Dominic nodded. He glanced around the apartment and, seeing no one but Jessica, asked with curiosity, “Where is everyone p>
“My ex–sister–in–law and Lily’s aunt took her to the amusement park,” Jessica said with a pout, her tone sulky.
Dominic laughed. “They didn’t take you along? You’re not angry, are you p>
Jessica’s cheeks flushed at once. She stammered, “W–Who says I am p>
Dominic smiled and shook his head. She really was like a child who had not grown up yet. At the same time, she showed an unusual kind of composure. No, this was not simple early maturity. It bordered on excess.
Dominic cleared his throat. “Sit up straight p>
Jessica wore casual, lightweight clothes at home. Whether intentionally or not, she leaned forward slightly, bending at the waist and facing Dominic head on.
She grinned and slowly straightened, blinking at him as she did.
Dominic looked startled. “What’s wrong with your eyes p>
Jessica’s smile froze. Then she snapped, “That was a flirtatious look. Don’t you know what that is p>
Dominic was rendered speechless. He chose not to argue and went to wash up instead.
After a while, he came out and said, “Just eat something simple for lunch. I’m going to the office p>
“Didn’t you get fired? Why are you still going?” Jessica asked, genuinely confused. She knew nothing about workplace matters.
“I need to handle the termination and collect my things,” Dominic replied.
“Oh, then go ahead. Bring me something to eat on the way back p>
“I’m too lazy to do that,” Dominic said calmly. “Order delivery yourself p>
Jessica snorted. “You’re so stingy, Dominic p>
“That’s not stingy.” Dominic smiled, picked up his phone, and headed for the door.
As he left, he added casually, “When the delivery arrives, tell them to hang it on the doorknob. Open the door after they leave p>
Jessica’s eyes lit up. ‘Dominic still cares about me p>
She replied cheerfully, “Okay p>
By the time Dominic reached the office, it was almost 11:00 a.m.
In addition to packing his belongings, he planned to say goodbye to Abigail and the others.
As he approached his desk, he noticed a slender figure sitting there.
‘Could it be Autumn p>
He walked closer and saw a cold, glamorous face with an air of authority. It was Jewel.
The sight surprised him. What was she doing in his seat?
The employees nearby worked in silence, hardly daring to breathe too loudly.
Jewel flipped through Dominic’s notebook. Inside were carefully kept notes on work experience, sales techniques, and even the daily motivational slogans Abigail liked to shout.

Dominic’s handwriting was neat and elegant, and Jewel soon became absorbed.

When she read the line, “Pay your dues today, sleep your way to the top tomorrow,” a faint flush crept onto her face for no clear
reason.
When Dominic approached, his own heart skipped a beat, followed by a surge of effbarrassment.
‘Damn it!‘ This felt like someone digging through a man’s browser history. Some things were not meant to be seen.
He rushed forward and snatched the notebook back. His voice turned cold. “Going through someone else’s personal belongings without permission. Is that your standard of professionalism, Miss Wright p>
Jewel frowned when the notebook was taken. When she realized it was Dominic, her expression brightened. “You finally showed up p>
“What does that have to do with you p>
Jewel coughed lightly. Her smile faded as she adopted a stern expression. “Work starts at 8:30 a.m. Why did you sleep in until now p>
Dominic sneered, “Miss Wright, you seem to have a poor memory. I’m no longer an employee of JewelMed p>
