Gina Lopez had left, leaving Lucy Campbell to resume her role as John Brown's little secretary. She took care of him so attentively that what had originally felt like a tedious and flavorless job now seemed quite enjoyable. At least it made time fly—before he knew it, the workday was over.
During dinner, Emily Jenkins, the unapologetic foodie, joined them as one of the household's new members. Lucy had already notified her about the move. True to her carefree nature, Emily was deeply appreciative but quickly brushed it off and began chatting with Lucy without any special note of thanks.
Everyone was used to Emily's personality and didn't mind. In fact, they found her straightforward demeanor quite endearing and easy to get close to.

Gina's face immediately tensed, and she anxiously asked, "What's he planning to do?"
