She looked at Terrence, who hadn’t left yet, and politely asked, “Mr. Guinn, do you want to come along?”
Terrence just nodded casually.
Lizzie settled in here and started to blend into the new environment.
At the same time, Johanna also started working at the factory.
The factory is also a subsidiary of Equinox Research Institute, but it’s just a factory.
Johanna was assigned to work in the factory, not doing office work, but working on the factory floor. The air in the factory was filled with the smell of oil mixed with iron shavings, very pungent.
She was really not feeling well, being pregnant made her feel sensitive, and she would run to throw up from time to time.
Once again, she felt sick and ran to throw up, and the female workers in the factory started gossiping about her.
“What’s the background of this newcomer? Look at that dress, hair styled like that, and even wearing red lipstick. If you didn’t know, you’d think she was a leader coming down to inspect.”
“I heard that you used to work at the research institute.”
“Did Equinox Research Laboratory come to us?”
“I heard that she used some means to push away Theron’s original partner and climbed into Theron’s bed herself. But because of this, she

lost her job and ended up here.”
“Really? She looks so quiet, doesn’t seem like the type to do something like that.”
“Would this bad guy write the word ‘bad guy‘ on his face? Don’t judge a book by its cover! You all better be careful.”
“Hey, what are we being careful about? She has high standards, only interested in guys like Theron. She wouldn’t even look at those rough and tough men.”
A few female workers laughed together.
Johanna came back after vomiting, just in time to hear these words. She clenched her fists tightly, calmed herself down, and walked in pretending nothing had happened.
The female workers saw each other teasing and pointing at Johanna with their mouths shut, then stopped chatting as if nothing had happened.
Johanna just acted like nothing happened and kept working.
Not long after, she started feeling uncomfortable again and went to throw up.
“So delicate, she’s already a professor’s wife, why is she still here trying to steal our job?”
“Hey, Theron doesn’t like her! I heard she trapped Theron into
marriage, used some shady tactics to get into Theron’s bed, broke up Theron and his partner. Theron doesn’t give her any money, so she has to work to support her child.”
When Johanna came back, they stopped talking again.

She clenched her fist tightly, she was kicked out of Equinox Research Laboratory, Lizzie had outdone her, she couldn’t stay in the workshop anymore, hanging out with those female workers.
Johanna thought for a moment, staring at the technical department in the factory, lost in thought.
By the time Johanna walked out of the factory gate in the afternoon, Theron happened to be bringing people to pick up the military supplies.
Johanna saw Theron with soldiers moving stuff, and the female workers noticed Theron too.
Theron was wearing a crisp uniform, standing tall and straight. Against the drab factory gate, he looked even more impressive.
“It’s no wonder she wanted to make a move, if I were younger, maybe I couldn’t resist either.”
“You can just brag, we can’t do such shameless things.”
Johanna bit her lip and walked quickly over.
“Theron.”
Theron then noticed Johanna and turned his head, keeping a distance from her.
“Off work?”
Johanna nodded and glanced back discreetly, looking embarrassed. “Theron, can I hold your hand?”
Theron also noticed those female workers behind Johanna, he frowned.
“If it’s not convenient, forget it,” Johanna said, biting her lip with a

pale face.
In the back, the female workers were giggling and laughing.
They were far apart, speaking softly. Theron couldn’t hear what they were saying, but from Johanna’s expression, he knew it wasn’t good.
Theron didn’t let her hold onto him, he just took the cloth bag she was carrying.
The female workers were slightly surprised when they saw this, “Theron came to pick her up after work?”
“Did you guys think Theron was being sincere with her?”
“Who knows, but Theron seemed pretty considerate towards her, specially coming to pick her up after work.”
Theron carried Johanna’s bag and had the soldiers bring the stuff back. They slowly walked back together.
“Is work still going well?”
Theron casually asked, with a calm tone that didn’t reveal much
emotion.
Johanna heard his tone soften, knew she was on the right track, felt happy inside, didn’t mention the troubles at the factory, put on a strong and calm demeanor.
“Yeah, it’s okay. Just at the beginning, I was a bit inexperienced. I’ll practice more and my skills will definitely improve.”
