As If I've Never Loved (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“You’re in luck. There just happened to be a vacancy.”
“Oh…!”
Eloise, who had been nervously clasping her hands together, suddenly flushed with color.
Even her bright blue eyes now sparkled with starlike joy.
Inside an office tucked away in a glass bead factory in Brighton.
Mrs. Dunn, who introduced herself as the factory’s financial manager, said she had started here years ago as a day laborer and worked her way up to her current position.
Her confident demeanor throughout clearly conveyed her pride in the factory.
“The workers are all women, so it’s quiet and the work isn’t hard. The owner is famously generous, so competition for positions here is fierce—you’ve arrived at just the right moment. Honestly, you won’t find a better job anywhere else in this city.”
“…”
“If you’d missed this chance, you’d have ended up somewhere much tougher—like a meat-processing plant, for instance…”
Despite her stern appearance, Mrs. Dunn turned out to be quite the chatterbox, and Eloise listened attentively, nodding earnestly all the while.
The woman’s words flowed on without end.
“But these days, people are lining up even for jobs at meat plants. Workers keep pouring in endlessly—not just from the countryside, but even from across the border. Now you see just how lucky you are, don’t you?”
“…Then, if so many people wanted this job, why offer it to me?”
Eloise asked cautiously, her voice lowered slightly.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
