Pierre burst out laughing once more. Today, Calla was being especially humorous, cute, and endearing—making him feel at ease. He was particularly touched by the underlying strength and resilience she showed. Even in the face of adversity, she remained unwavering.Pierre paused before suggesting, "Calla, have you considered changing jobs?""Changing jobs?" Calla frowned at him, not understanding what he meant.Pierre continued, "You've obtained your CPA certificate. With that, you can find a stable and promising job. Working at the travel agency doesn't suit you and is somewhat a waste of your talents.""How do you know I got my CPA certificate? Did Natasha tell you that too?" Calla asked, eyeing Pierre."You guessed it right," Pierre admitted, spreading his hands in defeat.Hearing this, Calla muttered, "Natasha is such a blabbermouth. She's trying to please you, her boss, by telling you everything.""You're well aware, so don't blame her too much. I can ask her anything, and sh

Calla thought Jill and Peggy would be satisfied after beating her up. She didn't expect them to file a complaint with the tourism bureau. Floyd's voice was full of disappointment. Calla understood the consequences of being ordered by the tourism bureau to suspend operations for rectification. The duration of a business closure can vary, but even a two-week shutdown can be a significant blow to a travel agency. This meant all tour guides and employees would be out of work during this period.Calla felt a pang of guilt, regretting not controlling her emotions that day. She had caused such a big problem for her boss and the travel agency. That said, it wasn't like she could have prevented what happened last night. She was backed into a corner. No matter what she did, Jill and Peggy were going to make her life miserable.The next moment, Calla asked Floyd, "Mr. Burrows, are the tourism bureau representatives still there? I'll explain the situation to them myself.""Alright." Floyd

"I will have my subordinates investigate this matter right away. If it turns out that these troublemakers are filing malicious complaints without basis, our bureau will protect the travel agency. We will pursue charges against them for their intentional disruption of public order." The speaker's tone was resolute."Thank you. I'll await your response," Pierre said before hanging up.Calla listened to Pierre's phone call with wide eyes. "Do you know the director of the Greendale Tourism Bureau well?"Pierre smiled. "I once represented his relative in court. I remember winning the lawsuit for them. He insisted on treating me to a meal, which I declined. I never thought that unclaimed favor would come in handy today.""Thank you. You've helped me again." Calla looked at Pierre with gratitude."It's too early to say what the outcome will be. Don't thank me too soon," Pierre replied modestly."Regardless of the outcome, I still need to thank you. You're a top-notch lawyer with an incr

Soon, Pierre parked his car in front of Calla's apartment building. Calla glanced out the window, then turned to Pierre. I don't know how to express my gratitude to you this time," she said with sincerity. "I've told you, you don't need to be so polite with me," Pierre said, looking straight at her.Calla nodded, then unbuckled her seat belt. "I'm leaving now. Bye."As Calla reached out to open the car door, Pierre quickly called out, "Calla!""Yes?" Calla turned back to him, puzzled.Pierre looked down and smiled. "Won't you invite me up for a drink?"Hearing this, Calla stared at him, quickly weighing her options. Pierre was making a pass at her, but she was only a divorcee. Besides, she had no interest in getting involved with any man again.As such, Calla smiled and politely declined. "Honestly, my place is quite a mess. It's really inconvenient for me to invite a man upstairs.""I see." Pierre nodded, seeming to understand.Right when Calla was ready to leave the car,

Pierre's words struck a chord with Calla. Although it was a modest space, she had devoted countless hours decorating it. Every nook and cranny was a reflection of her personality.Looking at the tidy home, Calla smiled and said, "Those who wander yearn for the warmth of a home. Alone in Greendale, I can only make my little space as cozy as possible. It helps me not miss home so much."She was putting on a brave face, but she was homesick being here alone. However, she didn't intend on returning to Riverford anytime soon. She had used the excuse of her company sending her for a year-long study program to convince her mother.With no family or friends here, Calla felt very lonely outside of work.Yet, the new environment meant she spent less time overthinking. This was a stark contrast to her days in Riverford.Gradually, she grew to like it here. Though not as bustling as Riverford, the air was fresh, the local snacks were tasty, and the rent was cheap.Pierre looked at Calla, the

"Why? Is it because I'm Mercer's cousin? That's not fair to me, and you know that." Pierre's countenance grew stern.Calla felt the onslaught of a headache coming. She had been so unlucky in love these past few years. It felt like every guy she met was nothing but trouble."I don't understand why you don't get it. Look, I'm not looking for anything right now. I don't have any feelings for you. Mr. Garland, if there's nothing urgent, I'm feeling quite worn out and would like some rest. Please see yourself out!" Calla suddenly regretted letting Pierre come in. Still, it was good to clear things up once and for all so that he'd give up.Calla's dismissal left Pierre rooted to the spot. It was a struggle to make himself move, but being the gentleman he was, he forced himself toward the door.Calla crossed her arms over her chest, not looking at him. She was hoping he would leave as soon as possible. She didn't want to be involved with any man anymore.When Pierre reached the door, h

A flicker of disappointment crossed Pierre's face. But ever the gentleman, he quickly composed himself. His gaze lingered on Calla with deep intensity. "I should be the one apologizing. I've disturbed you. I'll leave now." With that, he turned to open the door and then walked out. After hearing the door close, Calla turned her head to confirm that Pierre had indeed left. Feeling very tired, she sunk onto the couch.Pierre was a man with a sense of justice, kindness, and determination. Although sometimes a bit of a flirt, he was still a good man. Yet, they weren't destined to be together.A week later, Calla returned to work at the travel agency. As soon as Floyd saw her, he pulled her into the office with a broad smile. "Calla, have a seat," Floyd said, sitting at his desk and gesturing for Calla to sit down.Calla was surprised to see Floyd's exaggerated smile but sat down anyway. Although Floyd had always been nice to her, he had never worn such a fawning smile, making h

As time went on, even her closest colleagues began to shun Calla. Rumors circulated that she had influential connections. To avoid any potential complications, everyone started giving her the cold shoulder. Calla eventually felt isolated and distressed.After struggling for a few days, Calla decided to resign.When Calla placed her resignation letter on Floyd's desk, he was alarmed. Floyd quickly stood up, his concern evident. "Calla, is the treatment here not up to your standards? Your salary is already quite high. Look at Piper. She works so hard leading tours every day yet still doesn't earn as much as you do."Calla quickly raised her head to explain, "Mr. Burrows, it has nothing to do with how the travel agency treated me. It's something personal on my end.""Then, why are you leaving? We can't do without you here. Remember when your friend helped us out with the tourism bureau? "Things have been great ever since. All the other agencies are green with envy. If you leave,

Chapter 329

Therefore, Calla decided it was better to ignore everything. This way, nothing could affect Calla anymore.The watch in the package was a Longines, worth at least several thousand dollars. Pierre could afford better but probably feared she might refuse something too expensive. He bought a watch that was in the mid-range, not quite high-end but not cheap either.Calla eventually put away the watch with its packaging intact. Due to the rapid obsolescence of certain tech products, it was a good idea to upgrade phones from time to time. Since her old one broke, she decided to use this new one for now. Looking at the new phone in her hand, Calla hesitated. After some consideration, she put the phone in her pocket. Floyd's request could wait. His travel agency had been running for years without any issues, after all.A week later, Calla successfully resigned from the travel agency. She then began searching for a new job.With her CPA certification in hand, she set her sights on accou

Chapter 330

Calla left Miriam Accounting Firm and headed straight for the hospital. At the hospital, Calla realized how severe this flu outbreak was. The hospital was completely overwhelmed with patients. Calla frowned as she looked at the long line of people ahead of her. She figured it would take a couple of hours to get her prescription filled.Feeling exhausted and weak, she decided to go to a small clinic instead. She soon picked up some medicine and then went home to rest. After taking the medication, Calla drifted off into a hazy sleep.In the evening, she felt chills all over her body. At this point, she somehow managed to get up and pour herself a cup of hot water.Having eaten a few crackers and taken more medicine, Calla went back to sleep. This time, she slept until dawn and found herself too weak to even get up.…At 10:00 am the next morning, Avery knocked on Miriam's office door. "Come in," Miriam said, looking down at an accounting ledger on her desk.Avery entered ju
