I heard Sean press the button again. Soon the elevator door opened.

He got into the elevator.

The elevator door closed for a while and I was sure he left. I turned to Ming behind me and apologized, "Brother Ming, I'm sorry. He is angry with you because of me."

"It doesn't matter."

Ming said.

I looked up at him. He was looking at me through transparent lenses. His eyes were gentle.

He seemed to see the tears in the corner of my eyes. His voice softened. "Sean may really care about you, so he's rude to you. I've been in Jessop Family for so many years, and I've never seen him do that to anyone."

"No." I smiled bitterly and shook my head. "He got everything he wanted when he was in Jessop Family. No one would refuse and disobey him."

"It's not just him, it's Jessop Family. After all, they were born in such a family..."

Ming said, slightly lowering his eyelashes.

I could see the depression in his eyes.

I wanted to comfort him, so I said, "Brother Ming, don't be sad. I'm just the same as you. I didn't live in Carter Family since I was a child. Then Molly and I went to the same university. It was because we looked the same that I got noticed. At last I knew that I was not alone..."

I said something about myself.

Ming listened very carefully. Finally, he said, "thank you for telling me about your personal affairs. Sean doesn't value you. It's his loss."

It was late at night. After saying goodbye to Ming, I went home.

I lost sleep again that day.

The next day, I went to work with dark eye circles. When I entered the office, I saw my colleagues talking together.

I didn't want to hear it, so I went back to my seat.

But when I sat down, all of them looked at me in unison.

I looked at them. They surrounded me. A woman asked me, "June, do you have sisters?"

"I..." I wanted to say no subconsciously. But I hesitated and said, "yes."

Those colleagues were very surprised. They kept asking me, "is your sister going to marry Sean, the president of the Giant group?"

I was nervous but nodded as if nothing had happened.

They all said, "June, I didn't know you were rich."

"Yes. You'll be Sean's sister-in-law from now on."

"Can you ask Sean to introduce us to the single rich young men around him?"

"And me!"

They said in my ear.

I waited for them to finish before I said, "I'm sorry. I have a bad relationship with Carter Family."

But they didn't believe me. They thought I was making excuses not to help them.

They complained, "we won't argue with you about vice president. How about you introduce some to us? Are you afraid that we will marry a better man than you?"

Listening to the speculation, I was silent for a while and then said, "if I am rich, why do I work here?"

As soon as I finished, they were silent.

They mumbled and left.

After they left, I opened the website to search.

I found it seemed that Carter Family leaked this to the media early.

Carter Family's shares had rebounded.

But I just took a look. These two families and these people have nothing to do with me except Sherry.

It was the day of the company's annual meeting.

Before this day, everyone in the company was looking forward to it. I got some orders. Drawing and communicating with customers took up all my energy.

I forgot the annual meeting at all.

It wasn't until Daniell asked me that morning when everyone was going to pick up the dress that I remembered.

I should dress up for such an important event.

But it was too late for me to prepare now.

I took a look at the work on my desk and said in embarrassment, "or I won't go."

"No way. The company stipulates that everyone must go. If you don't participate, you will be fined."

Daniell said seriously.

I frowned, and now I lived entirely on my own pay. I didn't use Carter Family's dividend.

I just spent tens of thousands of dollars to pay the property management fee at the end of the year.

I was going to cry.

I hesitated at the thought that I would be fined. I looked at the plain suit I was wearing and said, "then I'll go."

"OK." Daniell looked at me and said, "I know you forgot it. I've got the dress ready for you."

"Ah?"

When I was surprised, Daniell took me out.

He drove me to a mall and took me to a shop in the middle of the first floor.

When the clerk saw Daniell, she said warmly, "Hello, sir. The dress you ordered has been changed and delivered."

When I was in doubt, I saw the clerk take out a sapphire blue dress from the shelf. The dress was very unique and had a long hemline. Although it looked conservative, it had a high slit beside the right leg, which was sexy.

The clerk took out a pair of high heels to match it.

I looked at the high-heeled shoes and was shocked. "This heel is too high."

"It's OK. I'll hold you today and I promise not to let you fall."

Daniell looked at me, smiling softly.

I knew he prepared it in advance. In order to live up to him, I could only bite my teeth and put it on.

This dress fit me very well. It showed my figure.

The slightly stacked neckline revealed a small seam in front of the chest.

"How much is it?" I wanted to pay when I put it on.

"I give it to you. You won't embarrass me, will you?"

Daniell looked a little angry. Although I knew he was pretending, I had to thank him.

He took me upstairs. There was a shop selling jewelry and headwear upstairs.

They could do my hair for free after we bought the accessories.

The clerk selected a small hairpin for me. Because I had short hair, she just did my bangs. But I looked a lot more beautiful.

She made up for me and matched me with a beautiful sapphire necklace.

But it was just a handicraft, so it was not expensive.

It was more than 5 p.m. after that.

He took me out of the mall. Although I was wearing a coat, I could still feel the "appreciation" from the men around me.

Daniell seemed to feel it, too. He put his hand on my shoulder. I was surprised and heard him whisper, "No, I want to announce sovereignty. If other men talk to you, I'll hit them."
