Chapter 212
‘So, she’s the assistant job candidate that Felicity recommends,’ Stella thought. She then greeted Shea with a handshake. “Nice to meet you,” she said.
Shea, who was calm, responded with a handshake. “Nice to meet you too, Ms. Jewell. Felicity told you about my situation, right?”
Stella nodded. “You have a son, and you need to take care of him on weekends.”
Shea nodded as well. She was a little nervous when she said, “If it’s not convenient for you, I can arrange full daycare services for my son on weekends since it’s close to where I live. I really need this job.”
Stella took her time to make a decision and asked Shea a few simple questions.
Shea answered them fluently, showcasing her experience in the assistant role. She had previously worked with A-list and B-list artists for eight years at the age of nineteen, and she resigned at twenty-seven. With her extensive experience, Shea could be considered a veteran in show business.
Shea had left show business for the sake of her marriage and family. Her job as an assistant often required her to be away from home. Plus, both she and her husband, now ex-husband, were not local. Neither of them was available to take care of their child, and they were unwilling to hire a nanny. The constant arguments took a toll on their relationship. After much contemplation regarding the child’s growth and education, Shea ultimately decided to resign from her job.
She then found a clerical job near her home. It was less demanding, and she had a more flexible schedule, allowing her more free time. She could even bring her child with her to work. Although the salary was not high, the convenience made up for it.
However, despite her seemingly improving circumstances after a few years, she soon discovered that her ex-husband was having an affair. This came after he experienced success in his career and received a substantial pay raise from his promotion.
Shea swiftly filed for divorce. She had chosen a swift resolution instead of facing the lengthy court process. Due to her financial limitations, the custody of her child was granted to her ex- husband, allowing her to only visit the child on Sundays and bring him home.
Her family was unsupportive of her decision to divorce, so they cut off all forms of communication with her.
Feeling undeterred, Shea was determined to restart her career to regain custody of her child. So, she was desperate to find a job.
