Due to the power outage, the bedroom was engulfed in darkness except for the area around the sofa. She could hear her own breathing, and it all felt unnaturally quiet to Jenna.She became even more nervous as she cleaned the man's wound.To ease the tension and break the silence, Jenna spoke up. "Thank you, Quinn. I owe you one."Quinn understood why she apologized. In the dim light, his deep gaze grew heavy.After a moment of silence, Quinn said, "Since we're married, it's my duty to protect you. There's no need for you to owe me any favors. If you had been injured that night, it would have been due to my failure as a husband."Jenna understood the dynamics between them, but upon hearing his last sentence, her heart uncontrollably skipped a beat.Quinn always gave her a sense of being protected, even if it was unspoken...Jenna murmured a vague response and focused on bandaging his wound.As she wrapped the bandage around his chest, she saw a cornflower the size of a coin loca

It was recruitment season at Elysian Group, and being a large company, almost everyone who received an interview notification showed up.When Jenna arrived at the interview floor, she found the corridor crowded with people.Seeing this lively scene, Jenna could not help but sigh. She went to register and collected her number card, intending to sit in a corner and wait. Unexpectedly, she accidentally bumped into someone while walking.A woman had bumped into Jenna as she was not looking where she was going and dropped her phone. Out of goodwill, Jenna helped to pick it up."Thank you..." The woman took the phone and thanked Jenna. However, as soon as she saw Jenna clearly, her expression changed abruptly. "Jenna?"Jenna found the young woman somewhat familiar but could not seem to recall who she was at that moment. She simply nodded slightly and tried to walk past her.However, the woman swiftly blocked her path, mocking coldly, "Hilarious! You were useless even in your own compan

"You've gone too far!" Isabella exclaimed angrily."I'm just speaking the truth. How is it too far? If you don't like it, don't listen!" Kevin retorted irritably.He reached out his long arm and picked up a plate of codfish from the table for Isabella, affectionately advising, "Have some fish. It's good for the brain. I'll treat you to this codfish, so don't be polite!"After getting his meal, Kevin left gracefully.Isabella looked at the codfish on the plate as if it was mocking her. She wished she could smash the plate.Due to Kevin's argument with Isabella, many people in the restaurant recognized Jenna and started whispering. However, Jenna automatically ignored their gazes.Jenna said, "I'm going to the hospital to donate blood this afternoon, so I can't eat lobster at night. But I can treat you."She felt quite pleased watching Kevin scold Isabella."Donating love?""Let's call it that." Jenna thought about how Kevin had been protecting her and did not hide it. "My blood

"What's wrong with not daring to bet? Is it illegal?" Kevin huffed."This bet was initiated by Jenna," Isabella crossed her arms and retorted, looking coldly at Jenna, who had not spoken. "I just made a slight modification to the rules. If she disagrees, then the bet earlier was clearly a setup against me!""Hey, you..." Kevin furrowed his brow in anger, his hot temper flaring up again.He was about to yell at Isabella when Jenna suddenly spoke up, "Your modification isn’t bad. It's fair to both of us. However, I think it’s not exciting enough. How about this? The loser not only has to wear a bikini and dance at the cafe but also record it and post it on their Instagram for a week.""Fine, it's settled!" Isabella, seeing Jenna willingly jumping into the trap, felt like she was about to burst out laughing.She did not have confidence in getting first place, so she modified the rules to deceive Jenna.She did not expect Jenna to fall for it so easily!She knew Jenna's written test

After the twenty-minute oral interpretation session, the examiners quickly graded the candidates.Miss Brown walked with Jenna toward the conference room’s exit and complimented her. "Jenna, your interpretation skills are excellent! The overall results will be announced tomorrow morning. Even if your other scores aren’t satisfactory, based on today's exam alone, I can find a way to get you into Elysian."Miss Brown was not the invigilator for Jenna’s written test, but during lunch, she overheard other candidates saying that Jenna finished her paper quickly as if she did not know how to answer.Even if Jenna's overall score was not good enough, Miss Brown still had to find a way to get her into the Translation Department.After all, Jenna was Sam's future sister-in-law…Miss Brown's calculations and intentions were unknown to Jenna, who thought Miss Brown was misled by public opinion and believed she did not perform well on the written test, hence the comforting words.Thinking ab
