“Well, I'm going to appoint Aileen as the company's marketing manager here. I will contact her immediately and ask her to come to this city immediately. But I'm going to wait to appoint her as a permanent employee. I will appoint her as a marketing manager with an internship status. I'll see how he performs over the next month and then decide how to proceed with her career here.” Mr Howard said.Mark held back a smile as he nodded his head. His father's agreement to appoint Aileen as marketing manager in NYC was enough to make him jump for joy, but Mark did not want to express himself so much.“All right, let's eat first," Howard said as he began to eat the food the restaurant staff had placed on their table.Father and son ate together silently, neither saying a word until the food was on their plates. Howard finished his meal first, and the older man immediately drank a glass of water and dragon fruit juice.Then Mr Howard tidied up the clothes he had worn when he got up.“I can't b

The first day of work is often stressful, which is the case for Aileen right now. She trembled slightly as she walked into the company center.Everyone immediately looked at her. Some smiled, but others looked more cynical. It was not uncommon for some of them to openly whisper to their friends.It was like coming to work on the first day; some were welcomed well, and some were not. But it didn't matter. They weren't the ones paying Aileen's salary anyway.Not knowing where her room was, Aileen asked an employee whose uniform had the name Leslie on it for help. Aileen said, "Sorry to bother you, can you show me to the marketing manager's room?"Leslie gasped as a stranger in the company greeted her. But since it had already been announced that someone would replace that position in the company, Leslie understood immediately and nodded."Well, let me show you. You must be Ms Stewart, right? I've heard that you will be filling the vacant position in this company."Leslie's friendly gree

"Are you okay? I'm sorry."The girl stood up and brushed the dirt from her short skirt.Mark shook his head. He also stood up, but his eyes were still on the girl. Who was she? Mark was sure that he had seen her before."Lisa!" A well-dressed boy approached them. Mark now understood that this girl was not an orphan. She had been here with her family last week. And the boy seemed to be her brother."This is Lucas.""What's wrong with you?" he asked the messy little girl.The girl named Lisa shook her head. "It's okay, I accidentally fell and hit him."Lucas looked at Mark, who was silent. "I'm sorry about my sister." He was indeed the type of brother who was charismatic and authoritative. He looked sweet and swooning over the girl.Mark pushed something towards them. Lisa's hairpin got caught in Mark's shirt when they collided.The girl smiled happily. "I'm Lisa. What's your name?" She offered her hand— a tiny white hand."Mark.""I'm Lucas."Mark knew then that Lisa and Lucas were the

A beautiful girl in a knee-length white dress sat in the corner of the room. Her gaze was blank. Occasionally, she wiped the clear water that slowly trickled down her cheeks. It had been almost an hour since she had locked herself in there, not letting anyone in, not even her brother Lucas.Lisa had a beautiful and graceful face, a mixture of American and Franciscan. She had milky white skin with thin, delicate lips like her mother's. Unfortunately, this was not her nature. Unfortunately, her nature was not. She grew up to be a superman and selfish girl. Everything she wanted had to be done, or she would do anything to get it.But this one was different. She had a long-time crush on Mark, her foster brother, whom she had taken in five years ago. She liked how he was gentle with her and sensitive to what she wanted.Since she was a little girl, Mark had always accompanied her to the orchid garden when she was bored or fighting with Lucas.Especially when her mother died, Mark took Lisa

"Listen to me, Luc! I can explain everything." Mark held his breath, feeling the grip of Lucas's hand tighten.Lucas squeezed Mark's shirt collar even tighter until the man was out of breath.The muzzle of the gun was perfectly aimed at Mark's cheek, keeping him from moving."Don't lie! How many times have I told you?! I never asked you for anything!" Lucas' veins tightened. "Why is she crying? What did you do?"Having crossed the line, Mark finally stood up for himself. He pushed Lucas with what was left of his strength, almost knocking him over. Lucas then tried to breathe correctly."I'm just telling him something true! Not another weird thing!" Mark was trying to defend himself in front of his adopted brother. Because he really wasn't lying. Finally, it seemed that Lucas was also 'sick' of loving his sister too much."Since when did you know he could see the truth, huh!" Lucas raised his voice. He stared Mark in the face."You know that Lisa is my real sister! She deserves to be h
