Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Just by Chance

Jean couldn’t fall back to sleep after Edgar’s call. She went through the news, but the trending incident were removed. She zoomed in on the photo of Gigi sitting on the toilet and mumbled, “I should have poured more over her head.”

What a shame. She didn’t do her best. She cleaned up her house and headed out to look for work. She visited a few design companies, but none of them accepted her, not even as an intern.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Eyer. We are not hiring anymore.” “Ms. Eyer, you have an interesting resume. However, your designs are not quite the same as our company’s concepts. Please find work at another place.”

To put it simply, they either rejected her because she had been incarcerated before, or were worried they might be dragged into the feud between her and Edgar.

Jean rested on a bench between the office buildings. With a cup of instant coffee in hand, she watched as the steam rose into the air. Those passing by the area were all white-collar workers.

The tallest building in her view was stunning. ‘Royden Group’ was written proudly on the top of it. Jean remembered the time when Edgar bought the building. She was blocked at the entrance when it underwent renovation. She couldn’t even take a step into the building.

She recalled the time she left a boxed meal at the front desk, requesting the worker to send it to Edgar. But when she went back, the meal was lying amongst the trash.

She couldn’t understand at the time. She wanted to treat Edgar with sincerity. He returned it not with indifference, but with hatred and bitterness. Why would he marry a woman he absolutely hated?

Jean felt her eyes drying out. She lowered her head and wiped off the tear that shouldn’t be there. “Hello, are you Ms. Eyer?”

She raised her head and was met with a lean, young man. She knew that she hadn’t seen the man before but felt that his voice was familiar. “And you are?”

“This is my business card. We’ve talked before on the phone.” He handed a black-and-white-colored business card atop his phone. Opulence Financial, business manager Zane Garner. “You…”

His metal-framed glasses glinted in the sun. “If you need help, I can send a referral to the manager of the design company, MON & Co.”

“MON & Co.? The top company that sends talented individuals to the international catwalk show!” Jean perked up. He nudged his glasses. “Yes, Ms. Eyer. Should I contact them for you?”

“Why would you help me?”

“Thirty million is not a small amount. I believe it might be difficult to make payments on time with your current situation.” She kept silent. He was reasonable.

Zane left to make a phone call. When he returned, he gave her an address. “They happen to be organizing a program to train interns. You can report to work tomorrow morning.” “It’s that simple?”

Was the work she had been fussing over for a few days really solved that easily?

He nodded and reminded her, “Our boss doesn’t have a good temperament. You mustn’t run from your debt, Ms. Eyer.”
