However the receptionist's worries were completely unfounded as Yvette didn't hold a grudge against her.Upon arriving at the CEO's office on the upper floor, Cassidy immediately understood that Yvette was there to sign a contract. Without hesitation, she signed the documents and even asked Yvette how she knew Jacqueline, leading to an enjoyable conversation between them.Before leaving, Yvette gifted Cassidy the bracelet she had brought along."Yvette, you're too kind! If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Jacqueline and I are best friends. Now, you're my friend too," Cassidy announced as she accepted the gift without reservation.As they chatted for a while, time slipped away. It was already past 6:00 pm by the time Yvette left Hanstein Group.Meanwhile, most of the employees at Titan Corporation had left. Marlene grinned when she heard from Jeana that Yvette hadn't returned yet."She probably couldn't get the contract signed and is too embarrassed to come back,"
Jeana quickly stepped forward. "Yvet—Ms. Snyder, how did the contract signing go?"Yvette knew that these people weren't genuinely interested in the contract but rather in seeing whether she made a fool of herself. She took out the signed contract. "It's signed."The moment she said those words, everyone was in disbelief. How had Yvette managed to get the notoriously difficult CEO of Hanstein Group to sign?Cassidy was the most despised person among the employees. Whenever Jeremiah had to meet with her for work, none of them wanted to go with him, as it inevitably led to humiliation."That's impossible," Londyn uttered as she stepped forward, took the contract from Yvette, and checked it. Sure enough, it bore the official seal of Hanstein Group and Cassidy's signature. Nothing was amiss.Still in shock, the other employees gathered around to see.Jeana in particular was reluctant to accept this. Hadn't Marlene said that Cassidy was temperamental and would never agree to sign a
In the company, everyone was discussing how Yvette had managed to secure the contract. Jeremiah also called Yvette into his office to ask her how she'd done it.Yvette replied truthfully, "I happened to know a friend of Ms. Hanstein's. It's thanks to her that I got to know Ms. Hanstein.""I see." Jeremiah glanced outside, noticing that the sky was getting dark. "It's getting late. Let's get off work. I'll give you a ride home.""It's okay." Yvette immediately refused."I thought your driver didn't drive you here today," Jeremiah remarked. Since he'd had someone follow Yvette, he knew that she had taken a cab to Hanstein Group earlier.Yvette replied rather bashfully, "Xavier said he would pick me up and take me home from now on."Jeremiah's expression stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. "Oh, I see. In that case, you should get off work early. Don't keep Xav waiting too long.""Okay." Yvette nodded and walked out of the office.After she left, Jeremiah receive
Bullying a young lady?As Zoey spoke, a few employees who had just gotten off work gathered around to watch the commotion.The sight of a tearful young woman accusing someone in front of a luxury car drew a lot of attention and suspicion from onlookers.Yvette felt even more speechless. She looked at Zoey, asking in return, "Ms. Yandell, at what point did it look like I was bullying her? My husband came to pick me up, and she insisted on getting in the car too. We only told her to take a cab home. How is that bullying?"She explained everything in one sentence.But Zoey wanted to take advantage of the situation. After all, with people around and Jeana's unreasonable behavior, she wanted to help Jeana embarrass Yvette."But look at her tears! What's the harm in giving her a ride?"Yvette was exhausted that day. Since she was pregnant, her emotions were already unstable, and she easily felt sleepy.Suppressing her discomfort, she asked, "Do you want to repeat what you just said?"
Yvette was caught off-guard when she saw Yara. It took her a while to regain her composure. "Madam Yara, did someone ask you to come?"Hearing Yvette's voice, Yara looked up at her uneasily."I—"Before she could finish, Jeana interjected, "Yvette, isn't she your mother? Why are you calling her Madam Yara? That's rude."Jeana intentionally asked that as she knew that there was some kind of conflict between Yvette and Yara.At Jeana's words, Yara immediately turned to her and scolded her. "Don't say that; she can call me whatever she wants."After all, she wasn't Yvette's biological mother.Yvette clenched her fists. She ignored Jeana as she approached Yara, saying, "If you have something to say, let's talk outside.""Okay." Yara stood up and followed Yvette outside.Seeing this, Jeana quietly followed them out.Once outside, under the dim light of the street lamp, Yvette coldly asked, "Do you want money? Or is it something else?"Since Yara's husband and biological children
"Xav, I can confirm that the shard of glass is the culprit," Tristan announced as he sat down. "We need to arrange a time for the surgery. However, this procedure may carry significant risks."Xavier couldn't help but ask, "What kind of risks?""The shard is in a particularly delicate position, surrounded by many brain nerves. If the surgery is not performed correctly, you could end up with an intellectual disability," Tristan uttered solemnly.This was also why he hadn't dared to remove the foreign object when he'd seen it before stitching up Xavier's wound. Brain surgeries had to be carried out with extreme caution; even the smallest mistake could lead to lifelong suffering for the patient.Xavier didn't speak for a long time after hearing this. He eventually asked, "How confident are you?""Less than 50%." Tristan sighed.It wasn't that his skills were lacking; he could guarantee that no surgeon in the country would have even half that confidence.Xavier didn't make a decis
After Yvette finished speaking, she felt a bit conflicted. "But if I became blind, I wouldn't be confident about taking care of the children either…"At this point, she recalled Xavier's blindness and assumed he was suddenly feeling down. She quickly added, "You're definitely not the same as me. I think even though you can't see now, you're still better than many normal people. Don't overthink it."Xavier listened silently before finally saying, "Mm, you can continue with work.""Okay." Worried he might overthink things, Yvette added, "Alright, don't think too much. Good boy."After hanging up, Xavier still held his phone tightly.Yvette's playful "good boy" echoed in his mind.Good boy? Xavier felt a myriad of emotions.On the other side, Yvette looked at her phone, also lost in thought.It had been a long time since Xavier had lost his sight, and it was the first time she'd heard him sound so unsure, as though he lacked confidence.She thought about leaving work early today
Marlene hadn't expected Yvette to confront her in front of so many people."What are you implying? Do you think I'm not following standard procedure by asking you to go to IM Enterprise? I want you to talk to their people and express our intent to collaborate," Marlene exclaimed, clearly getting angry as she raised her voice.The other executives around were used to her fluctuating moods and stayed silent, secretly worried for Yvette, whom they saw as merely the new secretary.At that moment, Jeremiah spoke up. "Ms. Larson, Yvette is my secretary and isn't responsible for liaising with competing companies. If you need someone, you can go to the public relations or sales departments. It would be more appropriate for them to go."Once the boss spoke, Marlene was instantly silenced.After a moment of restraint, she muttered, "I was just joking with Ms. Snyder. Why take it so seriously? I know she's the CEO's secretary."With that, she smiled at Yvette. "Of course, it would be too ha
