Chapter 1340


    Lina smiled and gently kissed Zuko on the lips.


    It was destined to be another restless night tonight.


    –


    The next day, Lina set up a meeting with Lena at thepany.


    Lena was cautious, not using the main entrance but a side door and a dedicated elevator to get to


    Lina’s office.


    “You don’t need to be so careful,” Lina said, pouring her some tea with a smile. “Since you’ll be working


    here soon, you’lle in daily through the main entrance.”


    “What?” Lena looked surprised, meeting Lina’s gaze.


    Lina handed over documents rted to the sales department. “The project I’ve been handling is almost


    done. Now, the main focus is selling these properties.”


    Lena nced at the documents and turned to Lina, clearly surprised. “You… want me to help sell


    houses?”


    “Why not?” Lina smiled, gently holding Lena’s hand. “I’ve considered it. You’re still young. You shouldn’t


    always be at home or looking after me. You should have your own world.”


    Lena quickly responded. “If you think staying with the Thompsons isn’t good for me, I can leave


    anytime! I can also go back to my old job…”


    “I don’t want you to go back. That’s why I want you here at the Thompson Group.”


    Lina’s words caught Lena off guard.


    “Being at the Thompson Group is much better than your previous job as a janitor,” Lina said earnestly.


    “The other departments here have high education requirements that don’t really suit you. After thinking


    it over, the sales department values individual skills, and the atmosphere is more rxed. Plus, you

    “Okay, I’ll go!” Before Lina could finish, Lena gave a firm answer.


    Lina paused before she smiled.


    Lena smiled back. “Lina, I’m fine going anywhere as long as it’s your request.”


    Lina gripped Lena’s hand tighter, her heart warmed by the touch. She was increasingly sure that the


    bonds between people were truly mysterious. Someone as sincere in her feelings as Lena was a rarity,


    especially in these ever-changing times.


    Lena looked down. “I also think Ms. Renee might prefer it if I’m not around at home.”


    “What?” Lina was surprised.


    “It’s true.” Lena nodded slightly. “I can sense it. She’s a bit distant with me… I understand. In the


    beginning, I didn’t treat her mother well.”


    Lina tried to dispel her doubts. “Lenny, Renee’s mom just passed away. Her wedding ns with Toph


    have been dyed, and the wedding might not happen for another couple of years. Her moodiness


    isn’t about you. It’s just temporary emotional turbulence. Don’t take it personally.”


    “How could I?” Lena smiled softly. “Actually, it’s my fault. My presence triggered Kaitlyn, which pushed


    her to make those extreme choices.”


    “Don’t me yourself for this! She had deeper psychological issues. No one could have foreseen this


    oue.”


    Lena lowered her head and held the teacup, her thumb tapping the rim nervously.


    –


    Soon, Lena officially joined the Thompson Group’s sales department. Despite having worked from a


    young age, she was ustomed to solitude, so being part of a team was a new experience.

    She felt the pressure as she observed the elegant sales department bustling with activity. She didn’t


    want to disappoint Lina or shame the Thompsons.
