Chapter: 450

Alicia, having only seen such technology in films, was thoroughly impressed.

She couldn't help but admire Caden's handiwork.

Hank beamed with pride. “This is just the beginning. Mr. Ward's goal is to develop a robot that perfectly mimics human behavior."

Puzzled, Alicia tilted her head. "Mimic human behavior completely?"

“Yes, completely," Hank affirmed.

Alicia remarked instinctively, “Society wouldn't tolerate that."

“If Mr. Ward actually succeeds in creating it, he'd likely keep it for himself," she mused, her imagination taking off.

"Keep it for himself—" she muttered. "Could Caden be harboring unrequited love? Is that why he's making a replica?"

Hank promptly reassured her, "No, you are his one and only."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Alicia replied, "No need to exaggerate."

With his duties calling, Hank excused himself and departed.

Alicia spent some time with the robot, impressed yet recognizing a few areas for improvement that she noted for Caden.

Their schedules had been so packed that their encounters were confined to brief meetings at night, and even then, intimacy was rushed.

Alicia felt as though it had been ages since she had truly seen him.

After organizing her thoughts, she went directly to Blizzard Group.

Familiar with the location, Alicia had direct access thanks to Caden, eliminating the need to sign in.

She hadn't informed him of her arrival.

Exiting the elevator, she caught sight of Hank escorting a strikingly dressed woman in a chic mini-skirt into Caden's office.

Alicia froze, struck by the woman's confident, alluring presence.

Alicia felt like she had chosen the worst possible moment to walk in.

It was her first time seeing Caden with another woman.

What did their agreement say again? They would not meddle in each other's personal lives.

Their business was finished.

And they weren't in a relationship.

So, she shouldn't get involved, right?

Alicia tried to reassure herself as she looked for a place to sit.

Despite this, she found herself stealing glances towards the office.

She couldn't help but wonder what was happening inside.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

In the office, Hank led the woman to Caden's desk.
