Just as I thought! But a job offer from Cutie Pets? I don’t remember ever applying for a job there because I don’t know anything about handling pets. Despite the thought of that, Patricia realized the business was a famous franchise and decided to give it a try, thinking she should be grateful for having found a job during the tough times. “Yes, speaking. Please send me your address. I’ll come over right away.”
As soon as the caller agreed to send Patricia the address, she hung up the call and waited until she received it before driving off. When she arrived at Cutie Pets, she was greeted by the sight of a huge building with a spacious car park, which appeared to be designated for pet owners, not far from the entrance.
Since it was still early in the morning, she only saw a handful of cars in the car park.
The next moment, she entered the building and was brought by the receptionist to the human resource manager, who turned out to be a middle-aged lady in a decent formal suit with a pair of dark-framed glasses.
When Patricia saw her, she was amazed by the size of the scale that a pet shop like Cutie Pets could achieve. Finding the business promising, she intentionally asked about the pay. While the veterinarians were the ones with the highest income, Patricia immediately excluded that option from her consideration, knowing there was no way she could handle the job without any knowledge of veterinary.
However, the human resource manager appeared to have a liking for Patricia. “Patricia, I can assure you that this is not a bad place to work. Take a look around you. It’s completely disinfected and sterilized, so you won’t have to worry about hygiene. Furthermore, there are a few available positions here that you could choose.”
Wait, what? Patricia had never come across any job in which she was allowed to choose her own position. Therefore, she decided on the job that paid the most and spoke her mind with a smile. “Ms. Moore, I’d like to go for the position with the highest pay.”
Melinda, the manager, squinted and smiled as she went ahead to proceed with the entry procedures. Let’s wait until she finds out what her job is when I’m done with the procedures here. “Patricia, your work starts at 10 AM tomorrow. Don’t be late.”
Patricia was stunned by Melinda’s words, not expecting to be offered a job so easily in the interview. “Ms. Moore, I only know I’ll be paid 15,000 every month, but what’s my position?” After all, she only stated her request to choose the position with the highest pay without asking what it was, so she reckoned it was necessary for her to find it out before she left.
Melinda squinted with a smile. “A pet breeder.”
While Patricia had never heard about the job before, she was still tempted by the amount of money that she would be paid for taking up the position. Therefore, she decided to accept the offer for the sake of the lucrative pay. Upon leaving Cutie Pets, she reached for her phone to search more about her position, only to frown when she read the results on Google. So, that’s what a pet breeder does. How weird it sounds! No wonder it pays so well.
She then put away her phone and let out a sigh. “Patricia, you’re getting paid 15,000 per month. Think about those days you have to work four to five jobs just to make this amount of money. Now, you can finally make that money without having to sacrifice weekends, not to mention the fact that you only have to work 7 hours a day. This way, you can spend more time with your kids,” she murmured to herself and made up her mind to take up the job.
The next moment, Patricia didn’t head home but she instead headed to Estrella Villa after buying some ingredients for cooking, thinking she wanted to go there and find out about what had happened to Nikola and Percy the night before. I hope they are fine, or Isaac is going to use that as an excuse to ‘extort’ me for money. Anyway, why does he always have to milk me for my money? He is at least ten times richer than I am, after all.
After arriving at Isaac’s residence, Patricia parked her car and got out of it, whereupon she approached the car trunk to grab her ingredients. After that, she made her way to the house and opened the door, changing her shoes as she was about to enter the kitchen.
At the same time, Adeline happened to be walking down the stairs as she ran into Patricia in surprise. She then scurried toward the latter intimidatingly and questioned her. “Why are you here, Patricia?!” After all, Elizabeth once said that Isaac preferred to live in solitude without any interference. Thus, Adeline couldn’t help but wonder why Patricia would show up at Isaac’s place of residence.
