"Alright. Under such circumstances, the child can be enrolled with us. I will talk to the teacher and the students in her ss. The students should be able to ept Irene." "Can we let her try it out first? I''m afraid she might not be able to fit in."


    "Sure. She can start today," the principal said enthusiastically. "You can pick her up at five in the evening."


    Madam nodded before drawing Irene to the side and asking, "Do you want to go to school right now or wait until tomorrow?"


    Irene did not want to bother Madam, so she understandingly said, "I''ll try it out right now!"


    "Okay, then. I''lle at five this evening to pick you up. If I don''t have time, Grandma wille to pick you up instead."


    "Hmm... I understand, Madam. You can go home!"


    Madam nodded. "Remember what Grandma told you. If someone asks you strange questions, don''t answer them. If you feel that something is not right, try your best to hide immediately. Do you understand?" "Yes, Madam."

    In the evening, Elliot went to Tate Industries to pick Avery up.


    "How was the first day of work?" Elliot held her hand and asked.


    Avery said, "It was alright. The vice president that Mr. Locklyn introduced me to is not bad. He basically thought of everything. He is also quite honest."


    "I''ve checked his background. Melvin Thornton is quite great at marketing."


    "Yes. He told me that it would be hard for thepany''s technology to have any huge developments. Previously, thepany did not pay too much attention to marketing. He said that now not only do we need to


    focus on technology, we needed to


    focus on marketing. I got him to make a proposal and show it to me when he is done," Avery said. "I wasn''t really that busy today, but I feel that time passes by quickly


    when I''m at work."


    "Hmm... This is also the reason why I like working."


    "Between work and me, which one do you like more?" Avery deliberately made things difficult for him.


    Elliot replied without any hesitation. "I work to earn money. The money I earn is for you and the children to spend, so tell me: which one do I like more?"


    "What you said just now didn''t imply that you were working just to earn money. You work because you love your job," Avery teased.


    "I love my job provided that it can create value."


    "Oh? Value? I think we cannot just look at the profit it creates. Like, I feel that spending time with me and the children would be much more meaningful than you just working to earn money for us." Avery raised a different opinion. "Of course you have spent a long time with us. You''ve done well. I feel that you have changed and sacrificed a lot for this family."


    "Avery, you''re wrong. I have never felt as though I''ve sacrificed anything for you all." Elliot held her hand tightly. "Even if there were any so-called sacrifices, they were made


    willingly after much thought."


    "You''re bing more and more of a sweet talker. It''s hard to pick a fight with you. How boring, "Avery teased.


    "How is the hiring of a new assistant going?"


    "The human resources department has passed over somedies'' resumes to me. I haven''t started filtering through them yet," Avery said. "I''ll see whether there are any that suit you." "You can just forward them to me, I''ll have a look on my own!"


    Avery replied, "It''s such a small matter. I can do it."


    "Okay. Then I''ll head home to spend time with the children." When Elliot said those words, his gaze softened. "I do quite like spending time with the children."


    "La and Robert like you too. La used to side with me more often. Now she''s equally on both sides." Avery chuckled.
