James appeared solemn and respectful as he said, "Mr. Jefferson? They've signed it."A deep voice spoke from the other end, "Good. Stick to the plan and keep reaching out. Don't let them catch you before they inject their first batch of capital.""Of course," James replied before hanging up and telling the chauffeur, "Let's go."…Meanwhile, Isaac had just put away his phone and turned around when a soft body threw herself into his arms. Irene then wrapped her arms around his neck—she had tied her hair into a ponytail and was dressed formally, her bright eyes twinkling as she smiled faintly. "I'm going to the interview soon. Do you think I'll make it?"Isaac put his hands around her waist and made a pensive face, which left Irene frowning and pouting with her pink lips. "Don't you have faith in my skill?""You have skills?" Isaac asked in return.Irene was speechless for a moment, and stood on her toes to bite his lips, immediately leaving a row of bite marks.He smiled. "Att

The interviewer shot her a look. "No excuses. Now, leave." But Irene was not about to give up on such a rare opportunity!"Please give me a chance. I've prepared for this interview—""That's your business. You're late and missed your chance, so you only have yourself to blame. You won't be late if you care at all," the interviewer growled impatiently. "I would have to call security if you insist on staying."Irene stopped in his tracks then even as disappointment caught her. She sighed—she had a rare opportunity, and it went up in smoke.Stepping out of the hospital, she felt more or less dissatisfied—it would have been better if they had rejected her because she fell short of their standard, but she did not even get an interview…And how was she going to pursue her dream if she could not even get herself hired as a doctor?The thought left her despondent!As she made up her mind to leave, she heard someone speaking and turned to look.It was the old man she had just saved

Irene's response was fluent. "Cardiology. In fact, one of the cardiologists here at Melville Hospital is known to be a miracle worker, and has famously cured multiple patients with near-incurable heart conditions."The old man rested his chin on his hands and grinned. "Well, you've met the man. What do you think about him?" "I've met him?" Irene considered it for a moment, before exclaiming in disbelief, "Wait, do you mean Mr. Poker Face?!"She could not find a better description for the man—Stephen Carr was so aloof that he was basically devoid of humanity!"Yes. That was Stephen Carr, Head of Cardiology and our miracle worker."'That's my idol?' Irene thought to herself then."Anyway, which position are you applying for?" the old man asked."Cardiology. I'm willing to start as an intern," Irene said—she was not experienced enough to jump straight into residency, but she was willing to start from the bottom."Do you have prior experience?" the old man asked them. It seemed

Irene was speechless.How was this getting hired through the back door? Did she not impress the hospital chief with her own expertise and earn the chance herself?Nonetheless, Stephen left with those words, leaving her alone and sulking. She felt conflicted at the thought that he would be the one instructing her from now on, but she did not want to give up on her dreams either.Breathing a long sigh, she thought to herself that life was going to be hard from now on. Even so, she could take anything as long as she got to learn from him—once she could stand on her own, he would be a distant memory. Leaving the hospital and returning to the car, she told Jimmy the chauffeur, "Let's go to the grocery store."She was very pleased to have succeeded in the interview, and wanted to cook something. She also thought that it was great that she chose to be a doctor—she knew what to cook for Isaac to help with his recovery. "Of course," Jimmy replied. They were soon stopping near a tr

Lulu sat on her bed, silent for a long while. Irene waited quietly without urging her, until Lulu suddenly said, "Zachary and I had a fight."Irene was left stunned for seconds, before asking in disbelief, "You two fought? Why?""His mother promised that she'd agree to our relationship if Zachary returned to his family business and claimed leadership, right? He did, but his mother now insisted that I must give up on my career to be a full-time housewife if we are to get married. She said that I'm supposed to care for and support Zachary, but I don't want to give up on my job.""Well, what did Zachary say?" Irene asked.Lulu scowled at the mention of Zachary. "He said that he gave up his preferred career for my sake, and asked me why I can't sacrifice mine for him. But is our relationship only sustained by our sacrifices?" Lulu certainly knew that she should sacrifice a little for him after what he did, but said, "Look, Irene. I can make it up to him in any other way, but I woul

Lulu appeared helpless."Look, I didn't tell you before, but the fight we had was really bad. He's really angry, and he's definitely on his mother's side about having me resign. I feel like he really wants me to be his full-time wife… but this is the one choice that matters, isn't it? Either I give up my career to be with him, or keep my career and give up on him. Can't bake your cake and eat it."Irene did not know what to say. "Well, you have no family here and no place to stay, so you can stay here in my room."Lulu smiled. "Thank goodness I have you.""The feeling's mutual." Irene smiled back. "I won't know what to do with myself in Sunny City otherwise… How about a little drink? It'll help you sleep.""No thanks." Lulu shook her head—alcohol would only ease their frustration for a moment, but would not resolve the issue."Go home, Irene—you have a family now, so you shouldn't stay out the entire night. I need time alone to think about what I should do anyway.""Okay," Irene

Irene was startled by his sudden move, and she shoved at his foot in the next instant. "What are you doing?! Get off me—I'd get the ointment all over you."Isaac reached out and took the swab out of her hands, throwing it on the table before pinning her down under himself.Irene turned, not to struggle but to find a comfortable position.Clang!A loud noise suddenly echoed from the living room."What was that?!" Irene tensed up immediately, while Isaac frowned—seemingly unhappy with the sudden noise.Irene was still looking at him. "Is there someone in the living room?"Isaac breathed a feeble sigh just then."Is that Zachary?"It was a question, but she basically knew the answer. "He's drunk," Isaac explained.He could not leave him outside by himself, so he brought him home.That was when they heard a grating voice as if a table was pushed along the floor, and then something dropped and shattered loudly, followed by a scream.Irene quickly tightened up her loose dress a

It was not going to be a typical day, as Light Group was prepared to invest their first batch of capital in Eastdawn!The initial investment was 80 million—an amount that Light Group could still afford at the moment.After the transfer, Ian Jefferson and James Cross shook hands. "Here's to a beautiful partnership. Let's take our respective companies to new heights—may your component be unveiled to the world soon."James chuckled. "For sure. Once it hits the market, you shall be the biggest winner!"Ian laughed heartily—certainly, with Eastdawn's development already in the final stage and the money-burning phases now almost over, investing in them now was basically getting a cut of the profits for free!There was no question he had won big here.James sighed in front of him just then. "Well, things are going to get awkward with my old friends now that we chose you."Ian smiled and patted him on the back. "I'll be your friend from now on.""Indeed." James was watching him with
