Chapter 1796 You’re Hired
However, the person on the other end remained friendly as he said, “How about
this? I’ll get her a job at the reception first. If she’s willing to take this job, we’ll
give her an official contract once the probation period of three months is over.
Please send me her number and basic details.”
“Okay, great! Thank you a bunch, Mr. McConaughey,” Connor said in relief,
thinking that this was suitable compensation for Ellen. His daughter was
employed, and Ellen didn’t have to worry about job searching anymore.
When he got home, Olivia continued to ask him whether he had given any
money to Ellen, which was within his expectations. “She wouldn’t take it even if I
wanted to give it to her,” he answered helplessly.
“It’s only right that she doesn’t take it as she should understand that every
single penny from this family is unrelated to her,” Olivia scoffed. Every word she
uttered was more demeaning than the last.
He stared at his wife and felt as though he was looking at a stranger. What
turned her into such a heartless person? Was it money? he wondered.
All these years, their relationship was quite stable, but he noticed that his wife
had gradually turned into a selfish and indifferent person. She hoarded money
like a dragon and no longer had any compassion for others.
Annoyed by his stare, she barked, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Initially, he wanted to tell her that he had gotten Ellen into the
Presgrave Group as well, but he decided against it.
Soon, Selena returned home and was over the moon to find out that she got the
position of financial analyst. For a fresh graduate, it would be impossible for her
to get such a good job. Furthermore, she merely wanted to go there and work to
get an extra point for herself so that she could have better chances of meeting
men of higher social class.
While she sat on the couch, the image of that young man she bumped into at
the golf course that day appeared in her mind. For the past few days, she would
go there for a walk and take some pictures with her friends, but she didn’t run
into him again.
Despite her disappointment, she looked forward to seeing him again because
Whatever, she thought. I’ll just show up there tomorrow and see what happens!
Out of the blue, she was struck with overwhelming sorrow. If Jessica was
watching her from the other side and knew that she was going to start working
in a huge corporation, would she be happy for her?
She would need a decent business suit for her job tomorrow. Alas, the clothes
Connor bought for her were all casual wear, which was unsuitable for an
interview. In addition, an international company such as Presgrave Group would
definitely have a strict dress code.
Hence, she opened the other bags that were fully packed. These were the old
clothing that Olivia had packed for her, and she had brought all of them back.
One by one, she laid them out on the bed to take a good look at them. Finally,
she found a business suit with a skirt that looked professional, and she heaved
a sigh of relief. Not only did this look good, but it also didn’t look worn out.
After she checked the label and noticed that it was from a renowned brand, she
sighed again. Selena’s life is something that I couldn’t even have in my dreams.
