Yesterday.
As Sean left the private room, he said something to Jeremy.
"I think the guard position suits you."
Then Jeremy, out of nowhere, brought a gift and apologized to Sean.
Sean said he would not be able to even guard the main gate if he continued talking nonsense.
Willow did not think much about it back then, only finding it a relief for her anger.
'But now that I think about it, Sean's confidence and Jeremy's humble attitude...
'It seems there's something more to this...'
Confused, Willow turned to look at Fion.
"Mom, what are you talking about?
"What on earth is going on?"
Willow asked in a whisper as she frowned.
"Haha!"
Fion laughed and put the groceries on the table.
"Isn't there something your dad's been trying to solve all this time?
"I saw him so frustrated that he struggled to sleep all night, so I thought I'd ask Jeremy for help.
"Guess what? Hahaha! We saw him in a security uniform guarding the main gate. Haha!
"He said he wanted someone else to be the guard dog, but he ended up in the position himself. Isn't that funny?"
Fion laughed after she finished speaking. She felt so elated.
She was now in a good mood and even found Sean less annoying.
Willow was dumbfounded after hearing that. She glanced at Sean.
Sean seemed calm and unsurprised.
It was as if he already knew about it.
"Isn't Jeremy up for a promotion?
"Even if he lost the promotion, he shouldn't be demoted to security guard..."
Willow was confused.
"Haha! Who knows?
"He said something about the higher-ups wanting him to start from the bottom up and refresh his work skills...
"F*ck off. Isn't it obvious that he offended the wrong person?"
Fion was smart. She got to the bottom of it in a few words.
Sean almost wanted to laugh.
'Fion isn't that stupid either.'
"Offended the wrong person..."
Willow muttered to herself. Then she turned to look at Sean again.
'While having dinner with us, Jeremy was so smug as he was a few steps away from a promotion.
'But after offending Sean, he got demoted and is reduced to a security guard.'
'Is this a coincidence?
'Or is Sean the one he can't afford to offend?'
"Sean, does this have something to do with you?"
