"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

A Lifetime With You

Jamie was still looking at Hazel with her eyes full of adoration when she heard Neil speaking to her. Turning around, Jamie thought about the accounting department where she had to stay to spy on a few people.

"You're not going to believe how f-cked up the accounting department is," Jamie said.

Neil sent her a warning gaze. "Language."

Hazel was still in the room and they did not want her to learn anything inappropriate.

Jamie followed Neil's gaze and instinctively put a hand on her mouth. At this time, Hazel lifted her head and Jamie suddenly felt a little guilty about the words she had said.

Afraid that she might accidentally speak an inappropriate word, Jamie went over to Neil's table and sat down. "Neil Mo, I have been working with the Accounting Department for months. Every day, I have to suffer from your staff's bullying. After going through all these, don't you think that I deserve your forgiveness?"
