Tim''s words made Eva extremely ufortable, even his confident expression and tone made it seem like it was really the case. Something that didn''t exist was now being portrayed as existing.


    "If it doesn''t exist, then when you hear me say it, you should have an indifferent attitude. After all, for a person, if a wound is healed, there is no feeling when touched." "Is that so?" Eva chuckled softly, "Manager, it''s true that touching a healed wound doesn''t hurt, but if you vigorously strike it with a stick, can you say it doesn''t hurt?" Upon hearing this, Tim raised an eyebrow.


    "Just casually saying a few words, is it really that serious ording to your description? Or is it that the injured person is still heavily wounded and hasn''t healed?" Upon hearing this, the smile on Eva''s lips gradually turned cold.


    "You''re wrong, I really don''t mind."


    Tim shrugged, "Boss, if you can let go of these emotions and focus on our business, it would be the best thing for us employees."


    At this point, Tim stopped probing further and changed the subject. "The documents are on the desk, but I guess boss doesn''t need them. I''ll go out and get busy. Finally, a new employee has arrived, but I don''t know if they can stay. Call me if you need anything."


    After Tim left, Eva remained alone in the office, gradually calming down the emotions that he had stirred up earlier.


    Since she had already decided to let go and treat Adrian as a stranger, why should she care about working with him? However, she still had another concern: Ruby and Dn, her two children.


    Once she coborated with the ckwood family, she and Adrian would definitely cross paths in the future.


    Although others couldn''t see it, Eva was well aware that the two children actually resembled Adrian quite a bit. They were still young, so their features hadn''t fully developed, resulting in only a few simrities.


    If they were referred to as father and daughter or father and son, people would surely think that the children resembled their father. But if they didn''t know, they wouldn''t see any connection between the two children and Adrian. If he discovered the existence of the two children, would he try to take them away from her?


    In theory, he should have been with Vivian since she left, and they probably have children now, right?


    He shouldn''t...e and im her children, should he?


    But who knows if that possibility exists?


    Eva''s face was filled with worry.


    She initially thought that she could handle all the difficulties when she came to Chicago to start apany. However, at this first hurdle, she was already considering backing down a bit. Whenever she thought about the possibility, Eva felt that she couldn''t ept it.


    She should think of another solution.


    The person Tim interviewed for the job heard that theirpany was very new and had nothing. Despite knowing that Tim had a rich background, he shook his head and left.


    Before leaving, he said to Tim, "I think a bigpany is more reliable. Your smallpany has no capital, and if it copses in the future, what will I do?"


    After saying that, he simply grabbed his briefcase and left without any mercy.


    When Eva came out, Tim was still watching the person leave.


    "Not staying?"


    Tim shook his head and sighed. "He thinks ourpany is too small andcks capital."


    Eva stood quietly in ce for a while, then suddenly leaned on the table with her hands and asked, "Manager, what do you think if we could find arge overseas conglomerate as our capital?"


    "If we really can''t find one, of course finding one is better than none. But we''re a smallpany, and in the current situation, many people in the country are looking for stability in their jobs. Even if the foreign conglomerates are big, they are far away and might not be familiar with the business. There might be some who are willing toe, but I don''t think there will be many."


    Upon hearing this, Eva had some preliminary ideas.


    "So, when there''s no way out, this path is still viable?"


    "Yes, with assistance overseas?" Tim had a gossipy expression. "Do you mind if I ask a personal question?"


    She didn''t even need to wait for him to speak, Eva knew what he wanted to ask, so she directly refused him after he finished speaking. "I mind."


    Upon hearing her response, Tim couldn''t help butugh and say, "Actually, I wanted to ask if you got remarried after that, if you''re single now."


    Eva looked at Tim with some helplessness.


    "I refuse to answer that question."


    "It''s fine. No one is here to work anyway, a little gossip won''t hurt."


    Indeed, no one came to work. Eva nced at the time and realized it was almost time to pick up the kids from school. She said to Tim, "If you don''t have anything else today, you should head home early." "Alright, I''ll leave early then. Will it count as leaving early?"


    The two of them left thepany while joking around.


    ...


    After that, Eva took the bus to pick up her two precious children from school.


    When she arrived, the teacher immediately approached her and said, ''Ms. Hansen, you''re here to pick up Ruby and Dn again? Their father already took them home.''


    Hearing the word ''father'' again today, Eva no longer felt nervous.


    She could tell it was Michael.


    "I was busy at work and forgot to answer the call."


    After casually exining, she left.


    When she arrived home, she saw Michael sitting with the two little ones on the couch, helping them with their homework.


    Seeing this scene, Eva thought about the things Emily had asked her to consider, and also the possibility that Adrian might try to take the kids away from her.


    If she were with Michael, would he also consider the children to be theirs, without any doubts about himself?


    But if she really did that, it would be unfair to Michael, right? After all, he truly liked her and treated her well. And now she was having thoughts of using him. But if she wanted someone to cover it up, she had to find a man.


    So it didn''t matter who she used, it was all the same.


    No, Eva pushed those unrealistic thoughts out of her mind and bit her lip.


    Ever since she had decided to raise the children on her own five years ago, she had made up her mind that no matter what, she would raise them alone. So what did these thoughts amount to now?


    Moreover, Michael had been treating her so well. She couldn''t repay his kindness with ingratitude. At worst, she could start a newpany in another city! Although it would be difficult to start from scratch, she had just started after all. Adrian wouldn''t move to the same city just because she moved, right? He wouldn''t be so shameless for the people around him, would he?
