Patrick had just left, and the hospital room door was once again jammed open, and this time the person who entered was her mother. She looked at her daughter quietly, deeply disappointed. "My stupid daughter, how can you be so clumsy..." Mrs. Smith also doesn't know how to do more than lament such a unclear sentence. She remembered a day more than two months ago, just before Patrick's return home, her daughter spent the night outside. It was the only time her daughter did not sleep at home. Without thinking, something so big could happen that night. The appearance of her mother, a unclear lament, and her sad look made Flora burst into tears. She regretted, panic, she is scared, and don't know where to go, what to do. It all turned out like this, something she never thought of. "Mom..." Mrs. Smith's eyes were full of water, still stubbornly refused to wipe them in front of her daughter but turned back, wiping tears from her sleeve before she could even fall out of the eye soc
Seven years had passed in the blink of an eye. In a small house located in a narrow alley of the city, a little girl was clinging onto Flora's legs, refusing to let go while sobbing and begging: "Mom, take me with you... I want to come with you..." Flora had a vision that her daughter would cry and cling onto her for fifteen more minutes before she could finally leave. If she hadn't left, she wouldn't have made it. Looking at her daughter's round eyes filled with tears, Flora was at a loss for what to do. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching from the staircase. A young boy appeared, around the same height as the little girl, yawning and stretching. Flora see like pleading with her son for help with her eyes as she frowned "Paul, let go of your mom. She needed to find a job. You won't get cake to eat if she doesn't have a job," a young boy said. Did she really need to tell him that she needed to find a job urgently? She had lost her previous job and income, and n
Flora held her breath, intending to take the chance to sneak into the room without disturbing her son, ignoring his detailed questions. As if telepathically, as soon as she moved her feet, the boy frowned. "Where are you going? I just heard you say SEI Corporation recruited you. That corporation has almost taken over the movie, television, tourism, and advertising markets…." He looked her up and down, and then bottom to top: "Why would they hire you?" Flora frowned again, unable to control her emotions, but then pinch her son's ear: "Why don't you trust me at all? I'm your mother! Six years ago, you came out of my belly, and for six years, you've been nagging me." Her son had never overpowered before his mother, struggling desperately, wanting to escape her evil hands. She pretended to be angry, pinched her son's ear a little, and went downstairs. How could she hurt her child? At that moment, her mother, the grandmother of the two children, heard the noise downstairs and came down.
Arriving in front of the interview room, she took a deep breath before knocking cautiously. From inside, a female voice responded: "Come on in." The candidate's resume was on the table, and the direct interviewer, a woman in her forties, was very distinctive. But the candidate dared not mention that the interviewer was the general director's fiancée, her imagination was too far-fetched. Flora tried to maintain a professional smile, but it seemed a bit silly given the attire she wore that day. The interviewer pulled down her glasses, frowned, and looked at the candidate in a manner similar to a teacher looking at a student. She hesitated before setting her pen aside and asked: "Your appearance..." Without saying it directly, she glanced down at the candidate's appearance, making an "x" sign with her fingers. Flora responded, "Yes, my appearance may not be as attractive as some people, but please believe that my abilities are excellent. I graduated from a prestigious university with
"This is my house. Wait a moment for me to open the door, and when the door opens, you can see those two little devils."The key rattled in the lock. The little girl was bored, swinging her legs on the sofa. When she heard the sound of the lock opening, she looked out. When she confirmed that the person opening the door was her mother, she ran over joyfully and hugged her mother's leg: "Oh, Mommy's home!"Turning around, she shouted: "Charlie, Mom's home!"From upstairs, a boy slowly descended the stairs with his hand in his pocket and yawned as he walked. He saw the person behind his mother, bowed politely, and said hello."Hi, Auntie."Flora happily tousled the little boy's hair, at that moment, the little girl noticed the person standing right behind her mother, with sparkling eyes and a hesitant voice, she greeted: "Hello, Auntie."But the adult standing behind the child's mother stared intently at the little boy and couldn't take his eyes off him: "Your son... looks just like our
Matthew stood up from his chair, walked around the desk, and grabbed a stack of documents, placing them in front of Flora. She hesitantly reached out to take them, hugging them to her chest.Then, he stepped closer, and she stepped back until she was backed up against the wall.“Are you done talking?”Flora’s face turned red.Even though she didn’t have any unusual thoughts, being pressed by such a handsome face, looking at her intently, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Her normal voice suddenly became stuttering.“No... no... I’m done...”Matthew chuckled softly and leaned close to Flora’s ear, his voice low as if teasing her: “What do you mean by ‘done’?”It’s a pity that with such an exciting personality, if only she were a bit more beautiful.Suddenly pressed, Flora trembled slightly, unable to say a complete sentence. She heard his deep voice ringing in her ear again.“A CEO like me still needs a probationary secretary to teach me how to be a CEO? Your thinking is quite int
Selena absentmindedly looked at the file in her hand, noticed Flora’s worried face, and asked: “What’s wrong? Didn’t the partner cancel the contract for this project?”This project was the one that Selena knew about. A thought flashed through Flora’s mind.She sighed and lowered her head, “Maybe because I prevented those people, the CEO was unhappy. He scolded me yesterday and told me to finish this project today... If I can’t finish it, I might have to pack up and leave.”Selena’s face immediately changed.It is tough to have a powerful ally beside one’s fiancé. How could she let her go for such a silly reason? She furrowed her brows and rubbed her chin, “Let me talk to him." she said.Flora was thrilled in her heart and quickly bowed her head in gratitude, afraid that she would change her mind.After saying goodbye to Selena, she pressed the elevator button to the top floor, walking lightly on her feet. What if the CEO orders otherwise? She has the support of the future wife of the C
Matthew flicked the cigarette butt from his hand and let out a sigh. He didn't enjoy the party atmosphere and was surprised he still felt bothered even though he had left. A woman's trembling voice echoed a wall away, "Don't... don't come any closer... I'll scream!" He was followed by raucous laughter. The man was probably drunk and not afraid of being caught. "Try screaming, and I'll tell everyone you seduced me. Let's see whom they'll believe... Don't resist. Just serve me obediently." Matthew wasn't one to get involved in other people's business, but these two were disturbing his peace. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he pretended to cough. "Ahem..." The footsteps grew closer. The man had no choice but to let go, and his lecherous gaze still lingered on Flora's smooth skin. He licked his lips and waited for the man to pass by so he could resume his "good time." To his surprise, the person who appeared around the corner was the CEO of S.E.I. "Flora, what are you doing he
