After driving home, Zoe and the others didn’t go out to play and just stayed at home. When Finn returned, he announced the news directly. Julia and the others naturally had nothing to say. However, when Finn mentioned he would only take Fishy home, the faces of the other girls changed slightly. After all, Finn was going to take her to meet his parents!

But their reactions were minimal and soon put aside. They had been with Finn for a good amount of time now. But during this time Finn hadn’t made a move on any of them, not even a romantic encounter, up to the point where their originally uneasy hearts turned somewhat resentful. The closer they got to Finn, the better they understand just how desirable he was – literally a golden bachelor.

However, it was obvious that Finn had no interest in them. They all knew about Finn’s shop, the “Moon of West Lake”, and also knew, Finn had announced it was specially opened for someone, a woman to be specific, and they knew who that woman was. So now, knowing that Finn was taking Fishy home, they clearly felt she would at most have a secondary standing.

Of course, Finn had no idea what his full-time female assistants were thinking. He wouldn’t have had the time to ponder over such things. Damn it, shit! After making his announcement, Finn noticed that Zoe looked a bit glum. He squatted down, lifted her onto his lap and said: “Zoe, would you like to go home with your brother? My dad and mom will be there, and of course, from now on they’ll also be your mom and dad, okay? I also have grandpa and grandma, and other family members, they’ll all be your family, too, okay?”

“Brother,” Zoe bit her lip and called to Finn, saying nothing more, only burying her head in Finn’s chest.

Finn sighed, his hand patting Zoe’s back gently, then said: “Zoe, don’t worry. From now on, you’ll never be alone. You’ll have your brother, and grandpa and grandma, and mom and dad. Everyone’s going to take care of you, okay?”

“Mmm…” Finally, Zoe agreed, and then she whispered, “Should I bring gifts for them? Maybe I can buy milk for grandpa and grandma.”

Milk was probably the only thing this little one could think of. Finn rubbed his somewhat sore nose, quickly nodded and said, “That sounds like a plan. Let’s pack up then. How about we set off tonight?”

“Okay.” Zoe nodded.

After calming Zoe, Finn looked up at Fishy and asked, “You okay?”

“I’m okay.” Fishy nodded. From the moment she agreed to go with Finn, she knew she probably didn’t have much choice. Finn had spent a lot of money on her. Perhaps the money wasn’t a big deal for Finn, but for her family, it was a lifesaver. The gratitude she felt was something she could never repay in this lifetime.

She subconsciously placed a piece of clothing into the suitcase, and Fishy was a bit dazed. Standing behind her, Julia Parker gave a wry smile, reached out, and pulled her, saying: “Fishy, you’re not going to the Arctic, you’re just going up north and it’s summer now. Why are you packing such a thick coat?”

“Ah,” Fishy came back to her senses, when she saw the autumn coat she had packed in her suitcase and her face turned slightly red.

Julia sighed and pulled her to sit down, and asked, “What’s on your mind?” Julia spent more time with Fishy than the others, so they were closer. When Finn asked Fishy to come back and pack, she followed her. Now, she realized Fishy was preoccupied.

“No, nothing.” Fishy was a little flustered.

“Talk to me. Is there anything we can’t discuss?” Julia patted Fishy’s hand and sat down next to her on the bed.

Fishy fell silent for a long while before she finally spoke up softly: “I’m not sure what’s going on. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help myself. When I first mustered up the courage to apply for the job, I had a plan. After he helped out with my family’s troubles, I figured if he wanted my body, it would be a way for me to express my gratitude. He saved the lives of several members of my family. I don’t expect to marry him, but be his mistress, have his child, serve him all my life, and I would consider it as repaying his kindness.”

Julia didn’t interrupt Fishy, just listened quietly. Raising her head to look at Julia, Fishy continued with a bitter smile: “But you know what? He didn’t do any of that. He didn’t take my body, he didn’t make a single inappropriate move. He treated me like a real assistant. The work I’m doing doesn’t require my degree or extensive knowledge. But I think, concerning these things, he knows more than we do.”

Julia also smiled bitterly at this point. Finn’s performance in the Southern Federation shocked her countless times. His fluent Graham and Federation languages made Julia realize that Finn was not just a rich playboy.

“I feel that if this continues, I’ll fall for him, or maybe I already have.” Fishy finally voiced her most critical thought, touching her chest. Some people have an irresistible charm. It’s like in the animal kingdom, where female animals always seek the strongest male for mating. And among humans, ‘strong’ not only refers to the body, but also a person’s overall strength.

The situation worsens with people like Finn, who are young, powerful, confident, and most importantly, have charisma. All of this can be marked under ‘strong’ which is fatal attraction for women. Of course, this might not apply to all cases, but undoubtedly in most cases it does. Especially when a man isn’t just wealthy but also compassionate, not many women could resist such a man’s pursuit.

Fishy and Julia didn’t even have to face Finn’s courtship, merely living with him, they found themselves attracted to him unknowingly. Of course, this was also linked to their job nature. Anybody whose job revolved around someone would naturally place that person in their heart, in one of the most important positions..
