Chapter 3119
"Vouch for you?"?" Eliar's brows furrowed as he asked, "Which company?"
He hadn't heard of companies requiring a local reference to vouch for a job candidate for employment.
"It's just a couple of blocks away, at a place called-"
Doretta couldn't finish the sentence before Ellar cut in with a hint of suspicion, "A couple of blocks away... Are you sure it's not some front company?"
That area wasn't known for hosting significant, reputable businesses. With Doretta's skills, she shouldn't need to look into lesser-known entities.
"I..." Doretta faltered, "I'm not sure, but I don't think it is."
Ellar exhaled deeply. "Go home for now. I'll look into this."
While Ellar preferred keeping his distance from Doretta, given her arrival in San Joto and his mother's assurance of support, he felt obligated to ensure her safety. He wouldn't stand by if she was potentially being scammed, especially since she was family.
Doretta seemed to hesitate, wanting to say more, but ultimately nodded." Alright, then."
"Do you need a lift home?" Ellar offered.
"There's no need, I can make my way. I won't take up more of your time," Doretta declined before she exited.
With the office to himself again, Ellar let out a frustrated sigh. His intention of having lunch with Patricia was thwarted by Doretta's untimely appearance.
Patricia, unbeknownst to Ell ar, hadn't left the vicinity and overheard the exchange between Ellar and Doretta. It was only after Doretta departed that she decided to leave.
