Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247
Jassa? Victoria paused for a moment when she saw that the person was also in
After a few seconds, she couldn’t help but sigh. There had been too many
coincidences lately.
Before coming here, she thought Jasea was a quiet city where she wouldn’t see
familiar faces so frequently while running her company here.
Who would have thought…..
At the thought of a certain person, Victoria set aside her phone. Oh well, so what if
we meet? Jasea is just this big. I want to run a company and make money with it,
and he has invested in my company. There is no avoiding our connection. That’s
just how it is. I should treat him as a normal business partner.
However, despite thinking this way, Victoria couldn’t fall asleep that night.
As she tossed and turned in bed, her mind was filled with the words the doctor and
Terrance had said to her.
The man in question still insisted on not taking medication despite clearly suffering

from severe gastritis. It was ridiculous, really. How could an adult neglect their
health like this? He must be well aware of the consequences if he continued like.
this.
For him to still act that way must mean he was prepared to face the music by
himself. And if he didn’t care, it wasn’t her place to intervene either.
No, of course, it’s not my place to do that. If anyone should intervene, it would be
Claudia.
With these thoughts in mind, Victoria turned over again.
She just couldn’t understand why Terrance wouldn’t call Claudia.
Why did he have to call her instead?
The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became. That was how
the night became sleepless for Victoria.
When the alarm clock rang the next morning, she wouldn’t have been able to get up
if it weren’t for her strong willpower.
After getting up, she went on with her usual routine by taking care of the children’s

breakfast and preparing to take them to school.
Teresa noticed that she didn’t seem to have much energy and asked, concerned,
“Miss Selwyn, did you not sleep well last night? You seem a bit off.”

At this, Victoria could only smile bitterly and nod. “I had a bit of insomnia last night.”

“I see.” Teresa immediately seized the opportunity to offer help. “Why don’t you rest
at home for a while if you don’t have much to do at the company, Miss Selwyn? I can
take the two children to school for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
“I’ll get the door!” Teresa hurriedly ran to open the door, only to see that it was Bane.
“Mr. Morison, you’re here!”
At the sight of Bane, she suddenly realized how with him around, even if she wanted
to take the children to school, she wouldn’t get her chance to do that.
She had hoped to make a good impression on her wonderful employee so that she
wouldn’t lose her job in the future.
Sure enough, after Bane arrived, he said he would take Victoria’s children to school.

This had been going on for several days now. Before Victoria could say anything, the
two children eagerly ran toward Bane.
Victoria could only watch as Bane took the children away.
After he left, Teresa sighed. “Miss Selwyn, Mr. Morison sure treats you and the
children well.”
“Mhm.”
But it was precisely because he was so kind to them that she always felt guilty
toward him.
She would rather not have someone treat her so well.
Teresa wanted to say something else, but with her discerning eyes after being a
nanny for so many years, she noticed Victoria’s lack of enthusiasm and quickly fell
silent.
Once Victoria was done tidying up, she said to Teresa, “I’m leaving now. I have to
take the subway.”
“Alright, Miss Selwyn. Please take care and stay safe.”

Upon arriving at the company, Victoria realized that there were many cars parked
downstairs. She saw two cars vying for the same parking space as soon as she got
there.
However, the white car accidentally grazed the rear of the black car because it was
going too fast.
Although it was just a minor collision, Victoria knew that a dispute was about to
begin.
Sure enough, after the cars collided, both parties got out of their vehicles and
started arguing about the parking space and the collision.
She was already accustomed to seeing such things. After shaking her head, she
walked toward the office building.
Usually, she was the only one taking the elevator, but several others were waiting for
the elevator with her today.
One of them was a bespectacled young man with a refined and clean appearance.
Seeing her beautiful face and unique temperament, he couldn’t help but greet her.
“Hi, are you here for the job interview as well?”

Victoria was slightly taken aback at the question. “Are you talking to me?”

“Yes.” The young man with glasses nodded and smiled, his smile pure. “You’re very
beautiful.”
She had never received such a straightforward compliment in the country before.
However, the way he said it seemed sincere and was not at all creepy. So, she also
smiled. “Thank you. Are you here for the interview?”
“I am.” As soon as they started talking about this, the young man’s eyes lit up. “Did
you also see that job posting? Cadogan Group has invested in this small company. I
tried to join Cadogan Group before but wasn’t successful, so I decided to settle for
this opportunity. I believe any company selected by Cadogan Group must be
outstanding.”
Victoria finally understood why there were so many people downstairs and in the
elevator when she heard that.
So, they are all here for the job interview after seeing the job posting? The
recruitment is currently handled by Henry. Did he already post about the vacancies.
yesterday afternoon or night even though he only sent in his application yesterday?
“We’re here for the interview too.”

Perhaps overhearing their conversation, others started to chime in with a smile.
“What positions are you applying for? This company seems to have vacancies for
various positions.”
Once the floodgates of conversation opened, everyone started discussing their own
job applications.
Victoria listened quietly as they talked about applying for different positions. Before
long, the elevator reached their floor.
Everyone went out of the elevator together.
As the space was spacious, everyone was still searching for the interview area.
Victoria, on the other hand, pointed directly to a certain place.
“The interview area is over there. Just walk straight along this way, take a right turn,
and then push open the door.”
“Brilliant, thanks.”
After knowing where to go, the others wanted to say something to her again, only to
see that Victoria had already walked off in another direction.

“Hold up. How does she know this place so well?”
“Where did she go?”
“She’s gone. Could she be an employee here?”

Although they didn’t know who Victoria was, they found out that she wasn’t there to
interview like the rest of them were.
Victoria proceeded to spend the morning in the office. As lunchtime approached,
Henry came to her. “I’ve been busy interviewing all morning. Why didn’t you come
over and see if there’s anything you can help with?”
“I had something to take care of here. Besides, I trust you are a good judge of
character. How many have you hired?”
“About four or five. They seemed suitable, so I asked them to come tomorrow. I still
have to interview dozens more this afternoon.”
“That’s a lot, isn’t it?” Although she had anticipated this might happen, she was still
surprised to hear the number of people that had come.
“What else can we do? That’s why I suggested you approach Cadogan Group
