"You serious?" Kenneth asked John, keeping his voice low.John headed toward the neighboring private room, leaving behind words cold enough to send chills down Kenneth's spine. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Kenneth grinned. "Fine, I'll work on it now." He was more than willing to put some work into messing with Nicholas.Just you wait, Nicholas!Time to die!Nicholas suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He rubbed the back of his neck and ignored it, continuing his chat with Sierra. "You're looking for work lately, right?""How did you know?" Sierra was a little surprised."Holly told me," Nicholas admitted it openly.There was understanding in Sierra's eyes.Of course.As long as it wasn't something absolutely private between her and Holly, she would tell Nicholas about most of it as gossip."I have a friend who's hiring. Do you want to give it a try?" Nicholas wanted to help Sierra, and he had heard a few things from Holly. "The company only went public recently, but it

The restaurant manager felt a little embarrassed.Before he could think of a way out, Sierra stood up from her seat and walked over. Her expression was calmer than ever. "It's John who told you to do this, right?""No, no!" the manager denied it at once. "It's not him.""Where is he?" Sierra went straight to the point. "Next room, or has he left already?"Back when John used to drag her out to "watch a show," he would always book the room right next door to the action. After so many years, she refused to believe he had suddenly changed that habit.Cold sweat rolling down the restaurant manager's forehead. He didn't expect things to develop like this."Have her come over," Kenneth's voice came through the restaurant manager's earpiece.The restaurant manager's heart skipped a beat. With Sierra and Nicholas both staring at him, he finally answered honestly, "Mr. Henderson and Mr. Gomez are waiting for you in the room next door."Sierra walked out at once, and Nicholas followed ri

"He can paint as many targets on my back as he wants," Nicholas said to Sierra. He had never been afraid of anyone. "You don't need to worry about me. Just live your life like you always do.""Nicholas," Sierra called him, feeling he was being stubborn again."You think I came back because I felt like it?" Nicholas spoke like he was reciting a tongue twister, one hand on the steering wheel. "I'm also carrying orders from the demoness Holly. If I really leave you be, she'd show up one day with a cleaver to chop me up into pieces.""I'll explain it to her," Sierra said seriously."Don't worry about it," Nicholas said as he kept his eyes on the road. "It's settled. No matter what tricks John pulls, Holly and I will always stand on your side."Sierra wanted to argue again, but Nicholas cut her off. "If you say no, then you're saying we're not friends. If we're not friends, then I'll have no choice but to go beat up John to vent my anger."Sierra blinked.She just couldn't keep u

"Our boss is away for the next two days or so and will only be back on Wednesday afternoon." The interviewer noticed Sierra's hesitation and provided a bit more explanation. "If you're free, we can schedule your final interview for three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.""I have time," Sierra replied.Her mother's surgery was scheduled for this afternoon. Even if something unexpected happened, Tuesday would be enough for her to take care of things. Sierra didn't yet know how much the surgery would cost afterward, but she had to secure this job. She could only hope John would not ruin things this time.When the interview ended, Sierra went straight to the hospital. The operation was not until the afternoon, but she could not stop worrying.She arrived a little after eleven. Dr. Smith greeted her briefly. His tone sounded much the same as always. "You understand the surgery, right?""I do," Sierra sat down across from him. The worry on her expression was impossible to hide. "

It couldn't have been because John enjoyed Pamela in bed.The reason couldn't have been something so ridiculous!"You can go ask him," Pamela said, steadying herself and forcing herself to look calm. "I promised I wouldn't say anything.""If you refuse to tell me, then there's no point in this so-called cooperation," Sierra said, clearly dismissing Pamela. "Just focus on being his mistress.""Sierra!" Pamela did not expect that Sierra was still unmoved even after she was being so sincere.Sierra lifted her chin and pointed toward the no-talking sign on the wall.Pamela's fists tightened at her sides as she lowered her voice. "Seriously, don't tell me you really can't see how John treats you as a toy. As long as he isn't finished toying with you, you'll never be able to get away from him."Sierra had already known all of this very well. "Are you done?" "I can give you a calm life," Pamela insisted; she refused to give up. "Once you're free from under his control, I can get al
