Chapter 33

I hummed and laughed. “It’s alright, I’m doing fine. Later, make some delicious food for me; I want to eat until I’m full. Tomorrow, I’ll have the energy to look for a job.”

“Ah?” Madisyn sighed, “You still want to go out and find a job?”

“Well, find, we must find!”

The next day, I woke up early. Reynaldo hasn’t been staying overnight here these days, and I must say I’ve been enjoying the freedom. After tidying up a bit, I went to the job market in the morning and submitted a few resumes. Then, in the afternoon, I went to the internet cafe to submit my resume. All day long, my phone remained silent. There wasn’t even a single text message, let alone a phone call for an interview notification. It seems that the resume I submitted yesterday has also gone unnoticed. I leaned back in the chair in the internet cafe and daydreamed; negative emotions came up again. What should I do if I really couldn’t find a job? Don’t even talk about Reynaldo’s money; it was already a problem to support oneself. I covered my eyes with my hand and sighed.

At that moment, my phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. Thinking it must be a phone call about an interview notification, I quickly answered.

“Hello, is this Esmeralda Duffy?”

“Yes, it is.”

“We are Clicks Media. We are informing you that your resume has been approved by our Personnel Department. Please report to the company tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock sharp.”

Check-in? Did I hear it wrong? It’s not an interview, right? I hesitated and asked, “Don’t I need to have an interview first?”

“Your resume meets our requirements very well. You can come directly tomorrow to complete the onboarding process.”

The surprise came too quickly, and for a moment, I found it hard to believe. After hanging up the phone, I quickly checked my records of job applications. A couple of days ago, I indeed submitted my resume to a company called Clicks Media for a secretarial position. However, according to the information on the website, this company was very popular, and this position was also in high demand, with a large number of people applying for it. But why did their company specifically choose me, even eliminating the interview process?

Thinking about all this, I felt like I was dreaming and couldn’t quite believe it.

Lavonne came back. To celebrate my finally finding a job, she invited me to go to a bar and have fun. We arrived relatively early, and there weren’t many people in the bar. Lavonne has lost quite a bit of weight these days. I asked her, “Is Auntie feeling better?”

Lavonne nodded. “The condition stabilized, and there were no major obstacles ahead.” She paused for a moment, then laughed sadly again. “Oh, my heartless father, he was hoping for my mother to die early, but my mother refuses to die; it infuriates him!”

I shook her hand and said, “Don’t worry about him; just be good with Auntie.”

“Um, well.” Lavonne quickly changed her mood and smiled at me. “Don’t doubt yourself either; actually, not being able to find a job is really not your fault. Most people in Freybourne knew you; even though your family had fallen on hard times, they would never believe that a former wealthy young lady would actually do those ordinary and common jobs. They didn’t hire you; they were just afraid that after hiring you, you wouldn’t be able to endure the hardship and would run away, which would only increase their workload. Our Esmeralda, she was still very excellent.”

I watched her with tears welling up in my eyes. Lavonne was truly like a little sun, always warming me up. After comforting words were spoken, Lavonne pulled me to the dance floor to dance. However, just as we were getting up, we bumped into a woman. I was about to apologize when the woman immediately arrogantly shouted, “Who do you think you are? Do you have eyes or not?”

Lavonne had a fiery temper, and as soon as she heard this tone, she exploded instantly: “You have no eyes, and your whole family has no eyes!”

“You…” The woman glared angrily at Lavonne and quickly coquettishly pulled the man who was making a phone call next to her. “Mr. Dunlap, there are two ignorant and arrogant women bullying me. You must stand up for me.”

Lavonne shivered with goosebumps all over her body and disdainfully pursed her lips at me. And I watched the man making a phone call in astonishment. This is Johnathan, isn’t it?

Johnathan hung up the phone, embracing the woman, and proudly said, “Who dares to bully my baby…”
