Join the team

Quinn's appearance was like a breeze, gently blowing away the awkwardness frozen in the air.

He stepped in, his striking blue hair glistening eerily in the faint light like the deepest ocean in the night sky, the colour in stark contrast to the bewildered expression on his face.

"You... What's going on with you guys? Did I come at a bad time?"

The words came out with a touch of innocence, a touch of puzzlement.

Lisbeth Dawson's gaze couldn't help but be drawn to that blue hair, secretly marvelling in her heart.

Then his gaze swept over the other two, Theobald's auntie red flaring like a blaze, and Quinn's burgundy colour feeling both new and speechless.

As for Baird, his head was a vibrant green, like a vast Siberian steppe.

Lisbeth Dawson silently commented in her mind, "These three, are they maverick hair dyers?

Quinn seemed to have noticed Lisbeth Dawson's subtle change in expression, and coughed slightly awkwardly, inquiring, "Erm, this young lady is?"

The voice contained politeness and curiosity.

Lisbeth Dawson returned to her senses, the corners of her mouth hooked into a gentle smile as she graciously introduced herself, "Well, hello, I'm Lisbeth Dawson, you can just call me Lisbeth!"

Her words were simple but cordial, invariably closing the distance between them.

Quinn sniffed, the blankness on his face replaced by gentleness, "That's fine, Lisbeth."

This simple change of address added a little more familiarity to the atmosphere.

However.

To the side, Theobald witnessed this scene, and the anger in his chest nearly burst through his throat.

His shiny red hair also seemed to shine even brighter due to his anger, "Woman, I worked so hard to bring you back, and you don't even thank me?"

This angry roar came out of nowhere, like a summer thunderstorm, shaking the air in the room.

The three people who were laughing and talking were startled by this sudden outburst, Baird was the first to react, and couldn't help but laugh softly, "Pfft! Haha! Big brother, you're not jealous, are you Lisbeth, it seems that big brother really fell in love with you at first sight?"

The words were full of teasing, yet there was no lack of sincere curiosity.

Theobald's anger instantly escalated, even the roots of his ears were vaguely red: "Get the fuck out of here, the drugging thing hasn't been settled with you yet!"

These words were loud and clear, full of brotherly bickering and displeasure, but also vaguely revealing an unspeakable care.

The atmosphere in the room was once again subtle, with different waves of emotion tumbling through each man's mind.

Turning around, Theobald faced Lisbeth Dawson in an uninhibited stance, the corner of his mouth curling into a cynical smile, "Hey woman, where do you live? I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a lift!"

His voice carried a bit of overbearingness that could not be refused, yet it was inexplicably gentle.

Lisbeth Dawson's body trembled slightly at his words, and the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere was like being doused with a pot of cold water, replaced by a heavy and depressing silence.

"I don't have a home anymore."

She replied softly, her voice as thin as the smoke that was about to dissipate, transmitting a sense of sadness and despair.

Theobald's expression froze instantly at his words, and his eyes, which always shone with a sly light, showed a hint of apology and surprise at this moment, "I'm sorry."

These three words, coming out of his mouth, actually seemed extraordinarily heavy.

Lisbeth Dawson gently shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "I don't blame you, it's my fault, oo..."

Tears slid down silently, her sobs seemed to tell of endless sadness, and it was as if time stood still at this moment. After a long time, Lisbeth Dawson's emotions gradually calmed down, her tear-stained face barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Just then, Theobald suddenly broke the silence, "Join us."

These words, like a sudden ray of light, illuminated Lisbeth Dawson's grey world.

Lisbeth Dawson raised her tear-stained face in surprise, confusion mixed with disbelief in her eyes, "Huh?"

There was both surprise and disbelief in her eyes.

Looking at that tear-stained but still stubborn little face, Theobald's heartstrings were inexplicably touched, but he quickly regained his usual indifference and said in a pretence of relief, "Tsk, dirty, little flower cat, report to the personnel team tomorrow! You're welcome to join, however, you have to remember that we don't keep any useless people here."After speaking, he turned away hurriedly, his pace was so fast as if he was trying to run away from something, no one noticed his slightly reddened and rolling face, giving away a hint of his inner panic and shyness.

Baird witnessed all of this, and his heart couldn't help but flip over with complex emotions.

Big brother Theobald, that character who was always known for his iron hand, actually accepted an outsider so easily.

Thinking back to his own joining back then, he could be said to have gone through a life and death test, and could not help but wail, "Oh! Brother! This ... really makes one feel a 10,000 point blitz!"

The words were flirtatious, but the resignation was genuine.

Quinn laughed helplessly, but his eyes were full of doting on Lisbeth Dawson, he tenderly said to her, "Lisbeth, don't listen to his nonsense, I'll take you to the dormitory."

Through the busy and noisy streets, the group arrived at a small hidden courtyard behind the Tong Quan Building.

The moment they stepped through the door of the courtyard, Lisbeth Dawson felt like she had entered another world -

Several three-storey exquisite villas surrounded into a perfect circle, in the centre of which stood a magnificent five-storey and six-roomed building, just like a big castle in a fairy tale, imposing but not losing its warmth.

What is even more amazing is that behind the villa area, there are nine 1001-storey high-rise buildings that are hidden straight into the sky, and due to the blockage of the previous viewpoint, the real appearance is not revealed until this moment, which makes people cannot help but sigh with emotion about the depth of the power of the Tongquan family and the financial strength.

Lisbeth Dawson looked up at the extremely luxurious villa complex in front of her, and the corner of her mouth involuntarily twitched with a few moments of disbelief, "Brother Quinn, are you really sure that this is just a dormitory?"

Her voice was filled with confusion and surprise.

Quinn smiled, that smile warm and inclusive, "Yes, this is our dormitory. Well, it's getting late, so why don't you go in first and get some rest, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep."

With that, he gently nudged Lisbeth Dawson with an older brotherly care in his movements, and then the heavy door slowly closed, shutting out all the noise of the outside world.
