Chapter 335
Susan eyed Ben’s smile, feeling an ominous premonition.
But she couldn’t believe that Theresa would forgive Thomas so easily.
Susan took out her phone, intending to call Theresa.
But she hadn’t even had the chance to dial.
Her phone suddenly lit up with a message.
“Susan, I’m engaged.”
Then, there was a picture of Theresa’s hand, adorned with a ring.
Susan, puzzled, thought, ‘What’s going on?‘
Ben, passing by, glanced at her phone and chuckled. “Does getting engaged count as making up?”
Susan ignored his question.
She looked at Ben suspiciously. “Do you know something?”
“I do know something.” Ben said calmly, “But you indeed lost the bet, let me remind you. You have to agree to something unconditionally.”
Susan, swallowing her pride, said, “Tell me what you know first.”
Ben briefly recounted the incident involving the painter.
After he finished, Susan looked at him as if she had seen the devil.
Ben smirked. “You must accept a lost bet.”
Susan, somewhat gloomy, glanced at him and asked, “What do you want?”

Theresa called Susan early in the morning, her voice sweet. “Susan, I realized I didn’t fill you in on the details yesterday. Actually, what happened yesterday was all a misunderstanding.
Susan’s eyebrow gave a quick twitch, then she responded, “I know it was a misunderstanding
It wasn’t just a mental realization for her; her whole being felt the deep understanding.
Susan was feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Why was it that in the midst of Theresa and Thomas’s falling out, she was the one who ended up getting
hurt?
“You know?” Then Theresa realized. “Mr. Landor told you, didn’t he? Hey, since we have a holiday
coming up, Thomas and I are planning a trip.”
“That’s great. Enjoy yourselves.” Susan said, her voice tinged with tears.
“Just hang tight at home, and don’t miss me too much.” Theresa said cheerfully and hung up.
Susan could only let out a long sigh as she listened to the beep of the disconnected call.
Thomas and Theresa went on their trip just like that
Not only that, but they also flooded social media with countless romantic posts every day.
Susan was almost tempted to unfollow both of them.
That day, with a blank expression, Susan liked Theresa’s posts mechanically. Then, setting her phone. aside, she turned her attention to the project plan on her desk.

After the success of “Starry Romance“, their department planned to launch another game offering a high level of player freedom.

Chapter 335
Unlike the last one, which was a modestly budgeted dating sim.
This time, they planned to create a vast and immersive online game world.
Developing an online game was much more complex.
Establishing character classes, crafting the game’s settings, and balancing various in–game statistics and parameters.
There were numerous factors and elements that required–meticulous consideration.
After reviewing the entire plan, Susan announced the start of recruitment.
This time, their department needed to recruit quite a few people.
They were primarily looking for people in specific areas of expertise.
Game planners, game balance designers, and a large number of entry–level programmers.
Once Storm Group’s recruitment notice was issued, they immediately received a flurry of resumes.
After all, Storm Group, besides its annual campus recruitment at several universities, hardly ever
opened recruitment to the public.
This large–scale recruitment plan was a rare occurrence in years.
Susan just issued the command for recruitment.
But she wasn’t involved in the details initially.
She was responsible for setting requirements, and HR would help replace the most suitable candidates.
Until the final round of interviews, HR brought a group of candidates to Susan.
Storm Group’s HR was very professional, and generally, the candidates they selected were without major issues.

Susan only intended to give a quick, perfunctory review.
HR brought candidates to Susan in batches.

They finally brought in a few game planner candidates. “Mrs. Miller, these are the newly recruited
planners.”
“I see,” Susan said with a kind smile, about to offer some formal encouragement to the newcomers.
Then she spotted a familiar face.
Susan was startled. “It’s you…”
It was a girl with glasses, slightly plump, and with a soft, scholarly appearance.
She nervously tugged at the corner of her mouth, her body trembling involuntarily.
Seeing this, Susan said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Since you’ve all made it into our company, you’re certainly experts in your respective fields. Just focus on doing your best from now on.”
Susan did not reveal the girl’s identity, and the girl slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Susan finished speaking, HR took the new planners away.
Susan watched the girl’s retreating figure, her expression thoughtful.
At noon.
Everyone went to the canteen for lunch.
But the girl didn’t go. Sneakily, she took out her lunch box, not daring to use the microwave, and instead, she found a quiet spot on the balcony to eat.
Although the food was cold, the empty balcony seemed to relax her.
She was eating her meal with great focus.

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.
“Azure.”
The girl stiffened, turned around, and saw Susan with a warm meal, smiling at her.
This girl was none other than the author of ‘Starry Romance.”
Known as Azure Sea.

Previously, when the game was slandered for plagiarism, it was Azure Sea who stepped forward to
clarify things.
“Mrs. Miller,” the girl put down her food nervously. “I’m sorry, should someone like me not come to Mework? If I’m not suitable, I’ll…”
Susan shook her head. “You’re here on your merit, there’s nothing unsuitable about that.”
“But I…” A hint of pain flashed in the girl’s eyes.
But…
She suffered from severe depression.
The world was vast.
Yet she felt as small as a speck of dust.
She had wanted to die slowly in her own world before.
But a year ago, Susan found her and bought her novel.
Susan had promised not to reveal her identity, so even when the game was severely questioned, Susan never came forward to declare her as the original author.
Such behavior from Susan, in turn, gave her immense courage.

The girl herself couldn’t fathom where such boldness came from, a boldness that led her to post such forthright and incisive comments online.
After that, she even played the game out of curiosity.
Initially, she sold her novel simply as a means to provide financial support for her parents.
However, after experiencing the game, an inexplicable emotion stirred within her.
The game
game went well beyond the scope of her original work, yet it was undeniably rooted in her story.
At that moment, she felt an extraordinary sense of renewal.
She realized she wasn’t worthless after all. Her writings had the potential to be transformed into something marvelous. This revelation ignited in her a desire to create more, to write more captivating stories, to develop more intriguing games.
Yet, hampered by her condition, she struggled to communicate with others, not to mention work with
them.
So, despite the growing yearning within her, she remained hesitant to take that final step.
Until…
She saw the recruitment notice from Storm Group.
She learned that this team was under Susan’s direct management.
The memory of her previous enjoyable collaboration with Susan sparked a bit of bravery in her.
So, she decided to apply.
And she made it through the interviews, and now became a part of Storm Group.
But deep down, the girl harbored lingering doubts and fears.
Could someone like her truly function effectively in a normal job?

“No “buts” about it,” Susan reassured her with a kind smile.
The girl, momentarily taken aback, felt the tension in her back ease slowly.
Ms. Miller was, as always, the epitome of kindness.
