The security guards nodded earnestly as they hung onto Jean's every word. They looked very respectful."Understood, Ms. Michaels."After hearing that, Jean stepped into the elevator.Joyce watched Jean enter the elevator with a sigh. She continued to speak, "Jean, I'm your sister. I'm just giving you some sound advice. Tyler is not to be trusted. You should know that in life, you can only rely on yourself and your own family."Jean furrowed her brows slightly, and her gaze grew heavy. Once the elevator doors closed, Jean didn't hear a single word of whatever Joyce continued to say.However, the few words she had caught from Joyce had definitely sparked some annoyance in her. Tyler had noticed that Jean hadn't come back up yet and wanted to go look for her. Just as he reached the elevator, he saw Jean walk out of it.Jean looked at Tyler with the files in hand. She regained her composure and forced out a small smile as she said, "Isn't the meeting about to start? Where are you g
Robin noticed that Jean seemed a bit troubled and couldn't help but say, "Well, that would make sense. Seeing how much Mr. Larson cares about you, he definitely wouldn't let you go out with me."Jean pursed her lips and asked softly, "But I can't rely on him my whole life, can I?"Robin raised an eyebrow at that. "Why can't you? Do you know how lucky you are to have someone to rely on in life?"Look at me. I can't find anyone who I can rely on. Did someone say something to you?"Robin had sharp senses.Jean paused for a moment. Then, she asked warily, "Am I really that obvious?"Robin nodded in response."Yeah. You're very obvious. Did someone tell you something that affected your mood?" Robin asked.Jean took a deep breath and rubbed her forehead."Joyce," she replied.At the mention of Joyce, surprise flashed in Robin's eyes. However, she quickly regained her composure."She came to see you?" Robin asked.Jean nodded.It was clear that Joyce had visited Larson Group earl
Tyler couldn't bear to let Jean wait too long. After the higher-ups left, he waved her over.Upon seeing Tyler's gesture, Jean immediately walked into his office with a smile on her face.Before Tyler could inquire about what Jean wanted to talk to him about, Jean said in a low voice, "Tyler, I'd like to move out."Tyler's expression instantly changed, and he turned pale.His eyebrows were furrowed tightly as he looked at the woman before him with confusion."What did you just say?"Tyler's tone was unusually stern.Jean pursed her lips upon noticing his serious expression and felt momentarily intimidated. However, she quickly regained her composure and met Tyler's gaze fearlessly."I want to move out of Larson Residence and Teak Villa," she said.Taking a deep breath, his gaze turned serious as he looked at Jean."Why would you suddenly want to do that?" he asked.Jean bit her lip lightly, and her gaze turned somewhat coy as she looked at Tyler.Seeing the change in Jean's
Jean's request stirred something in Tyler's heart."So tell me, what exactly is your plan?" Tyler asked.Hearing that, Jean knew that she had a chance of convincing him."Dating is something that has to be done between the both of us. I haven't made any arrangements for what comes next. But … would you be okay with me moving out?" she asked.Tyler looked at the mischievous expression on Jean's face for a moment before putting down his pen."Where do you plan to move to, then?" he asked in a low voice.This question left Jean momentarily speechless.Tyler kneaded his brows when he saw that Jean hadn't even thought that far ahead."Since you haven't figured that out yet, let's stop discussing this now for now," he said.Jean remained speechless. At that moment, Robin knocked on the door and walked in to report on some work matters.Jean hurriedly grabbed Robin's arm and said, "I'll move to a place near Robin's."Tyler raised an eyebrow upon hearing that.Robin couldn't help b
Robin looked touched after hearing what Tyler said.When Jean and Tyler first got married, Robin had already been working as an intern alongside Tyler.She could confidently say that she had witnessed the progress of Jean and Tyler's relationship from the very beginning.Upon seeing how great their relationship seemed at this moment, Robin couldn't help but feel envious.Jean had suffered many hardships to get to where she was today. She deserved Tyler's kindness and affection.After that, Robin walked out of Tyler's office.Jean immediately lifted her head to look at Robin.Robin approached Jean and saw that the latter was working on Tyler's itinerary."Are you done? We'll head straight to the project department once you finish," Robin said softly.Jean responded promptly, "I'll be done soon. Give me a few minutes."Robin hummed in acknowledgment. "Alright. Come find me in my office after you're done. We'll leave together."Jean nodded in agreement.After completing the it
Jean blushed from embarrassment and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean you had to do it like … that."Seeing how embarrassed Jean looked, Tyler's lips curled slightly into a smile as he chuckled."Well, regardless of what you meant, you're the only one I want to love so passionately," he said.Jean bit her lip lightly and felt reassured by Tyler's words.Looking at Tyler, she reached out to hug his waist and replied, "When I told you I wanted to move out earlier and you didn't stop me, I actually felt quite upset."I thought you didn't love me enough, and that's why you were okay with letting me move out."Jean expressed her feelings quietly.Upon hearing that, Tyler gently stroked Jean's soft cheek and said in a deep voice, "It's because I love you too much. That's why I'm willing to grant your every request."Tyler's words made Jean's lips immediately curve into a smile.At this moment, Rowena knocked on the door.Jean hurriedly jumped off the desk, looking incredibly embarrass
Tyler remained indifferent as he regarded Rowena.Then, he said in a deep voice, "Wouldn't that be a good thing? We'll take that opportunity to demand a penalty fee from Page Co."Upon hearing that, Rowena appeared stunned. Then, she nodded and dared not say anything more. She hurriedly took the document and left Tyler's office.In the meantime, Jean reviewed the documents Robin had just given her.She didn't want to show up at the project department with no knowledge of anything.When Rowena walked out of Tyler's office, she glanced at Jean.In turn, Jean looked up to meet Rowena's gaze. Her gaze instantly became more cautious.Smiling, Rowena asked softly, "Ms. Michaels, what are you looking at?"Jean immediately flipped all the documents she had opened closed.After all, Robin had been the one to give her the materials, and the project in question was one Robin was responsible for. Rowena and Robin were competitors in Larson Group.Jean was well aware of their competitive
Jean shook her head slightly and said calmly, "It's not that. I just don't like her."Robin glanced at Rowena, who was keeping busy at her desk. Then, she smiled slightly. "I suppose that's fair. But to be honest with you, Ms. Quigley's work ethic is very good."Although her personality isn't anything to shout about, the work she does is quite commendable. Larson Group is a huge company, so ambitious employees can only benefit the company."Speaking of which, I was the one who interviewed Rowena when she first applied to join the company."Jean raised an eyebrow slightly at that. She admired how open-minded Robin was.After all, not everyone could be as composed as Robin. Even though Robin knew that Rowena had her eyes on the position of chief secretary, the former was still able to act so calmly."Aren't you worried that Rowena will surpass your achievements one day? What if you get replaced by her?" Jean asked straightforwardly.Robin answered without pretense as well, "Of cou
