Chapter 786:
Once it was revealed that the generous company was the Harris Group, many lost hope.
The Harris Group was famous for its high standards, hiring only the most exceptional candidates. Even those fortunate enough to be hired faced rigorous performance evaluations, with the constant threat of termination if they didn’t meet the company’s expectations. Netizens could only watch with envy.
When the time for the raffle arrived, Yelena wasn’t particularly interested, so she stepped out onto the deck for some fresh air.
Suddenly, Yelena felt a weight on her shoulders — a suit jacket. The distinct, refreshing scent of white tea, characteristic of Austin, lingered in the air. She turned around to find Austin gazing deeply into her eyes. Yelena met his gaze, her eyes glowing with emotion. Her long, curled eyelashes fluttered softly, like butterflies ready to take flight. Austin kept his eyes fixed on her, as though trying to pull her closer with his gaze.
“The air’s cold out here. Wear my jacket; it’ll warm you up,” Austin said in his deep, thrilling voice.
Yelena smiled and thanked him. “Thank you p>

Worries melted away, leaving only the profound beauty of the world and the quiet company of Yelena under the dazzling canopy of stars.
Unbeknownst to them, Maggie, with her phone in hand, hid in the shadows, snapping photos of their silhouetted figures against the starlit backdrop.
