When Nora heard this, she countered with a question of her own: “Why not?”
Damon didn’t believe her at first.
“How can that be?! Captain Johnson has already invited Q to join the team so many times, but Q didn’t
respond at all.Besides, because you are so cold and distant, Ruth said that your status among the
Smiths may not be very high, so maybe you can’t assign tasks to Q.Because of that, she told us not to
give you any trouble…
Therefore, it is impossible for Q to have fixed it!”
Her status wasn’t high among the Smiths? She wouldn’t be able to get Q to do something for her? Nora
looked at Ruth again.
Ruth stood where she was uneasily and immediately said, “Damon, those are just my private
speculations.Don’t word it so bluntly.”
She felt really embarrassed.
Damon actually hadn’t been resentful toward Nora initially the day before.
It was under Ruth’s purposeful guidance that he had slowly become brainwashed and felt that working
for the special department was an honor and that it was every citizen’s duty to serve the special
department! This had led to him becoming resentful toward Nora.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had said, “I am going to talk to her tomorrow.Even someone like you, who has just returned from
abroad, is dedicated to the country and the homeland.As the young lady of the Smiths, she comes from
an even better family background than you and enjoys an even higher social status, so why doesn’t she
have a sense of responsibility?”
His words had displeased Ruth.
She sighed and replied, “Everyone has their own difficulties.Interpersonal relationships among the
wealthy are also complex.Some people don’t hold any work positions in their families.Even though they
say that they are from rich families, they just look a bit more glamorous on the surface, that’s all.Who
knows what it’s like for them in private…”
Damon had understood what she meant at once.
He said, “You mean Nora’s status among the Smiths may not be high enough? But isn’t she the only
daughter of the previous head of the Smiths? The current head of the family is the previous head’s
nephew, you know!”
Ruth smiled and looked at him.
“There you go.The current head of the family is the previous head’s nephew.This means that they aren’t
real siblings…”
Damon immediately felt like he had understood something.
He nodded and said, “I get it now.”
That was how it had led to the conversation just now.
After Ruth made that ambiguous statement, Damon went on.
“At first , I’d thought that you must be quite pitiful at home, so I didn’t ask you for help anymore.Neither
have I ever forced you to make any contribution to the special department.But for you to make things
difficult for Ruth when you haven’t even done anything for the department…You’re too much! Are you
upset that she managed to get Y to help?”
As Nora listened to him prattle on, she kept her head down and continued to use her phone, ignoring
him.
She had always been someone who preferred to let her actions speak for themselves.
Meanwhile, Damon was still complaining.
“I have always liked Q and Y, the two of them are every programmer’s idols.I also believe that Q is a
patriotic person, it’s just that you have never been willing to convey our messages to him, that’s all!
Never mind that you aren’t introducing him to the team, but how can you still be jealous of other people?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was really noisy.
Nora became even more annoyed.She pressed the Enter key on the phone.Then, she raised her head.
Next to them, Ruth had already slowly opened her mouth.
She said, “Don’t say any more, Damon.Everyone has their own lifestyle, we mustn’t impose our own
standards on others.Being strict with ourselves and being lenient with others is the best quality one can
have.”
She spoke patiently and used her words methodically to guide everyone’s thoughts.
On top of that, her voice was sweet and pleasant, and she even had two dimples on her face when she
smiled.
This immediately made everyone around them find Ruth even more approachable.
The contrast between the two women was simply too strong.
At this moment, Johnson and Morris also came over.
Seeing the group of them there, Johnson frowned and asked, “What are all of you gathering around here
for?! Slacking off?”
“No…”
Damon walked over and quickly explained what had happened.
