391 Discrimination in the Workplace

After finishing their ramen, Jackson mentioned he wanted to wander around the area, while Emily returned to the office.As soon as she got back, HR delivered some news. “Miranda, your assistant Amy has completed her onboarding process. We’ve set up her desk right outside your office. Is that arrangement okay with you?”Amy is here too? Emily thought with some surprise. Although Amy could be clumsy and a bit unreliable at times, Emily had grown to enjoy working with her. She had a way of lifting Emily’s spirits, especially when things got tough. Amy was like a little ball of sunshine.Just as HR was explaining, Amy peeked through the office door. As soon as she saw Emily, her face broke into a huge smile, and she waved energetically. “Miranda! It’s me, Amy!”The HR rep frowned slightly at her outburst, but Emily quickly stepped in. “It’s fine. Please set up Amy’s desk right beside mine in the office.”“In the office? Are you sure?” the HR rep asked, hesitating. “Normally, assistants si

392 A Challenge to Power

"Bob, please leave now!" Amy exclaimed, pushing against him as Bob easily dodged her attempts, his eyes locking onto Emily's."Miss Carter, show me your capabilities," Bob said calmly, his gaze unwavering. "Prove to me that your success isn't just based on your looks."Amy, enraged, yelled, "You're being completely unreasonable! You know perfectly well that this design couldn't be revised in a week, let alone overnight! Miranda is your superior, not your subordinate, and she doesn’t need to prove herself to you. Her abilities have already been recognized by the company, and whether or not you accept that is irrelevant!"“Oh, assistant,” Bob replied, a smile curling at his lips—a mix of provocation and challenge. “You’re wrong about that. If it weren’t for her sudden arrival, I would have been promoted to director. I’m not blindly dismissing her, but I need her to prove her abilities to me, to show that she’s not just a pretty face stealing something that should’ve been mine.”So that’

393 I Want to Pursue Her

Protection?She no longer needed anyone’s protection. She was her own armor now.In the meeting room, more than three hundred members of the design department were already seated. A secretary was going around, pouring water for everyone.But the table in front of them was bare—no documents, no agenda. Nobody knew what this meeting was about. Many of the men in the room exchanged disdainful glances.“Ugh, why does a woman like that even bother working? Wouldn’t she be better off waiting at home for a man to satisfy her?”“Maybe her man can’t satisfy her. That’s why she’s out here, working and hunting for more.”“Hahaha, you guys are too blunt. Don’t hurt my little princess—I love her. I’m going to pursue her.”“Pursue her? She’s your boss now, and her salary’s probably ten times yours.”“So what? A man liking a woman shouldn’t be about salary, should it?”“Not usually, but let’s be real. Once a woman has money, she’ll just look for an even wealthier man. Someone like Adam, at least a C

394 Stunned the Room

Emily's statement stirred the entire room.Bob was the first to attack: "It seems Miranda is quite confident? This design isn't just my work; it’s the result of over a hundred people working for more than a month. And you dismiss it with a single sentence? Aren't you being a bit too confident?"Emily replied calmly, "I have every reason to be confident.""And what reason is that? Your pretty face or your impressive chest?""Those too. Thanks for the compliment. But I’d prefer if you focused on more than just my appearance. Otherwise, I'll start thinking you only have eyes that work, and your brain is just for decoration."Bob hadn’t expected her to push back so assertively. He was caught off guard, and his face darkened. "Miranda, you’d better hope your skills match your attitude. Otherwise, you'll only ruin the little goodwill you have.""In this company, I'm the head of the design department. I don't need goodwill. I need compliance."With that, Emily turned on the projector. The sc

395 Be My Girlfriend

Satisfied?Whether Bob is satisfied or not is no longer important.Her abilities have been proven before everyone's eyes.The original design, which took over a month to create, was revamped by Miranda in just half an hour, including reverse engineering the original data.The total salaries of over a hundred people in a month couldn’t compare to the value she generated in half an hour. Who could still question her high salary?Amy was even more excited than Miranda, starting the applause. Gradually, a few more joined in, and soon the entire room, except for Bob, was filled with thunderous applause.Adam clapped along, his face glowing with pride.Look at this—he chose the right person.He may have offered a high salary, but she was worth it!No one dared to utter another word of doubt!“Miranda, you’re amazing! You’re my goddess now!” Amy exclaimed, jumping up to hug her.Miranda laughed and gently freed herself from Amy's embrace. “My dear assistant, could you please make me a cup of

396 The Veteran Driver Takes Off

Jackson was unusually serious, with snowflakes covering his hair and shoulders, as if he had been waiting in the snow for quite a while.The bright red roses in his arms were dusted with white snow, creating a stunning contrast that filled the air with a subtle fragrance.Holding the enormous bouquet close, Jackson, towering over others, seemed to struggle a bit with the weight. He knelt in the snow, looking up at her: “Emily, give me a chance to take care of you for the rest of your life. You can evaluate me for as long as you want. If you have any concerns, you can end our relationship at any time and we can go back to being friends, or even strangers. I won’t complain.”The sudden seriousness from someone usually playful left Miranda at a loss.“Jackson, stop joking around, get up…”“Promise me,” Jackson insisted. “I’ve nearly ordered all the roses in London for you. At least give me some reaction?”Onlookers pulled out their phones to capture the moment, chanting in English, “Marr

397 The Benevolent Favor of the Empress

Jackson didn’t put her down; he carried her while buying two hot dogs, handing one to her and, after a moment of thought, handing her the other too.“You’re giving me both? Aren’t you going to eat?” Miranda asked hesitantly.“Of course I’ll eat,” Jackson chuckled. “But as the driver, I have to ensure your safety. My hands are full, so you can feed me.”“You’re just being cheeky,” Miranda mumbled.“What was that?”“Nothing,” she said, holding the hot dog up for him to take a bite. He obliged but yelped, “It’s too hot! It’s burning me!”“It just came out of the oven and fryer; of course it’s hot! You must be starving to take such a big bite,” Miranda teased.Jackson, feeling embarrassed, replied, “I’m not starving, but this is the first time you’re feeding me. I have to eat more to enjoy your empress grace.”“That’s grammatically incorrect. An empress can’t have a ‘grace’ like that,” she pointed out.“So what, ‘mother’s grace’? That doesn’t fit either. Whatever, language is for express

398 Boss, I Want a Raise

Everyone assured him it was no problem.Miranda chimed in, “I just arrived, too.”Adam gave her a teasing look, smirking as he rubbed his chin, “So, did you have a romantic night with your boyfriend?”Her face flushed instantly.“No, not at all! He has his own place; I stayed at the company dorm last night,” she hurriedly denied.“Haha, why are you explaining? I never said you lived together!” Adam winked. “I saw those roses and his love confession in the snow; so romantic!”Miranda could only laugh awkwardly.“Oh, it really sounds dreamy. Now I’m even nostalgic about my first love,” he sighed as he settled into his chair. “Too bad that’s impossible for me now.”“Why is it impossible? Did she marry someone else?” Miranda asked.“No, she passed away,” Adam said, his tone turning somber. “Let’s not dwell on sad topics. The reason I gathered you all is to discuss something important—the board has decided to enter the North America market.”Miranda and her colleagues exchanged puzzled gla

399 When Will You Learn to Take Care of Yourself?

When Emily walked back into the office, she found a circle of curious colleagues gathered around Amy’s desk.Amy was animatedly recounting Jackson's "difficult rise to be a boyfriend," and everyone was hanging on her every word. Upon seeing Emily return, the group erupted with excitement, instantly closing in around her.“Miranda, can we have a party at your boyfriend's place this weekend? I heard he’s really handsome!” one colleague exclaimed.“I’m kind of obsessed with American guys right now—he’s just so good-looking!” another chimed in.“I want to find an American boyfriend too, someone who’ll shower me with roses and carry me around on his shoulders!”Emily shot Amy a glare, knowing she had gotten a bit carried away. After all, her boss didn’t like to be in the spotlight. But she was just so happy! Jackson had been by Miranda’s side for so long, and now they finally seemed to be making it work.But in her excitement, Amy had said too much, and it was hard to reel it back in.Mira

400 A Heartfelt Concern

Jackson quickly relaxed. “But if we’re going to spend the rest of our lives in the UK, we need to adapt to the local customs,” he said. “And boots are definitely a must! My grandmother always said, ‘Girls shouldn’t let their feet get cold; it’ll cause problems later on.’”Emily raised an eyebrow. “Your grandmother actually told you that?”“Yeah, she’s been worrying about her two grandsons, both single and in their thirties. Now that I’m in the UK, she’s focused on my brother instead. I just hope he gets things sorted with Olivia soon; if he puts his mind to it, it should be a piece of cake.”“They’ve been dragging their feet for a while, huh?”“Yep,” Jackson replied, a hint of discomfort on his face. “Olivia mentioned she wouldn’t even consider marriage for three years after… well, after you know what happened. My brother’s just stuck waiting. It’s pitiful; he’s thirty-five and still single. If he gets married now, it’ll be years before he even becomes a dad. By the time his kid is of
