Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1463: Who is she? Your girlfriend?

One of the things Teddy disliked about working in the corporate world wasn't the fierce competition, but rather, a certain type of people. People who thought they were better than everyone else - people who didn't care if they trampled over others to climb the ladder, and those who abused their power and authority.

Despite never having a permanent job before, Teddy had aced every interview he attended. The issue was that he'd vacate his desk just a few days later. If it weren't for the fact that he needed a decent job with a decent paycheck, he wouldn't have kept trying again and again.

At one of the companies he worked at the one before he applied to Prime Group this guy had been his team leader.

"It's good to see you again!" The team leader smirked, a malicious glint flickering in his eyes. He placed a hand on Teddy's shoulder and nodded. "How are you? I didn't know I'd run into you tonight. Wow! It's been a while!"

Teddy smiled meekly and nodded. "Me neither. I didn't expect to see you here..." of all places and of all times he could run into someone in his past.

"Haha." The man's eyes lowered, assessing Teddy's suit before slowly meeting his gaze. His hand still rested on Teddy's shoulder, squeezing it slightly. "Are you job hunting around here?"

"..." Teddy didn't answer, tempted to lower his head. But he was reminded of Yugi's remarks at the convenience store that night, and Penny's words to Shawn earlier.

He glanced at the man's hand on his shoulder and sighed heavily. "I-"

"Who are you?" Patricia suddenly appeared at Teddy's side, eyeing the man. "Can you not touch him like that?"

The man furrowed his brows and glanced at her before turning to Teddy. "Who is she? Your girlfriend?"

Patricia's face immediately soured, and Teddy frowned.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Patricia scoffed, noticing Teddy's discomfort at the man's lingering grip.
