Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 59

Chapter 59 The sea breeze was slightly chilly that night, and there was also rainfall at midnight. Josie did not sleep through the night as she sat by the window, gazing at the falling osmanthus outside. After putting or her coat. Josie stretched out her hand to catch the fallen leaves outside the window. When Josie was a child, her father planted an osmanthus tree. Josie’s father mentioned how he wanted his precious daughter to smell the fragrance of the osmanthus when she woke up. Josie smiled. It was as if these perfect moments happened only yesterday. The next morning It was clear that Samuel also could not sleep as he was already sweeping the leaves in the courtyard before the sun rose. Since it rained during the night, the sunlight in the daytime was rather pleasant. Josie’s eyes were a little swollen as she walked out of the door. “Good morning.” “Good morning.” Samuel was still the same. It was as if he was not the guy who confessed his love the night before. On the contrary, Josie did not feel embarrassed at all. She then went to see Cyrus with Samuel, and they left some gifts and money on their visit. “If you want to come back next time, I’ll come with you.” Along the way, Samuel glanced at Josie. In response, Josie nodded and said, “Thank you.” Cyrus had given Josie and Samuel many local specialties, including dried fish that Cyrus dried himself, alongside radishes and vegetables Cyrus planted. “You’re able to move in today?” Josie saw the things Samuel carried in his arms and wanted to chuckle. Yep. Samuel replied without showing much emotion. Josie suddenly felt like taking a picture of Samuel. That rustic-style woven bag paired with a handsome man who was six feet two inches had unexpectedly brought about a different vibe. “Thank you, Samuel. I feel very happy,” Josie said.

After getting on the return bus, Josie looked out the window in silence. She initially thought she had lost the chance to come back to this place in her current lifetime. Josie was constantly running away, but she finally mustered up the courage to face things head-on. Memories were things that could bring about utter anguish but were also precious to someone. It was because it was what one used to have that was why it was precious and beautiful “Did you know? A shooting star is beautiful because it disappears quickly and leaves only a dazzling trail behind,” Josie whispered. It was as if Josie was asking Samuel and muttering to herself simultaneously. Samuel felt so sorrowful that he did not say anything

Samuel hoped that Josie would be able to continue to live her life. The three and a half hours long journey was a slightly bumpy ride. D 2/4 18:08 Wed, 8 May G Chapter 59 In the meantime, Josie leaned against the window and fell asleep, whereas Samuel carefully slid his hand under Josie’s head Things were quiet on the long-distance bus ride, except for a few elderly folks who got off the bus along the journey. Soon, only Josie and Samuel were left. Staring at an already adeep josie, Samuel’s gaze became more complicated. What exactly Samuel about to do to Josie? “Jo everyone knew you’re Samuel’s girlfriend after the class reunion party. There were even p a p a r a z z i taking pictures of you guys. That’s just appalling. Madelyn quipped Madelyn was at Josie’s rented apartment. She was dressed in pajamas and had applied a face mask, Then, Josie came out of the bathroom and casually applied moisturizer on herself. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“That’s so unfair. I spent a huge sum on my face, but all you have to do was apply some moisturizer, Madelyn complained. Josie looked at Madelyn, who had a mud-covered face, and wanted to laugh. “Are you not going to work?” Tm off work today. Could you come with me?” Madelyn said as she pulled Josie’s hand. I can’t. I need to go for an interview,” Josie packed up her things and hurriedly prepared to leave. Tm also taking you to the interview. My acquaintance from Clusia Media Group’s HR Department said the company is short on an agent. You’ve got no issues with professionalism and capability, and you’ll get a generous salary package too.” Madelyn blinked at Josie. I can’t. I’ve never ventured into that industry before.” Josie packed her things and ran out as she needed to wait for the bus. Madelyn replied. “You’ve studied management. Why do you think you’re not capable? Jo, don’t make your life difficult for the sake of money. The annual salary goes up to hundreds of thousands!” Josie ran toward the door and stopped. She then looked back at Madelyn with an intense gaze. “Speak properly.” “I wasn’t kidding. Of course, there might be a few newcomers in the beginning. You should know that A-list actress, Hazel, is retiring from the film industry. Think about it. If you brought in another A-list actress or actor, it’s going to be more than just having a hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollar annual salary.” Josie narrowed her eyes and looked at Madelyn with disdain. “Eat well, and less daydreaming. Clusia Media Group would never want me anyways. Ill be leaving now!” Josie hurriedly ran down the stairs to catch the bus. In order to smoothly find employment, Josie submitted her resume for a job far from the center of Hofcaster. The journey took more than two hours to transit from the bus to the subway alone. So, Josie had to get up at five o’clock in the morning to prepare and head out soon after.

If Josie could not catch the bus, she might not even have the time to eat breakfast. Josie hurriedly boarded the bus in a panic. Her heartbeat and breathing had become increasingly rapid. As Josie stared at her newly-bought bread in her hand, she had no appetite whatsoever. “Ah!” Josie cried out. At that time of the day, the bus was full of elderly folks. Josie was squeezed into the corner and bumped her head on the glass window. In turn, this made her vision darken. After that long ordeal, Josie’s eyes were sore to the point where tears had come out. Being squeezed in on the entire journey, she did not have time to eat anything. 0 18:08 Wed, 8 May Chapter 59 The bread Josie bought had already gone cold. She looked at it and sighed exasperatedly. Soon after, Josie put the bread into her bag and walked into the company premises. Hello, my name is Josie Yates, Tim here to apply for a job.” The girl at the reception then smiled at Josie. “This way, please.” Josie nerausly followed behind the girl and walked into the HR Department office.. “Ms. Yates, was it? We could agree on offering you a position. However, we’re currently not understaffed for the post you’ve applied for. Unless you’re willing to work your way up from the bottom…” Josie became stunned momentarily. She clenched her fingers and asked, “What do people at the bottom do?” “The products under our brand are short of offline salespersons. Here’s a list of several malls. If you think you’re capable. please go ahead and try.” The staff of the HR Department then gave Josie the list, got up, and left soon after. Josie stared at the list in her hand and pondered, “Since I’m here now, I better try it out.” “Was that the girl Ashley talked about? In what way did she infuriate Ashley?” the receptionist asked. Another staff member soon chimed in, saying, “She looks pretty. It must be an awful job to work as an offline salesperson.”

“Harmony Supermarket was on that list given to her by the boss. The Procurement Department’s manager is a real p e r v e r t. I heard the salespeople who went to negotiate business with him were all… It was also useless to call the police. He’s a sly man.” When she saw Josie leave the company, the girl at the reception spoke in a hushed tone and felt some pity: for Josie. Riverbank Supermarket. Josie held the list nervously and looked at the product information sent to her by the manager of the HR Department. “Hello, I’d like to see the manager of the Procurement Department, please.” Several staff members glanced at Josie. “Go line up over there,” they said. Josie opened her mouth in shock; she was startled. The number of people waiting in line ranged from at least 45, if not 50. The queue went all the way outside the entrance. Josie had never done such work before, but she held every occupation in high regard. When she first joined Dahon Corporation, she would wait outside a client’s company for a whole day just to meet the client in order to secure business cooperation for Dahon Corporation. Documents in hand, Josie walked over. Because she did not eat breakfast, she more or less felt low on blood sugar. Her vision began to darken, so she took out the bread that had gone cold and took a bite. Several people showed up later, and they seemed incompetent. They had cut in line and only queued in front of Josie at the behest of the other people’s disapproval. For a moment, Josie could not stand firmly, and the bread she held also fell onto the ground. Her eyes instantly reddened, and her nose became stuffy. After queuing up the whole morning, she finally got to meet the manager of the Procurement Department. Josie said, “Hello, I’m the salesperson from Eastern Corporation. I’d like to…” “It’s already noon, so we need to get off work. Come back in the evening!”, the person said as they pointed at the clock. They

Chapter 59 O May were about to go for lunch soon. “Apologies, but I’ll only delay you for a few minutes. I’ve been waiting all morning. “For the sake of getting into our supermarket, there are people who waited for three days. So what if you waited all morning?” After speaking, the manager of the Procurement Department, a middle-aged woman, shoved Josie away. Josie’s phone fell to the ground, causing the screen to shatter. Josie felt aggrieved as she bit her lip, but she did not say anything. As Josie looked at the list of customers given to her, Harmony Supermarket was next. Josie rubbed her temples and thought, I’d better head to the next one first
