Verney’s actions made Justin feel irritated, and he genuinely wanted to stand up and push him away, while also trying to win Katherine over to his side. However, at this moment, he realized he shouldn’t act that way.Katherine, on the other hand, felt extremely uncomfortable with Verney’s intrusive behavior. She deliberately shifted forward a bit, simultaneously leaning back, swaying her body to minimize contact with Verney’s arm as much as possible.“No need...” Justin rejected Verney’s “invitation.” But before he could finish his sentence, Verney burst into laughter and mockingly said, “Well, I’ll tell you, being poor and still having such high pride. Disdain for the job of a security guard, huh? So, what kind of job do you think someone like you can do? It’s truly meaningless.”Hearing Verney continuously belittle and ridicule Justin like this, Katherine couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. She, more than anyone else, understood Justin and knew he wasn’t like that. Despite how Kat

And the GAP Corporation, with its reputation, benefits, salary, everything, could help her prove her abilities. Prove to the Sherwood family, her parents, that she didn’t need to rely on anyone to secure an excellent position.Katherine feared that if she worked for another corporation, she wouldn’t have all of that and would end up just being a regular office worker with a measly salary. That would mean no future!And all these reasons convinced her to accept Laramie’s offer.Before noon, she called him to agree to the deal. He laughed heartily, seeming very pleased with the consent of the woman on the other end of the line.And today is Katherine’s first day at work, but she hasn’t called the HR department yet. She’s feeling anxious inside. But she thinks Laramie must like her, her looks, her demeanor, everything about her, so him defending or accommodating her, bending the rules for her, is normal.Because this relationship isn’t just a simple employer-employee one anymore.Looking

“Oh, no.”Katherine felt embarrassed. She was forced. She quickly grabbed the pen next to her and signed the contract.“Don’t you read it carefully again? Who knows, maybe there will be something to ask.”“No need. I think that’s fine. Thank you. Now I will go to director Laramie’s room, right?”“Right. Goodbye. Good luck.”After speaking, Katherine stood up and quickly left the human resources room.She put her hands on her chest, breathed a sigh of relief and consoled herself that nothing was wrong, there was nothing to think about. Every office environment has many hidden corners. If it’s not you, it’s this person or that person.After thinking about it, she immediately prepared to go to the CEO’s room. At this moment, some sounds of chatter suddenly entered her ears.“Is that the new employee today? Oh no, director Laramie’s new assistant?”“That’s right. It’s just the first day, being so late. It seems even more condescending than the old person.”“Have to say. Whoever sits in th

Cucciolo Playground,“Grandpa, I want to play on the merry-go-round.”“Grandpa, I want to ride the roller coaster.”“Grandpa, I want to jump on the Trampoline.”“Grandpa, I want to play in the worm tunnel.”“Grandpa, I want to ride the spinning platform.”It had been a long time since Julie had been to the playground, and she was extremely excited. There’s a saying that children often have more energy than adults, or more accurately, they never seem to run out of energy when they’re in a place they love. So, two hours had passed, and Julie had been running from one attraction to another showing no signs of getting tired.Meanwhile, Thomas was exhausted. Despite doing all the household chores at home, he had never felt as tired as he did now. Being dragged around by Julie, playing one game after another, and having to spend money on top of it all.“Are you tired? Can we go home?” Thomas couldn’t remember how many times he had asked that question. How could this child, who didn’t seem t

The burly man spoke and immediately swung his fist, aiming at the two men. They shut their eyes tightly, quickly pleading for mercy. Deep down, they felt that if they were hit, they might end up in the hospital for days. Seeing the muscular arm of the man, which was as big as the skinny man’s entire face, the two of them could only brace themselves for what was coming, tears welling up in their eyes.Just then, a calm voice suddenly sounded. “Hold on a moment.”The punch from the man was about to land on the faces of the two men when the voice saved them. The burly man halted his fist in mid-air.Now, all eyes were on the source of that voice.It was a middle-aged man, with silver-streaked hair and a refined demeanor. He wore a suit jacket, and his aura suggested he held an esteemed position in this place.“It’s all just a misunderstanding,” the newcomer said. Following him were some security guards. Two of them approached, freed Julie from the grasp of the others, and lifted her up.
