Sophia, thinking about the company's issues and how Julian always had solutions, couldn't suppress the smile on her face.She walked into the office without a second thought. "Julian—"Before she could say anything, she saw Julian—known for being distant and uninterested in women—deeply engrossed in kissing the woman in his arms.She suddenly had a bad feeling, so she quickly pretended she hadn't seen anything and began to back away.…Hearing the sound, I hurriedly pushed Julian away. "Someone's here."Julian looked a bit regretful but still raised his gaze to see Sophia, who was about to close the door. "Come in."Sophia stood in front of Julian's desk nervously. "Julian."Julian sat down expressionlessly and looked at Sophia. "Next time, knock before entering."Sophia felt speechless. "I don't need you reminding me to do that!" Sophia thought.But she replied, "Okay."Julian gestured with his eyes for her to sit, then casually asked, "Whatever the issue is, feel free to a

Even if Julian wanted to, he couldn't spare the time to be affectionate with me. Glancing at me, he sighed and turned back to focus on his work.…By the time he finished, it was time to pick up Willow. I gathered my things and walked over to Julian, asking, "Ready to go?"Julian stood up and held my hand. "Yes."As I looked at our intertwined hands, I found it strange. I had been married to Shayne for so many years. He never got used to holding hands or hugging me in public, nor did he want to display any kind of affection.When I asked him why, he said it was because he was the CEO of Pearce Group and couldn't appear too frivolous.But Julian was completely different. Wherever we went, he couldn't wait to hold my hand, paying no mind to what others might think."Aren't you afraid that people seeing us like this might harm your image?" I voiced my curiosity.Julian answered without hesitation, "Of course not. I think they'd just envy me for having such a great girlfriend."

When this topic was brought up, Eric's mood instantly brightened. "They've already been discharged from the hospital, thanks to the salary you gave me over the past few months. Otherwise, I don't know how I could've managed it.""That's money you earned through your own abilities. Now, besides escorting Willow every evening, I've arranged a part-time job for you as well," Julian said calmly."You'll be responsible for taking Ximena and Pamela to and from places daily. Do you have the time?""Yes!" Eric responded unhesitatingly."As for the pay, I was thinking of adding 20 thousand to your current salary. If you have any concerns, you can ask me to raise it."Eric quickly shook his head. "I'm fine with it! I'm very happy with this income.""So, it's settled?" Julian asked.Eric nodded. "Yes, don't worry. I'll make sure to protect them."…Back in the living room, Julian relayed the arrangements to us.Ximena finally sighed in relief. "Now, when he bothers me, I'll have a way t

Pamela shoveled food into her mouth while exclaiming, "It's been so long since I've eaten something this delicious!"Seeing her daughter so happy, Ximena couldn't help but feel joyful as well. "Then eat more."…After dinner, Eric drove them home. On the way, he said to them, "I don't have much work during the day, so if you need anything, you can call me."Hearing this, Ximena was silent for a moment before asking, "I have several extra rooms at home. Would you mind staying at my place overnight?"She watched Eric nervously, afraid he would refuse.Andrew had recently started showing up at night to cause trouble, leaving her feeling utterly distressed."Of course, I wouldn't mind," Eric responded without hesitation."I don't have a place to stay at the moment anyway, so if you're willing to let me stay, I couldn't be happier."Ximena smiled slightly. "Thank you."The car stopped in the underground garage, and Eric escorted Ximena and Pamela upstairs.Holding Eric's hand, Pa

Andrew gritted his teeth but ultimately chose to leave.Looking at Andrew's retreating back, Pamela asked incredulously, "Did he really leave?"Eric chuckled. "Of course. People like him only bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as your fists are tougher than his, he'll back down."Pamela thought for a while before asking, "Then can I train in martial arts with Willow in the future?""Of course."Pamela clenched her fists. "I want him to fear me."Eric nodded approvingly. "That's the spirit."Ximena hadn't expected her troubles to be resolved so easily, but she still worried that Andrew might come back once Eric left. She took the initiative and prepared a bedroom for Eric. "Is it okay if you stay in this room tonight?"Eric was never picky about accommodations. "Yeah."Pamela closed the living room door.…Near the villa, a car was parked by the roadside.Zach sat in the car, his eyes filled with longing as he looked at Aralyn standing on the balcony.Aralyn had

"But after you became Willow's mom, all of that became your responsibility," Julian said softly.Laughing, I teased, "You pay me so much every month. If I didn't take care of anything, your money would've been wasted.""I don't think so, Lyn. Even if all you did was stay by Willow's side and help her get better, that alone would make it worth every penny."I froze. "Really?"Julian stepped forward and took my hand. "Yes."I looked up at him. "By the way, I want to visit my mom tomorrow.""Do you want me to go with you?"Perhaps because our relationship was now defined, the closeness we initially shared felt different. But the simple act of holding hands made me feel as if we were even closer than before. "Okay."…Luna sat at home, thinking about her situation repeatedly. Although Shayne claimed he was looking out for her by keeping her away from Julian, he hadn't made any effort to reach out to her.If this continued, the distance between her and Shayne would only grow, and

Luna looked down at her feet after hearing that and bit her lip. "When you're alone at home, it's inevitable to bump into things. I initially thought this was a small injury and shouldn't call you. But no one's with me, and I'm pregnant and have a child to take care of."As Luna spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears. She raised her hand to wipe them away. "I'm not even mobile, so I really had no other choice but to call you."She suddenly threw herself into Shayne's arms.Shayne instinctively wanted to push her away.Luna choked back her voice and said, "In a little while, you'll belong to Aralyn. I'll have to keep my distance from you by then, and I'll never be able to hold you like this again. So, now…"Luna raised her head, her teary eyes glistening. "Please don't reject me, okay?"Shayne looked at her face and wondered if Aralyn had been this helpless when he had just gotten together with him.He didn't know whether he wanted to atone for his past self and simply feel sorry for

I would rather use this time to relax than listen to annoying people say things that made me sick. Stunned, Shayne stood there, staring at the phone for a long time.Zach had said Aralyn was kind. And Shayne had naturally assumed that because of her kind-hearted nature, she wouldn't want to see him sad and that she would ultimately forgive him.But then he realized that was not the case. "What do I need to do for you to forgive me?""Nothing. We are over," I answered bluntly.After hanging up the phone, I lay down on the bed and pouted.I had blocked his number, and yet he still managed to contact me. How persistent.Unfortunately, his effort was misguided.Instead of thinking about this, I should now be thinking more about whether I should bring something when I go back to see Mom tomorrow and how to explain things to her so she wouldn't be angry. I placed my arm over my eyes.In Mom's eyes, I should never have gotten a divorce. But I didn't listen to her.She would surel

Julian chuckled. "Not eating breakfast until now is bad for your health.""I don't think I've been working for that long," I said as I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 10:10 am. I instantly felt a bit baffled.Julian's lips curved into a subtle smile. "For the sake of your health, you should eat some breakfast. I made scrambled eggs and some sides. Come downstairs and eat before you continue working.""Alright," I agreed immediately.I knew that skipping breakfast was bad for my health. Besides, as an adult, I should set a good example for the younger ones.Otherwise, if they saw me skipping breakfast, they might not want to eat either. That would be a problem.I walked downstairs alongside Julian."People used to call me a workaholic, saying my mind was always occupied with work. But you seem even more deserving of that title than I am." Julian sighed.I joked, "If I hadn't met you, I probably would never have found a boss as good as you. So, of course, I have to s

"How much is the internship salary for each employee? If they exceed their task requirements, how much of a commission do they get? You have to figure all of this out yourself. Once you have thought through these questions, your company will be ready for official operation," Danny concluded.Alice nodded, somewhat understanding. "Thank you, Dad.""You're welcome." Danny looked at Alice, feeling that the girl he and his wife had always cherished and protected seemed to have finally grown up.The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "If you run into problems you can't solve, you can always come to me. I will definitely help you.""You're the best, Dad!" Alice remarked playfully."Of course. You're my only daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?" Danny said proudly.After chatting with Danny a bit, Alice returned to her room. She took out her phone and sent a message to Joseph."I've written a lot of stuff. How about we meet tomorrow to go over eve

"If they're truly talented, they wouldn't need to take over the company. They might as well go find a job elsewhere. After all, it's more promising than working for us. The only people you can hire are those unqualified yet overconfident ones," Joseph remarked, smiling.Lucas sighed. "Why did you come back? Need something?"Did he suddenly realize how tough it was outside and decide to return home for an easier life?Joseph took out a notebook and said, "Of course! I want to start a company. We already have a project. But we don't know how to manage it, so we wanted to ask you first."As Lucas stared at Joseph, he realized that Joseph had really improved after being away from the family.Before, when he tried to get Joseph to join his company, Joseph always said he wasn't interested.But now, he wanted to start his own business.Lucas sat down and shared all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years.Joseph didn't bother filtering what was good or bad; he just wrote every

"Otherwise, at the slightest disturbance, we'd start worrying about what we'll do in the future if their company goes bankrupt.""That's true." Joseph imagined himself running a major company and becoming number one in the industry, surrounded by people treating him like a star.He couldn't help but smile. "Alright! We'll do as you say!""Then go home and ask your dad how to manage a company. Remember to take detailed notes so you don't forget the most crucial and important points. I'll ask my dad as well. Don't worry. I'll write everything down."We'll have a discussion afterward. For the parts that are the same, we'll follow them. For the differences, we'll combine the best of both," uttered Alice.Joseph responded excitedly, "Alright."He had been troubled emotionally, thinking he shouldn't waver for another woman just because of what Alice said.But now, his mind was entirely focused on business.He believed that once he succeeded, women would naturally come to him and purs

But when he saw the high prices, he suddenly felt like it wasn't worth it. A regular apartment only cost a few thousand dollars a month. One night in a hotel cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was enough to rent a place for a whole year and even hire a housekeeper to clean up the place.In the end, Joseph booked a hotel for 200 dollars. After checking in, he realized that while it wasn't as luxurious as the expensive ones, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was still inhabitable.…Alice had finally found such a good way to earn money, so she wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. Even though she was already very frugal with her spending, and her salary and bonuses from the company were quite high, she had to admit that making a lot of money on her own still made her feel really happy.As she lay under the covers, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to expand her and Joseph's business. She also thought of how to make more people aware of them.However, A

So, Avery choosing another man was the reason he was so upset. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks. However, he remembered that Avery had never actually said she loved him. It was Alice who said it.It was because he saw Avery trying to please him that he naturally assumed Alice was right—that Avery had a crush on him.Joseph had a vague sense of unease. He turned around and went back to Alice's house. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell. "Hello?"Upon hearing this, Alice walked to the gate with a yawn. "What is it?"Joseph stared at Alice as he asked, "I wanted to ask… Avery has never loved me, right?"Alice was stumped by his question. How did he figure it out?She looked away, feeling a little guilty.Joseph's voice rose. "So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning? Why did you do it? Was it for revenge?"Since she had been exposed, Alice had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yeah, why else? You suddenly found a woman to date and called her my substitute. Y

"However, you need to let me finish. Being handsome is important, but it's not the most important thing. You and I both know that."Joseph was still very upset. "Yeah?"Alice continued, "A man's career is also very important. The reason she chose someone else now is probably because your career isn't successful enough. If you became the CEO of a publicly listed company right now and approached her, she'll think she hit the jackpot!"Joseph sneered and replied, "I get it now. When I return, I will do everything I can to build my career. Once I've succeeded, I will find her and tell her about the great man she missed out on!"Alice awkwardly looked away. If he went to find Avery, she would be confused because she never liked him in the first place. However, Alice dared not say that. She merely smiled and said, "Then work hard!"Joseph was still feeling miserable.Alice thought that in this state, Joseph was particularly suited to working for her and helping her make money. "Constan

However, Joseph saw Avery open the door. She then wrapped her arms around the man's neck, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.Joseph felt like he had been struck by lightning. Didn't Avery like him? Why was she so affectionate with another man? Could it be that she was stringing him along?Joseph quickly turned around in a panic, took the elevator down, and left the building.…The man heard the noise and turned around. He looked at Joseph's retreating figure and asked, "Do you know him?"Avery shook her head and replied, "No."The man smiled and said, "Then he must have gone to the wrong floor. Avery, I miss you so much."Avery pulled the man into her room forcefully. She then slammed the door shut behind them.…Joseph ran out of the neighborhood. However, his face felt a little cold. He was crying.He had been abandoned by his family, and his friends weren't generous with him. He once thought there were still people who loved him, but the only person who secretly liked

Alice knew she could help. She knew her friends were inexperienced, so when they started their businesses, they were full of passion. However, they suddenly realized they didn't know what kind of projects to do once they had secured the venue, hired the people, and wanted to start the project.Alice thought that starting with them would be a good option. Sure enough, after sending out her message, she received responses full of complaints about how hard entrepreneurship was, how they were completely in the dark, and had no idea what projects to pursue or how to find business partners.She actively messaged them, carefully confirming their needs, and then passed the information on to Joseph one by one. Once Joseph received the information, he found that a large portion of it perfectly matched his friends' projects. Even if his friends were not working on related projects, he would find other people who could work with them.The both of them were very happy once they ensured that ev
