Currently, Xavier was having a tantrum in his office, angrily throwing the planning proposal he held directly at the person standing in front of him. "Useless, all of you are useless. Are you all brainless without Miss Kathy?!"
Mr. Eugene, one of the employees, didn't dare utter a word despite being hit and in pain. Over the past two days, Xavier had been like a time bomb, displeasing anyone who approached him. He had no choice but to take on this responsibility since it was Miss Kathy who had originally handled it, and now that she was absent, he had to step up.Xavier's anger further intensified when he noticed Eugene's silence. "The plan needs to be redone, right now, immediately. If you can't do it, then leave and go home.""Yes, Mr. Xavier." Mr. Eugene swiftly picked up the planning proposal from the floor and hurriedly left the room. Just two days had passed, yet the entire company was already in a state of chaos. Xavier glanced at his phone once again, but there was still no call or message from Kathy. His brow furrowed slightly. In the past, Kathy wouldn't have been able to resist for even a day before returning to him, begging for forgiveness. However, it had already been two days.The old Kathy used to be sensible and considerate, never doing anything to make his life difficult. However, this time, she had taken away other key members of the company, which only intensified Xavier's disgust towards her. He despised women who lacked sensibility, especially those who jeopardized his future."Xavier, look what I have for you," came the sweet voice of Alexia at that moment. Playful and pretty, she peeked her head in from behind the door.Xavier's expression softened a little. Women should be charming and considerate like Alexia. Kathy's excessive jealousy had inevitably become irritating. "Alexia." "Xavier, look, I've prepared some food for you. I noticed you've lost weight these past few days, and it breaks my heart," Alexia said, entering the room with a thermos and a caring expression on her face.Xavier took hold of Alexia's hand and noticed several small red marks on it, caused by the heat. His brow furrowed slightly, and he asked with concern, "Cooking can be quite difficult sometimes. Please don't do it again if you don't want to."Blushing, Alexia smiled and leaned into Xavier's arms. "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help you, no matter how difficult it may be."Xavier was deeply moved, recalling how Alexia used to be like a delicate princess back in college, never getting her hands dirty with chores or cooking.Now, she was willing to risk burning her delicate hands for him.However, Xavier had forgotten that Alexia had been making him lunch for the past two years without ever receiving a word of praise from him.In other news, Kathy, the formidable assistant of Xavier’s company, had resigned. The news quickly spread, attracting the attention of the media who were always on the lookout for sensational stories. Xavier, a young and promising figure, was a favorite subject for the media to report on, and they couldn't afford to miss such a significant development.As Xavier's trusted right-hand man, Kathy's sudden resignation sparked immense curiosity within the industry. Many spectators were eager to uncover the truth behind her departure. Soon enough, various clues began to surface.On the front page of the newspaper, a photograph captured Xavier with his head slightly lowered, his gaze deep and gentle, while an unidentified woman stood on tiptoe, lifting her head slightly. They appeared to be in a moment of intimacy, resembling a kiss. Unfortunately, the woman's face was obscured by an intentional blur, leaving her identity unknown. However, her figure clearly indicated that she was not Kathy. In recent years, Xavier has garnered extensive media exposure and has been consistently praised as a young prodigy and a devoted partner, elevating his fame and drawing attention to Harvard Company. Xavier willingly utilizes his popularity to promote Harvard Company without any charge.The originator of the rumors regarding Kathy's meager monthly salary of just over a few thousand talents at Harvard Company remains unknown. Initially, many individuals were skeptical of such rumors. However, screenshots of Kathy's salary statement began circulating within industry circles, leaving many people astounded.According to the salary statement, Kathy's monthly earnings amounted to a mere twelve thousand talents, which falls below the average income level of ordinary individuals.Consequently, Xavier earned the unflattering moniker of the "unreliable figure", and Harvard Company became a firm that numerous young talents started to avoid. At Henderson Corp headquarters, Dominic instinctively grasped the newspaper and cast a sympathetic glance at Kathy. He affixed his signature to the latest proposal she had submitted and then spoke slowly, reassuring her, "Rest assured, our company offers excellent benefits. In addition to the base salary, there are additional commissions and bonuses available.""Thank you, Mr. CEO," Kathy responded, her smile faint. It appeared that the media had been quite helpful this time, and she felt content with the coverage.Dominic paused for a moment, then added, "Put in the effort, and as long as you perform well, the company's benefits will continue to grow." While he didn't consider himself exceedingly generous, he made sure not to mistreat his employees like Xavier did. Clearly, in Dominic's eyes, Kathy was simply naive. Kathy's lips curved into a smile. While she didn't seek sympathy, she certainly desired the benefits she deserved. "I appreciate your generosity, Mr. CEO," she expressed sincerely.Dominic's gaze grew even more disdainful. It was just ordinary benefits that any company offered, yet it seemed to bring her such delight. Who knew what kind of deception Kathy had fallen victim to in the past?Kathy picked up the document, already bearing Dominic's signature, and exited the room, feeling content."Kathy!"As soon as Kathy stepped outside, she was met with a furious Xavier. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked icily;"What's the matter?"Xavier was momentarily taken aback. This was the first time Kathy had spoken to him in such a cold tone, and he couldn't immediately react.Then it dawned on him. She must be playing hard to get. Even if Kathy were to kneel and beg for his forgiveness, he would never grant it. "Are you out of your mind? Do you even realize what you're doing?"Kathy let out a sarcastic chuckle, her lips curling upwards. "Mr. Xavier, I could ask you the same question. Are you out of your mind? Coming to Henderson to cause trouble." Xavier's anger was so intense that he clenched his teeth. However, considering the current state of the company, he took a deep breath, attempting to control his temper."Alexia and I aren't what you think. It was your jealousy that caused you to push her down the stairs. Isn't it your fault? Come back with me and apologize to her this instant. I won't pursue this matter any further," Xavier stated, trying to reason with Kathy.Suddenly, she felt as though she had been blind in her previous life. Why hadn't she seen his selfish nature before? "What if I refuse?" she retorted.Xavier's face turned pale with anger. He seemed ready to lunge forward and strike someone at any second.Just then, Dominic, who coincidentally emerged from the doorway, witnessed the scene and quickly moved to the scene. "Are you alright?" he inquired, concerned. Kathy had a hint of surprise, but upon seeing Dominic's genuine concern, she nodded earnestly."I'm alright," she reassured him.Xavier observed their interaction, his eyes welling up with anger. "You bitch! You've been having an affair with him, haven't you?!" He pointed an accusing finger at Dominic, his entire body trembling with fury as a profound sense of betrayal surged within him.Kathy arched an eyebrow, a subtle curve forming on her crimson lips. Stepping forward, she ignored him and took hold of Dominic's arm, leaning against his broad shoulder and seeking solace on him.Xavier lifted his hand, ready to strike her, but Dominic was quicker. He immediately shielded Kathy and delivered a powerful blow to Xavier's face. He staggered, unable to maintain his balance, and ended up falling to the ground, looking utterly embarrassed. "You cannot behave recklessly within these premises," Dominic asserted. Once considering Xavier a rival, he now realized the pettiness that resided within him.Upon witnessing the escalating situation, several security guards stationed at the entrance of Henderson corp swiftly rushed over. They guarded their CEO protectively and cast unfriendly glares in Xavier's direction.Xavier wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and directed a menacing gaze towards Kathy, who stood behind Dominic. "Kathy, just wait and see!" he threatened.Kathy responded to Xavier with a mocking smile. Xavier departed in embarrassment, and in that moment, nobody noticed the stranger on the street corner silently capturing continuous photographs.Kathy offered an apology to Dominic, her voice filled with remorse. "I'm sorry about all this." Dominic's brows furrowed as he spoke; "Our company's employees should not tolerate any form of bullying. I don't anticipate Xavier letting this go easily. Be cautious moving forward. If he dares to come to the company and cause trouble, just give me a call."Kathy smiled, her perception of Dominic undergoing a significant shift. She had never expected him to possess both a stern and caring side.In her previous life, Kathy had been subjected to Xavier's negative portrayal of Dominic, leading her to believe that Dominic was a shameless individual. They had always been at odds in the mall. Reflecting on it now, she realized how foolish she had been to wholeheartedly trust Xavier's words. If she hadn't paid a painful price later on, she wouldn't have had this enlightening realization."I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile. "Brother, why are there so many people downstairs? What are they doing? The snow is so dirty, and they're just throwing it
"Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th
"Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel
Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!" Kathy exclaimed, her eyes misty and watery, pitifully looking at Dominic, "Why did you bite me! It hurts!"Hearing the words that made him want to indulg
Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w
Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it. Yes, although their family was not outstanding, they had such an outstanding daughter! As long as their daughter was excellent enough to not fear any challenges, then being in a relationship with Dominic didn't seem like such a difficult thing to accept.Although Thompson and Esme still had worries on their faces, their masks were no longer as indestructible as before. "Kathy, won't this be too hard for you?" Esme felt sorry for her daughter.Extraordinary Kathy was born into such an ordinary
