Out of Ashes Into His Heart

"Gavin, we've been through a lot together, so I'll give you some friendly advice— sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. Don't make me take harsher measures." Tom said this with a smile, but it felt more like a warning that sent shivers down my spine.

However, I knew that Tom wasn't just making empty threats.

With the White family's influence in the military, government, and business worlds, Gavin was no match for him.

Even back when they were still in school, Gavin had made the first move to befriend Tom.

The White family was far stronger than the Gould family.

After a few seconds of silence on Gavin's end, the call abruptly ended with a busy signal.

"Here you go."

I quickly took the phone from Tom, feeling uneasy.

I couldn't quite understand why he was helping me so suddenly. Was it because

he had disliked Gavin for a long time? Was he helping me as a way to deal with Gavin?

Lost in my thoughts, the car suddenly came to a stop.

"We're here."

"Oh, right!" I quickly grabbed my bag and got out of the car.

"Thank you, Tom. Drive safely..."

But before I could finish, I saw him also step out of the car.

I looked at him in confusion, wondering what he was doing.

"Mr. White!"

At that moment, I saw several men walking toward us, and among them was Luke.

"We're so glad you could make it! Thank you for your strong support of Zephyr Corporation and your continued support of the voice-acting industry." A man in his 40s smiled and shook Tom's hand, bowing slightly.

I was still confused when I suddenly felt a light tap on my arm. I instinctively

turned around to see Luke giving me a look.

"Mr. Torress?"

"Why did you get here in Mr. White's car? Do you know him?"

"He's my senior from university..." I realized Tom's status was special, so I quickly provided a reasonable explanation. "We happened to run into each other on the road, and he kindly offered to give me a ride..."

Luke's eyes lit up. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "That's great! Mr. White

is our biggest investor! Our company's funding is entirely dependent on him! Since you know him, things will be much easier for you..."

I finally understood.

No wonder even Aaron was out here to welcome him personally.

Soon, he noticed me and asked a few questions. When he learned I was a newly recruited voice actor and Tom's university junior, he said, "That's great! In that case, Grace, you'll handle the coordination between Mr. White and the company from now on."

I was both flattered and surprised, but I knew connections were a form of soft power, so I immediately agreed. "Thank you, Mr. Peck. I'll do my best."

After finally sending the company leaders off, I let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Tom teased with a half-smile. "Not happy about being given such an important task?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, feeling helpless. "Tom, next time, could you give me a heads-up before you pull a stunt like this?"

Having so many company bigwigs rush over at once nearly gave me a heart attack.

But thanks to him, I had gained some recognition in the company.noveldrama

Whether as a "person with connections" or an "unexpected recruit", I had become someone my colleagues didn't dare to mess with, making work coordination much smoother.

Tom reached out, ruffling my hair messily as if it were no big deal. "Got it."

"Ah! My hair!"

I quickly tried to fix my hair, and after seeing him smile and get back in the car, I waved him goodbye.

Only after watching the black SUV drive off did I turn back to head into the company.

However, just a few steps in, someone suddenly grabbed my wrist.
