Chapter 11

It had been a few days since Dean turned in his resignation. But Corbyn didn't even know about Dean's actual situation.Sylvia strode into Dean's house before he could respond to her question."Don't come in," Dean spoke up right away.He was an extremely territorial person who hated it when others stepped into his residence.Upon noticing the unconcealed disgust on Dean's face, Sylvia could only smile bitterly in response. She took a step backward, returning to the doorway once again.She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Dean. I know that you think I've stolen your client and your position. In fact, you most likely think that I'm the reason you were forced to quit your job. But the truth is, I don't harbor any hostility toward you at all.""What?" Corbyn raised his voice immediately. "Not only did you steal Deanie's client and position, but you also made him quit his job?"Sylvia looked surprised. "Huh? You didn't know what happened to Dean?"This time, Corbyn was the one feel

Corbyn looked at Dean worriedly. "Deanie, you actually quit your job? Why didn't I know anything about this?"Dean replied, "There's no need for me to go into detail when it comes to work matters. Speaking of which, I'm not that familiar with matters concerning your job as well."He was just stating the facts, yet Corbyn felt that Dean was accusing him instead. Since Corbyn had been hiding the details of his actual job from Dean, what right did he have to question Dean?Corbyn could only lower his head in shame. He dared not utter another word after that. It didn't matter how many questions he had regarding Dean's current situation—all he could do was forget about them.At the same time, Corbyn didn't know how to deal with this awkward situation. All he could feel was mixed emotions.Meanwhile, Veronica, who had orchestrated the whole "expose Corbyn's true colors" incident, was quite interested in the aftermath. She specifically picked a good time to bump into Corbyn "by chance" a

Veronica repeated the same thing she had told Corbyn in the past. "Men are like dogs. Don't put him on a high pedestal, okay?"Corbyn's expression remained frozen. He didn't react to Veronica's words at all. It wasn't clear whether or not he actually took her words into consideration.Veronica could only shake her head when she noticed Corbyn's expression. "Let's not dwell on this topic. It's time for the meeting."The reason Veronica decided to show up for work was she needed to attend a relatively important meeting that was hosted by Vlad himself.Vlad was the founder-slash-chairman of Bloomberg Group. He didn't get to retire despite his age. It was mostly due to the fact that all three of his children were unable to lead the company on their own. As for those who came from the third generation, only two of them managed to fit Vlad's criteria.The first candidate was Corbyn, his grandson. The second candidate was Amanda, his granddaughter.Amanda was a few years older than Corb

Vlad cared about familial bonds more than anything else in this world. That was why he was willing to let the fact that the Bloomberg relatives leeched off Bloomberg Group without contributing anything slide.He applied his own logic to the competition between Corbyn and Amanda. It led to him thinking that those two were capable of competing for the position fair and square, seeing as they were related by blood. After all, they were a family at the end of the day.The Bloomberg relatives loved gossiping and watching live drama unfold before their eyes. Hence, they decided to fan the flames by seeking Amanda out."At the end of the day, Corey's a man. A woman like you is meant to be married to another family in the future."Amanda just smiled. "What are you talking about? Aunt Veronica is a woman as well, isn't she? She gave birth to Corey, yet Corey still took after her last name. That's the only reason he's even a part of our family in the first place."Someone else added, "Tsk!

Honestly speaking, Dean was a very capable man. Someone like him shouldn't be worrying about the chances of securing a new job. However, thanks to David's efforts of twisting and spreading the whole "Dean plotted against Kelvin just to get revenge on him" incident, many bosses in Gold's Street grew wary of Dean.Truthfully, the industry bosses were involved in something shady. Of course, they were worried that they might end up hiring a ticking time bomb who might jeopardize their careers.In a way, Dean's inability to find a job so soon allowed him to slow down and enjoy life for once. Coincidentally, Corbyn's schedule was pretty empty as well, seeing as he had just joined the Education Requisition Department. He got to get to work and off work on time every day.Because of that, Dean and Corbyn were able to have breakfast and dinner regularly during those days, which was a pretty rare moment.To think that a couple, who had been living together for many years, could count the n

Then again, both David and Sylvia were professionals at controlling their emotions. Instead, they just smiled."Oh? Isn't that Dean and that meek boyfriend of his? What a coincidence!"Corbyn replied coldly, "Yeah, it is a coincidence. Had we known that you'd be here, we wouldn't have come here in the first place."In the past, Corbyn had pretended to be Dean's "meek boyfriend" just to preserve David and Sylvia's pride. Now, there was no need for him to do so. Since he was no longer putting up a facade in front of Dean, why should he do the same in front of David and Sylvia?When Sylvia heard Corbyn's tone, she felt rather amused. All she did was shake her head.Meanwhile, David just chuckled. "You two sure have a lot of free time on your hands, huh? Dean, how's the job hunt going?"How was the job hunt going? What an awfully nice way to kick Dean where it hurt the most!After all, David was confident that Dean could never find a job on Gold's Street.David's sly smirk disgus

Huh?Corbyn's speech came all of a sudden that David, Sylvia, and the others were left befuddled. They were so stunned that they couldn't react at all.By then, Corbyn had already dragged Dean far, far away from them. All David and the others could see were the silhouettes of two good-looking men heading into the distance.Everyone fell silent at the table for a while. Finally, a colleague who had majored in researching the educational aspect spoke up, "Speaking of which, I think I remember something now. Bloomberg Group is a family company. The chairman's last name is Bloomberg…""It has to be a coincidence, right?" Sylvia murmured. She seemed to have remembered something as well. "Right, Corbyn did mention that he taught Yinglish before."Everyone's expressions faltered slightly. After all, they all thought Corbyn was just a weak pushover who relied on Dean to survive. Who would've thought that Corbyn was actually a rich brat who wanted to have a taste of a commoner's lifestyle?

When Dean got into the details, Corbyn snapped out of his trance immediately. He widened his eyes as he asked, "Did M-Global get in contact with you? Are you planning to move there?"Dean replied, "Yeah. The representative got in contact with me, but we have yet to sort out all the details."Corbyn's mind went blank. He could feel his fingertips starting to go cold. "Oh. So you've already decided to go to Merunica, but you never thought of telling me anything?"Dean said, "The plan isn't fully thought out yet.""But you've nailed down at least 80% of the plan, right?" Corbyn sounded very icy. "How long have you been communicating with M-Global?""More than two months," Dean answered.Corbyn's heart missed a beat at the answer. "More than two months? So this happened before you resigned from your previous company?""Yeah," Dean responded.David's guess was correct. Dean wasn't the type who'd turn in his resignation letter impulsively. It appeared that M-Global had gotten in touc

"Good," Dean said.Corbyn felt as though he was about to get an aneurysm.The next day, Corbyn was extremely distracted at work. He ended up overlooking a few numbers on the sheet. Martin Jagger, the manager of the Educational Requisition Department, had to point out the mistakes for him.Martin was a veteran employee in the company. Not to mention, he was also a relative of the Bloombergs. That was why he had the guts to put on airs in front of Corbyn.Hence, Martin decided to speak with Corbyn as an experienced senior employee of the department. "Youngsters like you shouldn't rush through work. You have to put your heart into it, you hear? Only when you put your heart into educational work will it be a success."Corbyn had always been a hothead. Still, he knew when to yield and admit his mistakes. It was true that he screwed up at work, which was why he didn't sass Martin at all.Instead, he nodded at Martin before saying, "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Jagger. If not, I'd end up

Somehow, Dean's reputation in Gold's Street underwent a strange transformation these few days.At first, David's blacklisting plan proceeded quite smoothly. Who would've thought that someone from the headquarters would call the regional branch just to chastise David all of a sudden?"Why did you approve Dean Hoffman's resignation?"David was shocked. "W-What do you mean by that?"The representative from the headquarters proceeded to lecture David for a long time. Soon, cold sweat began sliding down his face.Dean had published an academic essay about his quantitative model in a particularly famous magazine, which attracted the attention of many investing firms.Dean's model was equipped with an advanced version of self-learning capabilities. Its stability was quite high, and it was capable of performing abstract simulations. As such, this model was able to react faster than any other existing models on the market. Hence, it had a bright future in the investment industry.David
