Avery stared at him in shock. "Avery, don't overthink this. The kids are growing up, and they have their own thoughts. As long as they don't make horrible mistakes and focus on their studies, we don't have to be so nervous," Elliot said and left, leaving Avery to walk into the building. As soon as she entered the office, Avery immediately called the new Vice President, who hurried to Avery's office shortly after.Avery was slightly taken by surprise as she did not think that he would look so young. Though she knew that he was actually in his forties, he seemed to have maintained his health well, and he looked to be in his thirties."Hello, President Tate. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Melvin Thornton. Glad to meet your acquaintance. You look far more beautiful than you do in photos.""Hello, Mr. Thornton.""There's no need for such formality! Just call me Melvin," he said. "Frankly, I feel a little hurt that you didn't invite me to your wedding."She froze for a mom

He then sent her a text message. [Do not hire guys.][???] Avery replied.[I will hire a man, and you will hire a woman. Alright?][... You really are petty, aren't you?][I'll be upset if you say that.][You can't be so sexist in your workplace! Anyone who qualifies should get the job, no matter their gender! Can we not be so stubborn?][So you are okay with me hiring a female assistant?]Without hesitation, Avery replied. [Of course! What's there to worry about? You have plenty of pretty secretaries in your office. When have I ever said a word about them? Not only are your secretaries pretty, but so are most of your female employees. I can't help but suspect that your company is hiring them for their looks.][I don't know. I've never placed such a request with human resource. I will go ask them about it.][Save it! I'm just chit-chatting. It's going to be embarrassing if you actually ask others about this! I think your company is filled with capable people who have good look

At noon, the news of Elliot hiring a new assistant became the talk of the town, as people like Elliot rarely hired outsiders. If he needed an assistant, he could choose one of his existing staff or take his pick from companies in the similar field, but he did not do so.The reason that everyone was talking about it was the offering that came with the job; according to the hiring advertisement, the assistant would receive a starting annual salary of 1.5 million and the sky was the limit. If the candidate performed well, they might be rewarded with some of the company's shares as well.No one could resist such an offer. Though it was rather difficult to meet all the requirements stated, there were still plenty of people who were eligible.Like Avery had mentioned, he would not have to worry about acquiring talents when he made a good offer."Elliot is hiring an assistant." Natalie's lips curled into a smile when she saw the news report."We already knew, right?" Holly said. "So, did

Madam nodded. "I know, but the question right now is whether Irene will be bullied by the other children at school.""If they dared try, she would surely fight back. I have already told her everything," the old woman said.Madam shook her head. "The school won't allow fighting. I'll take her to school later and talk to her teacher.""Okay. Let Irene try this school and see whether it works out or not. If it doesn't, she doesn't have to attend kindergarten. She won't learn much from it, anyway." The old woman cared about Irene. "She is used to playing with children in the chapel. Now that she's locked up at home all day, she's really depressed. She used to sleep well. She would fall asleep as soon as she lay in bed. Now, she can't sleep. Even if she does fall asleep, she wakes up in the middle of the night. I'm really afraid that she will actually be depressed if this continues.""I know that she's unhappy, but, until everything has been clearly investigated, she must remain that wa

"Alright. Under such circumstances, the child can be enrolled with us. I will talk to the teacher and the students in her class. The students should be able to accept Irene.""Can we let her try it out first? I'm afraid she might not be able to fit in.""Sure. She can start today," the principal said enthusiastically. "You can pick her up at five in the evening."Madam nodded before drawing Irene to the side and asking, "Do you want to go to school right now or wait until tomorrow?"Irene did not want to bother Madam, so she understandingly said, "I'll try it out right now!""Okay, then. I'll come at five this evening to pick you up. If I don't have time, Grandma will come to pick you up instead.""Hmm… I understand, Madam. You can go home!"Madam nodded. "Remember what Grandma told you. If someone asks you strange questions, don't answer them. If you feel that something is not right, try your best to hide immediately. Do you understand?""Yes, Madam."…In the evening, Ellio

"Why do you seem a little unhappy about that?" Elliot asked with a smile. "Hayden is still on your side!""I'm not unhappy. Wouldn't I be less worried if you had a good relationship with the children? When they have holidays, you can be the one who takes care of them, while I just do nothing but comment on all of you." Avery could not help but smile. "Since you like to take care of the children so much, I will have to give you an award at the end of the year. Award of The Best Daddy!""Thank you! I don't need the award. The children are mine. Caring for them is my responsibility and obligation." Elliot looked relaxed. "The children also won't need us for much longer. Hayden doesn't need us at all anymore. We need him, in fact. Layla also doesn't need us that much. If we weren't so strict with her, don't you think that she would run out and play the moment she had a holiday? Didn't she keep asking for Eric to stay at our place to play with her during our honeymoon? If it weren't for h

"Hmm… I know Layla is mature. She is no longer a child, which was why I was a little worried that she would have those sort of feelings for Eric," Avery said, voicing her concerns.This made Mrs. Cooper grow worried, too."Truth be told, I've never thought about it that way. But your worries are not illogical. Layla has truly grown up. Children nowadays are exposed to the internet earlier. It makes sense that they would mature much earlier than people in the past. If you're worried about it, you could talk to Layla," Mrs. Cooper said."I don't know how to bring it up. Eric is such a great person. Many girls like him, including me. I admire him a lot. I'm just afraid that Layla, at her age, doesn't know how to differentiate the many types of 'like'…""Why don't you talk to Eric? I think Eric has set his boundaries. Even if Layla confesses to him, he will reject her." Mrs. Cooper felt relieved when she said that. "You are Eric's savior. He won't mess about with Layla.""I'm not worr

"He hasn't found a suitable one yet, right? Let's wait until he finds a girlfriend!" Layla's gaze returned to her papers. "Mommy, you're suddenly so serious!""Am I?" Avery was afraid that her attitude would scare Layla, so she immediately started to laugh. "I'm only worried because Uncle Eric doesn't have that many holidays. If you spend all your winter and summer breaks with him, he won't have time to find a girlfriend. This would affect him quite badly."Layla pouted."You also know that Uncle Eric's parents are forcing him to go on blind dates. They really hope that he will quickly find a girlfriend and start a family. After all, he is not young anymore." Avery subtly implied the age gap Layla and Eric had between them."Mommy, why do you think the same way everyone else does? Uncle Eric is not old at all. If he doesn't want to find a girlfriend and doesn't want to get married, you can't force him." Layla looked at Avery once more, feeling injured on Eric's behalf.Avery smile

"I know. You need to be of legal age to get married. You were the one who asked me about this, which was why I told you that!" Layla continued her homework."Layla, have you mentioned any of this to Eric?" Avery was a little worried. She did not know how to face Eric in the future."I don't think so. I can't remember if I have said it in the past or not, but I'm sure I haven't said it this year." Layla smiled widely. "I've never thought so much about this before!""You shouldn't think about it anyway! If Uncle Eric finds a girlfriend in the future, you are not allowed to call on him anymore," Avery said seriously. "If you were Aunt Shea's age right now, I wouldn't stop you from doing anything. We should do things according to our age. Right now, your main mission is to study.""Mommy, I know. Study. Study and do well! If I am in the top three for this final exam, let me go and have fun!" Layla pleaded, grabbing Avery's hand."Okay. If you want to play with Uncle Eric, I will get t

After going through it, her feelings were the same as when she had looked through the first one.This candidate was as exceptional a lady as the first.
