Kate didn't chase after me again, but she did send a message: [Tonight, no matter how unreasonable your request, I'll agree to it, as long as you don't ask me to change my assistant.]

I stared at the screen in silence for a long time. It seemed she cared about this assistant very much.

In the past, her restraint wouldn't allow her to make requests beyond what she could accept. But for Kieran, she broke her own precedent.

I turned off the screen and focused on watching the newlyweds exchange rings on stage. When it came to the bouquet toss, the flowers happened to land in Kieran's hands.

To liven up the atmosphere, the host handed him the microphone, "Sir, is there anyone here you'd like to give these flowers to?"

Kieran seemed completely unfazed by my presence, holding the bouquet as he approached Kate and knelt on one knee, "I want to give these flowers to Miss Bogart."

Someone sharp-eyed noticed that the rings they wore were a matching set and immediately began cheering, "So Miss Bogart already has someone in her heart, kiss her!" The crowd's enthusiasm grew, with everyone eagerly hoping they'd continue this wedding's theme of love.

Kieran cast a provocative glance at me, then feigned a pitiful tone, "I'm just Miss Bogart's assistant. How could I dare to confess my feelings?"

Kate, having seemingly forgotten my existence, took the flowers from him, her eyes moist with emotion. "Don't undervalue yourself. You're great, bright and handsome." Her words were met with a round of thunderous applause.

But I stood there, cold from head to toe. Only when she saw that I was watching did Kate snap out of her daze.

She rushed over to me, suddenly noticing the bouquet in her hands, which she hastily tossed aside while said, "Alec, you're not angry, right? We were just joking around."

Kieran also came over, offering a series of apologies in an overly 'humble' manner, "Yes, Mr. Brolin, it was just a joke. You're not that petty, are you?"

At that moment, I could no longer hold back, "Take off the ring on your hand immediately! If you can't do it, I'll have my bodyguards help."

Kieran remained unfazed, casting a helpless glance at Kate.

I signaled to my bodyguards and they moved in. But just as they approached Kieran, he tightly grabbed Kate's hand, his face filled with terror, "Miss Bogart, they're going to grab me."
