Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 216

"Because of your competence."

Hugo had initially noticed her resume because of her connection to Willow, but after a cursory background check, it was obvious she was a highly skilled and experienced attorney. For her age bracket in New York, she was absolutely top-tier.

She just had a run of bad luck and offended the wrong corporate players—things that, to him, were effortlessly easy to resolve.

Hearing his reasoning, Jade nodded. She was incredibly confident in her own abilities and felt his justification was entirely fair.

With that, the initial panic melted away, leaving behind a solid sense of reassurance. At the very least, he recognized her professional value.

She suddenly recalled her conversation with Willow yesterday, where she had been so envious of Willow's situation. Well, she didn't need to be jealous anymore. Her boss wasn't just handsome; he was the man she had secretly crushed on for years. Looking at it this way, getting fired from her last job was a total blessing in disguise.

That was just how Jade operated—her emotions flared hot and settled quickly. Now that she realized she had the ultimate home-field advantage, she decided to take the initiative.

"We used to have each other on WeChat, remember?" she prompted, mostly just to see if he recalled the detail.

"Of course," Hugo replied. She was a memorable woman; he wasn't the type to forget.

Jade beamed. She already had his social media, but now she wanted his direct phone number. Strictly as a first step, of course.
