One Point Short of Love Chapter 10
On the day the Adian division was officially established, I led the very first round of hiring interviews.After a young man finished his translation test, he looked at me nervously and asked, "Mr. Wilson, what's my score?"I closed my notebook. "Why does there have to be a score?""I'm just afraid I wasn't good enough.""You conveyed the original meaning completely, and you handled the unexpected challenges well. If there's room to improve, just practice more when you get home."He still seemed a bit uneasy. "So... am I hired?"I handed him his employee badge. "Welcome aboard."The young man froze for a few seconds, then let out a bright smile as he took it.Nora stood by the doorway, holding two bags of breakfast. "Mr. Wilson, the interviewer himself didn't eat breakfast today. Assessment failed.""How many points were deducted?""Zero." She pressed a warm cup of tea into my hands. "Just remember next time."I smiled and took a bite of toast.Life didn't stop because I le

The emergency meeting at Nexura Group lasted six hours. When Hallie finally walked out of the conference room, she was no longer the CEO.The Board of Directors concluded that her long-term abuse of power and rampant nepotism had caused severe financial losses across multiple projects. On top of that, the confidential company data leaked by Miles had exposed the firm to massive third-party compensation claims.Her mother slammed the resignation letter directly in front of her face. "You wrecked the entire company over a man. Are you satisfied now?"Hallie picked up the resignation letter. "It's my fault."That evening, she came to find me to sign the final equity restructuring agreement.I scanned through the clauses. "You're giving up ten percent of your personal shares?""It's to compensate the international team members who were fired.""And the board agreed to this?""They had no reason to refuse."I signed my name and passed the document back to her. Yet Hallie made no mo

The news of Miles' suspension quickly spread like wildfire throughout Nexura Group.Right in the middle of the press conference, he suddenly burst through the doors."Every single email was sent by Scott himself!"He held up a thick stack of printed papers. "He was planning to leave Ms. Shaw all along, so he deliberately shifted the blame onto me!"A reporter thrust a microphone right into my face. "Mr. Wilson, what evidence do you have?"I switched on the projector."The login IP address for the very first email traces back directly to Nexura Group's executive office."The backend log location flashed onto the screen.Miles' posture went rigid. "Anyone could walk into that office!""Which is precisely why I filed for handwriting and digital signature forensic verification."I flipped to the next slide."The signature attached to the bottom of the email uses a custom digital signature key. That specific key was only generated and installed during Miles' third month at the co

Six months later, I wrapped up an international negotiation in Alderney.Nora Damson handed me a thermos. "The doctor told you to cut back on coffee.""It was only one cup today.""You said the exact same thing last week."I took the thermos with a smile. "Since when did Ms. Damson start managing my drink choices?""It’s not managing, it’s reminding." She passed me the meeting minutes. "No one has the right to score your judgment, including me."I looked down at the documents in my hands.Even after returning to the workforce, I still subconsciously refined every single pause in my speech out of habit.After my very first meeting, I had asked Nora how I performed.All she said was, "Finishing it is your answer."Only then did I slowly realize that not everyone stands around waiting for me to make a mistake.My assistant, Dan, pushed the door open. "Mr. Wilson, the representatives from Nexura Group have arrived."I looked up to find Hallie standing outside the doorway, notic

Hallie tried to reach my phone for seven consecutive days, but never got through.On the eighth day, she finally managed to contact Professor Thomas."Where is he?"Professor Thomas asked back in a cold voice, "In what capacity are you looking for him?""I'm his wife.""The divorce settlement has already been delivered to you.""I haven't signed it.""That is your own business."Hallie suppressed her voice, trying to stay calm. "He just had major surgery and needs to be cared for. I want to bring him back.""And where were you when he needed care the most?"The line went completely dead.She stayed outside the Translation Institute for an entire day.In the past, whenever I worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, she would wait for me right here. Back then, whenever I ran out into the rain, she would open her umbrella and press a warm coffee into my hands.She used to say, “You come before everything else.”Now, holding that same rain-soaked umbrella, there

When Hallie got home, the first thing she noticed was the document sitting on the desk.Without turning on the lights, she walked straight over and flipped to the last page."At least he listened," she muttered.But as her eyes locked onto the title, her movement froze. It wasn't the authorization agreement, but a divorce settlement.Half of the study had been completely cleared out. My books, my clothes, my personal documents were all gone.Hallie pulled out her phone and dialed my number, but only received an automated operator response.Miles, who had followed her inside, spoke up softly. "Scott's probably just trying to scare you. If you go comfort him a little, everything will be fine.""He won't leave," Hallie said, sounding as if she were convincing herself. "He doesn't have a job or his own income. Where could he possibly go?"She pushed open the bedroom door and saw the small box sitting on the nightstand.The wedding ring lay right on top. Beneath it was the biopsy p
