Cedrick instantly beamed. He practically flew over and planted an exaggerated kiss on my father's aging face, making my stomach churn.
Then he turned to me with a hypocritical smile.
"Brother, you smell a little... bad. You probably didn't get many chances to bathe in the mountains, right?"
"But don't worry! Our company has great benefits. You can use the company bathroom to shower in the future!"
"Aren't you happy?"
Listening to such idiotic remarks, I genuinely felt the urge to contact the institute's internal security department.
'This family hasn't been infiltrated by foreign hostile forces, right?'
'Letting an adopted son intern as deputy director of the CEO's office, while sending the biological son to work as a cleaner? What kind of absurd plot is this?'
My father's hand, which had been resting on Cedrick's head, stiffened slightly.
Adeline let out a cold laugh.
"Do you think Evermont Corporation is a place anyone can casually enter?"
"Even our cleaning staff enjoys Five Social Insurances and One Housing Fund!"
"You probably don't even know what that is, do you?"
I sighed inwardly.
