“Julia even gave you some luxury travel tickets to thank you.”
Only after seeing me nod silently did Ethan Cole Reed breathe a sigh of relief and turn away.
He didn’t realize I was already utterly disappointed in him and no longer believed a single word he said.
Since he didn’t care about me at all, I wouldn’t play along with his games anymore.
I picked up my phone and replied to the headhunter I had contacted two weeks ago.
“I promised you last time. I’ll bring the core technology.”

As soon as I arrived at my desk, I saw the so-called luxury travel tickets Julia Snow had left for me.
A wrinkled gift voucher lay on the table.
“That’s Julia’s gift for Vivian. My aunt got a stack of those the other day.”
“Aren’t these just unwanted coupons? And you’re calling them luxury travel tickets?”
My colleagues glanced over, whispering mockingly. “Shut up. Vivian’s back.”
When they saw me return, they quickly turned around.
I sat down without a word, tossed the ticket into the drawer, and didn’t bother looking at it again.
Just then, the phone rang like a death knell. It was Ethan Reed.
