Chapter 30 Doubt Myself

“Ms. Duffy, it’s really you!” Kimberly looked at me excitedly, saying, “I saw a familiar figure, and it really is you. Why are you sitting at the roadside alone?”

Since Kimberly was here, Reynaldo might also…

As I had expected, the next second, Kimberly pulled Reynaldo over from behind me.

“Look, Reynaldo. It’s really Ms. Duffy."

Reynaldo looked at me indifferently, with no expression on his face. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.

Kimberly suddenly shook his arm and pouted, “Come on, Reynaldo. Ms. Duffy is your ex-wife. At least, you should say hello to her.”

Her words made me feel a bit embarrassed.

Just as I was about to find an excuse to leave, Reynaldo suddenly said to Kimberly, “We should go now. Aren’t you in a hurry?”

“Oh, well. Actually, I’m not.”

With that, Kimberly suddenly grabbed my hand and gave me a friendly smile, saying, “I saw a limited edition necklace yesterday. When Reynaldo found out about it, he insisted on buying it for me. Ms. Duffy, you should join us. Maybe you can help me judge if that necklace is worth buying. It’s a couple million dollars.”

I lowered my gaze and couldn’t help but feel sad in my heart.

It was so difficult for me to even borrow 1.5 million dollars from Reynaldo. For that money, I even threw away my self-esteem and dressed like a whore to seduce him, allowing him to humiliate me however he wanted.

But Kimberly just said a few casual words and made Reynaldo willing to buy her a necklace that was worth a few million dollars.

I knew I couldn’t be compared with Kimberly.

But when I thought about it, I still couldn’t help but feel bitter in my heart.

I withdrew my hand and refused in a flat tone, “I’m sorry. I’m not good at evaluating jewelry, so I can’t help you.”

Kimberly responded with a bit of disappointment. When she lowered her gaze, she suddenly saw the resume in my hand.

“Wait. Ms. Duffy, are you looking for a job?”

I subconsciously hid my resume behind me and didn’t reply to her.

But Reynaldo suddenly chuckled with a hint of mockery in his voice.

I bit my lower lip tightly, feeling embarrassed and insecure again.

I remembered clearly that Reynaldo once said that I knew nothing except for eating.

In his eyes, I was good at nothing.

I pursed my lips and said to them, “You two go shopping. I have something else to do. Bye.”

“Hey, wait!” Kimberly pulled me and said to Reynaldo, “How about letting Ms. Duffy be your secretary? She’s definitely more capable than me.”

“No, no, no…” I immediately shook my hands. “I’ve already found a job.”

Kimberly looked at me, asking with concern, “Really? What kind of a job? Is it good?”

I pressed my lips together, not knowing how to reply.

Reynaldo chuckled, staring at me with disdain in his eyes.

I clenched my resume tightly in my hand, saying, “It’s a good job. You don’t have to worry about me.”

But Kimberly still looked worried and told me, “Reynaldo needs a secretary more. He originally wanted me to take that job. But I saw you were looking for a job, and I was considering letting you get that job. But since you’ve already got one, just forget about my words just now.”

“Thank you anyway. But I really gotta go. Bye.”

With that, I quickly strode across the street.

Sometimes, I felt that Kimberly was over-enthusiastic. Anyway, I didn’t like to talk with her.

I made no progress in the morning. In the afternoon, I went to the Internet café and submitted many resumes again.

When I got back to the villa, I was so exhausted and lay on the bed, spreading my limbs.

Madisyn came and suggested again that I should go send Reynaldo his dinner.

Thinking of the unpleasant scene from last night, I immediately refused.

With Kimberly around, Reynaldo didn’t need to worry about his stomach. If I went to send him food, it would only make me look funny.

But when Madisyn saw me lying lazily on the bed, she couldn’t help but sigh. “If you keep being like this, your husband will be stolen away by other women.”

I thought with self-mockery in my heart, “Be stolen away? Reynaldo has never been my man.”

Even though I thought so, thinking of what happened earlier on the street still made me feel bad.

In the evening, I did some research and preparation for the jobs I submitted my resume for.

I didn’t believe that I couldn’t even find an ordinary job.

Unfortunately, the cruel reality damped my passion.

In the next two days, I received no interview notifications.

And my inbox was empty.

I began to doubt myself again.

But Lavonne comforted me, saying, “It’s not your problem. It must be that you’re too good for those jobs.”

I suddenly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking Lavonne really had her ways to comfort people.

She also said to me, “Just wait for me. When I make my name in the show business, I’ll definitely support you in your career!”

Back then, after graduation, the scandal between me and Reynaldo ruined my reputation, making me unable to enter the show business.

On the contrary, Lavonne had already received many good film offers and had a bright future. But in the end, she was sent abroad by her stepmother.

It was said to send Lavonne for further education. But in fact, her stepmother just wanted to kick her out of the family.

When Lavonne was back, there was already no place for her in the show business.

After chatting with Lavonne for over an hour, I felt much better.

I knew it. I felt like I couldn’t live without Lavonne.

As for Reynaldo, well, he was just a man who didn’t love me. I shouldn’t feel sad because of him.

With my bestie’s encouragement, I was full of confidence again.

The next day, I went to the Internet café for another round of resume-submitting in the morning and planned to go to the job market in the afternoon.

Just on my way to the job market, I received a call from a company, and they informed me to go for their interview now.

I felt joy in my heart, thinking that a positive future was waiting for me.

This interview was for sales marketing.

According to their notification, I went to a large shopping mall.

The interview location was in an open space on the second floor.

When I got there, there were still applicants queuing up.

There were two interviewers. A man and a woman.

I heard they were going to recruit more than ten people. Seeing that there weren’t many people coming for the interview, I guessed the competition was not that fierce, and I thought I should be able to get this job this time.

However, what made my heart sink was that the ones before me in the queue all passed the interview.

Finally, it was my turn. But just after I finished my self-introduction, that female interviewer said I didn’t fit the job.

I was so upset. But still, I asked her why.

She replied with some sarcasm in her tone, “Seriously? You used to be a rich young lady. How is it possible for you to do this job well? Ms. Duffy, you wanna experience a mortal’s life? Go somewhere else. Don’t compete with us. We’re just some ordinary people, and it’s not easy for us mortals to get a job for a living. Next!”

The one behind me quickly pushed me to the side.

I stood there blankly, not knowing what to do now.

Indeed, the Duffy family used to be a wealthy family, and a lot of people in Freybourne knew about me.

But who said that a former rich young lady couldn’t do ordinary jobs?

I reckoned that this female interviewer had some prejudice against me.

But although I didn’t wanna accept it, I didn’t say anything. After all, she was the interviewer.

I sighed helplessly and turned, ready to leave.

But suddenly, I noticed a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye. I panicked a bit and hurriedly lowered my head to stride away.

However…
