My ex went for an interview at that company, and they offered him fifty thousand a month.” 

Helene growled

He hasn’t worked for half a year, just playing games at home, doing nothing. I can’t believe he got hired by Bamford Group. The HR must be out of his mind to hire such an unambitious 

person with such a huge salary!” 

Carlisle choked on his food and had to pause to catch his breath

Helene hurriedly handed him a glass of water

You think they’re paying too much, huh? Fifty thousand bucks! And you only make thirty thousand a month. Why don’t you give Bamford Group a shot as well?” 

Carlisle coughed even more intensely, his face turning red

It took him a while to recover

Didn’t you say you had no contact with your exboyfriend? How do you know Bamford Group hired him?” 

His current girlfriend told me. The three of us were college classmates. His girlfriend and I used to be good friends, and we are even working at the same company.” 

Carlisle was somewhat surprised

It seemed the woman upstairs wasn’t Helene after all

But isn’t it awkward for you to work at the same company as 

her?” 

That’s why I’m considering changing jobs.” 

Carlisle didn’t say anything further, finishing his food in silence before heading to take a shower

As he exited the bathroom, he noticed Helene still sending 

messages

Carlisle told Helene that he’d be sleeping in the study tonight. Then he took his laptop and went to the adjacent room

apparently planning to work late

Helene didn’t care much and brought her change of clothes to shower as well

Carlisle opened his laptop in the study but didn’t flip through any pages for a long time

He then decided to call the HR manager

The HR manager got so nervous when he received Carlisle’s call. Since joining the company, Carlisle had never spoken to him for more than five sentences; three of them were spoken earlier today

Mr. Bamford, you’re still up?” 

The guy we decided to hire, Diego, decreased his salary to ten thousand a month. Tell him it’s because he leaked salary information, and if he doesn’t agree, hire someone else.” 

The following day, Helene woke up early and prepared

As they ate, Franco suddenly asked, Carlisle, where did you sleep last night?” 

Carlisle’s face stiffened, and he glanced at Helene

I’m asking you. Why are you looking at Helene?” 

I had some unfinished work and didn’t want to disturb Helene, so I slept in the study.” 

This is just your first week of marriage. Put your work aside and spend time with Helene,Franco pondered momentarily. Why don’t you two go on a honeymoon?” 

A honeymoon?Carlisle looked at Helene. Is this your idea?” 

No. I didn’t say anything,Helene couldn’t figure out how Franco knew Carlisle hadn’t slept in her room last night

Carlisle didn’t believe her

Helene never said that. I’m just anxious to have a grandchild. You better make a baby; I’m still waiting.” 

Being forced to have a baby early in the morning, Carlisle felt disgruntled during breakfast

Standing at the doorway, Matilda observed the situation and recalled the prenuptial agreement she found while cleaning Helene’s room

If Franco knew these two planned to divorce in six months, would he be utterly disappointed in Helene

Then her niece might have a chance

After leaving home, Helene immediately took a leave from work and went straight to the hospital

Her grandmother’s surgery was scheduled for next week, and this week was dedicated to a series of preoperative examinations

In the morning, Helene met with her grandmother’s attending physician, Niall Anderson, after the ward rounds. Niall was a sophisticated and handsome doctor, rumored to have studied abroad, making him one of the outstanding young doctors

He patiently and meticulously explained her grandmother’s condition to Helene

The way he did it also impressed the nursing staff

Dr. Anderson has been chatting with that woman for half an hour. If Dr. Wilson sees this, there might be some drama,one of the nurses said with a hint of glee

I wish Dr. Wilson could see this. Dr. Anderson isn’t exclusive to her; he’s still single, and we all have a chance,another nurse said

So, you’re interested in Dr. Anderson too?” 

It’s not just me. An outstanding man like Dr. Anderson is attractive to any woman.” 

Shh! Dr. Wilson is here!The two nurses quickly fell silent and pretended to be busy

Delilah Wilson passed by the nursesstation and glanced at the two nurses who had just been gossiping. What were you talking about?”

One of the two nurses awkwardly smiled, We were just saying how patient Dr. Anderson is; he’s been talking with that patient’s family for half an hour.” 

Delilah glanced toward the doctor’s office and saw a young girl sitting across from Niall

The girl had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, with fair and tender skin, looking as innocent as a collège girl

The girl said something, and suddenly, Niall burst into a smile

That smile was comforting and refreshing like warm winter sunlight or a gentle summer breeze

It was precisely because of Niall’s smile that Delilah found herself drawn to him. She had pursued him for three years during her study abroad, but Niall remained indifferent no matter how hard she tried

Delilah’s face visibly darkened at the sight of that radiant 

smile

Whose family is that?Delilah asked

She’s the granddaughter of the patient in Bed 23.” 

The one with latestage cancer?Delilah recalled. She hasn’t paid the full surgery fee yet, right?” 

She only paid the deposit and still owes over 400,000.” 

Then let’s schedule her surgery when she pays it.” 

But she’s Dr. Anderson’s patient,the young nurse replied, surprised by Delilah’s jealousy

Arranging the operating room is my responsibility. I have to prioritize patients who have paid in full. If there’s any problem, tell Dr. Anderson to talk to me.” 

From Niall, Helene learned about her grandmother’s severe condition, and tears rose

Handing her a tissue, Niall reassured her, Don’t worry; as long as we perform the surgery as soon as possible, we can get your grandmother’s condition under control.” 

Helene nodded and expressed her gratitude, befriending Niall on WhatsApp for future contact

The real estate agency called Helene in the afternoon, saying that a client wanted to view her apartment

She rushed home, but it took her a while to realize that the locks had been changed

A neighbor informed her that her boyfriend had brought a locksmith yesterday to change the locks

Furious, Helene immediately called Diego, only to find that he had also changed his phone number

Bamford Group

Helene went to the front desk to inquire about Diego’s department, but the receptionist had no idea who Diego was

Getting anxious, Helene tried to enter the building to look for him, but the receptionist naturally couldn’t allow her inside

Helene waited a while and slipped in while the receptionist went to the restroom to touch up her makeup

Bamford Group had twentyfive floors, and Helene began her search from the fifth floor, where the technology department was located

Since she didn’t have an access card, she had to climb the stairs. She continued searching until the fifteenth floor but still couldn’t find Diego

Exhausted, she waited near the elevators, hoping to catch one 

when someone else used it

As the elevator door opened behind her, a middleaged man stepped out, followed by another man

But upon seeing Helene, that man quickly retreated into the elevator and immediately pressed the button to close the door
