herself nestled in his strong arms. “I’m not into office romances, and I don’t want you to leave your job. It’s fine if the others are clueless about you, but David? He has to know. He should at least be aware of who’s going to be running the show in the future, right?”
