Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

It was early in the morning.

Josie was woken up by a phone call. “Hello?”

“Josie, our director wants to personally give you a promotion and a raise. When will you be coming back to work!” Lydia’s tone was persuasive.

Josie’s drowsiness subsided a little as she listened to that. For the past few days, she had been particularly sleepy.

Josie rubbed her forehead and felt a sense of irony.

Prior to that, simply because of some words from Ashley’s manager, Dahon Corporation had fired her regardless of her years of efforts in the company. Yet, owing to her ties with Henry, they began to fawn over her.

“Lydia, no need. Since I’ve already been fired, I won’t go back.” Josie sat up on the bed. She had a bad headache.

“Josie, it was a misunderstanding. You see, the director made that call himself, so I think maybe you could do the company a favor. Besides, the salary adjustment and benefits that would be offered to you really look promising. It’s not wise to say no to money, don’t you think?”

Josie froze for a moment. To be honest, she wavered.

She was strapped for cash, so she needed a large amount of money.

In the end, Josie still chose to turn down the offer. ‘I’m sorry, Lydia. I can’t go back to the company.”

She thought, “Dignity and honor are all that mattered, after all”

To think that she had been so lowly for loving Henry for ten years, she could not imagine still relying on him to get an advantage at work.

Lydia wanted to say something more, but Josie had already hung up the phone.

Josie leaped up from the bed and entered the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she noticed that her face was pale, making her seem more miserable than ever.

The marks on her neck had not subsided. Those vivid fingerprints only served to remind Josie that Henry wanted her dead that fateful night.

It was then that a knock sounded on the door.

Josie returned to her senses and forced herself to hold back her tears.

Putting on a high–collar sweater, Josie glanced at the time. “Why is he here so early?” she muttered to herself.

Outside the door was Samuel carrying breakfast in his hands.
