"Oh, he must be quite old, right? Is he married? Single? Do you have a future with him? You're still young. This is the tto give
your all for your career and—"
"I'm single, Mr. Griffith," Ben interrupted and walked over. "Lilith and | are in a serious relationship. We're going to get married."
Howie looked at Lilith in disbelief when Ben said that.
"You should get to work! I'll go hby myself later and you don't have to pickup!" Lilith sent Ben away.
After Ben left, Lilith walked up to Howie and said, "Howie..." "Stop! | don’t want to hear it!" Howie did not look pleased. "Your
boyfriend is rich, so does that mean you're working just to pass the time?"
"No. I'm in a relationship with him, but I'm not sure if we'll get married in the future! | don't know what's going to happen in the
future, so | think it'd be better to depend on myself rather than relying on a man. If you get any jobs are that suitable for me,
please just go ahead and arrange them for me. I'm not afraid of tiredness or putting in the effort," Lilith assured.
Howie breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll hand you over to someone else if you're only doing this for fun because | don't have tto

"I assure you that I'll never treat work lightly."
Ben drove to the Sterling Group.
He initially asked for a week off, but Lilith could no longer enjoy herself after three days and insisted on reporting for work at her
new company.
As a result, he had no choice but to cut his leave short and go back to the company.
He went straight to Elliot's office when he arrived.
"I have a question for you and | want to ask for your advice." He entered the office and was stunned to see the vice president
there. Even so, he still went to take a seat on the sofa. "Don't mind me. My question isn't that urgent."
The vice president smiled and said, "We just finished talking. I'll be heading out now."
After the vice president went out, Ben immediately walked to the chair opposite
Elliot and sat down.
"Lilith's at work now. | did a check on her new company, >d#;XJR? it's pretty decent even though it's not a huge company." Ben
then asked, "Do you think | should invest in the company so it's easier to take care of Lilith?"
Elliot glanced at him. "Why don't you just give the money to her and tell her to stop working?"
"She refused! She accusedof insulting her using money," Ben looked helpless. "I just don't want her to work so hard, but she
thinks that | have ulterior motives and says that I'm out to destroy her."
"Are you sure it's that serious?"
"She toldthat her line of business is profitable only for younger people, and if she doesn't seize the opportunity now, there's
even less of a chance for her to succeed once she's older," Ben explained." She has a point. All | can do is just let her work."

"If you respect her that much, you should just ask her if she wants you to be her boss, " Elliot suggested.
"Oh... It's definitely a no from her."
"Then why bother askingif you already know the result?" Elliot picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
"It's quite early for a cup of coffee. Did you have trouble sleeping last night?" Ben leaned back in his chair and looked at him. "I
asked Lilith about Avery. Would you like to hear it?"
Elliot savored his coffee and turned a deaf ear to Ben's words.
"There's no one here right now. I'll tell you as long as you givethe green light..." Ben teased.
"Avery's in Ylore now." Elliot put down the coffee cup and looked at him. "I don't think Lilith knows about that."
The smirk on Ben's face disappeared. "Why is Avery at Ylore? Lilith only toldthat Avery was very rich and doesn't need to work
for the rest of her life. She doesn't know how or where Avery got that money though."
"Rich?" Elliot scoffed. "Do you think Lilith's concept of 'rich' is the sas ours?"
