“You know that, right? I just can’t help thinking that your boss is being too hard on you, and I say that objectively. Even the busiest department here at Larson Group wouldn’t force their staff to work overtime for seven days straight.” Natalie gave him a sweet smile.

“I’m all right. I’m willing to put in extra hours for my dreams.” Sebastian sighed again. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly. What else could he say at this point?

Johanna had just got home from her morning run and was making breakfast in the kitchen.
