3I would not have minded."Then, let's start working from today onward."I need to be conscious as I was someone who pulled strings to get this job. I could not slack off, and the work from the boss had to be done well.Gilbert's car was not luxurious. He was not a person who kept a high profile, and he did not like the feeling of being coveted by others. Rather than showing off, he pursued comfort even more. However, despite that, when I was in the passenger seat, I still had the fantasy of being just like Cinderella, who was sitting in a pumpkin carriage.The sensation of sitting on a leather seat was so good. Moreover, its curves perfectly matched the lines of a person's back. I could not help but admire the originality of the design.As expected, it was a car that I would not have been able to afford even if I had worked hard all my life. When I thought that my hard work would only result in my boss changing to a new car the next year, I immediately wanted to break the wheel

5If a company wanted to bid for a piece of land, it had to get in some officials' good graces. Gilbert especially spent a lot of money on obtaining a piece of jade to give to a certain someone's wife. I was also attending the banquet with him.I did not get close to Gilbert at the company. I wanted to avoid gossip. I also could not tolerate the attention of everyone else in the company. There was also a lot of discussion in the office about we were not compatible with each other, which likely came from contempt.Only Xenia knew something since Gilbert did request a favor from her. Therefore, she would occasionally look at me with a meaningful gaze. However, she was sly. Most of the time, Xenia would give me an extra slice of cake or snacks, and defend me subtly. Then, she would hint at me to tell Gilbert good things about her through her expression.Meanwhile, Yvonne seemed to be absorbed in her work, so she merely nodded when she saw me. Occasionally, she would talk to Gilbert ab

6I could not remember how many years it had been since I last had a break to relax. Throughout the years of being Joaquin's personal secretary, I worked overtime during every holiday. I was even on standby during long holiday weekends.Since a few months ago, I had been asking Joaquin to give me a few days off and let me have a good rest. He had never approved my leave. Now, he finally had a conscience.It seemed that it was worth sleeping with him.It was good timing for a rest. I did not know how to face him after what had happened. I could use the leave to think about things.The first thing I wanted to do during my leave was to lie down and sleep at home.Since I suffered so much last night, the first thing I did after reaching home and delegating my work was mute my phone, lie on the bed, and fall asleep.After falling asleep, I had a dream. In the dream, I was in a dreamy church. There was a man kneeling in front of me, proposing to me, but I could not see his face clearl

15I quickly helped him match the clothes to be worn for the next week according to his weekly schedule. Then, I called to order breakfast for him and left his house before the sound of water stopped."Mr. Salvatore, I've matched your clothes and watches for a week. They are all in the first wardrobe, from left to right. I ordered takeout for you for breakfast, which are the spaghetti and sandwiches you often eat. I also made coffee for you. I handed over my work to Yuri and bought today's ticket to return to my hometown. See you in a week."I lied to Joaquin, so I wouldn't wait for him to catch me at home. After changing my clothes, I drove to Xaviera's house right away.At that time, Xaviera was probably still asleep. Fortunately, I had her door lock password. I opened the door and went in directly to give her a surprise.However, as I walked into her bedroom and lifted the quilt, I found two people lying on the bed."Ah!"The loud and sharp scream hurt my eardrums.I wanted

23After our Maldives trip, we then went to Thailand.During the two days in Thailand, I tried to keep my distance from Joaquin as much as possible. However, he could not feel my alienation at all.At a restaurant in Thailand, when the waiter saw us walking in together, he immediately took us to the couple's seat.The waiter even took out a spinning wheel and said, "We have a special promotion activity for these few days. Couples who come to the restaurant have a chance to win a free meal. You two may give it a try.""We..." I was about to clarify that we were not a couple, but Joaquin responded, "Okay, we'll try."Hearing that, I was rendered speechless. Even if he wanted to do that, he should not be too engrossed in acting. Did Joaquin not feel sorry for his baby who was waiting for him abroad?Before I could refuse, Joaquin had already spun the spinner.A few seconds later, the indicator on the spinner stopped at [Enjoy an 80% discount when two people share an ice cream.]"
