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
“Ah, wow…”“Oh my god, oh my god..”The two sounds rang out at the same time, but in two different people and in two different states.Perhaps no one would have thought that someone “like Justin” could knock down a fat man like Verney. And at this moment, Verney couldn’t believe that he was so easily defeated.Justin brushed his hands off and turned to look at Verney with disdain. And Verney was now lying on the ground, writhing like a twisted worm. He hugged his back, his arms, his head.“Oh my gosh, quick, call an ambulance, call an ambulance.”Verney cried, a big, muscular man who was crying now.As for Laura, she was standing to the side and covering her mouth with her hand. She thought to herself that this time it was a big deal, a real big deal. Mrs. Laura bent down to help Verney stand up, but he struggled, or more accurately, ‘tangled’, and threw her away.“Get out! I told you to call an ambulance, didn’t you listen? Oh my body, I will definitely tell mom! I will say this to M
“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
Mozzafiato Country,Palace,A figure hurriedly ran into the hallway, his silhouette reflected in the marble floor, frantically, also mixed with a bit of insecurity.The other person stopped in front of a large door carved with extremely delicate patterns. The door is three meters high and two meters wide, enough for an army to enter easily.Outside the door, there are two powerful men standing guard. They are two meters tall, with powerful muscles, fierce faces, combined with a cold seriousness, which makes them exude an aura that makes people unconsciously admire them scared and bowed his head.They wore a suit designed specifically for gatekeepers, including bulletproof parts and a place to store guns and weapons, and the bag of food was also designed to be placed in a place where no one could easily find it go out.Besides, the walkie-talkie shrinks into a chip mounted behind the ear. Anyone who is not in the industry will never know these secrets.Putting that aside for now, the h
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
Mr. Thomas voraciously devoured the last morsels of the tasting tray. Yet, in the end, he didn’t even know what he had eaten.After finishing his meal, he praised with satisfaction. Then, two young girls thanked him and left.Julie, observing from above, couldn’t help but sigh. She knew her grandfather had a penchant for beautiful girls, but not to this extent. If her grandmother saw this, it would be disastrous.At this moment, Mr. Thomas, having just finished eating and wiping his mouth with the napkin provided by the girls, exclaimed that the napkin still carried the scent of those beautiful girls. Suddenly, he felt his stomach churning.“Gurgle, gurgle,” his stomach made extremely loud noises, as if the food he had just eaten was churning and demanding to exit.“Oh my, what’s happening? Could it be that the food I just had didn’t sit well with me? It shouldn’t be like this. Being invited to eat by beautiful girls...” Mr. Thomas felt a sharp pain in his stomach. If he couldn’t find
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.
Mr. Thomas rubbed his stomach, scanning the area for Julie. He thought she must be sitting somewhere patiently waiting for him after finishing playing. But at this moment, Mr. Thomas couldn’t spot Julie anywhere, even after looking around.A sense of unease crept into his heart. But for now, he simply thought that she might play somewhere and thought little about it.“Julie. Julie, where are you?”Mr. Thomas called out, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the surrounding noise. Feeling that calling out wasn’t effective, he went to the ticket counter to inquire.But the staff said that she had left a long time ago.Where could she have gone?Mr. Thomas quickly searched around the amusement park counters once again, then wandered through all the food stalls. But then he realized, why would Julie have money to come here?Could it be... she had been kidnapped!?Mr. Thomas felt anxious about that thought. But if she were lost, she would have cried loudly and attracted the attention of
