Chapter 481:
“Dad, do you have something on your mind p>
Yelena had sensed for a while that Callum wanted to discuss something.
With an awkward laugh, Callum responded, “You caught me.” Yelena arched an eyebrow, easily recognizing the signs of his hesitation.
“What is it?” she asked.
As Callum gazed at Yelena, he mused that she often seemed too composed for her age, lacking the carefree demeanor typical of younger women.
Gesturing toward his wrist, he said, “Doesn’t this look like it’s missing something p>
Yelena caught on immediately to what he was implying.
For a moment, she was unsure how to respond. It was just the smartwatch he’d been hinting at—he could have mentioned it sooner. Even without him bringing it up, she had already bought one for him. She had merely forgotten to give it to him, as she had been incredibly busy lately.
Internally, Yelena marveled at how someone as formidable as Callum could occasionally act childish.
“I meant to give it to you yesterday, but p>
“But what?” Callum asked, his voice calm but laced with curiosity, waiting for Yelena to elaborate.
Yelena hesitated for a moment but decided against explaining further. After all, the delay had been her fault, so there wasn’t much more to say.
Shaking her head, she smiled lightly and handed over the watch. “I picked a black one for you. I think it suits you better than the light-colored ones p>
She launched into a brief explanation of its functions, her tone matter-of-fact.
“The most important feature is the emergency function. But remember, it’s only for real danger or emergencies. Don’t use it unless you absolutely have to p>

Callum nodded, his expression thoughtful. “Donna mentioned it before. I understand p>
Still, curiosity lingered in his eyes. “What’s this emergency function, exactly?” he asked, tilting his head.
Yelena’s lips curled into a teasing grin as she winked at him. “Let’s just say it’s useful. That’s all you need to know. But remember, you only get one shot, so make it count p>
Callum’s smile faded as he nodded solemnly, his demeanor shifting to one of complete focus. “Got it p>
The sudden seriousness on his face made Yelena burst out laughing.
Seeing her laugh, Callum couldn’t help but join in, his earlier seriousness melting away into amusement.
Before long, they arrived at the company.
Yelena asked Callum to stop the car before they reached the main entrance. She didn’t want anyone to see her arriving in Callum’s car, preferring to avoid unnecessary attention.
Callum understood her reasoning. While he was proud of Yelena and wouldn’t have cared if others knew their connection, he respected her preference for discretion.
Besides, anyone who dared to cross Yelena would quickly find out what it meant to face him.
Once Yelena stepped out, Callum watched her walk away until she reached a safe distance. Only then did he instruct the driver to move on, his gaze lingering until she disappeared from sight.
Upon entering the building, Callum stepped into the office with his usual commanding presence. He cleared his throat conspicuously as he stood before the secretary’s desk, casually lifting his wrist to show off the sleek black watch.
Arnold Gordon, his secretary, glanced up, his expression puzzled. He thought Callum might be feeling unwell.
“Mr. Harris, is your throat uncomfortable? Let me get you some water,” Arnold said, rising from his chair.
