Chapter 20 Unexpected Offer
Not long after that, der Judy’s arrangement. Agnes married Raymond.
After Agnes finished cleaning up the house, she started browsing job listings on a hiring website.
Raymond’s words had stung her deeply. She had been a full–time housewife for three years, and he seemed to think that if she left the Newtons, she would end up starving on the streets.

Agnes had only completed two years of college before dropping out. The only qualifications she could present now were a Caelish Proficiency Level 8 Certificate and the ATA Level 1 Translation Certification, both of which she had earned on her own during her spare time.
Agnes thought that even though her lack of a degree might hold her back, those two certificates would at least give her a chance.
She found several well–known Caelish training institutions and submitted her applications along with copies of her certificates.
The next day, she received a call from one of the institutions asking her to come in for an interview.
During the entire interview, Agnes performed very well. Her Caelish was fluent, and she answered every question smoothly. The interviewers all seemed quite satisfied.
Just when Agnes believed she had a very good chance of getting the job, one of the interviewers suddenly looked serious.
“Ms. Sinclair, I see here that in the education section you withdrew from college after two years?”
“Yes. There were some unexpected circumstances in my family, so I had to leave school. But I have the ATA Level 1 certification and the Caelish Proficiency Level 8 certificate. My professional ability is strong, and I believe I can still do this job well,” Agnes replied.
The interviewers exchanged glances and quietly discussed among themselves for a moment. One of them then spoke with an awkward expression.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sinclair. While our institution values professional ability, we also place great importance on academic qualifications. As you know, parents nowadays have very high expectations. Most of them specifically request teachers who graduated from prestigious universities. We do recognize that your professional ability is strong, but the industry is very competitive right now. We hope you can understand. We sincerely thank you for choosing to interview with our company, and we hope you will find a position that suits you better.”
At that point, Agnes understood that she hadn’t been hired. She stood up with a polite smile, gave a small nod, and left the room.
She sat down in the hallway of the institution and stared blankly ahead. She had only come here to try her luck anyway, but she still felt a little upset.
Just then, a burst of noise in the distance caught her attention. She turned toward the sound
She saw a middle–aged woman arguing with a foreign man.

There weren’t many people in the hallway, so Agnes walked closer. The two people in front of her seemed to be talking past each other. One spoke Hanese, the other spoke Caelish, yet they were arguing fiercely.
Agnes listened for a moment and quickly understood what had happened. The foreign man had bumped into the woman while walking.
But his attitude was terrible. Not only had he refused to apologize, he had also insulted her.
Seeing that the woman didn’t understand Caelish, he kept swearing at her in Caelish, calling her blind, saying she was blocking his way, and even calling her a nasty old woman.
Agnes took out her phone and turned on the camera. Then she walked up to the foreign man.
In fluent Caelish, she began speaking to him sharply.
After a short while, the man’s attitude suddenly changed. He walked over to the middle–aged woman.
First, he gave her a deep bow. Then, in clumsy Hanese, he said, “Sorry.”

The woman didn’t really understand what had happened, but she understood the apology, so she decided not to pursue the matter any further.
After the man left, she held Agnes’s hand.
“Miss, what did you say to him just now? I don’t understand Caelish, but I could tell from his expression earlier that he was very aggressive. After you came, he suddenly apologized to me.”
“Ma’am, I accidentally overheard your argument earlier. I knew he was the one who bumped into you, but he kept saying very unpleasant things. So I went over and warned him. I told him that if he was here, he was either an employee of this institution or someone applying for a job here. I recorded everything that just happened on my phone, including his rude behavior and the foul language he used. If he refused to apologize, I would send the video to everyone in this institution and post it online. I would make sure he couldn’t stay at this institution, and he wouldn’t even be able to stay in Grandridge anymore. After hearing that, he apologized to you,” Agnes said.
“Oh my, young lady, you’re really impressive. Thank you so much for helping me stand up for myself. Do you work here too? Your Caelish is excellent,” the woman said with a smile.

Agnes looked a little discouraged. “No, Ma’am. I came here for an interview, but I didn’t get the job.”
At that moment, a man dressed in a neat suit walked toward them.
He respectfully handed a phone to the middle–aged woman.
“Mrs. Emily. I brought your phone.”
At the same time, several staff members from the institution hurried over, all wearing polite smiles.
