Chapter 3743: Chapter 3745

“Do you want me to have your company’s leader fire him tomorrow?” Mason asked after a moment of contemplation.

Veronica’s body stiffened as she stared at the person in front of her. His words reminded her of what he had done to the Cross family in the past.

Although Daniel’s father’s embezzlement was not Mason’s doing, he had used it as an opportunity to break up with Veronica.

This incident became the catalyst for their eventual separation.

Taking a deep breath, Veronica said seriously, “No.”

“Is it because he’s your ex-boyfriend?” Mason narrowed his eyes, his expression showing a hint of displeasure. “Do you still have feelings for him?”

“No, my feelings for him had already ended when we broke up years ago,” Veronica said.

“Was it out of pity?” he asked again.

“No, it wasn’t pity,” Veronica continued to deny.

“Then why do you want to work with him?” he asked.

“It’s not that I want to work with him, but rather I can empathize with his helplessness,” Veronica said.

“Helplessness?”

“Maybe you don’t have this feeling, but as an ordinary person like me, I experience it quite often.

Sometimes, even if I haven’t done anything wrong, I still have to bear all the blame and be forced to accept the other person’s demands just because they have a higher status, position, or money. Mason, I just don’t want you to use your wealth and status to oppress innocent people,” she said.

He looked at her with a heavy gaze. “Do you often get treated like this?”

His gaze made her heart beat faster, as if all the blood in her body rushed to her face.

“I wouldn’t say often… but you know, I work at a talent agency now, and people there are under a lot of pressure, so sometimes they can’t help but get angry and blame others,” Veronica said.

“If that’s the case, how about leaving the company? If you want to work, I can help you find another job,” Mason said.

“No need, I’ve finally adapted to my current job, the salary is good, and I’m about to start my senior year. I can continue to intern at the company and gain work experience. It will make it easier for me to find a job after graduation,” Veronica said.

“Why?” he asked.

She paused and looked at him in confusion.

“Why choose a more difficult path? There’s no need for that,” he said.

In Veronica’s mind flashed the conversation she had with Daniel before leaving the company today.

She licked her dry lips and said, “I just hope that my abilities can become stronger. I don’t want to be a parasite. And…I hope that in the future, when I stand by your side and someone introduces me, they won’t just say, ‘I am so-and-so from Mason,’ but can say my name!”
