"You've gone too far!" Isabella exclaimed angrily."I'm just speaking the truth. How is it too far? If you don't like it, don't listen!" Kevin retorted irritably.He reached out his long arm and picked up a plate of codfish from the table for Isabella, affectionately advising, "Have some fish. It's good for the brain. I'll treat you to this codfish, so don't be polite!"After getting his meal, Kevin left gracefully.Isabella looked at the codfish on the plate as if it was mocking her. She wished she could smash the plate.Due to Kevin's argument with Isabella, many people in the restaurant recognized Jenna and started whispering. However, Jenna automatically ignored their gazes.Jenna said, "I'm going to the hospital to donate blood this afternoon, so I can't eat lobster at night. But I can treat you."She felt quite pleased watching Kevin scold Isabella."Donating love?""Let's call it that." Jenna thought about how Kevin had been protecting her and did not hide it. "My blood
The man’s cold and unkind words turned Isabella pale.Especially with so many other interviewees watching, she felt even more embarrassed."Secretary Smith," Quinn said to the scalded man, "Even if this interviewee splashed hot water on you accidentally, it’s still an act of misconduct. Go to the hospital for a medical evaluation, and she’ll be fully responsible for the medical expenses.""Yes."Then, the man's indifferent gaze fell on Isabella again. "If you're not satisfied, I can have my lawyer talk to you."Isabella did not expect that the CEO of Elysian Group would be so impolite to an interviewee. However, she could only force a smile and say, "Mr. Forester is right. I’ll take care of the medical expenses."Quinn did not pay any further attention to her and walked away with Secretary Smith. As he passed by Jenna, his gaze swept over her.Jenna noticed this and took a few steps back. "Mr. Forester, take care."Upon hearing her words, Quinn stopped in his tracks. "Why did y
"What's wrong with not daring to bet? Is it illegal?" Kevin huffed."This bet was initiated by Jenna," Isabella crossed her arms and retorted, looking coldly at Jenna, who had not spoken. "I just made a slight modification to the rules. If she disagrees, then the bet earlier was clearly a setup against me!""Hey, you..." Kevin furrowed his brow in anger, his hot temper flaring up again.He was about to yell at Isabella when Jenna suddenly spoke up, "Your modification isn’t bad. It's fair to both of us. However, I think it’s not exciting enough. How about this? The loser not only has to wear a bikini and dance at the cafe but also record it and post it on their Instagram for a week.""Fine, it's settled!" Isabella, seeing Jenna willingly jumping into the trap, felt like she was about to burst out laughing.She did not have confidence in getting first place, so she modified the rules to deceive Jenna.She did not expect Jenna to fall for it so easily!She knew Jenna's written test
Kevin applied for the Technical Security Department, and the interview process was not as complicated as Jenna's department. He passed it in the morning because of his technical expertise.He wanted to wait for Jenna to finish her exam in the afternoon and accompany her to the hospital.However, shortly after the two left the restaurant after lunch, Kevin received a call from Sam, asking for his help with something.He had no choice but to attend to Sam’s task.Meanwhile, Jenna rested in the resting area for a while before going to the exam at 2 o’clock with everyone else. Elysian was a large company, and the interviewees for different departments were located on different floors.Due to the unique interview process of the Translation Department, several conference rooms on the twelfth floor were assigned to them for the past few days.After the registration staff called their names, Jenna entered the designated examination room with another interviewee.Inside, Jenna noticed
After the twenty-minute oral interpretation session, the examiners quickly graded the candidates.Miss Brown walked with Jenna toward the conference room’s exit and complimented her. "Jenna, your interpretation skills are excellent! The overall results will be announced tomorrow morning. Even if your other scores aren’t satisfactory, based on today's exam alone, I can find a way to get you into Elysian."Miss Brown was not the invigilator for Jenna’s written test, but during lunch, she overheard other candidates saying that Jenna finished her paper quickly as if she did not know how to answer.Even if Jenna's overall score was not good enough, Miss Brown still had to find a way to get her into the Translation Department.After all, Jenna was Sam's future sister-in-law…Miss Brown's calculations and intentions were unknown to Jenna, who thought Miss Brown was misled by public opinion and believed she did not perform well on the written test, hence the comforting words.Thinking ab
Isabella realized that she was being played by Jenna. She was furious, wanting to go up to Jenna and tear her to pieces.Suddenly, Isabella caught a glimpse of the surveillance camera hanging on the wall in the meeting room next door. She quickly had an idea and sneered.…Jenna did not bother about what Isabella was going to do. She was a little tired after a day of exams at Elysian Group.However, she recalled that she had to go to the hospital to draw blood. When she went downstairs, she sent a message to Sam.Sam quickly replied. [Mr. Forester is going back to Portica to attend to something urgent. I’ll send him to the airport and will be back in about an hour.]Jenna typed. [Alright. I’ll go to the hospital first.]After Jenna replied to Sam’s message, the elevator arrived on the first floor. She walked out of the building through the revolving doors and stood on the side of the road to hail a cab.Seeing very few taxis on the road, Jenna turned on her phone and called for
The driver heard Shawn’s muffled groan and glanced at Shawn through the rearview mirror. “Mr. Sadler, are you okay?”“I’m fine.” The stuffiness in his chest quickly dissipated, and Shawn’s complexion soon returned to normal.Shawn lowered his glasses. “Have you found Yvonne?”“No, we can’t find her ticket purchase records at the high-speed rail station and the airport,” the driver replied and added his input, “Mr. Sadler, I think Yvonne is afraid that you’ll settle accounts with her, so she secretly fled by boat.”The driver’s guess made sense, but Shawn frowned and felt that something was off.In the past few years, Shawn had entrusted Yvonne with a lot of dirty work.Yvonne was smart, so she would leave some evidence against Shawn.Shawn knew Yvonne’s personality. If Yvonne knew that her reputation was ruined, she would definitely offer the evidence to him in exchange for a sum of money and his forgiveness.However, when Yvonne drove out in the morning, she disappeared quietl
“Hah!” Jacob laughed.Jacob wanted to say, “Your boss has no ethics, yet wants me to have medical ethics, huh?” However, Sam took out his phone, and Jacob just rolled his eyes.In the next second, Jacob put his arms around Jenna’s shoulders and smiled softly and considerately. “Babe, I’m just joking! Nothing will happen when you donate blood. Moreover, I’ll be here to serve you. Just don’t faint on me because I’m too handsome!”“Thanks a lot…” The corner of Jenna’s mouth twitched, and she slapped his hand away.After they arrived at the blood bank, Jacob took Jenna to do a set of checkups to confirm that she was in good health before he prepared to draw her blood.Jenna thought that the blood-drawing needle was similar to an injection needle. However, when Jacob opened the packaging, the thick and long needle scared her.Her arm trembled, and she quickly looked away.“Compared to Quinn, I’m indeed more handsome.” Jacob clicked his tongue. “I’m so handsome that you don’t even d
