“Why worry about all this? I think we were in for it the moment we agreed to his employment. Of course, this is under the assumption that he plans to make a move on us. But honestly, even if he doesn’t, I think it’ll be hard for me to feel this kind of love with any other man. Sometimes, that’s simply the case when you’re with someone who is too outstanding,” Julia Parker sighed with a helpless, bitter smile.

If Finn Lewis knew how outstanding he was in the hearts of his female assistants, he would probably be overjoyed. However, perhaps Finn, modest as he was, didn’t realize this. He believed his achievements were only a result of Zero’s involvement, and thus, he wasn’t particularly proud of them. His attitude towards them hadn’t changed – it was still the same as any ordinary person’s.

But to others, Finn embodied the broad-minded nature of a man. He was worth hundreds of billions of Federal coins, but he treated his assistants as though they were his friends. He would joke with them and even amuse them from time to time. Few people could manage such an attitude, right? Many beautiful things in the world are borne out of misunderstandings. So, when Finn saw Fishy Wells, he didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary and Fishy also composed herself.

As Julia Parker put it, everyone would willingly succumb if Finn made a move on them. But if Finn didn’t make a move, it seemed like… they would only be drawn deeper. It would be impossible to escape unless they resigned now. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

“When I’m not here, you guys can take a break. You can go on a holiday or go home. As for the house, just get someone to clean it up. I’ll probably be back by the time school starts,” Finn Lewis said thoughtfully to Julia Parker and the others before leaving.

“Yes, sir. You can leave without worries. Just call us if there’s anything,” Julia

Parker and the others responded with nods. Only then did Finn leave in his car.

Since he was only taking Fishy Wells and Zoe, a single car was enough. He drove Olivia Thatcher. Finn’s house was located in the northernmost province of Flame Nation, on a fertile plain above the bend of the Love River in the

Manchester area. The area, also known as Heritage Plain, was indeed a nice

place. Because of the tributaries and numerous small streams of the Love River that crisscrossed the area, creating a dense water network, the middle part of this area was like it’s being encased by rivers.

This was why it was called Heritage Plain. Thanks to the water flow from the Love River, the area was rich and fertile, with water sources as plentiful as those in the lake towns of Southern Province. Unlike the other regions of Manchester, which primarily raised livestock, Heritage Plain mainly relied on agriculture, mirroring areas like Hinterland. From Celeston City to Legacy City in the Heritage Plain, it was just over 2100 kilometers. But with Olivia Thatcher’s speed, they could make it home in a day.

They left Celeston City in the evening and quickly joined the freeway. By the time they were on the freeway, it was close to 10 pm. Zoe, being a child, was already drowsy. “Olivia, start the autopilot. And camouflage us. I don’t want surveillance cameras to spot us.” The rest of the journey was on the long, straight highway, so Finn also planned to go to sleep. With autopilot and being so late in the night, Finn thought it was best that he didn’t drive.

“Sir, are you sure about this auto-driving? Shall I drive instead?” While Finn was confident of the autopilot, Fishy Wells was not. Although she hadn’t gotten her driving license yet, she had no issues driving. There was no problem since she embraced the car every day. Even the densest person could learn this, especially when there was no fear of colliding with anything.

“Stop that. You’ve never driven on a freeway. You’re not even as reliable as this autopilot. Don’t worry, Olivia. We’re going to sleep. Wake me up when we reach a tollbooth,” Finn reassured her directly.

“Okay, sir. You two go to sleep,” Olivia answered breezily. For a computer, rest was unnecessary.

With Olivia’s response, the backrests of the driver and co-driver seats automatically began to recline, quickly aligning perfectly with the back seats to create a hollow shape. Zoe found all this magical. As the car’s interior transformed into a bed, Zoe exclaimed with excitement, “Yay! I get to sleep with big brother and big sister.”

Zoe’s words made Fishy Wells blush slightly. She stole a glance at Finn and found that he hadn’t noticed this at all. Smiling, he ruffled Zoe’s hair and said, “Alright, let’s all just go to sleep. We’ll be home by tomorrow afternoon. Also, Zoe, if you need to use the bathroom, tell me.”

“Okay, I know,” Zoe replied and then lay down in the back seat. Finn also reclined on his seat, resting his head on the back area. His legs could even stretch out onto the seat. It was nearly like sleeping in a bed, albeit slightly smaller; but that wasn’t a problem. As soon as Finn lay down, his backrest began to vibrate ever so slightly. The massage mechanism in the backrest started working automatically. With the temperature inside the car set perfectly for human comfort, Finn quickly began to feel sleepy.

Fishy Wells also lay down. At first, she felt a little embarrassed, but sitting felt even more awkward, so she soon lay down. She then realized that the seat backrest didn’t feel uncomfortable as a bed — in fact, it felt unbelievably soft. Finn leaned slightly towards the center to avoid crowding Zoe, and Fishy Wells also leaned a bit toward the center. This made her position very close to Finn.

As Finn had temporarily isolated his ‘younger brother,’ he had no other thoughts in mind. After playful exchanges with Zoe and settling her down, he quickly drifted off to sleep. Zoe had long since fallen asleep. Her little head was even closer to Fishy Wells than Finn’s. Fishy could even hear Zoe’s steady breathing, making the vehicle incredibly peaceful.

In the quiet night, Fishy Wells suddenly realized that the car’s soundproofing was surprisingly effective. She could feel the faint vibrations but couldn’t hear the sound of the engine at all. Seeing Finn’s face close by, she felt as though they were a family of three sleeping together, returning home for the holidays. As this thought crossed her mind, Fishy felt her cheeks grow warm. She was glad that Finn and Zoe were asleep and hadn’t noticed it. Eventually, Fishy Wells also fell asleep, a hint of contentment in her heart..
