Chapter 404 “If I enter, it’s like going back to prison. I don’t like being in prison,” Meredith said.
It was either painting, reading, or watching tv every day. It was boring.
She would rather be by the beach being together with Joe all day long. Not only could she play in the sea, but she could also play with children. “How is it like being in prison?”
“How is it not? I can’t go out, I can’t make friends, I can’t do anything,” Meredith grumbled.
“Who says you can’t go out and make friends?” Josiah smiled. “I thought you wanted to go to
work?”
“When?” At the mention of work, Meredith’s eyes sparkled.
“Whenever you like.”
Meredith grabbed Josiah’s hands in delight. “Joe, are you for real? I can really go to work whenever I like?” “Hmm.” Josiah nodded. “But you have to be good.”
“Okay, I will.” Meredith asked excitedly, “Joe, what do you want me to do? I’ll go do it now. I promise I’ll be good.”
“I want you to go in, get hydrated, rest, then have “Okay. I’ll go in now!” Meredith happily entered the mansion. She drank some water, had some food, and took some rest.
She eagerly ran to Josiah’s study and ask him, “Joe, I’m rested. When can I go to work?”
Josiah looked at her eager expressions. He chuckled helplessly,”Edith, are you that eager to leave home?”
Meredith nodded. “I want to work.”
“Come here.” Josiah waved at her.
Meredith walked over. He hugged her around the waist and placed her on his lap before handing her a set of documents. “This is a private kindergarten. There are not many children there. I think it suits you. What do you think?”
“Joe, are you getting me to teach them piano?”
“Yes, can you do it?”
“Of course.” Meredith thumped her chest and said, “I tried it yesterday. I realized I’m amazing at playing the piano. There will not be a problem teaching young children.” “Then, we’ll pick this kindergarten?” “Hmm.”
Josiah looked at the kindergarten’s introduction. This was a lower tiered private kindergarten. The faculty and school facilities were ordinary. The school fees were one of the cheapest in the
city. The children attending the kindergarten would be children from a poorer background.
The reason he picked this kindergarten and not the other elite kindergartens was because the teachers and the parents were on a different social level than him. No one would recognize him and Meredith. He would only be relieved by placing Meredith in such an environment.
“Joe, then…when can I go to work?”
“I’ll go with you to see the principal in the afternoon. If the principal thinks that you’re fine, you can start work in the next few days.”
“Oh, okay.”
Josiah looked at his watch. “It’s still early, you can still sleep a little longer.” “I’m not going to sleep anymore. I want to stay here with you while you work.” Meredith said while hugging his neck.
“Okay, then don’t move. I have to make a phone call to a client.” Josiah hugged her around the waist with one hand while he picked his phone up and make a call with the other.
The call connected. He softly shushed Meredith.
Meredith shushed him in return and cheekily pressed her ear against the phone to listen.
The other person on the other end of the line was a woman. She sounded coquettish and sweet. Meredith immediately furrowed her brows and said, “It’s a woman?”
