Kathy briefly clasped Wilson Henderson's hand before releasing it, eyeing him with suspicion. "So, where does the name Will Ryder come from?""Oh, that's just a stage name," Wilson replied casually.Kathy nodded, now enlightened."You weren't supposed to be here for the concert. Why the sudden change of plans?" Dominic interjected, showing his discontent at Wilson's unexpected appearance, disrupting their private moment."I'm here for the concert; I just found a replacement," Wilson clarified, nonchalantly resting his hands behind his head. His demeanor and actions seemed to be at odds with each other.Kathy took another careful look at the two brothers. They bore a strong resemblance, with Wilson exuding a sunny and outgoing personality, while Dominic appeared more stoic and dominant."Another replacement?" Dominic arched an eyebrow but chose not to comment further on Wilson's indifferent demeanor."Otherwise, should I sing, dance, and rap non-stop for three hours? That wouldn't be m
Kathy and Dominic swiftly settled back into their seats."Why are you back again?" Dominic sighed, addressing Wilson.Wilson chuckled as though he had missed the previous exchange entirely. "Brother, I just came to inform you that I'm leaving. Gotta make an appearance before calling it a day, right?""You don't need to announce your departure to me every time," Dominic remarked, waving his hand dismissively.Wilson departed with a smile, even winking at Kathy before exiting.Once the door closed, Dominic's demeanor soured."What's the matter?" Kathy, still a bit flustered from the recent interaction with Dominic, her face flushed, asked."Why is your face red?" Dominic inquired coolly, studying Kathy.Kathy suddenly tensed. "What?""It's nothing. Let's head home," Dominic said, shaking his head, letting out a sigh, and guiding Kathy out of the teahouse.Kathy glanced up at the sign of the establishment, "Clear Wind and Bright Moon," finding it apt for the ambiance of the show house.O
Kathy was surprised to see her and nodded, "Sure, but I have to finish processing the documents first." Maricela smiled, "I already took up your time, so of course I'll have to wait until you're free. I'm already grateful that you agreed." Kathy looked at Maricela as if she were a monster. Why did she suddenly change her attitude? There must be something fishy going on. Kathy didn't know what Maricela was up to. "It's okay, I'll come find you when I'm done."After Maricela gently closed the door, Kathy leaned back in her chair and watched her disappear. Her eyes unconsciously narrowed. After a moment of contemplation, Kathy decided to call Dominic.Kathy was surprised by the unexpected visitor and agreed, "I need to finish processing the documents before we can proceed." Maricela, appreciative of Kathy's agreement, remarked, "I've already taken some of your time, so I'll wait until you're available."Kathy's expression towards Maricela changed, giving her a suspicious glance. She f
"The sun unexpectedly rose in the west today!" Bridgette rubbed her glasses and peered up. The two individuals outside the window had already moved on."No, I must call Kathy!" Abigail grabbed her phone and stated."Abigail." Phoebe swiftly confiscated Abigail's phone. "Who is Kathy? She's an ancient demon who has existed for millennia. Can Maricela deceive her? Let's not intervene. If Kathy has a message, she will inform us.""Are you suggesting that Kathy is an ancient demon who has lived for thousands of years?" Abigail playfully kicked Phoebe's leg. "Have you forgotten how Kathy was tricked by Xavier in the past?""Xavier seduced Kathy with his charm. Maricela is a woman and cannot charm her. Without love, Kathy is simply an ancient demon. Has she ever been bested by anyone else? She's always the troublemaker." Phoebe rubbed his leg and remarked to Abigail.Abigail pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Never mind, I'll inquire with Kathy directly when she returns."Maricela and
"Are you still interested in making a transfer?" Kathy's heart was in turmoil, yet she managed to keep a calm expression as she raised an eyebrow and inquired of Maricela.Maricela nodded. "Yes, my family is facing some challenges. I've heard that the marketing department's combination of base salary and commissions can potentially yield thirty to forty thousand a month, so I want to give it a try."Kathy took a sip of her coffee and regarded Maricela with a half-smile. "Our colleagues in the sales department at Hcorp have years of experience in sales. Nonetheless, as you mentioned, only the top performers can reach the thirty to forty thousand range.""It's alright, I'm willing to put in the effort!" Maricela looked at Kathy with sincerity, showing her determination to work hard.Kathy shook her head. "Some things go beyond just working hard. Have you had any previous experience in marketing?"Maricela hesitated at the question, briefly biting her lower lip before shaking her head.J
"Do you have a moment to talk?""Of course, I'm available," Lena replied with a smile and asked, "Maricela, would you like to have lunch together?""I've ordered takeout, it should arrive soon. Let's skip the company cafeteria today."Was Maricela, known for her thriftiness, actually treating Lena to a meal? A sudden unease crept into Lena's heart."Maricela, is there something on your mind that you'd like to discuss?" Lena guided Maricela to a chair."Lena, ever since Kathy joined our company, she's been incredibly arrogant. I know you're also not fond of her behavior. I've thought of a way to address Kathy's arrogance."Lena felt she had stumbled upon something significant, noticing Maricela's eagerness to share her plan. With a concerned expression, she asked, "What approach are you suggesting?""How would you handle a woman as arrogant as Kathy?" Maricela playfully prodded.Lena shook her head, saying, "Don't tease me, Maricela. I don't have your intelligence!"Maricela grinned sm
"A contract? These people are too…" she accidentally blurted out.It was astonishing to discover that such a crucial document was being handled so carelessly, with completely inaccurate data and an incorrect quotation – it was off by ten percent. Should this flawed contract be signed, Hcorp would stand to lose money on the order and potentially face legal repercussions due to the erroneous data.Kathy felt her body tremble uncontrollably; she had personally drafted this contract. Who could have tampered with the data?Crumpling the contract into a ball, she threw it forcefully to the ground. After a moment, Kathy stooped down, unfolded the contract, fed it into the shredder, then proceeded to make a new copy of the flawed contract using the copier. She placed the new copy back in its original position, erasing any trace of her presence, determined to uncover the saboteur behind this deceitful act.After Kathy departed, a silhouette emerged in the Distribution department, visibly relie
Kathy let out a sigh and gently pressed her temple, gesturing around them. "Dominic, everyone is observing us."Dominic glanced around in surprise, following Kathy's indication. Indeed, the elderly diners nearby were all observing them.Possibly due to their extensive life experiences and lack of inhibition, the elderly individuals seemed unfazed. They took notice of the young couple and even greeted Dominic."Young man, is this your first visit here? Is the lady beside you your girlfriend? She's truly lovely!""What a charming pair they make!"Dominic's complexion turned even redder than Kathy's, his fair skin now flushed with embarrassment."Hahaha!" Kathy chuckled at Dominic's discomfiture. "Dominic, do you now see what I've been feeling? You're so observant, yet you didn't even notice the attention from these elderly folks when we arrived?"Teased by Kathy, Dominic shook his head with a hint of resignation and tousled her hair. "I'm just concerned about your well-being.""Why worr
