“You two are unbelievable,” Emma hissed, unable to comprehend their nerve. Her breathing turned shallow, her chest tight with frustration.Everything that came out of Victor and Elena’s mouths felt like toxic fumes polluting the air around them.“I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously,” Victor said, placing a hand on Jack’s shoulder.Jack glanced at Victor’s hand; bold and uninvited.Victor left it there for a moment, trying to act unaffected.But under Jack’s sharp, silent, and piercing gaze, his confidence began to falter.Eventually, Victor pulled his hand back. Jack, without a word, immediately brushed off the spot where Victor had touched him.'What the hell? Does he think my hand is filth?' Victor’s temple twitched in annoyance.Though Jack still said nothing, the gesture alone made it clear, Victor’s touch had tainted his shoulder.Victor lifted his chin, trying to recover his pride. With arrogant flair, he adjusted his blazer.“Today is a good day for me. I have a meeti

Jack was silent. Even though he knew why people were acting this way, he couldn't tell the truth. "Probably because you're so pretty," Jack replied as he showed her his row of white teeth.Emma snorted. " There you go again." She then smiled softly, "But this is good. It means that if I get hired here, I'll be around people who really value and respect others.""That's right. Now, just focus on your interview, and stop thinking about anything else.""You're right. I need to focus so that I don't miss out on this precious opportunity.""Go, I'll wait here." Jack sat on the chair.Emma pressed her lips together. "Are you sure you'll wait for me in the lobby? Um, I don't know how long the interview will take yet. I'm worried about keeping you waiting too long." She sat next to Jack.Jack casually replied, "No problem. I can walk around if I get bored.""But...""Don't worry. I'm an adult. I won't get lost."A long breath escaped Emma's nose. "Alright then. But, if you change your mind a

Elena huffed in annoyance. She and Victor had been waiting for quite a while, yet Mr. Philanthropy still hadn’t come to meet them.“Honestly, just how close are you to Mr. Philanthropy? Why is he letting us wait this long?” Elena complained with a sour expression.Aside from being irritated at having to wait without knowing when Mr. Philanthropy would arrive, Elena also had a malicious intention. She wanted to continue humiliating Jack and his new girlfriend. She still couldn’t accept that she hadn’t been able to get back at Emma earlier.More than that, the cunning Elena was hoping to meet Mr. Philanthropy before Emma’s interview. She wanted to influence the Redwave Group Director to reject Emma by destroying her reputation, so that “poor girl” would realize her mistake for daring to go against someone as “respectable” as Elena.“Relax, honey. I’m sure Mr. Philanthropy is testing us right now. You know the collaboration project I proposed is worth an enormous amount. He probably want

Victor and Elena grew even more tense. Especially after seeing the cold expression on Daisy’s face once she ended the call with Mr. Philanthropy. They had no idea what kind of fate awaited them next. Their heads hung low; neither of them dared to lift their gaze.Daisy clenched her fists.“Just a moment ago, you were even threatening me. So tell me, what’s weighing so heavily on your heads now that you don’t even dare to look at me?”Still keeping his head lowered, Victor said, “I am truly sorry, Madam. Y-you may ask me to do anything, as long as I’m still allowed to come here again in the future to submit another proposal.”“I refuse,” Daisy replied coldly.If it weren’t for Jack’s instructions, she would have slapped and thrown them out long ago. But she knew very well, what Jack wanted would strike them far harder. Not physically… but mentally.“But you’re lucky,” Daisy said after sitting down across from Victor and Elena.Both of them instinctively lifted their heads, staring at D

Jack didn’t stop Emma when she took the initiative to turn off his phone. He simply smiled as he listened to her ranting about Victor and Elena.Emma’s grumbling finally came to a halt when she received a message from the Head of HR, instructing her to pick up her uniform at the reception desk. Although she felt puzzled, remembering that earlier the receptionists had been wearing different outfits, Emma still invited Jack to head to the main lobby with her.When they arrived in front of one of the reception desks, Emma turned her head as a receptionist from another counter called out to her.“Miss Wexler!”The woman waved with a smile, carrying a floral-patterned paper bag.Emma smiled and tugged on Jack’s hand before approaching her.“Is that my uniform?”“Yes! This is all yours.”The senior receptionist glanced briefly at Jack before giving a small nod.Emma turned to Jack, then accepted the paper bag with a radiant smile.Just as she was in such a cheerful mood, Emma was shocked by
