She used to never drink milk, but it’s weird, after living with Jeremiah, she would finish the milk every time.
For this, Paulette often felt like Jeremiah had put something.
“Sugar.”
The man didn’t change his expression, “Otherwise, how could it be sweet?”
“Is there anything else besides sugar? But this milk is really delicious.”
Seeing her studying the cup so seriously, Jeremiah just smiled and didn’t say anything. He wouldn’t say… he had already tried many flavors to see if the milk was good or not.
Paulette finished breakfast before going upstairs to get her computer. When she left, she said, “I might not come back for dinner tonight, so if you come back first, don’t wait for me.”
Jeremiah’s eyes flickered slightly, “Gotta work overtime today?”
Paulette nodded, “Yeah, that’s what I heard.”
Cecilia didn’t text her until late last night, saying that the big boss is coming to the company for an inspection today. She guessed everyone would have to stay and have dinner with him.
She sighed, “Boss is boss, every time he comes he has to organize some team building activity, as if it’s not friendly enough without it.”
Paulette was talking and turning around to change her shoes, not noticing

Jeremiah looked at her in a hurry, wanting to say something but ended up keeping it to himself.
The two of them went out one after the other, but they were heading in the same direction.
After clocking in at the company, Paulette made a cup of coffee and went back to her desk.
Cecilia tilted her head and asked, “How did Ms. Gentry like your design draft?”
“Huh?”
Paulette was a bit slow to react at first, “Oh yeah, my design draft is still with Ms. Gentry.”
Cecilia was staring at her like she was looking at a new species, “Do you know what it means when the boss comes to inspect at this time?”
“What?” Paulette was puzzled.
“Of course, it was to confirm the main style of the spring new products.”
Cecilia was speechless, not sure if this girl’s innocence was a good thing or a bad thing. “If your work can be passed to the boss and be noticed, then your jewelry design will be placed in a key position, maybe you will become famous in one fell swoop.”
So Paulette understood that,
She shrugged and smiled, “It’s okay.”
“How could it be okay that…!”

“I admire those who chase their dreams with determination, but I’m not very good at it. I believe what’s meant to be mine will be mine, no one can take it away. Just be prepared at all times.”
Cecilia’s eyes widened and she gave her a big thumbs up.
“Your attitude, it’s just not cut out to be a famous designer.”
Ten minutes later, the boss came.
The company was on high alert, with every department on edge, afraid of being randomly inspected due to bad luck.
The messy footsteps got closer and closer, everyone pretended to be busy when passing by, but once they entered the office, they started whispering to each other.
“I went…I just saw it! The boss is really handsome, just like he walked out of a comic book!”
“Really? I wish I had taken a look too!”
“I didn’t see the face, but I saw the figure, wow… that was absolutely stunning.”
Paulette just went to the bathroom and when she came out, she heard all kinds of comments like, How good–looking can he be? Can he be better than Jeremiah?
She wasn’t interested, just glanced casually and then went back to her desk to continue working.
In the office at this moment.
Lynda and Kaylyn were both standing, while the man behind the desk was sitting, with the design draft in his hand blocking his whole face. After a while, he moved it away, and it turned out to be Jeremiah, who

His gaze was wandering, but somehow it was impossible to look directly
at him.
“You said, is this your design?”
Kaylyn had never seen someone so intimidating before. Her palms were sweaty and she couldn’t meet Jeremiah’s eyes, but she still forced herself to say, “Yes, Mr. Swanson, this… is something I painted while I was abroad. It might need some adjustments, but I think it’s usable.”

Lynda gave her a glance.
Same old excuses, remember them very clearly.
Jeremiah nodded and then casually put away the manuscript, “Not
suitable.”
Kaylyn raised her head in surprise and blurted out, “Why?”
Lynda didn’t say anything, just gave a thumbs up in her heart for her
courage.
Jeremiah chuckled mysteriously, his tone unreadable, “I said it’s not appropriate, so it’s not appropriate. What’s the big deal?”
