Paulette definitely knew. In fact, they had been living together for so long, and Jeremiah being able to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor all along was already quite impressive.
She hesitated for a while before finally saying, “Yes.”
The voice was too low, the man probably didn’t hear, Paulette repeated, “I will miss you.”
There was silence on both ends of the phone, as if we could hear each other’s breathing.
Paulette sat still at the dining table, with the wind blowing gently through the window opposite, lifting strands of hair at her temples. Her delicate cheeks were as white as snow.
I don’t know how long passed, the phone receiver rang with the flight attendant’s reminder.
“You were about to leave.”
Do you want to hang up?
The man’s deep voice was inexplicably mixed with resentment, “Paulette, what should I do?”
“Huh?”
“I suddenly didn’t feel like going.”

Paulette couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “You’re going to work, hurry up and finish so you can come back soon. You can’t just say you’re not
going.”
Jeremiah sat up with a smile on his face, pinching his brow, and said in a calm voice, “Well, gotta go. Stay safe these days, and if you need anything, just call Collin. He’s free, he can run errands for you.”
A soft voice entered his ears, making his expression even softer.
“Wait for me to come back.”
Paulette said, “Okay.”
She hung up the phone, then zoned out staring at her phone for a while, until Larissa came over to clean up the tableware and she snapped out of
- it.
“Jeremiah, huh?”
“Um.”
Paulette stood up, “Larissa, I’ll help you.”
Larissa’s eyes were rolling around, not sure what she was thinking, and surprisingly didn’t refuse, “How did you guys eat these days when I was away? I see there’s nothing in the fridge, did Jeremiah not cook for you?”
Her voice was very soft in the second half of the sentence, but Paulette still heard it.
He smiled and said, “Larissa, it can only be him who did it, I don’t know. how to do it myself.”
Larissa nodded, “Me too.”
Paulette helped her take the dishes to the kitchen and then went upstairs.

Larissa’s eyes followed her, making sure no one was around before quickly taking out her phone and making a mysterious phone call.
“It’s me.”
“Yeah, I’m back now.
“But it seems like this young couple get along well… I probably won’t need it for now, I’ll just keep an eye on them.”
“No no no, definitely no side effects, but I’ve never done it before! Just afraid I can’t control the amount.”
Paulette quickly came down from upstairs, Larissa was mopping the floor in the living room, she smiled and said goodbye. “Larissa, I’m off to work now, see you tonight.”
“See you tonight, see you tonight.”
As soon as the person left, she immediately put down the floor scrubber and breathed a sigh of relief.
Stealing is not easy at all, you know? Even though it’s impossible to get caught, you still feel nervous all the time. It’s really frustrating.
Paulette drove to the office and grabbed a cup of coffee downstairs.
At the elevator door, I unexpectedly ran into Lynda.
She seemed even happier than Paulette. After asking about Paulette’s recent work, she suddenly said, “I’m going to a networking event tonight. How about you come with me?”
“I…”

“Hey, that’s settled then!”
Paulette was about to speak but then stopped herself, and just smiled and said, “Okay, Ms. Palmer.”
Lynda was dressed in a smart professional outfit, but at that moment, the smile on her face… didn’t quite match the cool and commanding leader image, it was more bright and lively.
She reached out and touched Paulette’s face, “What’s your name in private, Ms. Palmer? Just call me Lynda, anyway in the future…”
Paulette looked at the expression frozen on her face, puzzled, “What
“Nothing.”
Lynda’s smile deepened a bit, as if she was hiding something. “I’ll be waiting for you in the parking lot after work this afternoon. Let’s go, time to work!”
Paulette was confused, but she didn’t object to the leader’s arrangement,
of course.
Strictly speaking, Dreammaker has been established for less than three years, but it has already gained some popularity and has a group of devoted fans.
The development speed like this can be called a dark horse.
Paulette pulled up Lynda’s information and exclaimed, “Greenleaf University of Hotruesia?”
“Can’t argue with that.” Cecilia didn’t know when she stood beside her, holding a cup of coffee, staring at her computer screen, sighing,
“Dreammaker was built by Ms. Palmer herself, graduating from Greenleaf University in Hotruesia, it’s different, huh.”
