He then sent her a text message. [Do not hire guys.][???] Avery replied.[I will hire a man, and you will hire a woman. Alright?][... You really are petty, aren't you?][I'll be upset if you say that.][You can't be so sexist in your workplace! Anyone who qualifies should get the job, no matter their gender! Can we not be so stubborn?][So you are okay with me hiring a female assistant?]Without hesitation, Avery replied. [Of course! What's there to worry about? You have plenty of pretty secretaries in your office. When have I ever said a word about them? Not only are your secretaries pretty, but so are most of your female employees. I can't help but suspect that your company is hiring them for their looks.][I don't know. I've never placed such a request with human resource. I will go ask them about it.][Save it! I'm just chit-chatting. It's going to be embarrassing if you actually ask others about this! I think your company is filled with capable people who have good look

Madam nodded. "I know, but the question right now is whether Irene will be bullied by the other children at school.""If they dared try, she would surely fight back. I have already told her everything," the old woman said.Madam shook her head. "The school won't allow fighting. I'll take her to school later and talk to her teacher.""Okay. Let Irene try this school and see whether it works out or not. If it doesn't, she doesn't have to attend kindergarten. She won't learn much from it, anyway." The old woman cared about Irene. "She is used to playing with children in the chapel. Now that she's locked up at home all day, she's really depressed. She used to sleep well. She would fall asleep as soon as she lay in bed. Now, she can't sleep. Even if she does fall asleep, she wakes up in the middle of the night. I'm really afraid that she will actually be depressed if this continues.""I know that she's unhappy, but, until everything has been clearly investigated, she must remain that wa

"Why do you seem a little unhappy about that?" Elliot asked with a smile. "Hayden is still on your side!""I'm not unhappy. Wouldn't I be less worried if you had a good relationship with the children? When they have holidays, you can be the one who takes care of them, while I just do nothing but comment on all of you." Avery could not help but smile. "Since you like to take care of the children so much, I will have to give you an award at the end of the year. Award of The Best Daddy!""Thank you! I don't need the award. The children are mine. Caring for them is my responsibility and obligation." Elliot looked relaxed. "The children also won't need us for much longer. Hayden doesn't need us at all anymore. We need him, in fact. Layla also doesn't need us that much. If we weren't so strict with her, don't you think that she would run out and play the moment she had a holiday? Didn't she keep asking for Eric to stay at our place to play with her during our honeymoon? If it weren't for h

"He hasn't found a suitable one yet, right? Let's wait until he finds a girlfriend!" Layla's gaze returned to her papers. "Mommy, you're suddenly so serious!""Am I?" Avery was afraid that her attitude would scare Layla, so she immediately started to laugh. "I'm only worried because Uncle Eric doesn't have that many holidays. If you spend all your winter and summer breaks with him, he won't have time to find a girlfriend. This would affect him quite badly."Layla pouted."You also know that Uncle Eric's parents are forcing him to go on blind dates. They really hope that he will quickly find a girlfriend and start a family. After all, he is not young anymore." Avery subtly implied the age gap Layla and Eric had between them."Mommy, why do you think the same way everyone else does? Uncle Eric is not old at all. If he doesn't want to find a girlfriend and doesn't want to get married, you can't force him." Layla looked at Avery once more, feeling injured on Eric's behalf.Avery smile

There were a dozen resumes.They were all applying for the position of Elliot's assistant.Avery casually opened one of the resumes to have a look. The candidate's education and work experience were excellent.If this person were to hand in their resume to her, they would undoubtedly be able to continue straight to the interview.She opened another resume. After going through it, her feelings were the same as when she had looked through the first one.This candidate was as exceptional a lady as the first. If she wanted to be Avery's assistant, Avery would have barely had a reason to refuse.Avery guessed that the rest of the dozen resumes were also excellent. If they were not, Elliot would not have sent them to her.She was suddenly in a situation where she did not know whom to pick.She let her mind go blank for a while, then realized that she still could not sleep. She unlocked her phone and continued looking at the resumes.After going through the dozen resumes, her eyes we
