Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 519
Actually, Liesel didn't mind these things. However, she was now managing the research department, and Howard was already a handful on his own. She didn't want to have to deal with another.She was already busy enough as it was recently, so she might not have the time to tame a second Howard. Not to mention, she wasn't sure how capable this person was.She sized him up. Her gaze swept over his unsettling purple hair.Yes, he was indeed a rebel. It wasn't going to be easy to handle him.Now that she had formed a preliminary judgment of him, her smile faded slightly.Thomas panicked. This time, he was completely flustered. All his arrogance from before had turned into embarrassment.Fuck, if he had known earlier that his soulmate was spearheading this department, he would have groomed himself properly! He would have dyed his hair dark and wore a black suit!"Ms. Sharp, this tattoo is just a sticker. I just thought it'd be fun to stick it on, but it'll come off after a few days!" he

All Thomas could think about was how excellent Liesel was. She had such a great character. Someone like her was perfect to become his wife.But what should he do now? How could he make sure that he could stay in Hardin Group and work alongside her?In just a few seconds, he went through an emotional rollercoaster. His emotions peaked then fell to rock bottom.Aaron kept brushing the hair on his forehead back. He said nervously, "Because you picked too few people, the HR department had to accept a few more."The other two interviewers also tried to explain."We lack too much manpower, so there was no other choice.""There's no one to clean the office, and we can't find anyone to take notes during meetings. See, Ms. Sharp, this is how much manpower we are lacking. We can lower the requirements appropriately for now and revisit them when we finally get the department up and running."New blood can always be trained. Academic background cannot speak for a candidate completely."The

Aaron's words actually did make sense.Thomas secretly let out a breath and unclenched his fists. He rubbed his hands on his knees, leaving wet sweat stains on the shiny leather material of his pants."Your last job was two years ago." Liesel regarded Thomas without a trace of a smile. "You're so young; this is the phase of your life that you should be hustling, so why is there a two-year gap in your career?"Her sharp gaze swept over his outfit. They were mostly from cheap, trendy brands. The leather on his shoes was already worn out, yet he didn't toss them. It didn't seem like he was from a well-to-do family.Despite not coming from a wealthy background, he still didn't work. It was inexcusable.He wasn't just rebellious; he was also lazy. This kind of employee would be very difficult to deal with. Liesel quietly shook her head.Thomas really wanted to wipe his face and sigh at the sky.In the past two years, he did nothing but modify motorbikes. Then, he'd invite his friend

Since Aaron had already brought this up, then Thomas could only continue the act. Otherwise, he'd give off the impression that he liked to fib, which was worse."Then, I was assigned to a different team. However, they isolated me and made me patrol the construction site alone at night."In truth, such things never happened. No one isolated him, much less bullied him. It was Thomas who one-sidedly bullied others. The only reason he went out at night was because he couldn't sleep and wanted to go on a stroll.Yet, he continued forlornly, "At the time, I never imagined that I would run into a group of troublemakers. I didn't know that some of my colleagues had made some enemies, and those people had called some villagers nearby to cause trouble."The villagers were very close-knit. Led by the perpetrator, they stormed the construction site and hurt my workers with a gardening hoe. I immediately flew into a rage and rushed over to fight them, injuring a few people. Therefore, my boss t

Thomas nodded obediently in response to Liesel's words."Also, it's your freedom to choose whether you like men or women. No one has the right to get involved."Actually, those words would have been very touching, except… Thomas really didn't like men!His mouth twitched. He could only laugh dryly, but he still felt warmth surface in his heart.Liesel was so great.After a few short questions, Liesel closed the interview with a final question. "What is your expected salary?"At Thomas' first job after graduation, he had ended up in a detention center because he was trying to save his workers. Then, after going through a criminal trial, he'd been abandoned by his peers because of his sexual orientation and lived the next two years of his life in loneliness.Knowing that he'd been through so much, Liesel wasn't going to dig deeper.She looked at the purple-haired Thomas with a gentle and soothing gaze.Thomas' heart jumped. He was both nervous and excited. Liesel was just so nic

With a pale face, Thomas planted his hand on the back of his chair and stood. With shaking knees, he forced himself to calm down before giving Liesel a deep bow. "Please give me a chance. I will work very hard!" he said lamely.Aaron and the other two interviewers reveled in his sorry state.Liesel walked around the desk and extended a hand to give him a handshake. Thomas immediately gripped her hand. He was stunned when he felt the softness of his palm."You're still young; there are plenty of opportunities out there. The research department has very high requirements, so your chances of getting hired are not high. I'd suggest you give the design department a shot. This is my name card. Take it and talk to the manager. He can find you a suitable position."After a few comforting words, she pressed a name card into his hand.Thomas' heart was bleeding. At the same time, he was lost in Liesel's gentle words of consolation and unable to escape from his infatuation. This mix of pai

What Thomas didn't see was Ethan—dressed in a black suit—pushing a wheelchair into Hardin Group. Upon catching sight of Thomas, Elijah lowered his gaze and said, "He looks familiar."Ethan immediately replied, "That's Thomas Keller, the son of Cameron Keller. It seems like Mr. Keller has his eye on Ms. Sharp and wants her to take his son under his wing."Cameron's son—that well-known rebel.Elijah remembered hearing that this person had a similar reputation to his. While he was known as Ashthorne's thug, Thomas was known as the thug of the neighboring city."Lili doesn't have time for that. Have someone turn down Mr. Keller's request."Ethan hesitated. "Mr. Keller offered an extra five percent on the new contract."How generous.Elijah's gaze darkened. "Do I need the money? Have someone turn him down.""Understood, Mr. Hardin."…After Thomas left, Aaron and the other interviewers went to the bathroom. Liesel stayed in the conference room. She was flipping through the remaini

Xavier looked like he was wondering why he was caught in their flirting. Liesel couldn't help but laugh. Elijah reached out to hold her hand. He massaged it gently. "Be good."As expected, she stopped playing around and smiled at him."Take Xavier to the research department to have a look. I saved him a room to learn and study in. It's right next to Howard's break room," Liesel said, chuckling. "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Of course, you can also bother Howard anytime."Naturally, she was in full support of Xavier bothering Howard.Xavier also caught the other meaning of Liesel's words, but he said nothing. Actually, she didn't have to say it. She was busy with Hardin Group's operations, and sometimes, she had to get involved in some of the projects and research, so she didn't have much free time. Only Howard was lazy and had free time on his hands."I get it."The employees in the research department were already a little demoralized because of

How could Yvonne say that her fans were for her to exploit? That was one way to drive her fans away completely. They weren't pathetic for wanting to idolize someone.Yvonne's remaining fans tagged her on Twitter to demand answers, but she dared not respond at all. A few of her die-hard fans were left dismayed and completely disappointed in her. This prompted them to announce their departure from the fandom. Meanwhile, her remaining fans were clueless and couldn't make much impact.The video exposing Yvonne's true colors triggered a new trend "A Discussion About The Relationship Between Idols And Their Fans". Many inevitably brought up Chelsea, and Damian's fans chimed in that he was even more gentle and considerate. He even beat up a worker for stalking his fans, and that revelation earned Damian more fans.The fiasco this time had caused a wave of discussion about fans in the entertainment industry. Fans were made aware of their status so they would understand that they weren't

"I don't believe idols are superior to their fans. We're equals—our bond is mutual. We're responsible for accompanying each other and growing together."Chelsea popped a signed photograph into a paper bag and handed it to her loyal fan next to her. She continued, "Some became my fans because of my looks and performance. "All these are definitely important, but I hope they continue being my fans in the future because of my character and excellent talents."I hope my fans will notice my efforts, and they'll do the same as I did—walk toward the future with determination. The fans' support and admiration will give me more confidence, and my hard work will also inspire my fans to be better."Chelsea confidently walked away from the crowd to Ophelia and took out a wet wipe to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Becoming a fan doesn't mean you should exhaust yourself. "Idolizing others is also a great way to improve yourself. An idol is like a guiding light. If she doesn't hel

While Ophelia had been quite harsh, her eyes turned red as soon as she spun on her heel. She had been Yvonne's fan for so many years and idolized her. It wasn't easy for Ophelia to simply dislike her right away.But Ophelia knew that she would really be a fool if she continued looking up to Yvonne. The snippet of the exchange ended there. After that, Ophelia and the others left the backstage area with reddened eyes. It was crowded outside the performance venue. Many held red LED boards, and some even held Chelsea's fan merchandise. One glance at them told Ophelia that they were Chelsians.While it seemed crowded, everyone was actually standing in two lines in an orderly fashion. Chelsea cheerfully handed out small gift bags to her fans. Afraid that Chelsea might exhaust herself, some fans took the initiative to help her hand out the bags. Others obediently distributed hot bubble tea Chelsea had bought as well. Since the weather was getting colder, she was worried that the fans wo

A twisted expression crossed Yvonne's face. "Your love for me has always been superficial! You supported me because of my looks!"Once better and prettier idols debut, you'll immediately switch sides and support them! Why should I give back so much to fans like you?"Yvonne pointed at the door. "Look how many people have shown support for Chelsea after she debuted? How many of my fans have turned into Chelsians and how many of them even started insulting me online?"Your support has always been ridiculous and superficial! What's wrong with me for taking advantage of people like you? "Fans who stan idols have always been childish and ridiculous! Serve all of you right for being so useless! Those in their right minds would never keep up with any idols!""Have you gone mad?" Ophelia couldn't help but push Yvonne aside. Ophelia couldn't believe that Yvonne, whom she had admired for so many years, had uttered such unkind words. Ophelia threw the LED board to the ground. The utter fo

The paparazzo burst into laughter. He held his stomach as he rolled on the couch in glee. "Oh, wow! You still invited your fans here in your current situation. They're really your diehard fans."A vein throbbed on Yvonne's forehead. She couldn't help but hiss under her breath. "Aren't you my fans? Since you are, you should be on my side and continue helping me!""We might be fans, but does that mean you can treat us as fools?"While Ophelia's eyes had gone red, she did not hold back as she lashed out at Yvonne. "You already knew that we're just useless female students. Why did you even message us privately and invite us to the performance venue?"We worried about you. We showed up with light sticks and gifts, just hoping to let you know we were still here and that we still had your back. "And what did you do? What are fans to you, Yvonne? Are we even people in your eyes? Or are we just tools—things you can use and toss aside whenever you feel like it?"Yvonne froze. Meanwhile, t

Yvonne opened the door and was startled by the sight of Ophelia and her friends. She patted her chest. "When did you guys arrive? Don't you know how to knock on the door?"Ophelia and her two friends stared at Yvonne with reddened eyes and did not respond. Yvonne recalled the public's opinions toward her as well as the online criticism toward her fans. Their expressions made Yvonne feel rather sympathetic toward them. Since their eyes had turned red, she believed they must have cried out of exasperation after learning that Yvonne was being bullied in the group. They really did seem to be her true fans. "Come in." Yvonne gestured with her chin. After the three entered the lounge, Yvonne handed them three bottles of juice. "Have something to drink for now. I'll take you out for a bite later."Ophelia held the bottle of juice but did not drink it. Finally, Yvonne noticed that each of them was holding a cat doll. "Are you giving me these cat dolls as presents?"The three did not say

Yvonne's chest ached, making it hard for her to breathe. The words Ophelia once said had left her feeling extremely miserable. Yvonne sat at the table and sobbed."Chelsea became what others have always dreamed to be because she didn't need any persona. She always shone the brightest on stage. Chelsea can lead her fans into a brighter future, and you'll only lead us into darkness and nightmares."Those were Ophelia's last words before leaving. Until now, her words haunted Yvonne like a relentless nightmare. It was like a projector that couldn't be switched off, replaying over and over that she was nothing compared to Chelsea.How did that happen? Ophelia was Yvonne's fan, and Yvonne believed Ophelia, the daughter of the Fords, should always be her fan. Yvonne wiped her tears away. As soon as she turned around, she saw the cat doll Ophelia had given her as a final gift. These days, Yvonne took the cat doll with her everywhere. She still kept it with her even while filming a self-

At Ashthorne Studios, the director announced, "Alright, cut! That's a wrap, everyone. Great work today! You can all head off to the hotel and get some rest." Crew members chuckled and began filing out. They were chatting as they made their way to their rooms.But Yvonne, who was still on set, was fuming as she clutched her phone. She had seen Ophelia's reply, and it only made her angrier.One of her assistants, who was trailing behind with genuine concern, asked, "Yvonne, are you alright? Feeling unwell?""Get lost!" Yvonne snapped, glaring. "You're an eyesore!"The assistant shrank back, clearly frightened and hurt by her harsh tone.Yvonne hurried off to her hotel room with her phone clutched tightly as she replayed a particular video over and over. There was no mistaking that the person in the video was one of her biggest fans from back in the day, the same fan who had once waited for her at the airport in Huntaria.A seething mix of jealousy, anger, and bitter resentment chur

Ophelia was done with Yvonne. Unable to hold back her emotions any longer, she took to Twitter to attack her."Did you really think that every gift I painstakingly made was worthless? After years of devotion, the person I once adored has become completely unrecognizable. When I confronted her, she acted as if nothing was wrong."She even claimed that because I was her fan, I had no right to criticize her. I find that utterly absurd."I once asked her what a fan meant to her, and she dismissed us as shallow, saying our love was something that could be discarded. I always believed an idol should be the pillar of her fans' dreams, a beacon of hope. "But the Yvonne I loved—the one who shone so brightly in pursuit of her dreams—was gone."So, from that day on, I severed all ties. The doll I once gave her on Twitter was my final farewell gift. It was a proper goodbye, not a sign of regret. I stopped logging into that account because I wanted to leave with dignity."And don't say Chels
