“So... Lyly...”“Miss Lyly is currently in the emergency room, sir,” Harry said, his face pale with worry. Upon hearing this, Verney also staggered towards the emergency room.“Let me attend to her. I have to be the one to attend to her...”“Sir, you’re not calm right now. You can’t. Head of department Robert and Dr. Nor are already there. Miss Lyly will be fine...” Harry interrupted Verney’s anxious speech, trying to advise his teacher but seemingly in vain.“No!”Verney pushed Harry aside, the force causing him to collide with the wall behind. Then Harry staggered back towards the emergency room.Justin stood behind, witnessing everything. He furrowed his brows slightly, surprised that this arrow had hit two targets this time.Perhaps there was something more than a simple teacher-student relationship between Verney and Lyly. Verney was normally calm and had a powerful spirit. Those who practiced medicine had already toughened their spirits, and Verney, being a prodigy from a young
Justin carried his suspicions with him, determined to clarify this matter before returning to Newtown City.Holding the pill bottle in his hand, he silently stowed it away in the secret pocket of his uniform, then closed his eyes to sleep.According to the schedule, this afternoon was the time Justin would leave the Mozzafiato country.Therefore, in the morning, he woke up early, changed clothes, and went to the hospital’s pharmacy.But halfway there, he remembered that the pharmacy had been blown up since yesterday.Justin turned around, silently analyzing whom he should seek. At that moment, as he lifted his head, he suddenly saw Harry approaching from the opposite direction.“Lord Justin.”Harry had also spotted Justin and quickly approached, bowing his head in greeting.In Justin’s mind at that moment, he thought it was perfect timing. Just as he was wondering whom to seek, Harry appeared, and he seemed like a decent choice right now.“Perfect timing. I was just looking for you,”
Katherine was doing a hush at Mrs. Laura’s words, like an unaffected statue.But when she heard Mrs. Laura mention Justin, Katherine seemed to bristle involuntarily, or, to be more precise, the name Justin acted like a switch “turning on” a robot, and Katherine started up.“Mom, please stop it,” Katherine raised her voice.Seeing her suddenly raise her voice, Mrs. Laura was shocked, too. She stared at her with wide eyes, simultaneously frozen as if she couldn’t believe it.“What... what’s happening...” In Mrs. Laura’s memory, Katherine had never dared to raise her voice or speak up to her.But now, Katherine stood her ground.“I don’t need to change rooms. I’m used to being here. Besides, from now on, don’t mention Justin anymore. You don’t have any good intentions or sincerity towards him, anyway.”Katherine didn’t hold back, hitting Mrs. Laura straight in the dark heart, exposing her deceit and manipulation, leaving her stunned for a few minutes.When she regained consciousness, she
Katherine surfed the recruitment information website, from top to bottom. She did not believe that she would not find a suitable job for her.And God seemed to have not ignored her.When Katherine had just moved the mouse down two notches, she saw a job advertisement for office staff, whose job was to enter data and advise customers.It is very suitable for her as well as the previous field of study that Katherine pursued.She immediately clicked, then sent her CV in an extremely nervous state.To be more certain, she not only applied to one company but also found some other recruitment information that she felt was suitable to send her CV. Hope to find a job as soon as possible.After spreading her CV to over ten companies and being sure that she would be called for an interview at least four companies, Katherine felt secure enough to turn off her laptop and go to bed.Returning to bed, she saw Julie asleep. In the past five years, Katherine has lost count of the number of times she
Katherine bent down and picked up the card, a black card... with the name of Justin, Justin Kimberly.At that moment, in her mind, Katherine suddenly imagined the memory from a few days ago when Justin couldn’t find his bank card. It was highly likely that he had left it somewhere on his person and then dropped it here.Katherine held the bank card in her hand, and an inappropriate thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Right at that moment, Julie suddenly opened the door and stepped in.“Mom, I’ve finished my personal hygiene and changing clothes.”Julie’s sudden appearance startled Katherine; perhaps because of the existing unease in her heart, her startle seemed exaggerated. Katherine hastily hid the bank card, then replied hesitantly.“Oh, alright, just wait a moment, dear. Once I’m done changing, I’ll take you to school immediately. You go downstairs first.”Julie noticed her mother’s strange behavior but said nothing, simply obeying her mother’s words, and quickly went downs
“It’s that black card.”“That’s right, so wealthy, truly admirable.”“I wish I could be like her.”“...”The surrounding employees whispered, their tones filled with admiration and eyes shining with longing.Listening to those words, Katherine suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart. Anyone had never admired and desired her before. No one had ever looked at her with that gaze, that admiring look.Now, experiencing this feeling for the first time, Katherine felt incredibly exhilarated. Unconsciously, she lifted her head high, her face radiant.The cashier had finished the transaction, returning the card, receipt, and bag of items to Katherine.“I’ll escort you out. Thank you for visiting and shopping here. Next time you have a chance, please visit our store again.”The cashier’s courteous manner made Katherine feel even more “proud” to be respected. She took back her card, receipt, and bag of items, then left.After leaving the IVY Moda store, Katherine went to a famous makeup s
“Choice?” Katherine asked again, in a haze of confusion. Wasn’t she already chosen? What was this about? What choice?Not letting her curiosity linger for too long, Laramie continued:“Yes, that’s right. Currently, I’m lacking an executive assistant. So, I’d like to offer you the position.”“Executive assistant?” Katherine went from puzzled to astonished. She knew that being the executive assistant to the CEO was a higher position than an ordinary office worker, with a higher salary, benefits, and responsibilities. She had originally applied for a normal employee position, but now she was being offered this position?Katherine couldn’t believe it.“Yes, that’s correct. I believe you’re very suitable for the role of my assistant. What do you think?”As soon as Laramie finished speaking, he reached out to stroke Katherine’s cheek. His action sent shivers down her spine.“I... I don’t think I’m suitable. You could choose someone else. Among the candidates today, there are also very outst
Justin swiftly made his way out of the hospital, as he was familiar with the entrance and exit routes. Outside, the chaos was no less. In the urgent situation, many people rushed inside, worried about their loved ones still there.At that moment, a hand suddenly grasped Justin’s. He turned to see it was Caesar.“My lord, we must hurry. Time is running out,” Caesar said, swiftly clearing the way for Justin. As he departed, Justin glanced back at the hospital one last time. Most patients here were soldiers, and the medical staff were trained in military environments, equipped to handle emergencies or sudden natural disasters. He believed everything would be fine this time.Caesar had also adjusted the vibration amplitude to remain within manageable levels, easing Justin’s discomfort.Together, Justin and Caesar quickly arrived at the airport. His close guards, who also doubled as ground staff and flight attendants, greeted him as he arrived.“No need for formalities. Let’s go quickly,”
