Serenity once again walked out of a job interview in failure. She smiled wryly.She had thought that she was mentally prepared for this. She was even willing to take a delivery job that did not even come with a basic salary, but even there, her application was rejected.Serenity glanced at the time. It was almost noon now, so she stopped by a small restaurant where she ordered a bowl of noodles that cost barely more than a dollar—the cheapest item in the restaurant.There was an old television in the restaurant with the news on it. It was a rerun of yesterday's news, so Serenity did not pay much attention to it at first, but when she heard a familiar company's name, her head instantly shot up.That... was the company where she had gotten an interview for a delivery job previously. It was the same company whose boss had called Jackson to tell him about her interview. Jackson had told her off-handedly that he would eliminate this company.And now... the news reported that the comp

"By the way," the woman added, "my name is Clara Wells. You can just call me Clare. What about you? What's your name?""Serenity Lewis," she answered, the dark clouds in her eyes now dissipated. "You can call me Serenity, Clare."Clara's eyes trembled as she looked at Serenity.After giving her name and contact number, Serenity left. A woman over 50 then walked up to Clara's side and asked her, "What were you talking about with that person?""She applied for the rider's job with us just now," Clara replied, "and I've given her the job. She'll start working tomorrow.""That young woman, a rider? Something's fishy here. Women like her would usually apply for office jobs, wouldn't they?"Because of the low salary, only people over the age of 50 ever asked about the job, and even they decided against taking the job because the wages were too low and the working hours were too long."She has a criminal record," Clara explained. "She was in a car crash that led to someone's death. Sti

"I'm so sorry," Clara said, "Yanny's never like this usually. He seems to like you very much.""It's okay," Serenity assured her before picking the boy up in her arms. "I like him very much too."The boy did not struggle when Serenity picked him up. Instead, he happily went along with it and even smiled at her when he was in her arms. But that smile was a mixture of timidness and admiration, which made her feel inexplicably sad.She tousled his hair and said to him, "Hello, Yanny!"But the little boy could not hear her, so he had no idea what she was saying to him. All he did was look up at her with eyes full of curiosity.Clara, who had been watching her son interacting with Serenity from the side, suddenly looked gloomy as a look of heartache flashed across her eyes. Did Yanny... regard Serenity as that person? Perhaps that was why he liked her so much... It was a pity that... they could never meet that person anymore.Serenity turned to Clara and asked her, "Can you teach me

But he immediately grabbed her arm and yanked her into a warm embrace.She instinctively tried to struggle free, but his hands hugged her even tighter."Your "good night" doesn't sound very sincere," he whispered next to her ear.She trembled slightly. She could feel his breath on her ear. She felt like she was being enveloped in his scent."Let... Let go," she said while blushing."Tell me about the first day at your new job," he urged."It's just a normal food delivery job. Someone orders something, I deliver it," she replied. She could feel her heart beating harder and her blood flowing faster."Is that so? Did you eat properly today?" he asked."Yes. I ate with my boss. I get two meals a day at my job." Her face was burning hot. The strange feeling made her panic. Right now, all she wanted was for him to let her go.However, he refused to do what she wanted. He grabbed her face and turned it towards him."Are you nervous?" he suddenly asked."N-No," she denied."But you

After Serenity pushed the trolley into the building, a receptionist greeted her. The receptionist only asked Serenity for her name and did not even ask her to register. She even took the initiative to help Serenity press the elevator button.All this caused Serenity to gradually come to a certain conclusion. When she arrived at the specified address, a tall woman in professional-looking attire came over and said, "Miss Lewis? I'm the one who ordered the food. You can put it down here. Please take these two sets to the CEO's office."Serenity's heart sank. Her questions had been answered.The CEO's office... Jackson was the CEO of Valor Group, so did that mean she was gonna take the two sets of takeout to Jackson's office?Serenity picked up the takeouts and went to the CEO’s office. In front of the dark wooden door, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door twice."Come in." A voice came from the inside.Serenity opened the door and walked in. She saw Jackson sitting at
