"Hans, | owe you one." Molly was taken aback by Hans" special care for her, even helping her deal with the hassle.

"You're new to the company, and there's a lot of stuff and people you need to get used to." Hans barely finished his sentence when his phone started buzzing. "Excuse me for a sec." "Go ahead, Hans." Seeing him take the call and head off elsewhere, presumably for work-related stuff, Molly didn't interrupt.

She accidentally spotted QY's CEO, Jaime, swarmed by a bunch of people, so she decided to step in.

"Guys, lay off Mr. Jaime for today, let's not talk shop." Molly fended off some overzealous chairpersons and shareholders who were eager to brown-nose, shielding Jaime behind her. "If there's anything about cooperation, Mr. Jaime will talk to me. You guys don't need to bother.” "Molly, I have something else to discuss with Mr. Jaime." "You guys can schedule another time, Mr. Jaime is here for me today. At my celebration, | don't want to hear anything related to work." Someone said, "I just proposed a suggestion to Mr. Jaime, but he hasn't responded yet." "If he hasn't responded today, please give Mr. Jaime some personal space." After shooing these people away, Molly apologized to Jaime, "I'm sorry, my people didn't get the memo and are always looking for a free ride. Mr. Jaime, don't worry about it, just say no if you want to. I'll school them to behave better." "I understand your predicament, President Molly. It's okay, thanks for bailing me out." Jaime was not only a CEO, but also a PR whiz, handling the situation earlier with ease, but being shielded by a young girl made him feel somewhat different.

"Sorry for this, Mr. Jaime," Molly apologized with a smile. "As you can see, I'm new on the job, inexperienced, and unseasoned, so many people don't respect me." "Take it slow," Jaime encouraged Molly standing in front of him. "When | first managed QY, | also started from scratch. I've seen your competition. You're very talented, creative, and hardworking. | believe you can make it in the design industry.” "Thank you, Mr. Jaime." Molly was touched.

"I'm not just making small talk. | really think you can do it." Jaime patted her shoulder encouragingly. "Keep going, you'll do great." Hans was dealing with work stuff in the distance, and he saw the two of them laughing and talking. Jaime even patted Molly's shoulder.

"Boss, are you listening? Boss?" Julian, on the other end of the phone, thought there was a bad connection, since given his boss" attitude towards work, he wouldn't be distracted.

"Mm-hmm, continue.” "Boss, are you feeling down?" Julian seemed to sense a hint of unhappiness in Hans' tone, but he couldn't possibly be unable to control his emotions, could he? Was he overthinking? But why did he feel that the boss' behavior today was a bit off? An assistant ran over and said something to Molly. Molly nodded, then said to Jaime, "The ceremony is starting." First up, President Jay, who disliked Molly the most, went on stage. He hypocritically welcomed Molly on behalf of the entire board, then subtly issued some warnings, implying that the entire company's staff was watching her performance, hoping she would do well and not disappoint everyone.

"Don't mind him," Jaime stood next to Molly, their silhouettes looking particularly harmonious.

"I don't give a hoot about him." Molly had long been fed up with this director. Today in the meeting room, he embarrassed her in front of everyone. He obviously disliked her, but now he was saying these welcoming words. He was such a hypocrite.
