  A beep coming from a remote car lock could be heard from where they are. There were other people in the parking lot already. But the owner of the luxury car was not planning to let her go off the hook that easily. He stood there like he was an oversized cat cornering his tiny mouse. His rich green eyes narrowed as he scrutinized his prey. The lady in front of her has an ordinary height with an ordinary figure wearing an ordinary office uniform. However, her fiery red hair and defiant gaze were declaring otherwise. She is not a typical kind of woman. Somehow, Gabriel couldn’t take his eyes off her. “This is a Lamborghini Sian which is worth 3,000 times the average monthly wage,” he said in a composed manner as he continued to observe how she would react, “So that would be - Wait, how are you planning to pay me when you were just laid off?” The lady’s long eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her eyes bulged wide in response. She must h

  Everything came to a stand still. One could even hear the birds cawing outside the window as they flew in the sky.In shock, Evina turned her head away with her hand covering her mouth as she thought, “No wonder Cynthia couldn’t speak up.”Her stomach tightened as she imagined what the Director could have done to this poor girl. She clenched her fist as she controlled herself from confronting Director Zhou right then and there.“At first I thought he was just being extra friendly. But then he started touching me. I refused, Cynthia continued on narrating her story, “but he told me I would get fired if I didn’t give in.” She wrung her arm as she grimaced while sharing her experience with Evina. Every fiber of Evina’s muscles burned in anger, “I’m sorry to say this, Cynthia. But I think you should have chosen to be fired.”It is what she would do if she was in that situation. No one could ever touch her body without her consen

"So this is where she works," Gabriel's fingers tapped on the table as he continued to observe the structure of the Sapphire Co. Building. It has simplistic designs compared with The Elysian Co. But the windows offered a beautiful view of the landscape of the area, which is captivating to those who have been used to living in the metropolis. "Is that issue enough ground for her to abandon this place just like that?" He contemplated as he recalled why Mr. Li left the boardroom. Even though he was still irritated at her, he was curious about her reason for rebelling against this company. "Here it is, sir." Mr. Li came back in a flash, giving him a folder that contained the answer to his questions. Then he stepped back to allow him to read it by himself. "They were not investigated yet, though. We don't know if they were facts or just mere speculations," Mr. Li defended Director Zhou. Gabriel just nodded his head, pretending to agree with

Meanwhile… "I'll be there in ten minutes. Hold on, Evie." Maria comforted Evina as she honked her car horn like crazy. She had received the news that her younger sister just got fired. Without even saying goodbye to her colleagues, she immediately left her current location to meet with her. They were on the phone as she drove to where she was. "Take your time, Iya. It's not the end of the world," Evina replied to her older sister in a cheerful way. "Don't pull my leg. I know you too much, Evina Chen," Maria rolled her eyes, making Evina snort at the other end of the line. "Fine. Thanks, Jiejie. I appreciate it," Evina said sincerely before they dropped the call. Evina then picked up the iced tea in front of her to calm down her aching heart. Maria was right. She was devastated with the outcome of what she had done. Even though she believed that she just did the right thing, she was also concerned about her career. She let out a

Evina immediately searched for The Elysian Inc on the internet. She was familiar with the giant corporation, but she was unacquainted with the people behind the hierarchy. She must have vast knowledge of the company if she wants to be a part of it. “The Elysian Inc. offers a huge choice of software for many purposes. Their software is by far the most used operating system in the country. With an acquired revenue of $107.8 million, the dominating software industry remains The Elysian Inc. The company was founded in 1965 by founder Chairman Rafael Yang.” “Pretty impressive,” Evina nodded her head as she scrolled down the page. However, what caught her eye was the picture of the founder of the remarkable corporation. “I think he looks familiar,” She zoomed in to the picture of Chairman Yang, which was also in the webpage that she was looking at. He looks very attractive for a man his age. His aquiline nose was very prominent over his chiseled, angular fa
