Chapter 6 Hugh Got the Offer
“Like what?” Skye felt that Dawn was outrageous.
“Like the way you just did, straightforward and violent.” Dawn could hardly accept what Skye did.
Skye didn’t want to explain either. She turned on her phone and played a recording.
In the recording, Penny repeatedly emphasized that it was Dawn who requested Skye to take care of her meals every day and arrogantly told Skye to mind her own business and not interfere with anything else.
As an experienced finance worker, Skye was vigilant in protecting her interest. She had made a habit of recording conversations, always prepared to take precautions against her bosses and colleagues. Unexpectedly, the habit helped her a lot today.
As Dawn listened to the recording, his frown grew tighter, showing a mix of shock and anger.
After a good while, he finally spoke with a softer tone, “Penny was introduced by my aunt. I was afraid that you would replace her as soon as you moved here, and that wouldn’t go well with my aunt. Even if you really don’t like he

Skye could tell that Dawn was in a difficult position, but she didn’t believe such a household assistant could take good care of Marino.
“Then let’s install surveillance cameras at home,” said Skye.
Dawn knew what was on Skye’s mind. She was worried that Penny might do something bad to his grandfather.
“You have a say in our family affairs,” Dawn said while starting the car. He would drop Skye off at work.
Dawn’s company wasn’t far from Skye’s workplace, but he didn’t want to get himself exposed. He stopped the car at an intersection and said asked Skye to get off there.
Without thinking much, Skye got out of the car.
As soon as she entered the office, Rainie intercepted her.
“I have some good news to tell you. Hugh went for an interview at Soleil Corporation yesterday, and the HR manager seemed to have a positive impression of him. If Hugh gets the offer, it will be a huge leap for him.”
“Your business is none of my concern. Don’t talk to me about it anymore.” Skye pushed past Rainie and was about to leave.

“Hey, stop. I haven’t finished yet. I heard you put your apartment up for sale online. Why don’t you sell it to Hugh and me?”
“Can you pay the full amount?” Skye asked.
“Well, we can’t, but we can do installments. If Hugh works in Soleil Corporation, he’ll get an annual pay of at least 120 thousand dollars. We can easily afford that!”
“I want the full payment, no installments.” Skye firmly refused.
“Hey, don’t be this mean. You had a relationship with Hugh,
after all. Can’t we discuss this?”
“Rainie, listen up. Even if I sell it at a lower price, I will never sell this house to you guys.”
Skye walked past Rainie toward her office area, leaving an infuriated Rainie stomping her feet.
The apartment boasted convenient transportation, good decoration, and a competitive price. Rainie badly wanted that house, but she couldn’t get it. How could she not get frustrated?
At the CEO’s conference room af Soleil Corporation, people were having the morning meeting.

The executives exchanged glances, speculating what Dawn had been up to last night. He seemed to have stayed up all night.
Did he work overtime? Yet he didn’t leave late yesterday.
Did he spend a night at a bar? He wasn’t into such things.
Did he play video games all night? He never played games.
After thinking about various possibilities, everyone unanimously thought that Dawn must have hooked up with the woman last night because there was a strand of long hair stuck to his shoulder, swaying along with the cool air from the air conditioning.
It seemed like Mr. Grant had indulged himself too much last night. Therefore, everyone just made a briefing and left Dawn to have some rest.
However, rumors about Dawn picking up a woman spread quickly throughout the entire company.
Returning to his office, Dawn saw Skye’s investigation report on his desk.

He rubbed his forehead and forced himself to skim through a couple of pages. When he read about Skye living with her ex- boyfriend, Hugh, for three years, his hand visibly trembled.
“Why did she marry me since she originally had a boyfriend?
And they even lived together for three years,” thought Dawn.
Dawn felt anger well up in his mind, and his face turned dark in an instant.
Although he and Skye were only married in name, he couldn’t accept her living together with another guy before.
Dawn had a relationship with his ex–girlfriend for five years, but he had never crossed that line. He really couldn’t tolerate premarital cohabitation.
Greedy, pretending to be innocent, being two–faced, and telling lies… All those negative words flooded Dawn’s mind instantly.
He remembered Skye’s joyful expression when she learned about their divorce six months later.
Did she want to get 100 thousand dollars within half a year and then leave with her boyfriend?

No, more than that, but another 100 thousand dollars on the loan agreement.
What a cunning plan.
Dawn clutched his hand holding the investigation report, and it was about to be crumpled into a ball.
At that moment, the HR manager knocked on the door and entered the office.
Dawn paused, slowly raising his head. “What’s up?”
The HR manager was taken aback by Dawn’s expression. He stammered, “Mr. Grant, we interviewed two candidates for the senior network engineer position yesterday. But Mr. Duran, who manages this project, asked for a leave. He asked me to make the decision. I don’t really know how to assess the technical competence of engineers, so… I brought their resumes here. Could you please make the final decision?”
After speaking, the HR manager placed the resumes in front of Dawn, and he immediately left.
Dawn was annoyed. Why did he have to worry about such trivial matters?
With a glance, Dawn saw the name at the top of the resume, and the applicant’s name was Hugh Merchant.

Hugh Merchant, male, 24 years old, majored in Network Engineering from an Ivy League university, and he once worked as a technical manager at Walford NetCom.
This person was Skye’s ex–boyfriend?
His technical skills were just at the average level, and all the certificates he got were fancy but impractical.
Dawn glanced at the address section, and it matched the same address Skye had provided on her personal information sheet.
The two of them were indeed living together.
Dawn felt relieved that he hadn’t sought a partner with his real identity. Since Skye was so vain, it wouldn’t have been easy to get rid of her once she knew his true status.
After contemplating for a moment, Dawn picked up the phone and called the HR department, instructing them to hire Hugh and offer him a monthly salary of 10,000 dollars.
As soon as Hugh received the job offer, he immediately informed Rainie.
Of course, Rainie wouldn’t miss the chance to show off to

Her voice was loud enough that almost the whole company could hear.
Skye was distracted for the entire afternoon, making several mistakes in her calculations. She struggled until the end of the workday.
Max called her, saying that their grandmother had just been admitted to the hospital and had taken a turn for the worse.
Skye immediately rushed to the hospital.
Anna was in critical condition, and she urgently needed
surgery.
After negotiating with the hospital for a long while, Skye managed to pay a deposit of 100,000 dollars for the operation, and the hospital scheduled her grandmother’s

Since Max was preparing his graduation thesis, Skye sent him back to school while she stayed to look after her
grandmother.
