At 22, I registered a fashion company in full.
Registered capital: ten million dollars. No parents, no friends—just my boss.
Legal representative: Sherlowill; majority shareholder: Jolene.
"I'm the beneficiary, and you're the scapegoat. This deal is a win for me."
My smug expression was undeniable.
"Don't get too excited. If the company goes bankrupt in a year, I'll argue you about it for the rest of your life."
Let them gossip for a lifetime.
At least we tried. We worked hard for it.
"But if I do go bankrupt, your fund will go down the drain."
"Well, it was meant for you anyway, so do whatever you want with it."
With a boyfriend like this, I've secured a lifetime of wealth and glory.

The day WE was established, Sherlowill graciously came to support me.
"Sherloy, smile more, okay? You need to shine!"
There were so many people here, and Sherlowill was still wearing his sour face.
The CEO of WE, Jolene, was definitely not happy.
"Sorry, Mr. Sherlowill, I just can't smile."
Sherlowill, unbothered, kept his sour expression.
"Don't make me slap you on the happiest day of my life."
But Sherlowill's sour face didn't fade.
"How many male models are you collaborating with for this company?"
"My collection this season is focused on male fashion, unlike your MU."
I rolled my eyes, almost sending them to the back of my head.
"What's wrong with MU?"
Hmph, how dare he even ask what's wrong with MU?
I, as a former employee, had a lot to say.
"Every promotional period, it's always full of beautiful women. The male models are the same few guys. I'm already tired of them."
Someone's face turned even darker.
Did my mouth just come from the gutter?

One year later.
The top luxury jewelry brand MU, in collaboration with the niche fashion brand WE, held a grand fashion show.
I was showcasing the clothes, and Sherlowill was presenting the jewelry.
On the surface, it was a symbiotic partnership.
In reality, it was a jewelry giant blatantly mentoring a rookie in the fashion industry.
During the preparation phase for the show, I was known for being the most sycophantic in MU.
Before, I was always timid, carefully considering every step before entering Sherlowill's office.
Now, I sashayed in with my waist twisting, wearing high heels, and confidently entered.
"Mr. Freckless~ I'm back~"
My restless fingers wandered across Sherlowill's face.
"This former employee of mine, please have some dignity."
Rejection was just a formality. He didn't really mean it.
A typical operation for an arrogant man.
"Mr. Freckless, you're being rude. Although I'm no longer an MU employee, we still have the relationship between superior and subordinate."
"Is that all we have? Just a superior-subordinate relationship?"
It was a good question, a clever one, but I wasn't answering.
In the meantime, Sherlowill, being the pervert that he is, took the chance to touch my hand and asked if I was cold.
Sexual harassment at the workplace... I finally encountered it!
But for the sake of my fledgling career, I had no choice but to endure it, retracting my hand calmly without making a scene.
However, Sherlowill's actions became more excessive.
I stood up in anger and sternly scolded him.
"Mr. Freckless, how can you do this? What would Mrs. Freckless think?"
Sherlowill froze for two seconds, looking confused and dazed.
But quickly, his mischievous nature returned.
"Don't worry, she's at WE right now. She won't find out. Come on, give me a kiss."
Sherlowill pulled me by the back of my head and tried to kiss me. I frantically dodged.
"Mr. Freckless, please don't. I'm a married woman."
But Sherlowill, the gentleman, wouldn't listen.
He grabbed me and pulled me into his embrace!
