After sending the message, he hesitated for a long time, the brightness in his eyes gradually fading. The other side didn’t reply to him; indeed, his request was quite unreasonable. Miles Jenkins trembled as he shut down his computer, then sat in his chair in a daze. He’s a person with a higher education; he wouldn’t let himself become someone else’s plaything. But the platform’s higher-ups made it clear that if he didn’t agree, not a cent of the tips would go to him, nor would he receive any salary. All his efforts were in vain. The campus was cold, with some time before the semester started, but there weren’t many people at home, so he stayed over the winter break and didn’t go back. He just hoped to pay off his sister’s medical bills, but who could have imagined the platform pulling such a stunt? Miles felt hopeless; he’s just an ordinary person, why did those people pay attention to him? His phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number, he felt a chill run through his body. "Miles Jenkins, right? Be at the address I give you within three days, or I’ll inform your principal about your streaming activities. You’ve discredited your school’s reputation and might face expulsion. I’d advise you not to resist; no man who catches her eye can escape." The man’s voice was icy cold, making Miles shiver all over. He couldn’t utter a word, just waited dumbly for the other party to hang up. At least the other party gave him a cushion period. He slowly closed his eyes, reopened his computer, and sent messages to Eleanor Hollis. But Eleanor never replied, his hope turning into despair. The next day, Eleanor, just logging on, received these messages from Miles, instinctively feeling something was wrong. She immediately replied to him, but there was no response from Miles. Eleanor was somewhat anxious; helping Miles was her grandmother’s request, her grandmother really liked that child, and she wouldn’t be able to explain if asked. Eleanor hurriedly went to Grandeur, only to be informed that Hugo Quinn had gone to a meeting, and at another company, no longer at Grandeur. She took a car to Meridian Group, heard the new president was a woman, and very capable. Arriving at the company’s downstairs, she saw someone who shouldn’t be there. Miles hesitated, standing under the company building, head down, full of anxiety. "I want to meet your president." The caller told him to come to Meridian Group, saying the president wanted to see him. He was now very sure, the one who wanted to keep him, was the president of Meridian Group. A person came out of the company, said a few words to the bodyguard at the door. "Go in, the president indeed has something to discuss with you, but is in a meeting now." Eleanor stood aside the whole time, her brow furrowed. How could a university student with no background become entangled with Meridian Group’s president, and those two bodyguards didn’t have kind looks; could this child be duped? "Hello, I also have business with your president, I’m Eleanor Hollis of Grandeur Group." She spoke immediately, stopping the bodyguard who intended to take him away. Eleanor Hollis of Grandeur Group? Isn’t that the president’s wife of Grandeur Group? The bodyguard didn’t bother with Miles any longer, respectfully came to her side. "So it’s Miss Hollis, President Quinn is having a meeting upstairs, I’ll take you up." Eleanor nodded, glanced at Miles, noticing his face was ashen. "Aren’t you going up too? Come with me." She pointed to Miles, who shivered entirely. The bodyguard was so respectful to Eleanor, apparently this person’s identity was not ordinary. He didn’t want any entanglement with these people, perhaps this woman was like Meridian Group’s president, harboring ill intentions. "Since Miss Hollis spoke, boy, you better agree promptly. Do you know who she is? Grandeur Group, understand? She’s the president’s wife of Grandeur Group!" The bodyguard’s tone was a bit domineering, looking at Miles with disdain. Miles stiffened, Grandeur Group? The most famous company in the country, many graduates want to go there desperately, he didn’t expect she was the president’s wife. She looks so young, so beautiful.... "No need for that, just tell me which floor their conference room is on, I’ll take this young man up myself." Eleanor stopped the bodyguard who wanted to further lecture Miles, looking somewhat displeased. The bodyguard was quick-witted, immediately responded, hurrying to guide in front. Miles stayed in place and looked at Eleanor a few times, probably felt the other wasn’t a bad person, lifted his feet and followed behind her. He was very anxious, tomorrow was when the medical bills should be paid for his sister, but the platform money hadn’t arrived. He had no choice but to come here. The two entered the elevator; he nervously clenched his hands, not daring to look at Eleanor, quietly stepping further away. "Why did you come here?" Eleanor didn’t forget; this person sought her help on the platform. But when she replied to the message, there wasn’t any response from him. She came to find Hugo Quinn for Miles’ matter, wanting Hugo to check Miles’ whereabouts, didn’t expect to meet him here. Miles thought he was hallucinating, was this person actively speaking to him? He looked around, realizing only the two of them were in the elevator. Eleanor was amused by his reaction, her lips curling up slightly. "Miles, I’m asking why you came here? Internship?" She actually knew his name. Miles swallowed, could this person be in cahoots with the president of Meridian Group? Why do these people’s tastes have to be so unique... "I’m the Hollis family’s young lady. Didn’t you say you had business with me? Later I replied, but you didn’t message back." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Eleanor frowned looking at him, this child’s wariness was indeed severe. Miles felt like thunder struck in his ear, looking incredulously at the other side. She’s the Hollis family’s young lady?! The miss who frequently tipped him?! Her identity was actually Grandeur Group’s president’s wife! Miles thought he might be dreaming, pinching his thigh hard, this was when he looked at her excitedly. "You’re that miss? Impossible, I thought people like you never watch live streams, yet noticed me, tipped me...." Saying this out loud might hardly be believed. Eleanor crossed her arms, looking at him casually. "What’s your business? Your message looked pretty urgent." Miles’ eyes instantly turned red; for so long, people around him were indifferent, the villagers just laughed at his family’s tragedy over tea, she was the first to care so much about him.
