Inodded and took the document to the marketing department.
Upon arrival, I saw several young and beautiful women with exquisite makeup. After asking a colleague, lead they were online streamers hired by the marketing department.
Our company mainly focused on cosmetics production, not only with our own brand but also our sales channels, with nearly a hundred counters in Stormland, Charles and to expand our online presence.

After handing the document to the marketing manager, I was about to leave when I spotted a familiar figure
Ashley was dressed in a chic suit, her once sleek black hair now styled is way curls, adding a touch of femininity. Her makeup was lighter compared to the other women, but her far skin and debate textures gave her a natural beauty.
She saw me too and looked surprised
|“Ivory.” Ashley walked over and greeted me sadly
“Why are you here?” I found it hard to believe and even suspected that she might be investigating me and trying to get close to me.
“I saw that this company was hiring music streamers. Since I’m a music major, I thought I’d give it a try. It would be nice to earn some living expenses while studying abroad.” Ashley bit her lip, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at me.
The company probably aimed to hire talented streamers, build their fan base, and then start promoting their products. This was quite a popular business model in the country.
Ismiled faintly. “You’re quite hardworking. Has Rowan gone bankrupt, so you have to work so hard?!
At the mention of Rowan, Ashley’s expression changed, and her eyes flickered. “I don’t want him to think I rely on him for everything. He helped me a lot with my study abroad. T can’t just depend on him for living expenses too
“You don’t have to save him that bit of money” 1 penuinely felt sorry for Ashley’s naive thinking that saving money for a man could prove her genuine intentions to be with him.
She had already gone through so much to be with Rowan Couldn’t he be more magnanimous?
Ashley lowered her head.

Ivan answered, “Go tell Rowan It has nothing to do with me.“‘
Aslay on the couch staring at han’s reply, I felt something was off. Was he still crazy about Aychley?
Three minutes later, Rowan called, startling me
ben tanswered, his tone was cold “You saw Ashley?”
“Yeah, she’s working part–time as a streamer!” responded ambiguously, “Rowan, you like a self–reliant woman who works hard for themselves, don’t you? Is you should give a home to a strong woman like her.”
“Ivory, talk properly Rowan became angry.
“You called me,” I replied irritably “Instead of talking nonsense with me, why don’t you buy your little woman acar I don’t want to face the moral dilemma of whether to give her aride when see her caught in the rain someday!”
How was so angry with me that he was silent for awhide finally, he said, “Alright, I will right now!”

Looking through the peephole, I was startled by the person outside.
Why was James here?
Reluctantly, Topened the door. “James, why are you.
“I came back here to work Jean gave me your address and asked me to bring you these candies which she didn’t manage to give you on her wedding day,” James held up a beautifully wrapped box with a smile,
Jean didn’t stop meddling even though she was pregnant. Despite her severe morning sickness, she still had the energy to worry about me and her brother.
Not wanting to be rude, I said, “Thank you Come in and have a seat.”
James looked a bit apologetic. “Am I disturbing you?”
“Not at all come in and sit!” I couldn’t bear to say that James was a bother. I understood his feelings, but he had never crossed any lines, so I couldn’t be too harsh.
My phone lit up with a text from Jean. “Ivy, when James came back last time, he sold his place there. He has to find a place to stay temporarily, so let him stay with you for a few days. You can’t not help, or l’er!”
I was exasperated and replied, “How can a single man and woman live together?”
Jean responded, “Isn’t your place a two–bedroom apartment? Don’t worry, my brother won’t stay for free. Let him do the laundry and cooking. Once he finds a place, he’ll leave immediately!
