Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 45 Just by Chance

Jean couldn’t fall back to sleep after Edgar’s call. She went through the news, but the trending incident were removed. She zoomed in on the photo of Gigi sitting on the toilet and mumbled, “I should have poured more over her head.”

What a shame. She didn’t do her best. She cleaned up her house and headed out to look for work. She visited a few design companies, but none of them accepted her, not even as an intern.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Eyer. We are not hiring anymore.” “Ms. Eyer, you have an interesting resume. However, your designs are not quite the same as our company’s concepts. Please find work at another place.”

To put it simply, they either rejected her because she had been incarcerated before, or were worried they might be dragged into the feud between her and Edgar.

Jean rested on a bench between the office buildings. With a cup of instant coffee in hand, she watched as the steam rose into the air. Those passing by the area were all white-collar workers.

The tallest building in her view was stunning. ‘Royden Group’ was written proudly on the top of it. Jean remembered the time when Edgar bought the building. She was blocked at the entrance when it underwent renovation. She couldn’t even take a step into the building.

She recalled the time she left a boxed meal at the front desk, requesting the worker to send it to Edgar. But when she went back, the meal was lying amongst the trash.

She couldn’t understand at the time. She wanted to treat Edgar with sincerity. He returned it not with indifference, but with hatred and bitterness. Why would he marry a woman he absolutely hated?

Jean felt her eyes drying out. She lowered her head and wiped off the tear that shouldn’t be there. “Hello, are you Ms. Eyer?”
