On Monday morning, Hailey stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking very fresh. Despite her apparent healing, the dark circles under her eyes cast a shadow on her renewed state. She covered the dark circles with concealer, taking more time just to do her makeup today.

She blamed Travis for all of this.

Yesterday, she had calmed herself down by drawing, so she read a book and played some games on her phone before going to bed. She thought it was the perfect way to end the day, but a call from Travis ruined everything.

Last night, Travis told her he would allow her to take a sick leave from work if she was still ill.

Hailey didn’t know what her problem or Travis’s was, but she felt like he was much more considerate than before.

Not only did he check her temperature, bring her water, and organize meals for her, but he even called his private doctor just to diagnose her. He ordered Katie to watch over her and take excellent care of her, even if it was just a simple cold. He even c

    Hailey was stunned to see Dalila fall. She couldn’t even catch her in time. Instinctively, she wanted to call for help but changed her mind as she was about to do so. Since it was office hours, she thought it would be unnecessary for everyone to come to help.She called William while gently laying Dalila on her back, checking her pulse. As the call progressed, she immediately said, “Mrs. Morris has fainted in the pantry. Please come with Mrs. Sears.”She then noticed how red Dalila’s arm had become because of the burn. Examining her surroundings, Hailey used a paper cup to fetch some cold water to help rinse it.In a few moments, William hurried to arrive with some office secretaries.“What happened?” everyone asked concerned.Hailey continued rinsing Delilah’s arm. She had just fainted in front of me. We need to send her to the hospital now."“What are you applying to her arm?” Helena asked.“Cold water,” Hailey replied. “The hot water in her cup burned her.”“Can we really move her

    "Oh, of course, Mrs. Devin. Does Mrs. Morris know you came to our office?" Helena asked.Helena replied, "She doesn't, and don't you dare bother her. She needs all the rest she can get.""I understand."Her smile faded as she addressed the crowd. "Back to work, there's nothing to see here. The police will investigate this once they arrive. We need to work harder, especially since Mr. Blake and the directors are not here. Everyone back to your seats."She then glanced at the people recording on their phones. They were adults, so she didn't have to remind them to act responsibly.Indeed, it was office hours, so the crowd dispersed after Helena gave those orders."Mrs. Sears, you're not trying to cover up for this woman, Hailey Stewart, are you?" Helena asked. "Are you concerned that you might also get into trouble for this?" Helena smiled. "Mrs. Devin, both Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Stewart are employees of our department. I will never cover up for anyone, so trust me when I say I am on neu

    I never said that. I told the police that I saw you pouring water on Miss Morris’s arm.And I’m not the only one who saw it! Everyone else did too! Mrs. Sears also inquired about the matter, didn’t she? Lydia tried to defend herself.Hailey smiled. “So you’re saying that the reason Mrs. Devin thought I deliberately burned her daughter’s arm was because of what you told the police?”“I don’t know how she came to that conclusion,” Lydia retorted. She asked me if I was sure if you poured cold water on Miss Morris’s hand or not. Her question surprised me. I informed her I was located quite far away and could not provide a definitive answer. That’s it!"“She’s a very honest person, Mrs. Andrews.” The sarcasm in Hailey’s words was clear.“If you want to mock me, go ahead!” Lydia insisted.“I know everything that happened today was embarrassing for you, but I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. I didn’t mean to blame you! I’m really sorry for everything.”“Mrs. Andrews, I know you’re

    Hailey reflected for a while before finally saying, “I have no complaints.”Keeping a job for Lydia was already the greatest kindness Hailey could do, and transferring Lydia to a subsidiary company was probably Travis’s biggest compromise.“Alright,” Travis looked at Hailey. “Order before heading out again, then call Helena for me. Also, pack your things. We’re going to the Morris residence.”“Why are we going there?” Hailey was surprised.Travis stated clearly, “You should visit Mrs. Morris and clarify any issues related to your mother coming to the office and causing trouble.”Hailey opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. Travis had just made a significant sacrifice for her. In addition, Travis was prepared to visit the Morris residence to assess the progress of their relationship. More importantly, Hailey was eager to see how Travis would treat Delilah, who had attended the matchmaking banquet and confessed there. Thinking about it, Hailey felt a little excited.Delilah diff

    “The day Mrs. Morris fainted, I was busy and didn’t go to the hospital to visit her. Today I returned from a business trip and found out she had been discharged from the hospital, so I came to visit her,” Travis said.He looked at Hailey and continued, “As for Mrs. Stewart, I heard she was the first to discover that Mrs. Morris had fainted. Since she was the one who called someone to send Mrs. Morris to the hospital, I brought her here.”Helena had a negative feeling about this and furrowed her brow. “Mr. Blake, are you unaware of what transpired?” Let me tell you the truth. Yesterday, I went to your company to cause a scene. Why? I learned that someone purposefully splashed boiling water onto my beloved Lilah’s arm! I was so confused. I’m sure my dear Lilah always treats others well, so how could someone do such a thing to her? Who would pour boiling water on her arm and make her faint? Am I right, Mrs. Stewart?”Hailey immediately recognized the deception in Helena’s words. She smil

    Mary sat up instantly straighter than everyone else in the room. She had to listen carefully to find out what Hailey had done.Hailey took a deep breath and explained how Delilah had fainted, and what Michelle had told her. She then explained how Delilah’s mother, Helena, came to the company to cause trouble, and how Travis took her to Morris’ residence. She explained everything and included every little detail, but did not mention that Travis had said he would never date his employees.“Did you perform a good deed and instead receive blame?” Lilian asked.Hailey nodded. She thought to herself, “Why is Grandma’s focus different from what I wanted her to focus on? Does Grandma believe I want her to pursue justice for me? What family do Helena and Delilah belong to?” Lilian asked again.“They are from the family of the legendary artist Aidan Morris,” Thalia said. “Delilah Morris is Travis’ secretary.”“Oh!” Lilian sighed.“Helena is too unreasonable. She approached the company and creat

    Thalia couldn’t help but sighed.She discovered Hailey was truly living a pitiful life in this house. If Thalia were in Hailey’s place, she wouldn’t be able to bear that treatment.However, this did not mean that Hailey always tolerated her anger. There was a time when she argued against Rowena, or retaliated against Mary’s biting words with little permission. Most of the time, Hailey refrained from speaking, particularly when she was around Thalia’s son.Thalia stepped forward, with Travis and Hailey following her.Hailey was anxious, and Travis himself couldn’t understand why his mother wanted Hailey and him to join.He wasn’t worried about revealing his relationship with Hailey to his mother. If someone like his third aunt Mary found out about their relationship, she might try to make a scandal out of it. His mother was just trying to help them hide it. However, Travis wouldn’t ask her to do so.Soon, Thalia led them to her own small courtyard.Hailey’s first visit to Thalia’s cour

    “The grandmother has already decided for Violet to leave the company.”That was all Hailey said in her report to Travis.Travis, who was currently attending a dinner, couldn’t help but laugh at the brief statement. He thought Hailey would at least give him a full report on what exactly Lilian had said, but she didn’t.She was a woman of few words, wasn’t she?“And the others?” Travis asked when she offered nothing else.Actually, receiving a call from his mother before Hailey came to him, he didn’t need her report to know what his grandmother had said. Thalia had told him everything.But Travis wanted to hear what Hailey had to say. He felt a little regretful about having to attend this dinner tonight.“You can ask your mother about the others,” Hailey replied.Travis inwardly sighed. She was really keeping him in suspense!“Mr. Blake,” a warm voice interrupted Travis’ thoughts.Looking up, he saw a young woman who seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t remember who she was. He nodd

    On this day, Hailey’s journey to the ancient chapel of the Blake matriarch was turbulent. First, she received a call from Rowena while on her way there.“What’s up with that video of Violet? Is it real or fake?” Rowena asked.Hailey was surprised. “You saw that video too?”“That video is all over her company right now. Why is it strange for me to see it too?” Rowena replied.“That video is real. Special effects were edited in, but the content is completely real,” Hailey responded.“You speak as if you were a personal witness to the incident.” Just as Rowena said that she halted. “It can’t be that you were the one who recorded the video, right?”Hailey covered up the truth, saying, “It had nothing to do with me. Someone else recorded it, but the content is true.”“Fine. Do you know what to say if your grandmother asks you about this?” Rowena asked.Mary Hewitt had played a good game, even shamelessly sending her niece to Travis. She had always exalted herself, and now she was going to

    Hailey was stunned. What did he mean when he said he was disgusted with Violet that afternoon?“What’s wrong with him?” Hailey asked.Initially, she wanted to push Travis away. But when she heard his words, her resistant hands lightly settled on his waist.“During my lunch meeting, she hurried in, looking dirty, and asked for permission to go home and change clothes. It was really disgusting,” Travis said.Hailey knew Travis didn’t like Violet, but she didn’t expect him to feel disgusted by her as well. His obsession with cleanliness, which he was unwilling to admit, left her speechless.After giving it some thought, she couldn’t resist asking, “So, are you full now?”Travis was about to say he was fine, even if he wasn’t full, when a thought crossed his mind. He quickly changed his words.“No,” he said calmly.“So, would you like me to place an order for delivery?” Hailey inquired after a brief pause. Hailey inquired after a brief pause.“Forget it.” Travis hugged her without moving.

    The middle-aged woman looked at Hailey, and she knew she was a secretary in the secretarial department. After a brief pause, she said, “That was the new secretary, right? When he passed by me, his leg twisted. He stumbled into me, causing my bucket to tip over. The dirty water from the bucket splashed on his body and dirtied his clothes.”Seeing that she was talking to someone from the secretarial department who could report to the boss on her behalf, the middle-aged woman recounted the dispute she had just had with Violet. She told the story vividly.Wiping away tears, she added sadly, “I can’t afford to compensate her with such expensive clothes, so she threatened to kill me. I’m uncertain about her intentions, but if Mr. Blake inquires about this incident, you were also present. Say something positive on my behalf.”Hailey was speechless. This cleaner had quite a talent for acting. Hailey thought Violet’s leg might have twisted because of the pain from her shoes. She might have acc

    “I didn’t go for Mr. Blake’s sake. To fulfill my family’s task, I felt compelled to take part in the matchmaking party.”If Michelle had never said those words to Hailey, then even if the latter had found out that the former was interested in Travis, she wouldn’t have held a grudge. However, it was precisely because of those words that Hailey felt deceived. No one would feel comfortable with this kind of feeling, especially Hailey, who had fallen in love with Travis.Michelle was well aware of this. Although Michelle was unaware that Hailey also harbored feelings for Travis, that Michelle had deceived Hailey and planned to exploit her left a negative impression on this junior member of the Blake family.Even though Hailey didn’t hold a significant position in the family, she was still considered a young lady. Being part of the Blake family, she could meet the elders at any time. If she were to utter disparaging remarks about Michelle in their presence, she might face consequences.Mic

    Helena listened to Travis’s words with fear. She had never mentioned Luna in front of Hailey, so the latter must have heard about her from others.“Mr. Blake, Mrs. Stewart asked me before if any participant required special care, but I didn’t tell her,” Helena said anxiously.“I didn’t ask you who revealed the news to her,” Travis replied.Mrs. Lilian learned about this matter from the moment she appointed Hailey as her secretary. Travis had no intention of assigning blame to anyone.And he continued, “I just wanted to tell you that in the future, if Hailey wants to know something about the competition, you can tell her everything. Luna is my friend, so I will take care of her specially. However, I want to avoid any rumors that suggest Luna and I are more than just friends.”Helena’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone had told Hailey something they shouldn’t have? And did Travis also hear it? However, given his reluctance to probe into the source of the information, it’s l

    “I am a person who is... practical and realistic. Hailey laughed and said, “If someone is ugly, then they are ugly, and vice versa.”Travis replied, “The range of people you think are charming is too broad.” He pointed with a finger at the hero’s face, where the video had stopped. “This guy is ugly. It’s a waste of time and life to look at them.”Hailey looked at Travis resentfully. Then, her gaze drifted to the ambiguous hero on the tablet. Suddenly, she felt that the TV drama she was currently watching was boring.The living Travis stood in front of her. He could defeat all the heroes with his looks and behavior. Indeed, his romance and sweetness paled compared to those of the drama heroes.At first, she didn’t find it difficult to eat or sleep without watching TV dramas. Sometimes, she found herself at a loss for what to do when she was with Travis. As a result, she would either play, read a book, or watch a TV drama as entertainment, just as she was doing now.She closed the video

    If it were any other matter, Hailey would certainly accept it happily. She could learn many things from a project as it developed from scratch. Regrettably, the project required cooperation with Christian. She couldn’t meet Christian too often.“Let’s forget about it.” She pretended to consider it briefly before saying, “I don’t want to get involved with my friend at work.”Her response was in line with her attitude of always avoiding trouble. Therefore, Travis didn’t dwell on it too much.Hailey was reluctant, so he didn’t want to force her. Next time, he wouldn’t force Hailey to do something she didn’t want to. If Hailey didn’t want to supervise Christian’s new project, he would forget it.“By the way, Hailey. Do you know about Christian’s family background?” Matthew was curious and wanted to know if Hailey knew about Jodie.Hailey still had a blank look. “I don’t. I’ve never asked about that. I know his family established a company, and their family status is quite good. Regarding

    “Yes,” Matthew said. “What did you talk about?”When Hailey heard Matthew’s question, she immediately perked up. Her eyes were still on her phone, but her attention was now fully on the conversation between Travis and Matthew.Travis described the conversation he had with Christian that day. In the end, he said, “I plan to accept his proposal and cooperate with the Ford family. Do you have any opinions?”Travis still hadn’t mentioned Jodie, Christian’s sister, to Hailey. Currently, Hailey held a grudge against Matthew. If Hailey learned that a celebrity was interested in Matthew, she might resort to the same tactic Matthew had used against them the previous day to exact revenge. The situation might lead to significant issues.Travis didn’t mention that. Certainly, Matthew also didn’t mention Jodie. Christian...Matthew said, “I have no opinions.” It is not possible to discuss those two distinct incidents simultaneously. We should distinguish between business and personal matters.Trav
