After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 775

"Jerk!" Winona cursed, sniffing a bit, as she strutted far from the hospital. "See who cares for him!"

The beautiful curvaceous damsel naturally caught the attention of many men, let alone the one who was specifically looking for her. He blocked her way, making Winona almost bump into him.

However, she managed to stop on time and step back, though not forgetting to glare at the damned obstacle. At this time though, she could only glare at his shoe while she wiped away her tears as subtly as she could.

"Winona…" he said, voice drooping with flirtatiousness.

Winona’s eyebrows rose and she looked at the handsome man with wavy ash blonde hair.

After getting to Alterra and getting access to the hygiene products, this guy cleaned up well, without any sign of his poor state before getting here.

He was still a disgusting scum in Winona’s eyes, however. She crossed her arms, looking defensively at him. "What do you want?"

"Does there have to be a reason for a man to see his fiance?"

"Ex-fiance," she corrected. "Pretty sure I broke that off when I saw you fucking two women!"

"Neither families agreed to that, my love," he said. "We’re still in a relationship, and I can assure you I will not make the same mistakes—"

"Shut up."

Winona really didn’t need this bug right now!

This guy was someone who moved from Limestone Valley, attracted by what they showed in the newspaper. He applied—as did hundreds of others—for the engineering department when the Research Center announced a mass hiring.

It was a dream job for him! Doing office work and only training outside as needed. Best of all, the pay was good and they had royalties for whatever they contributed in.

However, unfortunately for him, the Research Center had a high standard of employment. Those accepted were ones who could truly contribute more than the basic clerical and repetitive tasks.

He was rejected and had posted a lot of complaints of unfairness—not only him, but the survivors of his family (who were unfortunately 3, like cockroaches the world didn’t need).

This jerk’s nosy mother found she had a good position there, and the family had been bothering her ever since.

"I told you, I’m not the only one who decides who gets the job!" she said, using her remaining patience to be civil. Otherwise, she would never hear the end of it from her grandmother.

"If I were you, I’d work hard to get contribution points to get in the library. Maybe you’d find some useful information there to pass."

She was already being very kind. Although this guy graduated in industrial engineering, he only passed by paying his way through. A freshman probably knew more than he did!

"I don’t believe that, wife," he said, apparently unperturbed by her words. She rolled her eyes and turned, waving him away.

"Stop it, Eric. I’m not in the mood," she said, finally walking past him. "Leave me alone or I’ll call the guards on you."

The man sneered but didn’t follow her. In the end, he smiled arrogantly, watching her figure disappear from view.

No, wife, you won’t have a choice.
