Early in the morning the next day, Louise knocked on Emily's door. "Emily, you asked me to find a nanny for you, and I've found a suitable one," Louise, still full of energy, gave Emily a warm hug and introduced her. "This is Teresa. I've checked her background already. Everything is fine. I agreed with her that she would work for you for a month as a trial run," Louise explained. "I'm sure you'll get me the best," Emily said. Teresa was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was slightly plump, and the details of her dress suggested that she was a very neat person. When Chris and Diane woke up and went downstairs, they saw a strange middle-aged woman cooking. They quickly ran down. "Mommy, who is she?" Chris and Diane asked. "She is Teresa. She is here to help me take care of you," Emily said gently. "Hi, Teresa," the two kids weren't shy with strangers and introduced themselves to Teresa. "You are so cute!" Louise pinched their faces. "Louise, I'm not a three-
"Chick, go home and find yourself a husband. You are not welcome here," a bald, middle-aged man took the lead and said. Emily thought, 'Everyone became quiet, and he was the first to speak. It means he is a person of high standing among them.' Emily sized the man up. "Before you point your fingers at me, you should tell me your name. This is rude." Emily sounded tough. The man's face stiffened. He said, "I'm Hans, an executive in the branch." "Good. I like people with courtesy." Emily nodded. "It's my first day here. What is it that makes you feel the need to barge in altogether?" Hans unconsciously looked at the other man, and Emily immediately noticed. She followed Hans' gaze toward the man. Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, the man stepped forward. "Miss Hopkinson, I am Cecil. Like Hans, I'm also an executive here. I know it wasn't nice of us to barge in, but we had to. We were very anxious," Cecil spoke tactfully, and Emily could tell that he was the boss. "J
"Emily is Bennett's daughter. She promised that she would make the branch company profit in two months," Cecil emphasized this. "That's all I want to say. I just hope that Emily will fulfill her promise on time and not let everyone down." Emily looked at Cecil coldly, but she was not angry. She believed that it was a good thing to discover fishy guys. At the very least, Cecil couldn't get in her way in the future. "Alright, let's call it a day. I will clean up the office. Next, we will work hard together." After Emily finished speaking, she asked everyone to go back to work. She sat on the chair and heaved a sigh of relief. Although she had resolved this crisis, she didn't feel relaxed. She had anticipated many difficulties before coming here, but she still felt a lot of pressure when such a big thing happened as soon as she started working here. She cleaned the office desk. On the table was a photo of herself, Chris, and Diane. Looking at the smiles on the kids' faces, she
The Scott's. Because of the fright at night, Ian had nightmares and sweated in the middle of the night. Derek took care of him for the whole night. Ian was fine in the morning but had a fever in the evening. "Mommy, I want Mommy," Ian muttered in a low voice. "What did you say?" Ian's voice was too weak for Derek to hear, so he had to put his ear close to Ian's mouth. This time, Derek heard it, and his expression froze. He did not expect that although Ian said that he hated Rose, deep down, he wanted Rose's love. Derek did not hesitate for too long. He immediately called Charlie over. Charlie soon arrived. He lowered his head and gestured to Derek. "Charlie, call that woman and ask her to come here now." Derek took a deep breath. He was not even willing to call Rose by her name. Charlie knew Derek well. He knew who Derek was talking about. "Okay, I'll do it right away." Charlie immediately left to make the call. He was also worried about Ian. Charlie called Ros
At that moment, Derek was overwhelmed by anger and almost lost his mind. Rose was stunned. She put her phone behind her and then stood up. "Derek." Her voice trembled. She could feel Derek's burning anger, which frightened her a lot. She even wanted to prostrate herself in front of Derek and submit to him. "Is this how you take care of them?" Derek gritted. He tried to contain his anger, not wanting to be violent in front of his two children. Rose noticed that Derek was restraining himself. She looked at the children on the bed and explained, "Just now, Aaron's fever was gone, I swear. I played with my phone only to keep myself awake." "Then why don't you turn the volume down?" Derek said coldly. "Well..." Rose said slowly and racked her brains to find an excuse. "I just turned on the video and forgot to adjust the volume. I was also shocked. Please believe me." There was a genuine look on her face, and she found her excuse convincing. Derek closed his eyes and took
With the help of Teresa, Chris and Diane could also have a nutritious and delicious breakfast when Emily went to work. Emily checked her two children as usual and went to work after giving them a morning kiss. She was very busy this morning. Although she had learned about the situation in advance, the facts and the details were still different from her understanding. Recently, she had meetings with the staff of various departments, trying her best to familiarize herself with the business. Only then would she know the problems. "Good morning, Emily." Emily had intimidated the troublemakers on her first day at the company, which made her win others' approval and respect. People would greet her whenever they met her. Emily would respond to them one by one and take the chance to match them with their names and to remember every single one of them. Emily returned to her office after the morning meeting. She had just picked up the coffee that had turned cold and was about to d
Emily couldn't take it anymore. Louise finished the rest and complained, "I have to work out for one extra hour today!" At first, Louise wanted to take Diane and Chris out to have some fun, but they hadn't seen Emily for the whole morning and only wanted to stay with Emily. Thus, Louise went to the gym alone. "After I finish exercising, I can eat more tonight." Louise waved her fist and fought for the sake of nice food. "Mommy, let us stay here with you." Diane shook Emily's finger. "Mommy, we will be quiet," Chris promised. Emily surrendered when she saw the eagerness in their eyes. "Then let's make it clear first. Only for this time." Emily compromised. Emily was busy with her work. Chris and Diane sat on the sofa and looked at her quietly. Perhaps because the sunlight was warm or they were relaxed when they were with their mother, they soon fell asleep. When Emily finished her work and looked up, she saw two angelic sleeping faces, and her heart softened. She took
The car drove into the Hopkinson's. When Rose got into the car, Ian turned his head away and did not look at her. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and didn't look happy. Aaron was also unhappy. Derek glanced at them and did not say anything. "Ian, are you alright? Aaron, have you been good lately?" Rose asked with a smile. Derek did not allow Aaron to play number puzzles in the car, so Aaron kept his head down and focused on his fingers. He did not respond to Rose's words, and Ian ignored her. "They are pretty good." Seeing that Aaron and Ian did not say anything, Derek answered Rose for them. "Derek, as for the problem with our company's firewall..." Rose continued to ask. "Daddy, where are we going?" Ian suddenly asked Derek. He interrupted Rose on purpose. Ian believed that as long as he kept talking to his daddy, the annoying Rose would not be able to approach Derek. "Ian, she is your mother. Don't be rude to her." Derek frowned. Although he doted on Aa
