"My wife's watch was bugged; her lover installed it. I sued her lover." The day of the UN negotiations, I noticed my translator wife had a new electronic watch on her wrist. She said it was a gift from her "close friend" to monitor her health, implying I wasn't as thoughtful or caring as an outsider. I found it strange, so while she napped, I secretly examined it and discovered a listening device inside. After urgently reporting it, I used my own professional credentials to offset my wife's mistake. Her close friend ended up on the wanted list and died in a car accident while fleeing. My wife said he got what he deserved, and she became even more attentive toward me. But then at work, she deliberately leaked my translation materials, causing me to be taken away for investigation as a suspected spy. "Nathan Harper, that listening device was clearly planted by YOU! You were jealous of Alex and wanted him dead!" "I truly regret leaving Alex to marry a vicious man like you. You should be six feet under apologizing to Alex!" When I opened my eyes again, I'd returned to the day her close friend gave her that watch. This time, I didn't meddle. Instead, I signed my name on the divorce papers. --- "Nathan Harper, can you stop being so uptight? Would Alex really try to hurt me?" Emily's impatient voice snapped me back from the shock of being reborn. Our commotion caught the attention of other team members. "Team Leader Bennett, that electronic watch on your wrist doesn't seem to have been reported?" A sharp-eyed team member noticed the brand-new watch on Emily's wrist and kindly reminded her. Emily frowned. "This is a personal gift. I don't need to report it." "But that doesn't comply with regula—" Before the team member could finish, she cut them off sharply, "Enough. I'm the team leader for this assignment. If there's really a problem, I'll take responsibility." Hearing this, the team member could only look at me helplessly. I lowered my eyes slightly as memories from my previous life flooded my mind. I'd been worried she might make a huge mistake through carelessness, so I'd secretly checked that watch. After discovering the listening device, I'd traded my ten-year-earned promotion opportunity for her safety. But what I received in return was her insane revenge. I could never forget the horrific scene of being dragged behind a car for hundreds of miles. At this thought, a flash of hatred crossed my eyes. "Team Leader Bennett always knows what she's doing. We don't need to worry unnecessarily." Seeing I wasn't pressing the watch issue, Emily's expression improved considerably. Just then, Alex rushed over with his suitcase, out of breath. "Emily, take me with you. I haven't been abroad in ages." The team member didn't hesitate to refuse, "No way! You're not qualified to participate in such an important assignment."
"Besides, the personnel list for this trip was personally determined by the Director. Even Team Leader Bennett doesn't have the authority to add or remove people at will." A flash of displeasure crossed Alex's eyes, his tone as if defending Emily's honor, "Emily, I didn't realize that as team leader, you don't even have the right to add an accompanying staff member." "But why do your team members look at Nathan every time they speak? People who don't know might think Nathan is the team leader!" Emily immediately flared up. "Who exactly is the team leader—me or Nathan Harper? Since you all listen to him so much, I don't mind applying to the Director for a complete staff replacement!" Seeing Emily lose her temper publicly, no one dared say anything more. She softened her tone slightly and continued, "Alex needs this rare learning opportunity precisely because he's a contractor. Otherwise, how will he improve?" "So he's coming with us this time." "That doesn't comply with regulations." I finally looked up, my tone calm. Emily's face darkened again. She stared at me, her eyes full of undisguised fury and warning. "I know you're jealous of Alex, but don't bring personal feelings into work." "Anyone who disagrees can voluntarily withdraw from this assignment!" The team members' expressions all changed. This opportunity was extremely rare—everyone wanted to perform well to prepare for future promotions. Emily swept her cold gaze over everyone, her tone arrogant, "If you don't want to quit, then shut up. Otherwise, pack your things and get out of the Translation Institute." I suppressed my churning emotions and said nothing more. Emily Bennett, this time I won't meddle in your affairs. I want to see how this ends for you.
