“My ex–boyfriend got a job offer from that company, and they offered him 10,000 a month.”
Thinking of this, Skye was angry.
“He quit his job and has stayed at home playing games for half a year. I really don’t understand what’s wrong with the boss of Soleil Corporation. They actually hired such an unambitious person and gave him a competitive salary.”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Dawn choked on the food on hearing that.
Skye quickly poured him a glass of water.
“You do think it’s outrageous, right? Ten thousand a month! Your monthly salary is only six thousand. Why don’t you try applying for a job in Soleil Corporation as well?”
Skye’s words drove Dawn to cough even more severely.
His face turned red, and it took him a good while to recover.
“But didn’t you say you had no contact with your ex- boyfriend? How do you know he got an offer?”

“His current girlfriend told me. The three of us were college alumni. I work with that girl in the same company, and we were once good friends.”
Dawn was somewhat surprised.
It seemed that the woman he saw tonight wasn’t Skye.
“Isn’t it awkward for you to work in the same company as her?”
“That’s why I’m thinking of a job hop.”
Dawn didn’t say anything further. He finished eating the hot dog in silence and took a shower.
When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Skye was still texting someone.
Dawn said that he would be sleeping in the study tonight, and then he grabbed his laptop and headed to the next room. It looked like he would work late tonight.
Skye didn’t pay much attention to it. She grabbed her nightclothes and went to the bathroom.
Sitting in the study, Dawn turned on his laptop but didn’t flip through any pages for quite some time.

Then he picked up the phone and called the HR manager.
Receiving a call from the CEO at this moment, the HR manager was nervous. Since he joined the company, he had only exchanged five sentences with the CEO, three of which happened earlier this day.
“Mr. Grant, you’re still up at this late hour?”
“The candidate we decided to hire, Hugh, huh? Reduce his salary to 2,000 per month, citing a leak of salary information. If he doesn’t agree, find someone else.”
The next morning, Skye woke up early and prepared a hearty breakfast.
During breakfast, Marino suddenly asked, “Dawn, where did you sleep last night?”
Dawn’s face stiffened for a second as he glanced at Skye.
“Answer me. Why are you looking at Skye?”
“I had work unfinished, so I slept in the study so as not to bother Skye.”
“You are a newlywed. You should spend more time with Skye but not your work.” Marino said after a pause, “How about you guys go on a honeymoon?”

“A honeymoon?” Dawn looked at Skye. “Is this your idea?”
“No, I said nothing.” Skye didn’t know how Marino found out that Dawn didn’t sleep in her room last night.
Dawn clearly wasn’t convinced.
“It’s not Skye’s idea. I just want you to have a baby soon. If you don’t get your act together, I won’t spare you.”
Being urged to have a baby in the early morning, Dawn quite lost his appetite.
Penny stood at the door, observing their expressions, and she recalled the prenuptial agreement she saw in Skye’s room while she was doing cleaning.
If Marino knew that the two people were planning to divorce in half a year, would he be completely disappointed in Skye?
Then her niece would have a chance, right?
Skye left home and went to the hospital. She asked for a leave of absence.
Anna’s surgery was scheduled for next week, and she needed to undergo a series of preoperative examinations this week.

After morning rounds, Skye met Charles Seiler, Anna’s attending physician.

Charles was an elegant and handsome doctor. It was said that he had studied abroad, making him one of the outstanding young doctors in the hospital.
He patiently explained Anna’s condition to Skye.
His patience and tenderness captured the attention of the nurses nearby.
“Dr. Seiler has been chatting with that woman for quite a while. If Dr. Stone catches sight of it, we’ll have another interesting show,” one nurse said with a mischievous tone.
“It would be good if she sees it. Dr. Seiler is still single and has nothing to do with her. Everyone has an equal chance to pursue him.”
“So, you’re interested in Dr. Seiler too?”
“I’m not the only one who is interested in him. Dr. Seiler is so excellent that any woman would like him, right?”
“Hush, here comes Dr. Stone.” The two nurses quieted down and pretended to be busy.
Katrina passed by the nurses‘ station and glanced at the

nurses who had been gossiping moments ago. “What were you talking about?”
The nurse awkwardly smiled, “We were just saying how patient Dr. Seiler is. He has been chatting with that patient’s granddaughter for half an hour.”
Katrina looked toward Charles‘ office, only to see a young girl sitting across from Charles.
The girl had her hair tied up in a high ponytail with fair and tender skin, giving her a pure and innocent look.
Katrina had no idea what the girl had said, and Charles suddenly grinned.
The grin was like the sunlight in the warm winter and the refreshing breeze in the scorching summer, which soothed the watcher’s soul.
It was Charles‘ smile that drew Katrina’s attention. She had pursued him for three years during her study abroad. But no matter how hard she tried, Charles remained indifferent toward her.
Katrina’s face visibly cooled down.
“Who is that woman?” Katrina asked.

“She’s the granddaughter of the patient in Bed 23.”

“The one with terminal cancer?” Katrina recalled. “She hasn’t paid the full amount for her surgery yet, right?”
“She has only paid a deposit, and she still owes the hospital over 80 thousand dollars.”
“Well, do not arrange her grandmother’s surgery until she pays the full amount of medical fees.”
“But she is Dr. Seiler’s patient.” The nurse didn’t expect Katrina to be so jealous.
“But I’m in charge of scheduling the operating room, so naturally, I prioritize patients who have paid in full. If there are any problems, let Dr. Seiler come to ask me.”
Skye learned about Anna’s severe condition from Charles, and she couldn’t help but well up with tears.
Charles handed her a tissue and comforted her, “Don’t worry. As long as we proceed with the surgery as soon as possible, we can control Anna’s condition.”
Skye nodded, expressing many words of gratitude to Charles. She then exchanged contacts with Charles.
In the afternoon, the real estate agent called Skye. There was

Skye immediately rushed back home, but after trying to open the door for a while, she realized that the lock had been changed.
A neighbor informed Skye that her boyfriend had brought a locksmith here to change the locks yesterday.
Skye was furious. She immediately called Hugh. To her surprise, Hugh had even changed his phone number.
At Soleil Corporation.
Skye came to the front desk to inquire about Hugh’s department, but the receptionist had no idea who Hugh was.
Skye became anxious, and she wanted to go upstairs directly. Of course, the receptionist didn’t allow her to get in.
She claimed that she needed to touch up her makeup in the restroom, and then she took the opportunity to slip in.
Soleil Corporation had 25 floors in total, and Skye started searching from the fifth floor, where the technology department was located.
Without an access card, she climbed the stairs. Going from the fifth floor all the way up to the fifteenth floor, she still

She was exhausted, and she waited near the elevator, hoping to catch a ride by chance.
At that moment, the elevator behind her opened its door, and a middle–aged man stepped out, followed by someone else.
But as soon as the man saw Skye, he quickly retreated into the elevator and immediately pressed the close button.
