Cordelia nodded and smiled tenderly, leaning against him. After spending most of their lives together, he was still her haven and her superhero.

It had been over a month since Lena joined the Thompson Group. Her first paycheck was not substantial, but the amount left her content compared to before.
The only regret was that it was just the base salary, whereas her colleagues were all rejoicing, clearly receiving significant performance bonuses. Some of them could even afford to buy a small sports car with their bonuses.
Lena bit her lip. Honestly, she did not envy their ability to earn a lot of money. Money had long become something external to her. What she regretted was not selling a single property in this past month, not achieving any results, and disgracing Lina.
While sitting at her desk, someone unexpectedly patted her shoulder. She turned around, surprised to see Jade standing there with a gentle smile.
"Feeling good about receiving your first month's salary?"
Lena hurriedly stood up and nodded respectfully.
"Don't be nervous. Keep up the good work." Jade chuckled. "Come to the conference room. We're having a short departmental meeting."
Lena followed her, and before long, everyone had gathered in the conference room and taken their respective seats. As a newcomer, Lena sat in the farthest corner.
Jacquelin turned, gave her a disdainful look, and spoke loudly. "Hey, Walter, you're the top salesman this month, right?"
"No way! Jackie, you're overestimating me. I've only sold five properties!"
"Selling five properties is already quite impressive! Some people can't even sell one!"
Lena clenched the pen in her hand, her fist trembling slightly.
