With the manager unreachable, Luke had no choice but to try contacting the production team directly. “Don’t worry. As soon as I have any news, I’ll call you right away,” he assured me.“Thank you, Mr. Walker.”It was nearly eleven o’clock, and Wendy had work the next day. Not wanting to disturb her sleep, I hung up and lay back on the bed.“Jen, it’s been a while since we played a game together,” Wendy said, turning on her side and propping her head up with one hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Come on, play a couple of rounds with me. I recently met this amazing jungle player in the game who can totally carry us!”“Is he really that good this time?”"Top-notch!" She snagged my phone from the nightstand and pressed it into my hand. "I swear, we're gonna crush it this time!"Wendy is brilliant at work, but when it comes to gaming, she’s an enthusiastic amateur. She's that player who's terrible but loves it, charging in without a thought and getting reported for feeding

Wendy’s voice was low, filled with sadness. I listened intently.“He’d mentioned before that he had a younger sister, two years younger. So, when I saw him with that girl, I thought he was bringing his sister to school to meet me. I was about to greet them, but then he walked right past me with her. I was so stunned that I thought I was dreaming.”“When I came to my senses, he was introducing her to our classmates as his fiancée. She smiled and greeted everyone. A lot of people looked over at me. I felt like a fool, like some kind of joke. I couldn't see any sympathy in their eyes; I felt like they were all laughing at me. I couldn't take it and ran away like a coward.""That wasn't like me at all. Maybe I was afraid I'd break down crying if I confronted him. I was scared of losing my composure, of attacking him like a madwoman, demanding an explanation.""I thought even a breakup should have some dignity. After I left, I spent the night by the river. When I returned to school, I l

"Jethro is the company's cash cow. After announcing his relationship, his popularity took a hit. Online, there are occasional smear campaigns against him that have somewhat affected his reputation. The company isn't happy about him dating at the peak of his career, as it's impacting his work. They've tried to convince him to break up several times, but he's unmoved."Wendy, having slept late last night, rubbed her slightly aching brow. She had cried the night before, and her eyes were a bit puffy. When I looked at her, she turned slightly, avoiding my gaze. "Penelope's scandal plays right into the company's hands. They can use this opportunity to make Jethro give her up.""The dating show has already invested a lot up front. If Penelope's situation isn't handled properly and viewers boycott the show because of her, all that initial investment will go down the drain."The dating show wasn't set up by Jethro's agency, so they won't foot the bill for the agency's decisions."The s

"We were at a loss with her. People comforted us, saying that when she got a bit older, she'd understand our good intentions. We waited year after year, but she’d rather drift around in unfamiliar places than come home. However, she deeply misunderstood us, always quitting and leaving before we could find her. To us, she was still a child. Even if she didn't want to see us, we still cared about and missed her deeply. That’s why we brought her brother to Johnsonville, hoping to rekindle some sibling affection. If we’d known this trip would end like this… that it would…”At this point, my uncle broke down sobbing, "My son! Dad is so sorry! I shouldn't have asked you to come with us to Johnsonville to see your sister!""Mr. Middleton, excessive grief can harm your health," the volunteer quickly tried to comfort my uncle.My cousin was my uncle's pride and joy. With his heart torn out, he was inconsolable, wailing with his mouth wide open.The on-duty nurse heard the commotion and hurr

"The Smith family has a huge business with many employees. Get her to arrange a job for me!" Uncle's calculating expression didn't look at all like someone who had just lost his son and was heartbroken.I frowned and stood there silently."Jen, I'm your uncle. We're family. Family should help each other. Getting me a job introduction shouldn't be too hard for you.""Aunt Karen is still in the ICU. You should be by her side, encouraging her.""Isn't there something called a sinecure?" Uncle couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Just have my name on the company books, I don't have to show up, but still get paid."Me: ..."If you're too embarrassed to ask, I can talk to her for you.""..." How could I be related by blood to someone so shameless? What bad luck!"Even if the Smith family is wealthy, they can't afford to support a parasite like you."There was no need to be polite anymore after such an outrageous request.Uncle's face fell. "I'm your elder. How dare you speak to me
