Previously, when shopping with Wendy, I had visited the Arc'teryx counter and experienced their service. I didn't disappoint their enthusiasm, quickly selecting two sets of clothes and shoes."Please wrap these up for me.""Miss, don't you want to try them on?"From entering the store to selecting the clothes and shoes, I had taken only a few minutes. My swift and decisive actions left the sales assistant at a loss. She glanced at Luke, who was sitting on a sofa, flipping through a magazine.Luke looked up. "The same size in sportswear should be a bit larger than your regular clothes. You might want to try them on.""Miss, your boyfriend is right. You need to try clothes on to know if they fit properly.""He's not my—""This white sports outfit looks nice," Luke said, standing up and pointing to an outfit on the display rack."Sir, you have a good eye. Your girlfriend has fair skin, and this simple, elegant sports outfit would suit her very well."I tried several times to expl
The morning exercise left me energetic all day, but when I went to bed, the after-effects of the workout began to show.I moved my slightly sore legs, thinking it would be better after sleep.In the quiet of the night, senses become sharper than during the day. Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I got up and went downstairs.When I picked up the dog from Luke's place, he gave me a massage gun, saying it could relieve leg soreness.I opened the massage gun's packaging and found the instructions."Ouch!" I tried it according to the manual, but the pain made me wince.I must be using it wrong; it hurt even more than before.I picked up the manual again, and a note fell out: "Keep at it, you'll have a different experience."The handwriting was sharp and powerful – Luke's handwriting.He really thinks of everything!After persisting for a while, the pain gradually eased. I found it amazing.After using the massage gun, I tried to relax my legs with my unprofessional technique.
Joey's secret...While making coffee, I speculated about what kind of secret Stephen was referring to.By the time I brought the coffee to Luke's office, Stephen had already left."Mr. York left?"They finished talking so quickly?"She's not my responsibility. I don't need to do things I don't want to do for her sake."In other words, Luke had refused Stephen's request.Joey's behavior was outrageous, and I had a very poor impression of her. I wouldn't say a word about Luke not visiting her in the hospital.I put the coffee on Luke's desk. "Stephen, who's invincible in court, has actually stumbled over Joey.""That invincibility is just a shell he wears. After countless battles, that shell isn't as hard as it once was."I didn't quite understand Luke's words and didn't ask further. I left the office.At lunch, I received a call from Stephen. He asked to meet me at the cafe downstairs.I knew why he wanted to see me and was reluctant. But he had helped me win a lawsuit befor
"She just wants to see Mr. Walker once.""And then what?" If she succeeds in seeing Luke this time, there will be a next time. "She's an adult and needs to take responsibility for her actions. We can't force Luke to do something he doesn't want to do because of her whims. Mr. York, you're close to Mr. Walker and know his family situation better than I do. If Ms. Parker can completely distance herself from Mr. Walker this time, it would be a safeguard for her future personal safety."Stephen remained silent."I'll keep Ms. Parker's mental illness a secret."After finishing my coffee, I told Stephen I was leaving."I'm glad you could say that."Not understanding his words, I paused and looked at Stephen.Stephen's lips twitched slightly. "You can go now. I'll sit here a bit longer."Before leaving Starbucks, I ordered a set meal for him....After that day, Joey was forcibly taken to surgery. When she woke up, she lay in bed, raging at Stephen and Annette.Stephen asked Annett
For Luke, this was a thorny issue. Visiting Joey would encourage her bad behavior, but not seeing her might push her towards Felfast.Jon's talent was unparalleled. If he joined Felfast, Hanque's future would look bleak.Luke remained silent for a long time, then said, "No one has asked for Jon's opinion.""Would Jon be able to express his own opinion?"Jon's situation was special. Except for AI, he couldn't communicate normally with others.Joey was Jon's guardian and could decide who he cooperated with."One should always have some hope."Luke's words were partly to comfort me. I wanted to ask if he had decided not to see Joey, but feared adding to his pressure."Whatever decision Mr. Walker makes, I'll firmly support you!""Does your statement have an expiration date?" Luke looked up, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipating."For now, no. As for the future, I can't be certain yet."At least during my time as his assistant, these words would remain valid!"I'll wor
Ever since I started training with Luke, my sleep quality at night had improved considerably. I was sleeping soundly when the phone woke me up. Still groggy, I asked, "Who did you say again?""Joey! Joey snuck out of the hospital!""Didn't she just have surgery? Doesn't she need someone to look after her?"Joey's car accident injuries were severe, requiring multiple surgeries. For her health, she couldn't leave the hospital for a while.This woman was causing trouble again!"Mr. York went back to the law firm to handle some work. Joey sent the caregiver away and left the hospital using a wheelchair.""Didn't the duty nurse stop her?""There was an emergency with a patient in the next room, so the nurse went to help. By the time the caregiver returned with Joey's late-night snack, she had already left the hospital. Mr. York has reported it to the police, and everyone's searching for her.""I'll go look too."Health is the foundation of everything. No matter how urgent the matte
Joey's recent mood swings made Stephen cautious about approaching her. He called out softly, "Joey."Joey seemed not to hear, showing no reaction.Stephen tried to soften his voice further, "Joey, shall we go back to the hospital?""I'm sorry for worrying you all," Joey said, her voice hoarse and weak, apologizing voluntarily.Her calmness made Stephen even more concerned. "Joey, if you're upset, you can let it out.""I'm fine, just homesick. I wanted to stay at home for a while." Joey turned with a smile, her tone apologetic. "Sorry everyone, for making you come out so late."Joey reached out to move her wheelchair, and Stephen quickly stepped forward to help."Thank you," Joey said.Her ordinary words of thanks made Stephen look at her twice.Penelope tugged at my sleeve.I scrutinized Joey.Joey's eyes were lowered; I couldn't see the emotion in them."I'll go back to the hospital with Stephen now. You all should go rest. When I'm discharged, I'll treat everyone to a mea
He only studied it for a short while before losing interest and returning to his AI work.In just half a month, he had already produced two complete design concepts and drafts.Seeing his work through video, Professor Killiney praised him repeatedly."You just got lucky. Looking at Jon's work, it's clear he's in a league of his own," Grandpa Shaw said, jabbing at Professor Killiney after seeing the admiration in his eyes and realizing Jon was a genius."To be able to meet Jon and see such excellent work in my lifetime, heaven has been kind to me," Professor Killiney replied.Grandpa Shaw didn't argue but huffed, "Give me back the painting and inkstone I gave you!""Wait while I go get them for you!""You're really returning them?"Grandpa Shaw was just joking with Professor Killiney. In the past, the professor wouldn't have bothered to respond.Grandpa Shaw was shocked and disbelieving when he saw Professor Killiney pick up the inkstone from the cabinet and the painting."So
