"Did you say that I can't separate my personal life from my professional one?" Jacob said in a heavy tone. "Natalie, you're not wrong. Indeed, I haven't been able to separate those two."Natalie's furious face froze. "If I was really being fair, then the person who should be in your position now is Liesel and not you, Natalie. And, with your capabilities, you aren't even worthy of stepping through the doors of Ford Corporation."Actually, Jacob knew all of this deep down. However, he still opened the back door for Natalie to enter and sent Liesel to the project department. Now, Natalie actually had the gall to say that he wasn't keeping his personal and professional lives separate. It was ridiculous."If you want me to be fairer like you said, then you should leave Ford Corporation at once," he said icily. "Since you joined the company, you should already be aware of Liesel's abilities."Natalie had kept a constant watch over Liesel's performance. However, it wasn't out of care b

Elijah beamed. Evidently, he'd heard what Liesel said. The amusement in his eyes deepened. "It's really difficult to hear you say those words to me. Don't worry. Not only will I come back safe, but I'll even bring you some local specialties."With that, he drove off.Why had Elijah intervened in this matter?Actually, he could have rejected Dash's contract outright. Still, he came to Ford Corporation's office, and he didn't even try to retort when Jacob suggested he go overseas to evaluate the partnership.He and Jacob weren't considered good friends, so how was Jacob able to make him do something?Drew saw the truth—Elijah had come because of Liesel, and he was also going abroad to do the evaluation for Leisel.Even though Elijah had personal motives, at least he was sincere enough. He thought that someone as smart as Liesel would be able to spot it."From the perspective of Mr. Ford's secretary, I actually don't like Elijah that much. However, if I was looking at it from your

Liesel silently put her glass down and turned to look at Jacob.Today, he was wearing a midnight blue suit with a luxury watch worth millions. His platinum tie clip was in the shape of an iris. As one looked upward, they would be drawn to his strikingly handsome face.Midnight blue was his favorite color.Liesel glanced down at her red gown as she couldn't help but smile.From afar, many might see their red-blue combination and assume they were a couple. What a shame they were already divorced.After the divorce, Liesel's flourishing beauty was something Jacob had never seen before. It was as if she had transformed into a completely different person now.His eyes slightly darkened. As she raised her head at that moment, her composed gaze met his arrogant one. A hint of incomprehensible allure in her gaze seemed to tease him.Though it wasn't her intention, Liesel's misleading gaze would always contradict how she felt.Standing tall on the wide balcony, Jacob's dominant presence

It felt like the oppressive presence of someone who had long stood at the pinnacle of power and prestige. This was almost the exact same feeling Vivian got from Jacob.So, this was… his secretary? Vivian felt a lump in her throat. For a moment, she deeply regretted acting recklessly without much thought."Ms. Secretary…" Her voice was dry.Before Vivian could utter an apology, Liesel gently tapped the wooden railing beside her. On the railing sat a stunning bouquet of irises, which accentuated her beauty.Liesel's voice carried a faint hint of amusement. "I'm not his secretary anymore."It felt that she had deliberately chosen this moment to speak. "I'm just the manager. You can call me Ms. Sharp."So, Liesel was not his secretary. Her words seemed to draw clear boundaries between herself and Jacob.Vivian was stunned by her words. Yet, Liesel remained composed. She smiled calmly."Ms. Sharp, I didn't mean to bump into you on purpose. I just got too excited when I saw Mr. Ford.

Liesel gently sought her opinion.Vivian's heart fluttered.How could someone who had been admitted to Alden University and was valued by Lucian be anything but intelligent? Liesel certainly wasn't foolish.Liesel understood her situation. She knew that everyone was watching her. Those people were waiting for her to fail. They were hoping to see her embarrassed and humiliated. However, Liesel offered her an out and even lifted her up with praise.Liesel was like a living legend in the finance faculty at Alden University. The charity organizations she founded for disabled individuals and women who had lost the chance to attend school were still operating, and they were even profitable enough to help more people each year.That was her gift to Alden University, and also the greatest contribution to those in need.For this reason, she was seen almost as a figure of reverence among some students in the finance faculty. She was the example Lucian always spoke of, an outstanding gradua
