A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 35 Better Than Yours.

Now that the “guests-of-honor” had arrived, most of the group followed Xandra to welcome them, leaving only Nancy and a few others behind.

When he saw the bunch of university students sucked up to those with power, Finnegan didn’t know whether to appreciate their realistic attitude to life or lament their actions.

“Finn, we should go over too.” Giving Finnegan a tug, Rhiannon whispered, “Amelia Rogan’s brother, Dexter, is a team leader in the Pentariver Group sales department. She says that her brother can get me an internship at the company. If I can gain experience working there, securing a job after graduation will be so much easier. In fact, it would be fantastic if I’m lucky enough to be offered a full-time position there.”

Rhiannon would never ingratiate herself with anyone for the sake of her future previously.

Evidently, her experience at home over the last few years had thought her a thing or two about the realities of life.

Feeling sorry for her, Finnegan held her hand. “Rhia, as long as I’m around, you don’t have to curry favor with anyone. I’ll make arrangements for your internship when the time comes.”

Even if he didn’t seek out Bernice, he could easily get the Miles family to provide her with an opportunity.

Thinking that her words had inadvertently hurt Finnegan’s pride, Rhiannon quickly clarified, “Finn, that’s not what I meant.”

“I know. You don’t have to explain.”

Meanwhile, behind the Mercedes-Benz S-Class that arrived was a Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

When the doors to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class opened, a young man around stepped out quickly. Ignoring Xandra and the others who went up to greet him, he walked to the front passenger seat and opened its door. “We’re here, my dear.”

Thereafter, a plum woman in her late thirties alighted.

The sight came as such a shock that Xandra gaped in disbelief.

The man was none other than Amelia’s brother, Dexter. Xandra had seen him more than once and had, in fact, intentions of seducing him on the account of his success.

Therefore, when she saw him address an older woman as “my dear,” she was simply dumbfounded.
