Her desserts were just as good as those at Sam's Club, but in their own unique way.I used to think I was a decent cook, but ever since I started working and Luke took over my meals, my cooking skills have completely deteriorated. Marianne and the company chef spoiled my palate, and now my cooking skills are mediocre at best.Marianne is an incredible cook who continuously strives to improve. She is a role model for me.After finishing the cake, I reached into my bag for a tissue to clean my hands and mouth, but Luke handed me a handkerchief instead.To my surprise, he seemed to have a handkerchief ready at all times.I was about to decline, but Luke insisted, "Keep it.""Thank you, Mr. Walker."Luke was my boss, so it would have been impolite to refuse if he insisted.I expressed my gratitude and accepted the handkerchief.Luke's handkerchiefs, like his attire, were dark, soft, and elegant. He had a keen eye for quality.However, thinking of Joey, I folded the handkerchief a

Grandpa Shaw initially only noticed the pear lozenges, unaware that someone had sat down next to him. He coughed lightly, straightened up, and composed himself before looking at me.His reaction was both amusing and heartwarming. I couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, it's me!""I thought someone was trying to bribe me!" he said, reverting back to his usual kind manner and reaching out once again.In the next moment, Professor Killiney snatched the lozenges away. "You're getting greedier with age. I'll keep these for you and give them to you in small portions each day."That was exactly what I had in mind!Grandpa huffed and puffed, trying to get his lozenges back.Professor Killiney put the candy in his messenger bag along with his water bottle and tissues. "Calm down. You can have two a day. If you want them back, it'll only be one every other day."Professor Killiney was bigger and more stubborn than Grandpa. Unless he decided to return the lozenges, Grandpa's attempts to grab th

"No overtime is good! Working late nights damages your health. Young people these days don't understand self-care. When they get older and develop all sorts of ailments, they'll realize the importance of good health. Too sick to die, but suffering while alive, endlessly running to hospitals - that's when they'll understand."Grandpa Shaw and Professor Killiney had lived through tough times, experiencing many hardships. Back then, they lacked the energy, ability, and money to take care of their health, leaving them with chronic issues. They spoke from experience.I nodded in agreement.Professor Killiney glanced at me but said nothing more.His look clearly held some other meaning, but with his odd temperament, I couldn't decipher it and didn't dare ask.Luke's gaze passed over me imperceptibly, settling on the center of the arena.By now, spotlights illuminated the center stage.The auction started soon after, beginning with European royal jewelry. These pieces, steeped in herit

A man willing to spend 7 billion on a crown - that kind of gesture would be hard to refuse.Mr. Thomas from Felfast was clearly trying to outdo Luke. He wouldn't let Luke get the crown easily and would keep driving up the price.There were several times I wanted to stop Luke from bidding further, but I was afraid he might regret it if he didn't win.This was his business. If he wanted to be foolish with his money, it wasn't my concern!After repeating this to myself a few times, I calmed down.To my surprise, Luke suddenly stopped bidding. When he put down his paddle and the auctioneer struck the gavel, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you giving up?""Mr. Thomas seems more interested in it."Luke's expression remained unchanged, showing no regret or disappointment. His poker face was impeccable!I glanced back at Mr. Thomas, sitting not far away.He was staring intently at Luke, seemingly shocked that he'd given up so easily.When the hammer fell three times, finalizing the sal

I was shocked by Professor Killiney's wealth, considering his interest in bidding on such an expensive 1800s antique landscape painting that had such a high starting price.Five minutes later, the bidding for the antique landscape painting began.Grandpa Shaw firmly held onto Professor Killiney's hand, signaling Luke to raise the paddle.Luke complied perfectly.Professor Killiney scowled, saying, "Let go!""Stop fussing! You're Jon's teacher now, and we haven't discussed your salary yet! When you sign the contract, you can lower your fee a bit to repay this favor," Grandpa said, holding onto Professor Killiney's arm. "One must be flexible, not too rigid. You'll paint yourself into a corner that way."Professor Killiney remained silent. After a half-minute standoff, his raised arm slowly lowered."That's more like it! How would you manage without me keeping an eye on you?" Grandpa beamed.I watched with a smile.Luke's strategy worked perfectly. As he predicted, the bidding we

"It really proves that human desire is an unfillable pit."Having already won the antique landscape painting from the 1800s, Grandpa had lost interest in the remaining auctions. He yawned, looking drowsy.Professor Killiney glanced at Grandpa Shaw and said to Luke, "After you complete the paperwork, send me the bill. I'll transfer the money to you.""Alright."Professor Killiney patted Grandpa Shaw's shoulder. Grandpa lifted his heavy eyelids and asked, "Is it over?""Let's head back to the hotel.""What are we waiting for? Let's go!"Hearing that they could leave, Grandpa quickly stood up.After taking a few steps, he remembered Luke and me. He turned back with a smile and said, "Sweetie, Luke, we're heading back to rest. You two should leave early too.""Take care on your way back."I wanted to go with Grandpa and the professor, but we had to wait until the auction ended to complete the paperwork and obtain the painting.Luke was my boss; I couldn't leave him to handle the

Hearing this, I looked down and noticed that my fingers had intertwined without my noticing. I quickly released them, the sudden movement catching Luke's attention.As he looked over, I nervously avoided his gaze. "I... I need to use the restroom," I stammered, hastily standing up.Wendy followed me with a sigh.Meanwhile, Luke's eyes twinkled with amusement as he glanced at his watch.Wendy's expressive eyes held a hint of a smile. "Honey, can't we be more composed in front of Luke?""I wish I could, but I lack the necessary skills. I need more practice."Luke's eyes seemed to penetrate one's soul. Whenever he looked at me, I felt exposed, as if he could see right through me.Afraid that he would see through me, the more I tried to hide, the more flustered I became, revealing everything."Well, it's not all bad. It would be worse if you felt nothing when you saw him.""If I could face him with a calm heart, I would be a master!"The thought of honing myself to that level, be

She pointed at her own face, saying, "You can hit me back. Right here! Come on!"Stephen was already angry, and Joey's words were like pouring oil on fire.He stared at her defiant eyes, clenching his jaw so hard it seemed his rage might erupt like a volcano any second.Years of legal practice had tempered Stephen. He quickly composed himself, saying, "I'll take you home.""I don't want your help!" Joey tried to shake off Stephen's hand. "I know your kindness is out of guilt. I've had enough of you controlling my life under the guise of helping me. I don't want this to continue. Stay out of my life from now on!"Joey's mention of atonement reminded me of what she had said to Luke in the meeting room this morning.Was that unchangeable incident related to Stephen?"The old Joey was more understanding," Stephen said."Being understanding only led to years of nightmares. Seeing you reminds me of what you did. It's torture for me. You wanted to atone; I gave you that chance. Please
