Taking Turns in Love Chapter 15
Honestly speaking, Dean was a very capable man. Someone like him shouldn't be worrying about the chances of securing a new job. However, thanks to David's efforts of twisting and spreading the whole "Dean plotted against Kelvin just to get revenge on him" incident, many bosses in Gold's Street grew wary of Dean.Truthfully, the industry bosses were involved in something shady. Of course, they were worried that they might end up hiring a ticking time bomb who might jeopardize their careers.In a way, Dean's inability to find a job so soon allowed him to slow down and enjoy life for once. Coincidentally, Corbyn's schedule was pretty empty as well, seeing as he had just joined the Education Requisition Department. He got to get to work and off work on time every day.Because of that, Dean and Corbyn were able to have breakfast and dinner regularly during those days, which was a pretty rare moment.To think that a couple, who had been living together for many years, could count the n

Then again, both David and Sylvia were professionals at controlling their emotions. Instead, they just smiled."Oh? Isn't that Dean and that meek boyfriend of his? What a coincidence!"Corbyn replied coldly, "Yeah, it is a coincidence. Had we known that you'd be here, we wouldn't have come here in the first place."In the past, Corbyn had pretended to be Dean's "meek boyfriend" just to preserve David and Sylvia's pride. Now, there was no need for him to do so. Since he was no longer putting up a facade in front of Dean, why should he do the same in front of David and Sylvia?When Sylvia heard Corbyn's tone, she felt rather amused. All she did was shake her head.Meanwhile, David just chuckled. "You two sure have a lot of free time on your hands, huh? Dean, how's the job hunt going?"How was the job hunt going? What an awfully nice way to kick Dean where it hurt the most!After all, David was confident that Dean could never find a job on Gold's Street.David's sly smirk disgus

Huh?Corbyn's speech came all of a sudden that David, Sylvia, and the others were left befuddled. They were so stunned that they couldn't react at all.By then, Corbyn had already dragged Dean far, far away from them. All David and the others could see were the silhouettes of two good-looking men heading into the distance.Everyone fell silent at the table for a while. Finally, a colleague who had majored in researching the educational aspect spoke up, "Speaking of which, I think I remember something now. Bloomberg Group is a family company. The chairman's last name is Bloomberg…""It has to be a coincidence, right?" Sylvia murmured. She seemed to have remembered something as well. "Right, Corbyn did mention that he taught Yinglish before."Everyone's expressions faltered slightly. After all, they all thought Corbyn was just a weak pushover who relied on Dean to survive. Who would've thought that Corbyn was actually a rich brat who wanted to have a taste of a commoner's lifestyle?

When Dean got into the details, Corbyn snapped out of his trance immediately. He widened his eyes as he asked, "Did M-Global get in contact with you? Are you planning to move there?"Dean replied, "Yeah. The representative got in contact with me, but we have yet to sort out all the details."Corbyn's mind went blank. He could feel his fingertips starting to go cold. "Oh. So you've already decided to go to Merunica, but you never thought of telling me anything?"Dean said, "The plan isn't fully thought out yet.""But you've nailed down at least 80% of the plan, right?" Corbyn sounded very icy. "How long have you been communicating with M-Global?""More than two months," Dean answered.Corbyn's heart missed a beat at the answer. "More than two months? So this happened before you resigned from your previous company?""Yeah," Dean responded.David's guess was correct. Dean wasn't the type who'd turn in his resignation letter impulsively. It appeared that M-Global had gotten in touc

"Good," Dean said.Corbyn felt as though he was about to get an aneurysm.The next day, Corbyn was extremely distracted at work. He ended up overlooking a few numbers on the sheet. Martin Jagger, the manager of the Educational Requisition Department, had to point out the mistakes for him.Martin was a veteran employee in the company. Not to mention, he was also a relative of the Bloombergs. That was why he had the guts to put on airs in front of Corbyn.Hence, Martin decided to speak with Corbyn as an experienced senior employee of the department. "Youngsters like you shouldn't rush through work. You have to put your heart into it, you hear? Only when you put your heart into educational work will it be a success."Corbyn had always been a hothead. Still, he knew when to yield and admit his mistakes. It was true that he screwed up at work, which was why he didn't sass Martin at all.Instead, he nodded at Martin before saying, "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Jagger. If not, I'd end up

Somehow, Dean's reputation in Gold's Street underwent a strange transformation these few days.At first, David's blacklisting plan proceeded quite smoothly. Who would've thought that someone from the headquarters would call the regional branch just to chastise David all of a sudden?"Why did you approve Dean Hoffman's resignation?"David was shocked. "W-What do you mean by that?"The representative from the headquarters proceeded to lecture David for a long time. Soon, cold sweat began sliding down his face.Dean had published an academic essay about his quantitative model in a particularly famous magazine, which attracted the attention of many investing firms.Dean's model was equipped with an advanced version of self-learning capabilities. Its stability was quite high, and it was capable of performing abstract simulations. As such, this model was able to react faster than any other existing models on the market. Hence, it had a bright future in the investment industry.David

Hadn't Dean surpassed David now?Well, no, he hadn't surpassed David.He had surpassed David's boss' boss.In other words, Dean's job-hopping had landed him somewhere David couldn't reach even with a trampoline.However, David was very experienced, so he was able to regroup his thoughts quickly. He knew he wouldn't be able to make it up to Dean anymore, so his immediate priority now was figuring out how to explain things to the Bloomberg Group headquarters.The headquarters was demanding an explanation.David may not be very skilled, but he still had a significant influence when it came to office politics. He immediately used the ultimate Manager Trump Card—Scapegoating an Unlucky Subordinate. Without a second thought, he shifted the blame to Sylvia, claiming that she had tried to steal Dean's client. Not only that, he also stated that she had made up rumors to slander Dean, causing the latter to storm out.Just like that, Sylvia was kicked from her hard-earned position as inv

Dean's tableware was still in the cabinet, and his clothes were still in the closet… He hadn't taken much with him to Merunica besides a few sets of clothes and his laptop. In fact, he didn't even bring his half of their matching mugs with him.He had used that brown mug for many years. It was the first gift Corbyn had ever given him.Corbyn had made that mug by hand at a handicraft studio. Its shape wasn't perfect; if anything, it looked pretty rough. When he gave it to Dean, he was even a little worried that he wouldn't be able to bring himself to take it out. To his surprise, Dean had graciously accepted his gift and even ended up using it for years.Corbyn never imagined that Dean wouldn't take it with him. Not only had Dean not brought Corbyn's gift with him, he hadn't brought Corbyn along either.He and the cup had been left behind, all alone.Because they were oceans apart, time zones became an issue. If Corbyn wanted to talk to Dean on the phone or via video call, he had
