Xavier, who had been reprimanded, looked very upset. He pulled out his phone and saw that Jeanette had sent him a message: ‘I need to ask you something. Can we meet up right now?’Xavier smiled. His fingers quickly typed out his reply: ‘Okay.’At a cafe…By the time Jeanette had rushed over, Xavier had been waiting for her for ten minutes.“Sorry for calling you out in the middle of the night like this,” she apologized.“It’s fine. I’m always free anyway.” Xavier pushed the coffee that he h
“It’s because you were pregnant with his child, of course.”Jeanette couldn’t remember a single thing from her past. Hearing Xavier’s narration felt like someone else’s story.Xavier continued. “That year, when you were pregnant with your first child, you ended up losing the baby in the end due to his random philandering—even your half-sister got involved. You were heartbroken at the time. However, meanwhile, there were rumors of him having an affair with someone else…”Her hand trembled, and she nearly spilled the coffee in her cup placed in front of her.‘Was my past that eventful? But why was Damon gazing at me so passionately at the hospital? Was he just putting on a show? For the sake of our son?’“Why haven’t you told any of this? You knew everything!”“I knew. Of course I knew. But it’s best to forget all of these depressing things. How could I possibly bear to cut a hole into your scars?”Xavier had an incomparably sincere look in his eyes. He didn’t look like he was lyi
However, Jeanette had been looking at the company’s job offer over the past two days. An amnesiac like her did not remember anything about her past, and she couldn’t even write a decent resume. The one she had submitted was utterly useless.Besides, she was a single mother. She needed to leave the office early with two days off. It was really difficult.‘The Godfrey Group has over 10,000 employees. I’m just getting interviewed for the job of a small, insignificant clerk. How could I possibly d
“Who?” Lucia’s lips trembled. It was obvious that the person she had seen during the interview had given her a huge shock.After a long pause, she still couldn’t bring herself to reveal the person’s name.Just then, Jeanette’s name was called from the front. Jeanette didn’t dare delay. She had no choice but to let go of Lucia’s hand and walk into the interview room.She was too afraid to lift her head due to her intense nervousness. She kept her head down and gave the interviewers a deep
Jeanette looked around her. The potential candidates, who had finished their interviews and still hadn’t left, were all standing outside in groups of threes or fives, each whispering amongst themselves. The topic of everyone’s discussion was, of course, Damon.“I wonder what Mr. Godfrey is doing here. But seeing a mythical figure like him today is worth everything, even if I fail the interview!” Lucia looked absolutely infatuated.Jeanette was taken aback again. So was the reason she felt so n
After some consideration, she felt that her son had a point.Now, everything she knew was based on what others had told her. However, even her own memories could be a lie, let alone the words of others.‘Perhaps I should do a detailed investigation and check it out.’Jeanette specifically woke up early in the morning today due to the time set in the job acceptance email. After leaving Jenny to take care of her son, she arrived at Godfrey Tower.This was a spectacular building, a tall behemot
The elevator doors were about to close when Damon suddenly reached out and pressed the door open button and said to her, “Aren’t you coming in?”Jeanette quickly shook her head and backed into the crowd waiting for the elevators.The elevator door slowly closed. Parker quietly asked, “Sir, the missus, she—” “From now on, there’s no need to show her special treatment in the office. And don’t mention the words ‘missus’ or ‘Mrs. Godfrey’ again.”“Yes, sir.”Damon maintained an indifferent loo
“Be serious! What do you want?”Xavier continued grinning. “Actually, I was worried that you wouldn’t take the job here after discovering your relationship with Damon. Luckily, you decided to take it anyway.”“Tell me the truth, you knew about our connection, yet you recommended a job in the Godfrey Group to me. Do you have some sort of evil plan?”“Bingo! I do have an evil plan.”Obviously, he had poured all of his efforts into persuading her to join the company because he had his own agend
