Generally, a writing...

*Chapter 22: Restless*

Just as work was about to end, a new task unexpectedly popped up.

Andrew looked at Anson, whose eyes were full of sincerity, with an expression of disbelief. Despite this, he shrugged slightly and said, "Honestly, who likes working? Come on, I'm not one of those bloodsuckers from the...

*Chapter 21: Special Treatment*

"Trust me, it's not worth it for a mere four hundred thousand dollars."

Andrew’s expression remained blank, as if he were serious, but his words were laced with sarcasm. He was clearly a dry humorist, exuding a casual charm.

Anson gently raised his chin, looking at Andrew wit...

Chris’s focus was entirely on the phone call, oblivious to the stillness around him. He had his left hand pressed against his ear, trying to catch every word from the other end of the line.

### Chapter 14: Playing Along

Playing along—why take it seriously?

Although the comparison isn't entirely fitting, it's much like "The Emperor's New Clothes." Everyone knows it's just a show, and they're merely playing along as the audience. There's no need to expose the lie; just let the performance continue.<...

Vroom, vroom vroom vroom—
