Jay walked away with a steely resolve.
Marilyn slouched on the ground dejectedly, tears of sorrow streaming down her face. With a vast, hazy, and hopeless future ahead of her, she racked her brains to think of a way out.
She remembered Ken's words. 'Do you know who Ben really is, Marilyn? You've picked up a treasure! Listen, he’s Jay Ares, the former president of Grand Asia with a net worth of trillions. You’d better clutch onto this gold bar tightly because when he returns to his position one day, you can just pluck off a single hair from his sheep wool and you and Tiger will be able to lead a life of pleasure."
Marilyn gritted her teeth. "I won’t give up on you, Ben."
Grand Asia's office building.
Angeline crossed her arms and stood in front of the french windows on the ninth floor, staring down at Grand Asia’s main entrance.
She would raise her wrist to look at her watch from time to time. A quarter of an hour had passed since the working day started, but Jay had yet to show up. She was beginning to feel anxious now.
Even though he and Marilyn were not married, they
had lived together under the same roof for so many years, hence he would more or less look at their relationship differently.
There was no doubt that his mood would be affected after knowing that Marilyn had used and deceived him.
She was worried that his health would be affected if h e got too angry.
Though when she saw the familiar figure appearing at Grand Asia's main entrance at this very moment, Angeline’s taut nerves finally loosened up.
In order to distract him from his worries, Angeline decided to assign a few tasks for him. She rolled up the large stack of documents on her desk before turning around and walking out.
Jay made a beeline for the Cyber Security Department. After taking several peeps at him and noticing that he looked like his normal, calm self, Grayson secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Not long after that, Angeline walked up to Jay with a large stack of documents, dropping them all on his desk before ordering, "Ben, I need you to handle these documents for me. They’re urgent. Hand them in before you get off work today."
Jay stared at the documents that had piled up like a tiny hill on his desk before turning to look at Angeline speechlessly.
This brat had to be picking a quarrel with him on purpose, right?
"I won't be able to finish it," he said.
Stunned, Angeline said, "Just do as much as you can."
Jay,
