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

Liesel could feel Howard's attacks getting weaker. She quickly wrote another program, and in the next second, the door to Howard's break room opened.How come Howard had let her break through his firewall so quickly?No matter how she looked at it, he wasn't that understanding of a person.Cocking an eyebrow, she saw that Xavier had shut down Howard's computer.Exactly. The room that Liesel had arranged for Xavier was right next door to Howard's, so he'd just entered through the window.Howard was sitting on the couch with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, looking rough around the edges. He didn't seem anxious nor mad. He simply spat the unlit cigarette into the trash can at the side."So, why did you go through all that trouble to look for me?" he asked while rubbing his eyes. He did look rather tired, with dark circles lurking beneath his eyes."Xavier is planning to join the research department. Take him under your wing.""Oh, has he thought it through?" Howard's eyes lit

"You must be Elijah," Howard said leisurely.Before Elijah could say anything, Liesel's expression turned chilly. Looking down, she said coolly, "He is my fiance. He's the one I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with.""I didn't say anything." Howard shrugged lazily."You'd better not say anything in the future." Liesel regarded Howard. "He is the person I chose. No one can make any decisions for me. He's the only one that I'll love."Who was she implying?It was Heather.Howard caught onto that. His gaze darkened slightly, but he still kept up his uncaring facade. "That's your business. It has nothing to do with me.""Liesel, it's my fault," Xavier couldn't help but say. His voice was slightly hoarse.Actually, he still hadn't moved on from the nightmarish car accident the other day.To Xavier, there was nothing wrong with Elijah. The latter loved Liesel enough to give her everything. As a man himself, he knew that Liesel was all Elijah cared about and that he would

"People always say that family doesn't mean much when you're gravely ill. And that's not all. They're not even related by blood. They're just lovers.""If it were me… those assets might keep me happy for a while, but I don't think I could really accept taking care of him for the rest of my life."The researchers murmured amongst themselves. They thought that they were being quiet. However, Liesel and Elijah could actually hear every single word.Elijah's face remained calm, but his hand slowly tightened on the armrests.Liesel's grip also tightened.She couldn't bear to listen to this.She turned around, and her gaze was razor-sharp. "All of you, hand in your resignation letters to the HR department. Hardin Group will compensate you accordingly."Hardin Group didn't need these people.The employees exchanged glances. The leader of the group flushed. "Ms. Sharp, we—we didn't do anything wrong though…"They would be crazy to take a few months' worth of severance pay and leave Ha

When it came to writing reports, data analysis, and sorting documents, Austin completed all of it on his own. He was quick and delivered good work. Even with a workload that other employees couldn't even finish working overtime, he was always able to submit on time.As if to build relationships, he would always work overtime every day and help others with work.After half a month, he'd already blended in with everyone else. Everyone greeted him with a warm smile when they saw him, and they never ran out of praise for him.This made Liesel think back to her school days when she had been equally as stupid.In high school, she had done the same thing. She would always help people with the work that they couldn't finish, thinking that it was the best way to grow closer to others and become one of them.However, she was wrong.No matter how much labor an old ox did, it would never integrate into human society.Also, at the time, she had gone to a high school for the wealthy, while

Thomas hurriedly nodded, and his ears had turned red. Liesel considered everything for him. She really was amazing, and that made him like her even more. There was a fork ahead of them. Thomas, who had been secretly joyful, froze instantly. As Liesel stopped, she suddenly felt like she had meddled too much. Some liked to work hard and achieve success, while others preferred to go with the flow. Everyone had their own ways of living. Liesel was being ridiculous by planning Thomas' life with her own ideas."Sorry, I always like making plans. All I can think of is getting promotions and higher pay." Liesel massaged her temples as she smiled helplessly. "You can do whatever you want. I'm just giving you a suggestion.""I know. Thank you, Ms. Sharp." Thomas gripped the cart handles tightly. Liesel's suggestion was fantastic, but Thomas couldn't see her if he went to work in the workshop. He might as well continue working as a laborer.There were two different routes ahead, and th

All of Thomas' messy thoughts faded away. Instead, his heartbeat began racing like mad. The elevator space was so narrow. He couldn't help but touch his chest, fearing that Liesel could hear his pounding heartbeat."Got it, Ms. Sharp. I'll work hard," Thomas replied earnestly. He was willing to do anything for Liesel.Liesel scrutinized Thomas for a moment before smiling in relief. She knew how it felt to be stuck in a tough situation. She always couldn't help but give a chance to those struggling and lend them a hand."I asked you to learn a few things about logistics because I want you to know that you should always advance in your career. Never give up if there's something you're better at."The freight elevator doors slid open, and Liesel wheeled the cart inside the elevator. Thomas hurriedly trailed after her while paying attention to her words.If Cameron knew how obedient Thomas was out there, he would definitely cry tears of relief. "Save up some money first and settle

Liesel's frown faded away, and she looked at Thomas gently. "Before leaving the research department that day, I noticed that the logistics department was hiring. It doesn't matter what I do as long as it's a job. That's why I went for the interview," Thomas explained.Thomas couldn't tell Liesel that his father, Cameron Keller, had arranged for that job as a punishment for him. As long as Thomas could see Liesel daily, he was willing to take on any job. It didn't matter, even if he had to work as a laborer, food delivery driver, or security guard.Thomas, whose heart was beating like mad, remarked awkwardly. "My job at the logistics department is quite lucrative. I get about three thousand dollars a month."Thomas vowed to give up his salary every month to Liesel in the future. As he looked up, his sly gaze had turned innocent. The corners of her lips lifted, and Liesel couldn't help but chuckle. She always remained alert whenever she worked with those old codgers at Hardin Grou

It was hard to describe Liesel's radiant beauty, making it hard for anyone to resist her. Men and women alike stole a few more glances whenever they walked past her. Thomas Keller abruptly came to his senses and asked his companion to push the cart. "You can take this."His companion noticed Thomas' flushed face and understood instantly. He began teasing Thomas. "What? Not brave enough to walk past her? If you won't do it, I will."Thomas patted his sweaty palms against his blue uniform before adjusting the brim of his cap. He fixed his gaze in Liesel's direction.He stood rooted to the same spot and dared not to move. He was afraid that he might startle Liesel, who wasn't far away.Thomas' two companions teased him a while longer before wheeling the large boxes away. Initially, the two men were having a jolly time together, chatting and laughing. Yet they lowered their heads and stopped talking. They walked past Liesel in silence. Liesel took a few steps back. She stared at a
