    “No thanks. I won’t switch my job for the


    time being. I’ll do it when I’ve made some


    real achievements and have a better


    resume,” she said.


    “Don’t you mind how those people treat


    you?”


    “I do, but… that’s also the frustration


    of being an adult. Even though I don’t


    get along with those people, I still have to stay for the sake of earning a living. As for them… Um, it was


    the second daughter of the Atkinson family, Lily, who wanted to embarrass me. If they helped me, they


    would be offending Lily. We’re


    not that close, so they have no reason to


    do that for me, right?”


    Hadwin Stephenson was somewhat surprised. He did not expect her to be so


    understanding.


    However, after saying that, she froze and


    looked at him strangely.


    “What’s the matter? Why are you looking


    at me like that?” he asked with a slight


    frown.


    She pressed her lips together for a long time before she said, “Nothing… I’m hungry and I want


    something to eat.”


    “Alright.” Hadwin Stephenson smiled.


    Since it was not dinner time, Hadwin Stephenson took Lina to a dessert shop that was pretty popr


    these days.


    He ordered the dessert he was interested


    in, but Lina was a little absent-minded.


    She kept looking at Hadwin Stephenson.


    He naturally felt that something was


    wrong with her, but… it felt good when she looked at him that way.


    “What’s the matter? Why do you


    keep looking at me today?” Hadwin Stephenson asked with a smile on his


    lips.


    Lina bit her lip. Everyone in this world


    knew how to seek benefits and avoid


    harm. She understood that her


    colleagues and director were afraid


    of offending Lily, so they dared not


    intervene in her affairs with that woman.

    However, when she had a conflict with


    Jason, Hadwin Stephenson did not


    hesitate to intervene and took on all the


    responsibilities for her. Someone like him


    should know that once he intervened, he


    would offend Jason by doing so.


    However, he chose to stand by her side and was willing to be the sword in her


    hand.


    ‘Is it really… fake? What if it’s true?’


    “Hadwin Stephenson, do you really like me?” Lina asked suddenly.


    Hadwin Stephenson suddenly narrowed his eyes. There was a sh of surprise


    in his eyes. He could feel that she was


    being unprecedentedly serious right


    now.


    His thin lips parted as he said gently,


    “Yes.” The simple word had already been


    dered his heart.


    “Are you… still going to get even with me?” Lina took a deep breath before


    continuing to ask, “Are you going to dump me after I fall in love with you?”


    He sighed. “If I only wanted to get even


    with you, why would I do so much for you? Lina, do you really think I’ve been


    with you all these days just to get back at


    you?”


    She was speechless.


    Regarding the time they had spent together these days… If there was a so-called boyfriend grading


    system,


    even if he did not get a full score, he certainly had a high score.


    Sometimes she could not help but think that if she could find a boyfriend who would treat her as well as


    he did, then she would be really happy.


    He made her know what it was like to be


    so carefully cherished by a man.


    “Hadwin Stephenson, I think I like you. If you want, then… How about a real


    rtionship? Not one that’s on the premise of revenge, but let’s be a real couple?” said Lina.


    Speaking of which, this was the first time she was confessing to a man so seriously.
