Tina’s face flushed red from embarrassment. She felt so ashamed, she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and shove her head inside. “I left my house quite early today and I didn’t get to eat breakfast yet. That’s why…”“You can’t go on your day with an empty stomach!” Madam Langford admonished with a stern look. She turned to Samuel and said, “Samuel, take Tina somewhere to eat. I’ve decided! From now on, she’s my future granddaughter-in-law. As long as I’m alive, nobody can treat her poorly! Do you understand me?”Feeling helpless, Samuel had no choice but to oblige. “I understand, Grandma.” Then, he glanced at Tina and said, “Tina, follow me now.”“Okay.” Tina heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, Madam Langford called out to her again.While holding Tina’s hand, the old woman removed the jade bracelet on her wrist and slid in on Tina’s instead.“This jade bracelet is passed down for generations in the Langford family. It’s yours now,” Madam Langford exp

The implication was obvious: Tina was a nobody.The co-worker who had spoken up for Tina earlier changed her demeanor instantly. “Why are you sitting here, then? Since you’re an intern, you should act like one! Go and print these materials for me. Don’t make things difficult for everybody.”Having said that, she dumped a huge pile of documents in front of Tina.“These, too.”“Tina, go and get me coffee.”“Since you have nothing important to do, deliver these items for me by courier!”Just like that, everyone was ordering Tina about and forcing her to run errands for them.Tina was exhausted. If she didn’t stop by to get herself some bread, she would’ve fainted from hunger.“What’s wrong with you?! I asked you to print out two copies for me, not one! Besides, you didn’t give me the document I requested before. I need that document for the meeting later! Are you trying to get me fired?”The woman shouted at Tina angrily as she threw all the printed documents on the floor.“Pi

Cindy’s complexion turned pale upon the realization. She wobbled back and forth, struggling to stand still. The manager was shocked. She supported Cindy from falling and yelled, “Call the ambulance. We have to send Miss Young to the hospital! Call the police, too. Send this thief to the police station now!”Once again, Tina tried to explain herself. “I already told you! I didn’t steal the bracelet!”“Stop trying to defend yourself! You can talk to the police instead!”Today was truly an unlucky day for Tina. It was just one thing after another for her! After a long day suffering from unfair treatment, she ended up in the police station. She felt miserable.There were a lot of people in the police station. After she was detained, the officers made her wait on the long bench to await interrogation.Tina was fraught with worry, deeply anxious. Just then, her phone rang. A kind and gentle voice spoke through the receiver.“Tina, guess who am I?”After a whole day of pent-up frus

Deep down, Tina was moved and grateful towards Madam Langford’s kindness. It only took one meeting for the old lady to be so emotionally invested in Tina.When they arrived at the hospital ward, Madam Langford was already waiting anxiously for their arrival. She held Tina’s hand and caressed them gently, concern in her gaze.“Are you okay? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”“Don’t worry, Mrs. Langford, I’m alright,” Tina joked. “I saw a fight on the road, so the police wanted me to make a statement at the police station. I didn’t tell you on the phone because I didn’t want you to worry.”“Are you telling me the truth?” Madam Langford found it difficult to believe Tina’s story. She threw a skeptical glance at Samuel and pursed her lips. “Did he make things difficult for you in any way? Tell me everything!”“I’m telling the truth. Look, there are no injuries on me at all!”Tina ws lying. She wanted Madam Langford to have peace of mind, so the truth couldn’t be divulged.“Since I’

“You thief! How dare you come back here after what you’ve done?”“She’s so shameless! She’s even late for work!”Her colleagues gossiped non-stop without any reservations. Too lazy to explain herself, Tina ignored them and went to her post.“Why isn’t she giving us any reaction? God, she really is shameless!”Seeing that Tina was unfazed, they stopped and started ordering her around.“Tina, you still haven’t printed the copies from yesterday! Stop lazing around and start working!”“Get me a cup of tea now!”Tina did as told without complaining. During lunch break, the manager walked into the office and made an announcement. “Everyone, Mr. Carter’s arriving later. Be prepared to welcome him!”“What? Did you hear that? Mr. Carter’s coming! I’ll be the one sending refreshments into the office later. This is my only chance to be with him!”“What are you getting so worked up for? You sound so desperate!”“Mr. Carter is almost as handsome as Mr. Langford. He’s very mild-mannered, t
