[You have received such a great offer. What more are you asking for? Nancy, if you delay, I am afraid that she might find someone else. Do you want to see that happening?]
Nancy listened patiently to her friend, who was blasting her ears on the other side of the phone.
Whenever she was scratched, it wasn’t easy for the other to stop. So instead of making her life harder by interrupting, Nancy simply listened and waited for her chance.
"Can I really trust her? I mean, she looked pretty young!" Nancy was still doubting Diamond, especially regarding her age.
[Who cares about ages? It is her crime that she is rich? Or do you only want to work for the oldies?]
"I .... Sigh .... Susan, it’s just confusing!" Nancy sighed as she said that.
[Nothing is confusing about any of this. Just accept the job and settle down. I will visit you in the future if you are afraid of being lonely. And if your boss is nice, I can move closer to you. This way you don’t have to be lonely if that’s what you are afraid of.]
Nancy sighed deeply upon hearing Susan’s words. "Fine, I will accept the job and observe her closely as time goes on. I really must not let this opportunity slip by."
[Now you are talking. Stop wasting time and make an appointment now!] Susan urged.
Nancy helplessly chuckled after hearing that. "I will hang up now and make an appointment. Wish me luck."
[Always dear.]
After that, Nancy hung up as she promised and looked at her phone. She took a deep breath first before scrolling through her phone book.
She shortly found Diamond’s number and nervously dialed.
The phone rang a couple of times before it was answered.
Seeing that the phone was answered, she respectfully greeted first as Diamond was the person who would hold her future in her hands if she were to accept the job.
"Hello, ma’am!"
[Hello, Nancy. Have you thought it through?] without wasting time, Diamond asked directly.
Nancy couldn’t help but faintly smile upon hearing how direct Diamond was.
Nevertheless, she still answered as she indeed didn’t want to waste time too. "Yes, I have thought about it. I will accept it."
[That’s perfect then. If you are free, come over to the hotel. We can sign the contract today and finish the rest when you are in Srad.]
Nancy smiled happily upon hearing that. "I will drop by in two hours. Will you be there?"
[Yes, I will be there. Just look for Betty when you arrive. She will escort you to the suite.]
"Thank you, ma’am. I will see you then."
[Hmm.]
Nancy was so excited even after the call had ended.
Afraid of keeping Diamond waiting, she quickly rushed to the bathroom, where she took another shower. After showering, she changed into a black knee-length skirt, a white blouse, and a pair of black wedges.
After dolling herself, she happily left the hotel, took a taxi, and headed towards Ace Hotel for her second meeting with her future boss.
Around the same time, in a certain luxurious apartment, Sullivan was on the phone as he blew some smoke rings in the sky.
"Are you sure that she won’t suspect a thing?" Sullivan asked doubtfully after hearing his brother’s plan.
[Van, that won’t be an issue. What you need to think about is how to work your magic and make sure that she gets interested in both of us. You wouldn’t want her to be interested in just one person, would you?]
Sullivan felt frustrated at the thought of being unable to get the woman that he wanted so badly.
"Brother, don’t even start. I will do every trick in the book to make her ours. I just don’t want her to hate us or me for tricking her. No sane girl would agree to our arrangement." Sullivan aired his worries as he said that.
[Then work the magic. I am not a good talker, so I can only leave this job to you.]
Sullivan sighed deeply after hearing his brother’s statement. He suddenly felt as if a heavy burden had been placed on his shoulder and he knew how serious it was.
