After arriving back in Empfield, Laura and Shannon went straight to the convenience store.They had resigned, but they still had personal belongings at the convenience store, so they would need to take the personal belongings with them.Chris what they were doing when he walked out of the Jacobs Group."What's going on?" Chris frowned.Harry was leaning against the car door. When he saw Chris, he walked over. "Chris."He then told Chris what happened in Brosland.After Chris found out what happened, his face darkened."Chris, we can't just sit back and do nothing."'Looks like Nicole doesn't know the power of the Jacobs family,' thought Chris."I know," said Chris.When Laura and Shannon finished packing their belongings, they walked out of the convenience store.After all, they had been working there for quite a long time, so they were a little unwilling to leave.Laura took one last look at the store before locking the door.Chris walked over, took the things from Laura
"If you are considering this option then I can help you get the lowest rent possible. It'll probably be lower than the market price. However, because the store that you used to work at is still open, there's going to be quite a lot of competition if you plan to open the store next to the Jacobs Group as well." Chris analyzed the situation for Laura. "It'll depend on your marketing skills when the store is opened."Laura knew what Chris was talking about. She bit her lip and said, "Okay. I want to give it a go."She knew by doing so, she owed Chris even more."What's wrong?" asked Chris as he felt the change in Laura's mood.Laura shook her head. "Nothing. It's just that I owe you quite a lot."If it weren't for the fact that Chris was working at the Jacobs Group, how would she be able to rent a store at a price lower than the market price at such a good location?"What are you thinking about?" Chris reached out and rubbed Laura's head. "We're husband and wife. We're married. You
After an agreement was reached, Laura began the renovations and ordering the first batch of goods.Her alone would definitely not be enough for the grand opening.Therefore, Laura decided to tell Shannon about her plan to open her own store. She also asked Shannon if she was willing to come and work for her. She would also give Shannon a wage higher than that of her previous job. There would also be an annual bonus at the end of the year as well.Shannon immediately agreed after hearing Laura's words. "Sure!"Shannon had been thinking about the fact that she wouldn't be able to work with Laura anymore, so they might not see each other as much. She didn't expect the two of them to be able to work together again so soon.They were also doing the same jobs as well.The only difference was that Laura was the boss, but Shannon was quite happy with that.The preparations took about a week. The goods had arrived at the store and the renovation was complete.On the day of the grand ope
However, the person in front of Mike seemed to be dissatisfied with Laura. This caused Mike to sneer.He placed the things he was about to buy to where he got them. "I don't want these anymore."He then turned and left the store.Mike's actions caused the smile on the new store manager's face to freeze.After leaving the convenience store, Mike took out his phone and opened WhatsApp. He found Laura in his contacts and sent her a message. "Laura, I came to your convenience store today, but didn't see you."Mike placed his phone back into his pocket after sending the message.He stood where he was and looked around. That was when he realized that there was a new convenience store on the other side of the Jacobs Group.Mike walked inside.Laura was just about to reply to Mike's message when she saw it.That was when she heard that a customer had entered the store. She put down her phone and raised her head. "Welcome."When the two of them looked at each other, they were both tak
When Laura saw Mike's message, Shannon just happened to see it as well.Shannon widened her eyes in shock and said, "Laura, what does she mean? Why is she treating you to a meal? Is she trying to provoke you?"Shannon didn't have a good impression of Mike.She felt that Mike was a homewrecker and was now trying to show off in front of Laura. Such a thought made Shannon feel that Mike was shameless.Shannon didn't know what was going on between Laura and Chris, but Mike alone made Shannon dislike him every time she saw him.Laura typed a reply. "I'm sorry. My store has just opened, so I don't have much time."Mike had expected that Laura would turn him down.However, when he thought of the phone call he just received, his heart sank.He knew that his father wasn't joking. Ethan said that he would be arriving in Empfield in three days' time, and then he would definitely be there.During lunch, Laura told Shannon to get some rest in the lounge and that she would stay at the count
Shannon was already getting goosebumps.When Harry walked into the store, he saw Shannon rubbing her arms."What happened?" he asked."Nothing. What brought you here?" Shannon shook her head.Harry passed the milk powder that he had just bought to Shannon. "I guess you must have finished the milk powder I bought you last time, right? I've bought some more."He then subconsciously looked at Shannon's belly.'Shannon's way too skinny. A couple of months had passed, but her belly's not bulging at all,' thought Harry. 'If this carries on, she might suffer from malnutrition.'Harry pursed his lips and decided to go and ask a nutritionist later on about how to give Shannon enough nutrients."Thank you, but I don't really drink milk." Looking at the things in Harry's hand, the corners of Shannon's mouth twitched.'This guy's so weird. Why does he like to buy me milk powder?' she wondered."You might suffer from malnutrition if you don't drink these." Harry showed concern for Shannon
Harry was a little afraid of sending the message.He gritted his and suddenly wanted to punch himself.Since when did he become such a coward?In the past, Harry had never been a coward and had never thought he would be one.A while later, Harry finally pressed the send button, locked his phone, and then threw it onto the passenger seat.Shannon was in a daze when the phone in her pocket vibrated. This brought her back to her senses.When she looked at her phone, she realized that it was a message from Harry."I've heard you say that you're in love with a man just now. Is it me?"Shannon was a little taken aback. 'Since when did I say I'm in love with a man?'She then thought about it and realized that she did say such words when talking to M. She didn't expect Harry to hear her.Shannon's gaze then landed on the second half of the sentence. 'Is it me?'Suddenly, she began to blush. An unknown feeling began to arise in her heart.It was a mixture of sweetness, joy, and nerv
Harry had been racing for almost two hours. After he got out of the car, he didn't check his phone either. Instead, he went and ate with his friends.Almost five hours had passed by the time he got his phone.When he lowered his head and looked at his phone, he was dumbfounded by the message displayed on the screen.Harry was dumbfounded for two whole minutes and then he was overjoyed.He wanted to give Shannon a reply, but when he tried to type, he found out that his hands were trembling. This caused him to always type the wrong words.In the end, Harry became desperate. He placed the phone back in his pocket, ran towards he came, and began driving towards the convenience store.When Harry arrived, Laura was already getting ready to lock the doors.Harry got out of the car and quickly walked towards Laura. "Laura, where's Shannon?"Laura stopped what she was doing and raised her head to look at Harry with a meaningful gaze. "What's wrong?"Harry quickly explained, "I... I was
