Daniel explained, "Some middle school students come from difficult backgrounds, so they hope to earn some tuition money. If the interviewee is really good, we can hire them. If they choose to pursue a design major in college, the boss will help cover their tuition fees, and they can join the company directly after graduation."Emily suddenly remembered that she had worked part-time during her middle school years.To earn money for Sophia, she often took on part-time jobs."This is a good thing. We should give children with dreams a chance," Emily nodded. "I think this approach is excellent. It helps the company attract talent early and provides financial assistance to students from less privileged backgrounds, giving them a chance for a better future and education."Daniel felt proud. "This idea was proposed by the boss. He said at the beginning of his startup that many outstanding students are unable to attend college due to financial difficulties, which is a regret for both society
Emily's barrage of questions caught the female student completely off guard.Daniel’s expression darkened as well. He adjusted his glasses and spoke sternly, "Honesty is a fundamental principle for doing business. Our company doesn't hire dishonest employees."The female student took a deep breath, her eyes darting around nervously, clearly feeling guilty.She bit her lip tightly, seemingly trying to come up with an excuse.But Emily wasn’t in a hurry. She just smiled slightly and continued to watch the girl quietly.Finally, the student came up with what she thought was a perfect excuse: "My boyfriend paid for all of it. He’s well-off, so everything I bought was with his money."Daniel leaned in and whispered to Emily, "Ma'am, what do you think…?"Emily smiled, "Oh, that's right. I almost forgot you have a boyfriend.""Yes, you even saw him at the cinema that day. My hair, my phone, everything was paid for by him. I really don’t have much money of my own."Emily nodded, acknowledging
Mr. Satan leaned down and asked her, "Did you notice that girl was pregnant?"Emily nodded slightly. "Yeah, I noticed last night at the movie theater. Her belly isn't small, probably around the same stage as mine."She looked up at Mr. Satan and met his gaze. "I'm not doing this out of personal spite. But she's pregnant, and I guess she'll have to take a break from school or even drop out soon. She might not even get her high school diploma. Do you think she can still go to college? And with how recklessly bold she's acting right now, what if she ends up miscarrying? Wouldn't your company have to take responsibility?"Mr. Satan couldn't help but tap her on the nose, smiling. "You think of everything.""Oh my God, what did I just see! My eyes!!!" Ken suddenly yelled out dramatically.All the employees turned to look at them.They saw their boss acting like a bodyguard, wrapping Emily up tightly. They were stuck together like conjoined twins.Daniel clicked his tongue twice. "They're be
Thanks to Daniel and Ken, Emily quickly blended into the company.In the afternoon, Daniel held a meeting to discuss the apartment project.The blueprints were enlarged on the screen. Since they were hand-drawn and several years old, many of the details were no longer very clear.For the first time ever, Mr. Satan attended the meeting. No one seemed particularly interested in the mask on his face."They only care about work and their paychecks. Who signs them isn’t important," Mr. Satan explained.Emily nodded.Seeing the two of them close and whispering, Daniel joked, "Boss, could you be a bit more serious during the meeting? If you want to have a romantic chat, do it in the CEO’s office. You’ve been flaunting your relationship in front of all us single people all day—it’s too much!"Everyone followed Daniel’s gaze.Emily blushed and quickly pushed Mr. Satan away.But since Mr. Satan was sitting right next to her, his arm still rested on her back, and he leaned toward her without any
The party was scheduled for after work on Friday.The Starlight Entertainment building had several large halls, typically used for grand award ceremonies. The halls were spacious enough to comfortably accommodate both companies’ attendees.When Emily arrived with Mr. Satan, they only saw Allen Parker."Mr. Parker.""Emily.""Is Olivia not coming today?" Emily asked.Allen Parker smiled. "She... is still asleep."It was already past six in the evening, and she was still asleep?Hearing this, Mr. Satan smirked, pulling Emily closer. "Emily, let’s head inside."Emily, still concerned, asked, "Is Olivia sick? Why else would she still be asleep?"Mr. Satan leaned down to whisper in her ear, "…They probably stayed up too late last night… in bed."Emily’s face instantly turned red.She bit her lip, speechless.Seeing her reaction, Mr. Satan chuckled. "There’s nothing surprising about it. They’re grown adults and in the throes of a new relationship—it’s perfectly normal."Emily, still worried
Emily calmly replied, "My mother only gave birth to me; I don’t have a sister. I’m not sure who you’re talking about.""Are you pretending not to know?""And you’re doing the same."With just a few words, Emily effortlessly deflected Chloe’s attempt at provocation.Chloe’s lips were painted a striking red, and when she curled them into a smile, it gave her an air of harshness. "You’ve changed now that you have powerful backing. Marrying into the Norman family has really boosted your confidence. You’ve developed quite the temper.""We’re all the same," Emily said calmly. "Allen Parker and Olivia’s wedding is coming up soon. All your efforts have been in vain."Chloe’s face paled.She clearly didn’t expect Emily to know about her attempts to seduce Allen Parker.Chloe had entered the entertainment industry with the goal of marrying into a wealthy family. Allen Parker had indeed been her target, but with Emily being away from the company recently, how did she find out?"You seem to know
"Are you shy?" Satan asked, holding her close."Yes," Emily admitted.Satan tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. "I’m a little shy too."Emily glared at him. "Then why did you do that?""I couldn’t help myself."Emily’s face turned even redder.His voice dropped to a low murmur. "I couldn’t help wanting to tell the whole world that you’re mine."Emily playfully smacked him. "We both have a lot on our shoulders. It’s better to keep a low profile.""I know that," Satan replied, unable to suppress a smile. "But I just couldn’t help myself, so I did it."Emily teased, "We got kicked out because of you.""Are you blaming me?""Of course! You attract too much attention from the girls. Even with a mask on, you can’t stop them from admiring you."Satan chuckled. "Are you jealous?""No.""Really?""Really.""Alright, alright, you’re not jealous," Satan said, "So, where should we go now?"Emily wasn’t sure where they should go.Should they return to the company? Bu
Meanwhile, Allen Parker took Mr. Satan to his office.The entire floor was spacious and bright, filled with all kinds of relaxation and entertainment facilities—there was a movie room, a gaming room with the latest computers, and even a private dining area with a fridge packed full of goodies.Satan saw through it immediately. "You set all this up for Olivia, didn't you?"Allen Parker grabbed two cans of beer from the fridge, keeping one for himself and handing the other to Mr. Satan. "Who else? You know I never touch snacks."Mr. Satan chuckled, popped open the beer, and clinked it with Allen's. "Congrats, you finally got what you wanted.""Thanks," Allen Parker said with a faint smile. "By the way, about the Norman family... have you figured out what you're going to do?"Mr. Satan pressed his lips together tightly and shook his head. "My dad and grandma still want me to take over the Norman family business. I’ve refused so many times, but they just won’t give up."Allen Parker repli
