Their Mistake, Her Rise - Chapter 367: Chapter 367

Unable to keep this show of affection to herself, Medusa secretly took out her phone and filmed the entire interaction between Zoe and Shawn. She sent the video to their private group chat.
The Crimson Blaze group chat exploded almost instantly.
Kestrel: [Am I hallucinating? Who's this sweet little girl? I swear I don't recognize her.]
Warhammer: [I can't believe my eyes. When did our boss become such a soft, lovestruck girl?]
Medusa: [Surprise, right? I couldn't believe it either. Who knew our boss—who's always been clueless about love—would one day figure it out.]
Warhammer: [This is bad. Our boss has been stolen away. What about us? Are we just unloved strays now?]
Kestrel: [Speak for yourself. You're the only one who's never been in a relationship. Don't lump me and Medusa into your lonely boat. We have people who love us.]
Warhammer: [Outrageous! I can't believe you two were secretly dating behind my back.]
Warhammer was devastated. He thought at least Zoe, who'd never known what love was, would be there to keep him company in the single life. But now, it seemed he was the last single soul in Crimson Blaze. He was plunged into despair.
Medusa and Kestrel continued teasing Warhammer in the group chat.
But as for Zoe and Shawn's relationship, they were all genuinely happy for them. After everything Zoe had endured in the past, it was heartwarming to finally see someone loving and cherishing her so deeply.
Kestrel: [Medusa, as her family, shouldn't we start preparing an engagement gift for our boss?]
Warhammer: [I haven't even approved of them being together yet. Can that guy even beat me in a fight?]
Warhammer: [Boss must be acting. She's probably faking all this lovey-dovey stuff just to kill Shawn later.]
Medusa: [Oh, poor Warhammer, stop bluffing. Boss really has fallen for Shawn. As for the engagement gift... I say we should start getting it ready. We absolutely cannot let her be embarrassed.]
Warhammer: [You guys... you're all bullying me. I'm going to ask her directly about this!]
Zoe had only taken a few sips of water when she noticed her phone buzzing nonstop.
Since it was time to switch to airplane mode anyway, she checked it to see who had the time and energy to be spamming her with messages.
But the moment she saw the messages in the Crimson Blaze group chat, she was speechless.
She immediately replied with a confused reaction sticker, her expression turning cold. She definitely had no plans of getting married yet.
After sending the message, Zoe suddenly realized something and turned to look at Shawn beside her.
Shawn happened to be watching her. Zoe quickly put her phone away, heart skipping a beat. She had gotten so relaxed just now that she completely forgot to maintain her cover.
She was now worried that Shawn might've seen the messages on her screen—she wasn't sure if she could come up with an excuse in time.
Just as Zoe was growing uneasy, Shawn suddenly reached his hand toward her.
Thinking she was about to be attacked, Zoe tensed up immediately, ready to counter. But instead of a fight, Shawn's hand simply landed gently on top of her head.
"You had a bit of lint on your hair," he said, picking off a tiny piece of tissue.
Zoe was startled, but then let out a sigh of relief. "Did you just—"
"Just what?" Shawn asked calmly.
Zoe fell silent. She couldn't ask him outright whether he had seen her group chat. That would be admitting too much.
If Shawn asked to see her phone, she'd have no idea how to handle it. But she couldn't tell whether he had actually seen the messages or not. She suspected he might have—and might be planning his next move.
Just as Zoe was caught up in these anxious thoughts, Shawn said something that completely caught her off guard.
