Jon said, "Professor Killiney."Professor Killiney nodded and said, "I had to rush my trip to Johnsonville, so I haven't had time to prepare any lessons. I will let you know later about the specific class times and locations.""Understood, Professor," Penelope responded.Karl, clearly tired and known for taking afternoon naps, suggested, "Now that you have your students, shouldn't we head back to the hotel?"Killiney, eager to discuss the models with Jon, noticed Karl's fatigue and decided not to pursue the idea. Instead, he asked for Penelope's contact information.Despite his seemingly distant demeanor, Professor Killiney was actually very approachable. His actions impressed me, and my opinion of him soared.Penelope had been busy the past couple of days and hadn't contacted Jon. Because he was very attached to her, she stayed behind to keep him company after seeing us out.Luke and I accompanied Karl and Professor Killiney to their hotel.Concerned that Karl might get lost d

Despite their quick reaction, I still managed to catch snippets of their conversation.JL Capital had a great work atmosphere with a high level of tolerance.Since I joined, other companies in Greenfield Tower had been abuzz with rumors about Luke and me. However, JL Capital seemed immune to the gossip, as if my role as Luke's assistant was completely natural.Once, while leaving work with Sarah from reception, we overheard two young women discussing Luke and me.Sarah coughed loudly and said, "Mr. Walker is not like some CEOs who take advantage of female employees! These gossips from that incompetent company are just as dirty-minded as their boss!"Though she didn't mention names, the two women, realizing they were in the wrong, quickly left without defending themselves.Sarah comforted me, saying, "Don't take their words to heart. Mr. Walker is always professional and has no interest in office romance. Your appointment as his assistant is a testament to your exceptional abiliti

"Your morals are already questionable without my help to smear your reputation,” I retorted. Joey was mean. "If you need a PR firm, Ms. Parker, I can recommend one.""You and Wendy are cut from the same cloth. Do you think I would fall for your trick?" Joey's voice was furious. "Ms. Middleton, you constantly target me because you like Luke, don't you? Have you looked in the mirror? You're not worthy! A divorced woman who has slept with some nameless man shouldn't be coveting what doesn't belong to her!"Joey's words made me want to slap her. I lowered the car window for some air, gripped my phone tightly, and replied slowly, "Regardless of whether I am worthy of him or not, as his assistant, I am the woman who spends the most time by his side.""You..."I quickly hung up before Joey could finish.Imagining Joey on the other end, ready to throw her phone in anger, I couldn't help but smile.Just as I started the car to head home, I caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing outsid

"Perhaps he has never been triggered before. If this kind of situation is not promptly addressed, his condition could significantly worsen.""Should we find a specialist?" I asked, feeling worried and disappointed that this was happening just after we had found Jon a suitable mentor."Are you questioning my expertise?" Dr. Thomson challenged."Are you a specialist in this field, Dr. Thomson?""Specialist? You are underestimating me! I am a medical all-rounder genius!"Dr. Thomson spoke with his chest puffed out, exuding confidence in his abilities.My mood lifted, seeing a glimmer of hope. "With Dr. Thomson here, I am sure Jon's condition will improve quickly!""Now that is what I like to hear!" Eric grinned. "But it depends on the specific situation. I cannot guarantee a cure."Me: ...His earlier expression suggested that no medical mystery could stump him, but in the blink of an eye, he was dampening my expectations!The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. My

Luke and Professor Killiney had something to discuss, so they went to the garden.As we cleaned up, Dr. Thomson was crouched on the floor, examining scattered pills.Were those pills problematic?Dr. Thomson looked intently at them. My gaze shifted from the white pills in his hand to Annette. Memories of my stillborn child flooded my mind, and my hand involuntarily clenched."Jen! What are you thinking? Let go!" Penelope grabbed my wrist, frantically trying to pry open my hand. A sharp pain from my palm snapped me back to reality.I looked down at my now open hand. Blood was trickling out."You're bleeding!" Penelope got up to fetch some tissues.Dr. Thomson found the pill bottle that had rolled away, collected the scattered pills, and put them back in. He picked up his medical bag, saying, "Mr. Walker only asked me to treat Jon, but I guess I'm getting a two-for-one deal here.""Is Jen's injury serious?" Penelope tried to get a closer look, but Dr. Thomson shifted, blocking he
