Lucy’s POV:
When George arrived at the underground parking lot, I took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat.
Boswell happened to come down with George.He stared at me playfully before getting into his car.
Without even uttering a word, George drove out of the underground parking lot.
Now that Helen wasn’t around, he became silent.It looked like he didn’t want to talk to me.
Because of the gossip I heard at the launch today, I decided not to beat around the bush.
I held up my phone to show him the news and introduction of the Affleck family in Washington that I
found on the Internet.
"How are you related to him?" I asked, pointing at the man in the photo.
"He is my grandfather," George replied while glancing at the photo for a second.
I was surprised that he was so frank about it.
"Does Helen know about that?"
He turned his gaze towards me and asked, "Does it even matter if she knows? My grandfather is
himself.The same goes for my father, and the same goes for me."
I scoffed at him and responded, "If it really doesn’t matter, then why are you hiding it from her?"
"I wasn’t hiding anything.It’s just there hasn’t been any need to mention it.Our relationship hasn’t
reached that point yet, okay?" George replied unhurriedly.
He was surprisingly calm at this moment.
"Jerk!"
I shouted, unable to contain my anger.
What did he mean by saying that their relationship hadn’t gotten to that point? Didn’t she deserve to
know more about the man she was seeing? Or was he actually implying that he wasn’t serious with
Helen, and so she didn’t need to know?
I’d ever wanted to do was to enjoy a full life.
As long as I didn’t break any laws or violate codes of morality, I could do whatever I liked.
I believed that people should enjoy their lives and do whatever they liked, provided that they didn’t
violate any laws.
Above all else, one’s own happiness should be everyone’s priority.
And that was exactly what I’d been telling Helen.
However, there were certain people that one shouldn’t provoke such as George.
This man’s family was so prominent that Helen shouldn’t have even made friends with him.
When the car finally arrived at Zhester Technology, I quickly got out of the car.
But after a few steps, I turned around and approached the driver’s side.
"George, I don’t think you and Helen are right for each other.You should break up with her.It will be
better for the both of you."
As a relationship expert with a huge fan base online, I had seen many dramatic love stories, so I had
developed an ability to weigh the pros and cons of a the bush.

better for the both of you."
As a relationship expert with a huge fan base online, I had seen many dramatic love stories, so I had
developed an ability to weigh the pros and cons of a relationship and predict its future development.I
merely said what I said to protect Helen.
From the look in George’s eyes, I could tell that he was angry.
"It’s between me and Helen.I can handle it just fine, so don’t meddle."
"Okay, then tell me this: do you really love Helen? Or are you just with her for fun"
As Helen’s best friend, I knew her better than everybody else.She might seem insensitive when it came
to love, she was actually quite sensitive.
If George weren't taking their relationship seriously, it would devastate her! I would never allow such a
thing to happen to my best friend!
"I don’t have time to play love games," George replied.
I stared into his ayos for a long time, and gleaned that he wasn’t lying.
It made "So, you’re serious about her? You’ll protect her no matter what, right?"
"On my honor," he said with a nod.
"Remember what you said today.Because if you dare hurt her, I will hunt you down to the ends of the
earth no matter how powerful your family is!"
Boswell’s POV:
The second I entered the company, I heard many of the employees gossiping about George and Lucy.
Rumors were spreading about in the company that George was quarreling with his girlfriend, Lucy.
And now, he was trying to apologize to her.I also saw the photo of them that the employees took in
secret.
In the photo, George was leaning against the car with a straight face, while Lucy was standing in front
of him and scowling at him.
Clearly, she was angry.
George was standoffish and intimidating.
Nobody in the company ever dared to be angry with him.
This photo made the rumor that Lucy was his girlfriend all the more convincing.
The discussion in the company’s chat room was quite intense.
"George appears to be serious this time.He’s always been particular about how he separates work and
personal life, but he’s made exceptions for Lucy many times!"
"I must say, she’s quite good at leveraging resources, but I don’t think she likes George that much.Last
week, I saw her drinking with a man at a bar."
While I was in George’s office, I read the employees’ private discussions one by one to him.
Then, I asked tentatively, "Is it true? Do you really like Lucy?"
George was currently working at his desk.He didn’t even bother to look at me when he said, "No, I
don’t like her.Don’t you have anything better to do, Boswell?"
His question took me aback, and I retorted, "Indeed, I have a lot of free time at the moment.We’ve
successfully launched the new product.The people in the technical department can finally rest until the
end of the New Year’s vacation."
George shot me a cold glance.
"Sounds like you really are very free.Submit the product development plan for next year to re by this
Friday."
The smile on my face disappeared and turned into disbelief as I looked back at him.
"On, come on, man! Do you really have to squeeze me like that?"
George grunted, "The nature of a capitalist is to squeeze the value out of his employees.You say that
all the time, don’t you, my friend?"
"What? I don’t say that! Jane says that a lot," I replied at once.
Feeling that George was getting annoyed at me, I quickly came up with an excuse to escape.I would be
an idiot if I really stayed to write the damned product development plan.I had already booked a
luxurious trip for the entire technical department in advance.
The crow would be taking their annual leave in advance and going on a sojourn abroad.I must say, I
must be the most generous and considerate leader in distance!
Helen’s POV:
I went back to the law firm with Anya and Phil.
The New Year’s Eve was fast approaching, so most of the lawyers who had been on business trips all
over the world came back to submit their year-end reports.
The merger and acquisition team led by Anya was unprecedentedly lively.
The M&A case was going smoothly.We had basically completed the review of all legal processes.
After the new year, we planned to go to Smart Technology’s headquarters in New York to do our due
diligence.
At the group meeting, Anya briefly discussed the planning and key tasks for next year.
As usual, she was in charge of the case, while Phil, Mattie, and I would support her.
Once the meeting was over, we began discussing our plans for the New Year holidays.
During every other time of the year, we were usually very busy.
The only time we got to relax was during the New Year holidays.
"I’m going home to visit my parents," Anya said.
Feeling down, Mattie complained, "My whole family is going abroad.Ugh, it’s so annoying! Traveling
with your family is really a punishment."
Suddenly, Phil turned to me and asked, "What about you, Helen? What’s your plan?"
I shook my head and chuckled.
"I haven’t really decided yet."
In fact, I didn’t have a place to go.My mother was hospitalized at a private hospital.
If there weren’t any special circumstances, she couldn’t accept any visitors, nor could she be
discharged from the hospital.
"I’ve already made an appointment with some friends to take a self-driven tour this year.We’ll go along
the highway and stop at random destinations.It’ll be a free and fun journey, I’m sure.You wanna come
with us? I can introduce some of my friends to you as well," said Phil.
His words seemed to be hinting at something.
Right after he said that, everyone in the office became excited.
"You really are something, Mr.Mason!"
"Just say yes, Helen! Phil’s friends are all elites in their respective fields.Getting acquainted with them
is no easy feat!"
I chuckled awkwardly before replying, "I’m sorry, Phil, but I get carsick easily.I don’t want to throw up all
over your car and sicken you."
I didn’t want to be a part of an office romance.
All I wanted to do was to work hard and increase my qualifications, so that I could handle cases by
myself and make a lot of money as soon as possible Phil didn’t get mad.
He just turned to the others and said, "Anyone who wants to take part in the road trip can tell me
anytime, but there’s only one seat remaining, guys."
Everyone giggled and some volunteered before we started talking about something else.They didn’t
take this incident to heart
