Mia mused, “Actually, for someone like you, with such good qualities, a salary of eight thousand is too little an amount to settle for. Why don’t I introduce you to a male model job with a minimum salary of fifty thousand?”
“Sorry, but this small amount of money means nothing to me.” Zeke rejected her offer.
Mia did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He has a salary of eight thousand and eats a plate of spaghetti, like it’s the most delicious meal he’s ever eaten, but yet, he isn’t interested in a salary of fifty thousand...
This was a typical overambitious person who bit off more than he could chew!
To put it bluntly, he was useless.
She could not be bothered to continue arguing with Zeke and pointed towards the middle room. “You can sleep in the middle room tonight.”
“Mm.” Zeke grunted.
He finished up every bit of the spaghetti sauce before going into the middle room to sleep.
“What a weirdo!” Mia lamented, before heading over to her bedroom as well.
She slept very soundly tonight, not waking up until after the sun had risen.
Perhaps it was because there was a man close by, who could fight, making her feel incredibly safe.
She yawned and got out of bed, ready to wash up.
When she walked out of her bedroom, she noticed that the middle room’s door was wide open.
She went closer to take a look and found that the room was empty; Zeke had already left.
“Hmph! He didn’t even say goodbye before leaving. How rude.” She grumbled and was about to go and wash up when her eyes caught a glimpse of the opened drawer in the middle room.
She thought of something and hurriedly went in to check the drawer.
After a while, her face paled and hatred flashed across her eyes. “A**hole! He stole my pure gold and diamond necklace that’s worth five hundred thousand!”
Her chest heaved with anger. “No wonder he fights so well and isn’t interested in a fifty thousand monthly salary. He’s a thief who mixes with the bad crowds. He’s a lazy a** who only wants to make big money without doing anything!”
She calmed herself down and muttered, “Whatever. I’ll consider it as my reward to him for saving my life.”
Her good impression of Zeke instantly vanished.
Just then, her phone rang. It was the assistant director, Jessie Diaz, from Grand Empire Group.
She answered the call with suspicion, “Ms. Diaz, good morning.”
Jessie smiled slightly and relayed, “Good news, Ms. Young. My boss has heard that you’d wanted to join our company, so. he’s decided to talk to you personally to offer you the chance to join us. Are you available right now? If you are, I’ll have to trouble you to come over.”
What? Yes!
Mia was over the moon. She had never expected things to take a turn for the better.
It did not her long to get ready. Then, she rushed towards Grand Empire Group on an empty stomach.
Not once did she connect this matter to Zeke or think that he could be involved in it.
The more she thought about it, the more ludicrous that idea seemed.
A thief couldn’t possibly have any influence on Grand Empire Group’s decisions!
She arrived at the Grand Empire Group very soon and met the pretty assistant director, Jessie Diaz, again.
Jessie was much more cordial to her this time. “Ms. Young, please follow me.”
Finally, she led Mia to the interview office and chirped, “Please wait a moment. My boss will be here very soon to interview you in person.”
Mia gave her a gentle smile. “Thank you, Ms. Diaz. I’ll treat you to a meal if I pass the interview.”
Jessie replicated her smile. “Don’t mention it, Ms. Young. I’m just doing my job.”
After Jessie left, Mia gradually calmed down.
The more she thought about this matter, the less it made sense.
She could not figure out why the boss had a change of heart overnight.
Could it be... that the boss is a pervert who has set his sights on me because of my body too?
This explanation seemed quite probable to Mia. She could not think of another reason that the boss would be willing to offend Mr. Quin, all because of a mere woman!
Her heart plummeted to the bottom of her stomach when she realized this.
She secretly made herself a vow.
If the boss indeed had this intention, she would never agree to it; she would rather die.
Amidst Mia’s anxiety and restlessness, the door to the office opened.
She shot up from her seat, thinking that it was the boss.
Unexpectedly, the person who had walked in, was Zeke.
