The last time when Charlotte threw a high-tea party, Lauren openly snapped back at Kelly, driving her up the wall."Jo, don't you have any standards when it comes to recruitment?" Kelly asked.The look on Lauren's face was equally ugly. "Mrs. Collinsworth, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that I'm some kind of junk who's disgracing the company by working here?""This company belongs to the Collinsworth family. If I think you're not qualified, then you're not." Kelly turned to Joseph. "Fire her, Jo!"Hearing that, Lauren turned to Joseph, too. If he danced to the same tune as Kelly, she'd break his dumb head before resigning and leaving this shitty place.Joseph wore a somber expression. "Mom, since this company is mine, then I should manage it. Lauren is serious at work. I have no reason to fire her."Furthermore, she was the one who supported me in making a career for myself. That's why I started a company. This company wouldn't have existed without her. I'd still be raci

When Kelly was out of the house, she called Arthur and told him about Ronald's request.Arthur was not the least surprised. "I got it. I'll visit him afterward.""This family is weird. Artie, invite Willow home and let me meet her."She was worried that a child brought up by Ronald and Carmen would turn out weird as well."The time will come," Arthur replied perfunctorily. …As it was still early after hanging up with Arthur, Kelly decided to go shopping."Mrs. Collinsworth, many from the Nocturna upper-class are saying that there's a good patisserie. Would you like to take a look?" her driver suggested."A patisserie?" All of a sudden, Serena came into Kelly's mind.Speaking of which, the desserts made by Serena were delicious, and she suddenly had a craving for desserts."Sure. Let's check it out."Her driver sped along and soon reached a patisserie. Kelly glanced at the storefront and thought that it was tastefully decorated.The store was spacious. Even though it wasn'

"That explains it. You're so busy every day that you don't have time left for Mr. Quade anymore, do you?" Gwen looked helpless as she added, "I thought that Mr. Quade's temper has been a little short recently. That's because you've been giving him the cold shoulder.""Don't let him get to you. As long as he pays you on time, you should just ignore everything else," Serena said."You have a point."Serena shoved a piece of cake toward her. "Would you like to try this today? Our patisserie chef just came up with this new flavor.""Sure, I'll get a piece." However, Gwen didn't leave after the cake was packed into a box, and there was a complicated look on her face."Serena, I'm resigning soon."Serena was puzzled. "Why?"When Gwen seemed hesitant to speak, Serena passed the work at the counter to a staff member and stepped out with Gwen. There was a bench on the side, and they sat on it outside.After a long moment of silence, Gwen uttered, "Serena, I think I never told you in

When Damian walked into the patisserie, the young ladies in the store stole a look at him."Hi, Serena," he greeted."Hey, Damian. What brought you here?""I happen to pass by here, so I decided to drop in." Damian smiled softly, revealing his pearly whites. Next to Serena, Joanna stared at him, smitten. "Serena, what's up with you? All the guys you know are dashing! As they say, good-looking people only hang out with each other. People with ordinary looks like us are left to ourselves, dissing each other."Damian looked at her. "You're rather cute, too. Your eyes are big, like a deer's.""Really?" Joanna was so happy that her eyes were shimmering brightly.Receiving a compliment from a dashing man was enough to keep her happy for the entire day. Shy but excited, Joanna scurried into a corner.Serena turned to Damian. "Do you like desserts as well? Which flavor do you prefer? I can recommend something to you.""Strawberry flavor, I guess. Actually, I'm here today to apologiz

At 6:15 pm, Justin received an email in his private email. His irises shrank after he checked his inbox; it was Serena.After a short moment of stunned silence, he realized that Serena might have scheduled this email to be sent exactly at this time—because 6:01 pm was when he was born, not a minute earlier.With trembling hands, he opened the email.A video recorded by Serena greeted him, and she looked demure as she faced the camera."Justin, it's your 28th birthday today. Happy birthday. While you're watching this video, do you think that I recorded it today?"Actually, no. This was recorded six months before your birthday…"This was just as Justin expected, so he wasn't surprised at all.In the video, Serena chuckled shyly. When she laughed like that, she had a hint of innocence that could soften anyone's heart.Justin couldn't help but laugh along with her, and she continued, "It's 3:00 am now, and you're still abroad, but I'm missing you suddenly. I remember you said that
