Nina sent me a text informing me that she had moved into Susan's apartment and that everything was ready.
It just so happened that Shannon and I were both at the company, so I told her the news. Shannon was surprised. "Really? Let's have dinner together tonight."
"Okay, I'll ask her out."
We made an appointment to meet at Divine Essence at 7:30 in the evening.
Shannon was overjoyed when she saw her and hugged Nina. Then, we sat down together. Shannon could not help sighing. "I didn't expect the three of us to gather together after so long. This must be heaven’s will."
"Perhaps it's true. It was really fate that Nina and I went through two such big hurdles at the same time. I hope the three of us can make a difference in Whaldorf City." I took the lead in raising my cup while I looked at them.
Shannon was the one who was most easily spurred to action. She clinked my glass and nodded in agreement. "That's right. I hope we can all make a difference."
Shannon and I stood side by side, looking at Nina, who was still sitting beside her. She did not seem to be in the mood, however, so Shannon and I looked at each other, confused.
Nina sighed before slowly opening her mouth, "You two are so kind. Both your husbands are famous figures in Whaldorf City, and you both have your own careers. I haven't even started looking for a job yet. I wonder if the standards here are high."
She seemed a little depressed. Shannon and I exchanged glances and sat down slowly. I smiled lightly. "You just arrived here and haven't even gotten started yet. You graduated from a prestigious university. Finding a good job will be very easy."
"That may be so, but this is Whaldrof City. There is never a shortage of talent. People like me are a dime a dozen. I will definitely be rejected for interviews." Nina was feeling sorry for herself. Perhaps being in the countryside for three months had made her unconfident.
Shannon took her hand as if giving her strength. "Believe in yourself. You can do it. You studied design, right?"
