Henry's words seemed to remind Gloria of something.
At first, she also thought it was impossible. The two of them were worlds apart; how could they be together?
But it wasn't until Sean came to the house that she accepted the fact.
Now it seemed there really was a problem here!

At the hotel.
The next day, Sean woke up.
He rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had been in a dream.
Everything was in the dream, including his boss looking at him gently.
After waking up, he realized he had drunk too much.
For so many years, he had always been quite disciplined and rarely drank too much. This time, he really had let loose.
"Mr. Maddox," Jane arrived.
"What's going on?" Sean asked, confused.
He didn't remember a thing about last night.
"Mr. Maddox, you were drunk last night, but I didn't know where your home was, so I took the liberty of sending you to a hotel."
"Where is my stone!" Sean suddenly realized his beloved stone was missing!
Jane calmly took it out from the side. "Mr. Maddox, are you looking for this?"
Seeing the stone, Sean impatiently grabbed it and held it tightly in his palm.
It was like he was holding a treasure.
Jane observed his expression. He really seemed to have a special fondness for this stone. Who exactly gave it to him?
Was it really a man?
"Mr. Maddox, is there anything special about this stone?" Jane asked.
"Nothing special, I just like it," Sean responded coldly.
Soon, Rachel was called to the manager's office.
"You haven't been working very hard lately! It's been so long, and Theresa is still in our department. What are you good for?"
Rachel was startled. She quickly said, "Manager, I really did my best. I always give Theresa the more difficult tasks, but she completes them all, including recovering the twenty million dollar balance this time. She acts like she's running on pure adrenaline every day. I really don't know what to do!"
Deep down, Rachel felt that Theresa's work was actually quite good. She completed everything well every time.
But unfortunately, the higher-ups didn't like her and were bent on firing her, hoping to make her quit out of frustration.
Bam!
The manager slammed his hand on the desk.
"Let me tell you, Ms. Ward, if Theresa doesn't leave, then you pack your bags this month! Why do you think I let you climb to this position?"
Rachel lowered her head. "Yes, Manager, I understand."
She left the office with a heavy heart. Looking outside at Theresa, who was still talking and laughing with colleagues, she felt even more upset.
Why did she have to endure all this while Theresa was so happy?
