Kevin said, "Have you thought it through? Once you're involved, you won't be able to get out of it so easily. I won't be able to protect you if you're in danger."Blake grabbed his hand. "You do know I've never been afraid of trouble. Besides, I've always been very lucky; no one will hurt me."Kevin's gaze was intense as if he could see through Blake. She, with a determined look, met his gaze. Finally, Kevin said, "Then help me keep an eye on that position, don't let Cecilia's influence rise too high.""What do you mean? Are you asking me to take your position? But I'm not working at Jardin Corporation now, I can't do that!" Blake said.Kevin replied, "There are things that I can't say too much about. When the time comes, you'll know what you should do."Blake smiled brightly, pressed his shoulder, and kissed him. "I knew that you couldn't bear to let me go. I've never seen someone as stubborn as you. Do you want to try..."Kevin looked into her bright eyes as he asked in a low v
A bulky, chubby-looking guy among the group of people licked his lips and said with a smile, "Ms. Samford, you didn't need to come here personally over such a trivial matter. Rest assured, if he wakes up, I promise to skin this guy alive for you."Cecilia responded, "You guys are so loosely organized just because Zach is no longer keeping you in check now?""Ms. Samford, you do know that our boss has already stopped doing anything illegal. Now, we can only earn a little money to make ends meet. We didn't expect this jerk to be so bold as to mess with that situation. Now our base has been swept. Ms. Samford, what should we do?"To be honest, the jobs that our boss had us do were indeed quite nice, we didn't need to spend much time and effort, but the earnings were too little. Is there any solution?"Cecilia waved her hand, and the caregiver who helped push Cecilia's wheelchair quietly walked out of the ward.The door to the ward was finally closed.Blake returned to Liam's room. S
On the way back, Liam suddenly asked, "How are things going with him?"Blake, gripping the steering wheel, was momentarily stunned before replying, "We're okay. He went to the hospital last night, and we happened to run into each other. He told me that Cecilia wanted to find someone to take the CEO's assistant position. But..." Blake did not continue because Zach's fate was still up in the air. Blake overheard nurses chatting when she was in the hospital, saying that Zach was still unconscious. This matter had to be kept confidential. Even though she did not want to tell, Liam guessed what was going on.He opened his eyes to look at Blake. "Do you want to go back and compete for that position?"Blake did not dare to meet his eyes, afraid that seeing them would make her change her mind. She thought, 'I've just transferred to StartReading Literary not long ago. This company was founded by Mr. Jardin for Madelyn. Currently, most of the scripts and novels for show adaptations being disc
Blake smiled as she said, "I've been busy with work lately, but I promise I'll make sure to come back in the future and have dinner with you two."Grace smiled as she put some vegetables into Blake's bowl. "That's good to hear. No matter how busy you are with work, you must take good care of yourself. Come back to live here. Both your room and Mya's room have been unoccupied for a long time, but I have the maid clean them every day."Blake responded, "Thank you. You treat me so well."It was only when Blake was with them that she could finally experience the long-lost feeling of home again.After dinner, Blake took a shower in the bathroom. She sent a text to Kevin to tell him about her work and what she had done today, including what she had for lunch and afternoon tea.However, she received no response from him at all.Being able to quarrel with Kevin felt like a luxury to Blake now.She sat on the swing on the balcony, hugging her knees and staring into the pitch-dark night s
Blake said honestly, "No, the person I just talked to on the phone is my superior. I've been transferred to StartReading as the editor-in-chief's assistant. My salary remains the same as before. My boyfriend used to be the CEO's assistant, but something happened, and he's not working at the company anymore."Grace replied, "The CEO's assistant? That should come with a decent salary!"Blake responded, "I never asked, but he's an orphan and doesn't have many people around him. I try to spend time with him occasionally, but he's pretty busy."Grace pondered before nodding. She held Blake's hand and patted it. "When you two have some free time, bring him home. Let me see if he's someone worth spending your life with." Grace suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what about the guy your mother introduced to you last time? Are you not satisfied with him?"Upon hearing this, Blake did not know where to start, so she told Grace roughly everything that had happened recently.
Perhaps due to being too exhausted, Blake slept soundly until the next morning. Upon waking up to the alarm, she heard it beep just once before her phone automatically shut down.She was not in a hurry. The Harper residence was not far away from her office. She got up to freshen up and left her phone charging on the bedside table.By the time her phone automatically switched on, Blake had already finished freshening up. She then went down for breakfast in her pajamas. She planned to only change her clothes after breakfast.When the maid carried some medicine and went upstairs, Blake asked, "What is this?"The maid answered, "This is the herbal medicine for Mr. Harper. He needs to rest in bed, so he isn't accompanying you for breakfast."Blake nodded, "Is he feeling better now?""Yes, he can eat now.""That's good."Grace walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of cinnamon rolls. "Blake, you're awake. Come down and have breakfast."Blake had not expected such a hearty breakfa
Blake said, "Today? Wasn't it this weekend? I haven't prepared at all yet. Won't it be inappropriate if I go meet your family dressed like this?"Liam slowed down the car and stopped at the traffic light. He then held Blake's tightly clenched hands as he gently comforted her, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter what you wear. What matters is you'll be there. Just treat it like a casual family dinner, no pressure."Blake looked at her hands being held and calmly pulled them away. She looked out of the car window with a smile on her face. "Okay, as long as you don't mind me embarrassing myself.""Okay."When they arrived at the company, they entered the office together.It seemed like a common sight for those in the company to see them always together.However, there was much gossip about Blake, especially considering her previous admission of being with Kevin. Now that she had transferred to StartReading Literary, she was always seen being together with Liam. In a secret group chat, B
Blake did not respond. 'The CEO's assistant? Me and Susan?'Blake had been with the company for less than a year, she believed if she were to compete for that position with Susan, logically, she would lose.There were many qualified and experienced secretaries in the secretarial department. Blake did not understand why Cecilia insisted on asking her to go over.Blake continued thinking, 'Susan has been with the company for a long time. With her connections over the years in this company, the people in the secretarial department will definitely support her.'This matter surely isn't that simple. Cecilia has some hidden agenda. Susan has probably already been working for Cecilia for a long time. Her behavior at the company was so suspicious back then; she clearly had some malicious intentions.'When Blake entered Cecilia's office, Susan had already been waiting inside. Blake was the last one to arrive.Blake asked, "Ms. Samford, are you looking for me?"Cecilia, sitting on the sof
