He immediately pulled Bradley up from the sofa. “Brad, let’s go talk in my office.”
The two of them headed to Eddie’s office..
As they entered, Eddie closed the door behind them.
Bradley took a seat in the chair.
Eddie leaned against his desk, not even touching his lunch. He looked serious as he asked, “Brad, did you really talk to Mom?”
Bradley nodded. “Yeah, she told me everything.”
Eddie didn’t say anything.
He knew this day would come sooner or later.
Now, the truth was finally out.
Eddie stared at Bradley, saying nothing.
Bradley looked at him, a hint of hope in his voice. “Eddie, you can help me, can’t you?”
But Eddie shook his head. “Sorry, Brad, I can’t.”
Bradley frowned. “But aren’t you supposed to be the expert at this?”
Eddie let out a sigh. “Brad, I could definitely use deep hypnosis to help you get your m?mories back, but the risk is just too high. I can’t do it.”
Bradley frowned. “What’s the risk?”
Eddie’s face grew even more serious. “Your memories could get so jumbled you’d go insane.””
Bradley pressed on. “How likely is that?”
Eddie shook his head. “Brad, I won’t let you take that risk, no matter how little the chance is.”
Bradley stood up.
Eddie added, “Brad, I’ll let everyone in the business know not to take your request, no matter if they’re here or overseas.”
Bradley was speechless.
Eddie continued, “If you want to know anything about Cameron, just come to me. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
Finally, Bradley sat back down.
He asked, “Eddie, can you tell me why Cameron seems to dislike me?”
Eddie was completely baffled.
“How could Cameron possibly dislike you? You two were always so close. You even transferred your house to her, bought an entire castle just so she could raise Pearl, and you even set Eric up for her…” Eddie said.
Bradley said, “Give me the details.”
Eddie told Bradley everything he knew about what had happened between them,
Bradley got lost in his thoughts.
He still had no idea what exactly had gone wrong between him and Cameron.
“Dr. Saunders, your patient is here,” the secretary called from outside, knocking on the door.
Eddie patted Bradley on the shoulder and left without saying another word.
Bradley stayed in Eddie’s office for a long time.
When Eddie finished seeing a patient and came back, he found Bradley still sitting there.
Eddie let out a sigh and said, “Brad, don’t overthink things you can’t figure out. If you can’t remember the past, just let it stay forgotten. If you still like Cameron, then go win her back.”
“By the way,” Eddie added, “is Cameron still single?”
Bradley replied, “I don’t know.”
Eddie said, “You don’t even know if she’s single, so what are you even stressing about?”
Bradley was speechless.
Meanwhile, at Viremont International Airport, a man in a sharp black suit walked briskly through the terminal.
His short black hair was perfectly styled, and his handsome face was hidden behind a pair of black sunglasses.
He pushed a sleek black suitcase, moving quickly. His assistant also pushed a black suitcase, hurrying to keep up with him.
Not everyone was blessed with a pair of long legs, after all.
“Mr. Murphy,” the assistant asked respectfully, “are we heading straight home or to the office?”
Xander replied in his usual cool, clipped tone. “Office.”
Xander sat in the back seat of the Maybach, slowly taking off his black sunglasses as he looked out at this city that was both strange and familiar.
It had been seven years since he left.
New York had changed so much that it was almost unrecognizable to him.
Soon, Xander rolled up the window.
He slowly closed his eyes, letting himself rest.
At the Murphy Group, some employees were sharing the latest news in the bathroom.
“Work’s almost over. Is Mr. Murphy really coming back today? We’re not going to have to work overtime tonight, are we?”
“Probably soon, right? I heard he’s already at the airport.”
“He looks so handsome in that photo. I wonder if he’s just as good-looking in real life.”
“I heard Mr. Murphy is still single.”
The girls chatted while fixing their makeup.
The guys, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel the pressure.
Everyone knew a new boss meant trouble ahead.
When Xander walked in, they knew their gut feeling had been spot on.
His handsome face was completely expressionless, and his impressive height alone was intimidating.
Even the girls who’d been secretly fantasizing about him earlier didn’t dare let their imaginations run wild anymore.
They didn’t even dare to sneak a glance at his face.
Even so, a quick peek at his figure told them he was built just right.
Xander’s icy gaze swept over everyone present. “Sorry to keep you all waiting. My flight was delayed by two hours, so I’ll need everyone to stay and work overtime with me for two hours to make up for the lost time.”
Everyone was shocked.
Overtime?
He just got back, and they already had to work overtime?
What on earth was he up to?
While everyone was silently complaining, Xander turned around with one hand in his pocket. “Meeting in the conference room in five n leadership.”
“Yes, Mr. Murphy,” his assistant responded immediately.
Then, Xander headed back to his office.

The employees finally started gossiping among themselves.
“Can you believe Mr. Murphy’s a total workaholic?” one of them muttered.
“The new boss just has to make a statement,” another complained.
