    Janice chimed in, “Yeah, we honestly had no idea where to even begin.”

    Andy’s eyes were deep and unreadable. For a moment, he stared at Dawn, something almost nostalgic flickering there.


    Then, he shook it off and addressed the others.


    “The road ahead isn’t great. Let’s park here. I’ll guide you up the trail.”


    With a pro leading them, nobody argued.


    Once the cars were parked, everyone grabbed their backpacks and followed Andy up mountain.

    Janice and Dawn stayed toward the back. When she was sure no one up front could hear. Janice leaned close and whispered, “Did you notice how he was looking at you?”


    Dawn answered calmly, “No.”


    “Tsk.”


    Janice stopped, pulled Dawn around, and spoke even lower.


    “Listen, I might not have much real experience, but I’m good at reading people. He’s into you. I bet once this trip is over, he’ll start texting you nonstop. You-”


    “Janice<i>.</i>” Dawn cut her off helplessly, ncing at the group already walking ahead. “If I remember right, you’re the one who pushed me to reach out to Mr. Kelsinger.” <fnf83c> This content belongs to F?nd-Novel</fnf83c>


    Janice looked a little guilty. “Well … I didn’t think he’d turn out to be such a creep.”


    That word was a bit harsh.


    Dawn sighed, leaned on her hiking pole, and kept walking. Catching her breath, she said softly, “No one helps strangers for free. He must think I’ve got something worth trading.”


    But deep down, she knew Andy’s look wasn’t the same as a guy checking out a girl. There

    “So what should we do?”


    Janice muttered, “If Boss thinks I’m setting you up, I’ll totally get fired.”

    Dawn almost burst outughing in frustration. “Let’s just hurry up. I’ve got to be back before dark. I’ve got ns tonight.”


    She’d already promised to mee


    t Ethan’s friends, so she couldn’t cancel it.


    The path grew thinner and rougher.


    It wasn’t a mountain with locals, so even the paths were just tracks carved out by hikers. Brambles and branches stuck out everywhere, catching their clothes with ripping sounds if they weren’t careful.


    Dawn worked out sometimes, but this kind of climb had her sweating and gasping. The office crew, who barely moved in daily life, looked even worse.


    After more than an hour, Andy finally called for a break.


    “Hang on, guys. We’re almost there.”


    He opened a bottle of water, walked straight to Dawn, and offered it. “Are you okay?”


    She smiled and pulled a thermos from her backpack’s side pocket. “Thanks. Mr. Kelsinger, but my fiancé packed me some electrolyte water. I’ll drink this.”


    Her voice was clear, especially when she said “fiancé“.


    A coworker joked, “I knew it. Ever since we heard about Dawn and Mr. Jackson, we’ve all been eating up their romance.”


    “Right? Honestly, it’s <i>so </i>sweet.”


    “Yeah, show off more. We love it.”


    Everyone was grinning, except Andy, who quietly sipped his drink, his face unreadable. “I didn’t realize Ms. Porter already had a fiancé.”


    Sensing the mood, Janice stepped in, blocking his view.


    “Of course. Dawn and Mr. Jackson are inseparable. He even gave her thispany as a gift. What about you, Mr. Kelsinger? You must have a happy family too?”


    Andy had been in business long enough to read people easily.


    He knew exactly what Janice was trying to do.


    Amused, he said, “I’m still single. If you know anyone suitable, feel free to introduce me.”

    Janice had wanted to shut him down, but his casual and open answer threw her off. She mumbled, “Uh, you’re great. You’ll meet your match for sure.”

    Realizing how awkward that sounded, she quickly pped her hands. “Alright, let’s wrap this up. Mr. Kelsinger said we’re close. Let’s finish and head back before it’ste.”


    The group started to move again.


    It was thepany’s first time organizing something like that. Despite the exhaustion, everyone seemed to enjoy it.

    Time slipped by, and soon they reached the spot he had described.


    It was at the base of a cliff, with a cave deeper inside. From its entrance, a dry creek bed wound far into the distance.
