NovelEnglishChapter 181 Coincidence After Levi left, the sudden silence in the house madefeel a bit out of place.
Under Eric's thoughtful gaze, I quickly made an excuse about needing to wake up early for work and rushed back to my room.
I didn't know why, but ever since we got our marriage certificate, it felt like something had changed between us. As I continued to think about it, I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well.
The next morning, I let out a long sigh as I stared at the dark circles around my eyes in the mirror. Seeingin this exhausted state, Eric couldn't help smiling in amusement.

Avoiding his gaze, I stubbornly replied, "I did it on purpose. After all, I'm just a regular employee in Team 2 of the Business Department now. I need to look the part." I had planned everything. To avoid being recognized, I decided to disguise myself. So today, I didn't wear any makeup, tied my messy hair into a casual bun, and put on old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses. For my outfit, I went with a loose-fitting casual set and sneakers.
To top it off, I planned to carry a canvas bag. This way, the chances of people recognizingshould drop significantly.
Eric scannedfrom head to toe and nodded with a chuckle. "You definitely look different from before." I lifted my chin proudly. "Of course! Otherwise, all my efforts would be in vain." In my past life, Jack was always too focused on Elsa and ended up neglecting the company. Because of that, the company was full of parasites who embezzled funds, intentionally directed projects to rival companies, and took kickbacks.
Without realizing it, the company gradually deteriorated, and when Cornell Group struck, Brown Group never recovered. This time, I was determined to expose the corruption at its core.
If I walked in as the heiress of Brown Group, all I'd hear would be flattery and empty pleasantries.
I rejected Eric's offer to driveand took the most ordinary car in the garage to work instead.
Since I had already requested no special treatment from Dad, my onboarding process was the sas any other new employee.
I signed the contract, did a walkthrough of the department, and met with the team leader.
Since I was just a junior employee in Team 2, I didn't get to meet the business director. Instead, I was led straight to my team leader's office-Harvey Zimmerman's office.
"It's you?" Harvey's stunned voice filled the room before the HR representative, Jacqueline Miller, could even introduce me.

So, your nis Jane Brown." I looked at him calmly, though internally was a little surprised. What were the odds? My team leader was the sguy who tried to extort money fromat the city clerk's office yesterday.
What a small world.
Harvey frowned, muttering to himself, "Jane Brown. Why does that nsound so familiar?"
However, after thinking for a while and failing to recall, he simply letat go and strode forward. Turning to Jacqueline, he said, "Alright, that's enough. You can leave now.'ll introduce her to the team." "But..." Jacqueline hesitated, knowing that introducing new
employees was technically her job. However, Harvey's sharp glare made her shrink back, and in the end, she reluctantly nodded and left. The moment Jacqueline was gone, Harvey's fake smile vanished.
"I see your ressays 'single.' But you just got married yesterday, didn't you? What's the matter? Are you trying to deceive the company?"
