Slate Industries was just outbid in a project tender by just ten grand, and not even the cleaners would believe there was not a mole.However, no one could tell who it was—the company's auditors had not the faintest clue.Either way, the outcome points to one cause: Whoever the mole was, they were high in rank.Otherwise, they would not have access to the company's sensitive files, down to the bid amount.A man strode into the meeting room amid the tense atmosphere."Mr. Slate, the board's threatening to sell their shares," Ken Dawson told Zachary, whispering into the latter's ear.Ken was dressed casually and sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the other sharply dressed professionals in the room. It certainly reflected his easy-going nature, but he was assuredly on Zachary's side.And to Zachary, things just got worse—if those shareholders really sold their shares, their share prices would dip.They already lost a project, and if their stock market performance were affe

Lulu then added, "Also, I'm being paid very generously—there's no need to pay me more."She would not take more money from Zachary, not to mention that she was not short on money.In fact, being allowed to work here for Zachary was something money could not buy.Moreover, she could spend a month with Star in Zachary's absence.Zachary nodded, "Thank you very much."Lulu rose to her feet and nodded as well. "It's nothing—it's my job. I'll be carrying my phone constantly, and I'll go bring my effects over if there's nothing else now."Zachary nodded, reclining against the couch once Lulu left, since it was one concern resolved.Lulu took some medicine and went to bed after reaching home—she was still too weak to stay up for too long.She was feeling muddled when she remembered that she should watch some videos online for a weaning diet, and she was getting up just as her phone rang."Irene?" she answered—it was around noon in Franconia. -Irene was sitting at a cafe with her

Sue fought back her tears and told her son to stay, and call her if anything came up.When she arrived, Lulu gave her a large black bag. "I'm lending you this money. There's fifty grand there to pay for whatever you need right now."Lulu then took out an IOU and a pen, passing both to Sue.She signed it without hesitation—she would never let her husband die under her watch."Don't worry," she told Lulu. "I'll definitely find a way to repay you."Lulu clapped an assuring hand on her shoulder—everyone would always have a time of need.She could also tell that Sue had her own principles and therefore drafted the IOU earlier so that Sue would accept the loan."Go. I'll talk to Mr. Slate about your situation," she said with a smile.Overwhelmed, Sue gave Lulu a hug before hurrying away.After she left, Lulu withdrew $400,000 from the card Zachary gave her before.Zachary was just resting his eyes when he got a text notification and was soon frowning.Was Lulu or Star in trouble?

Lulu was the only one in the house, and no one else would do it if not her."I'm fine. It's not that tiring," she assured Zachary.Zachary scowled. "Sue will need another week to return. I'll have Vivian come by to help then." Vivian Crowe?Lulu was upset, but she could not say anything since Zachary had already made up his mind. "If that's what you have in mind, Mr. Slate."-After playing with Star for a while, Zachary began to pack up for the long stay at Goldpool.When he arrived downstairs, he found Lulu making vegetable juice for Star. The baby was nearby, sitting on her highchair and sucking on her thumb as her big eyes darted between them. As he walked up to Lulu, he asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" "You can help me wash those vegetables, Mr. Slate," Lulu replied, since the man was free anyway.It was the last night he will be seeing Star in a while, and the baby would definitely miss him for the month…"Okay," Zachary said, rolling up his sleeves to

Lulu lowered her head, brushing against Zachary when she entered, while her handbag caught a corner of the towel.While Zachary was left speechless, Lulu turned and saw."I, uh…" Zachary quickly wrapped the towel around himself again as he explained, "Your handbag caught my towel. So…"Lulu ran off frantically, grabbed her phone before running out of Zachary's mansion without opening her eyes.In Zachary's perspective, she was fleeing. "It's not like I'm naked…" he muttered, although he was blushing up to his ear.-On the other hand, Lulu kept running for a long while before stopping. "Oh, I slipped up… Well, at least he won't be there tomorrow."It was no big deal, but she just found the situation and the vibes strange.As she calmed down, she wondered if she had overreacted.She was a babysitter, and he was her employer…She turned on her laptop and saw an email invitation to a Franconian nutritional association forum to exchange childcare experiences.She always read
