Chapter 8 She Gave it Up
The three of them had lunch at a restaurant next to the Moore Group. After lunch, Daisy needed to
carry on with her work.
Ann was going to the Second Prison in the River City to visit William.
Karl had planned to go along, but he suddenly got an urgent call, so Ann took a taxi there on her own.
In the reception room.
Behind the glass, William looked much thinner than five years ago when Ann had left, but he seemed
to be in good spirits.
"Dad..."
William looked at Ann, his eyes smiling, "I've read all the letters and seen all the photos you sent me
over the years. I feel relieved. Don't worry. I am doing well here. I work and exercise every day. People
here are not as scary as I thought. They've taken good care of me. I'll be out soon and our family will
be together again."
When Ann heard that, her eyes instantly turned red.
Here was still prison, no matter what William said.
"You said in the letter that you are together with Karl now? I knew he likes you. You two are together
now. Maybe it's fate. When are you two going to get married?"
In front of her father, Ann seemed a little uneasy and hesitant, and she looked away.
"After you come out."
William smiled and nodded, "Great. I've watched Karl grow up. He's a smart guy. If you think he is nice
to you, I will support your decision..."
Ann chatted with William and talked about her life abroad in the past few years in a low voice.
Seeing the obvious signs of age on William's face, Ann tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes
and curl up her lips into a smile.
All the darkness would pass, for sure.
...
After the visit, Ann first went to the apartment that Daisy had rented for her. When she almost tidied it
up, she got a call from an HR manager of the Moore Group.
She was informed that she had officially been given an offer. She heaved a sigh of relief and felt a bit
delighted. The Moore Group was a well-known enterprise, so it was fortunate for her to get a job in it.
Then, she thought of something and asked tentatively.
"May I ask if Karl Jobson is also hired? We were interviewed on the same day."
The HR manager said, "What a coincidence. I'm also responsible for informing him of our decision.
Unfortunately, he didn't pass the interview."
Ann's heart sank, as she thought of Karl's look after the interview. She bit her lip and said, "Sorry, I
want to give up my offer."
"Why?" The HR manager was shocked.
"Just for a personal reason. I want to thank the Moore Group for giving me the chance. Goodbye."
She hung up the phone directly. After all, turning someone down was not a happy thing to do.
"What ..."
Before the HR manager could reply, she felt someone's cold aura behind her. Everyone beside her
suddenly tensed up. She looked up and saw the sullen face of the CEO of their company.
Phillip said coldly, "You must make sure she will work here, no matter what!"
The HR manager could only follow his order without complaint.
...
When Phillip returned to his office, he remembered how the tearful girl frowned with her eyes blank. He
furrowed his brows even more tightly.
He finally picked up his phone to make a call.
"I heard that your firm is recruiting?"
It was a little noisy at the other end of the phone, "Yes, we're recruiting. What's the matter?"
"I have someone for you."
"Who? A man or a woman? I only want beautiful women here!"
"You're such a nuisance. It's a guy. His name is Karl Jobson. I'll ask someone to send you his
information later..."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Try giving him a heavy workload."
On the other end of the phone, Todd was intrigued, "Did he offend you?"Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Phillip said indifferently, "Just need to make sure he will be dog-tired."
Phillip hung up the phone. His gaze was intense and calm as he muttered in a low voice.
'Ann, I feel so sad. You gave up your job offer for a man!'
