Susan numbly flipped through the certificates.
“First place winner of the national robot competition.”

“First place winner of the national programming competition.”
“The champion of the national youth swimming competition.”
It was obvious that these were extremely valuable certificates, but they were casually put in this broken wooden box. Moreover, there were so many of them that the only thing. Susan felt in the end was the numbness of her fingers.
She spoke to herself in her heart, “Besides, I can understand that those certificates of
national prizes are here.
But can Ben explain to me why these are also here?
The first–place winner of the writing competition at Harresburg Elementary School.
The champion of the calculation competition in the Green Community.
The champion of the speech contest in Class 303 of Harresburg Middle School.
Susan was dumbfounded.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
The only thing that gratified her was that although this box looked huge, most of the things inside were thick certificates, so she didn’t need to spend much time reading all of them.
She had finished learning the life of Ben. Not only had he won all kinds of awards, but he also had a diving certificate and a pilot license.
“Has this guy only lived for less than 30 years but not 200 years to achieve all these?” wondered Susan.
After reading everything in the box, Susan informed Ben’s secretary to take it away.

“Mr. Landor, Mrs. Landor has finished reading,” the secretary reported to Ben.
“Oh?” While signing a contract, Ben asked casually, “What’s her expression?”
The secretary thought, “What expression?
She seemed to be… finally relieved.
But I can’t say that.”
The secretary replied to Ben with a smile, “Mrs. Landor looked very happy.”
Ben curved his lips into a faint smile.
He thought, “Heh.
Has this shallow woman been astonished by my life as a genius?
What an inexperienced girl.
But it’s not her fault.
After all, my past is too impressive.
Timothy is far inferior to me.
In Susan’s diary, she even kept praising how outstanding and smart he was.
Now, after seeing these certificates of mine, Susan should be eager to talk to me about my achievements, right?
Unfortunately, she is a shy woman. Perhaps she is too embarrassed to express her feelings out loud.”
Thinking of this, Ben told his secretary, “Go and ask Mrs. Landor to write an 800–word review of what she just read.”
As a man, he thought he should be considerate toward Susan Miller and should give her a chance to express her feelings.
He wondered if these 800 words were enough for Susan to express her admiration for
him.
But he thought there was no other way since he was afraid that Susan would be tired if he
asked her to write more words, so he would only ask her for this for the time being.
A few minutes later, Susan was speechless when she received the new task.

The secretary coughed twice and said, “Mrs. Landor, Mr. Landor asked me to wait here until you finish it.”
until..
Susan was on the verge of tears.
She felt that Ben’s punishment on her was too harsh this time.
“How about I give him the silent treatment directly?” Susan pondered.
However, the secretary was still waiting for her in the office.
Susan could only swallow her anger and turn on the computer.
She thought to herself, “Alright, I’ll write these 800 words.
Isn’t it just flattery?
I can do it!”
An hour later, the secretary returned to Ben with the printed review.
Ben looked at the essay written by Susan.
With a smile on his lips, he slowly read it out.
“I didn’t know that there was such a genius in the world until I saw these certificates! He can not only swim in the sea but also fly a plane in the sky. He can not only tap his fingers on the keyboard and move them freely on the chessboard…
Ben read it out loud again in the meeting.
“He is God’s favorite, a blessing to the world, and also a great hero in my heart.
“He shines like the blazing sun on the horizon and glows like a roseate cloud. He is like at deity.”
The senior managers were struck dumb after being forced to listen to the 800–word flattery.
By contrast, Ben read happily. As soon as he finished reading it, he looked at the stunned
senior managers and asked them with pity, “Do your wives admire you so much?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The senior managers only shook their heads mechanically.
Ben let out a sigh and continued, “But you can’t blame them for this. After all, none of are as outstanding as me.”
The senior managers were once again speechless.
After a long time, the crowd spoke one after another.
“Of course, of course. How can we compare to you, Mr. Landor?”
“Mrs. Landor’s love for Mr. Landor is also enviable!”
you
“I was so moved by this essay that I was about to cry. Mrs. Landor had a talent for writing. She should work in publicity,” A senior manager said as he wiped his tears.
The others all looked at him with disdain in unison.
However, Ben was very pleased to hear that. He took out a copy of the essay and handed it to the senior manager. “If you like it, just take it with you and read it often.”
The senior manager was stunned for a moment before he replied, “Thank you, Mr. Landor.”
“Don’t worry. Each of you will have a copy.” Then, Ben asked his secretary to distribute copies of the essay.
Everyone could do nothing but express their gratitude.
Not long after the meeting, Susan’s article began to spread all over the company.
Director Luke even took back a copy and read it out loud enthusiastically in the office.
Susan was forced to listen to her own flattery helplessly.
She only felt like dying!
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect you to be so good at writing, Susan,” Director Luke praised with a smile.
Susan pulled out a smile and said, “Just so–so.”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a loving relationship with Mr. Landor, Susan. What you
MMMM
wrote is nothing but a love letter.”
“That’s right. I want to receive a love letter too! Boohoo.”
“Shut up. Stop whining.”

“Susan, next time I chase a girl, can you teach me how to write a love letter? Just write one in the same style as today. I believe it will work.”
“I believe so. Tsk, tsk, tsk. ‘He’s like a deity! A deity…”
Susan felt inclined to sink into the ground with shame again.
It dawned on her that reading the certificates and writing an essay was just the appetizer of the punishment.
Now, it was the main course.
She thought, “Ben must want to torture me.
Boohoo, he’s so vicious.”
Then, Susan’s article was circulated to everyone in the company. From time to time, someone would deliberately come to Susan to read a few lines of her flattery.
At first, Susan would still feel ashamed, but she gradually got used to it.
“Whatever!” she thought.
“Susan, Mr. Leen from Shining Tech is here,” a colleague suddenly said to Susan.
“Timothy?”
Susan thought with mixed feelings, “Now I know why I ended up like this today!
It’s all because of my crush on Timothy in the past!
If I could turn back time, I swear I wouldn’t even spare a glance at Timothy!
But now that Timothy is here for business, should I go to see him?”
After hesitating for a while, Susan still decided to go.
After all, she was in charge of this project, so it was her duty to advance its progress.

“Susan.” Timothy stood up at the sight of Susan.
“Call me Ms. Miller, please!” Susan said with a serious face.
At the thought of the humiliation she had suffered today, she was still too annoyed to treat. Timothy gently.
Timothy was stunned for a moment before his eyes slightly dimmed as he uttered slowly, “Ms. Miller.”
