Carrying the suitcases, Karl was telling the taxi driver where they were now.
Hanging up the phone, Karl put his arm around her shoulder, "Let's go. The taxi is over there. We can go to my place today. Mom won't stop talking about Nikki. She can take care of her. And tomorrow we can go to the Moore Group for the interview."
Ann lowered her head to look at Nikki in her arms, and then looked up at Karl.
"Karl, is this really okay?"
When she asked Karl to help her take Nikki abroad to Country F, she told him everything.
He didn't look down on her and just felt sorry for her.
During the five years in Country F, Karl had taken good care of her and Nikki.
Karl then told her that he loved her, and he didn't care about her past. He said he was willing to accept Nikki and would treat her as his own daughter.
He knew Ann was afraid that someone would take Nikki away, so he offered to tell everyone that he was Nikki's biological father.
And he even lied to his mother, Betty Jobson.
Nikki's age had been changed from five to three. But fortunately, she was in poor health conditions and looked smaller than she was supposed to, so it was not that suspicious.
Karl smiled as he looked at Ann.
"Ann, I told you I don't mind your past. It's not your fault. I love you. Nothing can change it."
...
The Moore Group Headquarter.
The headquarter was in a towering ring-shaped building. In the middle was a large courtyard with a 360-degree curved glass wall. It was magnificent.
Karl had learned about the Moore family online before. It was the top wealthy and famous family in River City. Those who worked in the Group were all the top of the heap.
Seeing Ann was a little bit nervous, Karl patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. If we are hired, that's good. If not, we can still go for other companies."
She nodded, "I know."
Actually, she didn't want to come here at first. After all, the Group had set the bar very high. And when it came to hiring a perfumer, working experience talked.
She was just fresh from a university, and barely had any experience.
Her best friend, Daisy Lainey, worked here. She encouraged her to give it a shot.
Just as she was thinking, she received a message from Daisy.
Daisy: Inside info: The CEO will be here for the interview too. Good luck!
Daisy also sent her a website link of the company.
It was the introduction to the CEO, Phillip Moore.
Ann saw a handsome but stern face. His deep eyes seemed bottomless. Although it was just a photo, Ann still felt that he was cold and severe.
Apart from his great achievements, the introduction also included some gossips.
For example, it was said that Phillip was a cunning, ruthless, and cruel man. Although he was a bastard, he had driven Simon out, the original successor of the Group. In just a few years, he had climbed up to the position of the Group's CEO.
Some people even said that Phillip also had something to do with Hilda's disappearance and death. Hilda was Simon's biological mother.
It was hard to tell whether all these gossips were true or not, but Ann could tell that Phillip was not easy to get along with.
...
When Ann and Karl were waiting outside for the interview, Daisy came in with a card in her hand.
Daisy was curvy, gorgeous, but also demure and elegant. She seemed as if she wasn't nervous about sneaking out at all.
