Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 168

I made a U–turn at an intersection, trying to catch up with Kate for a clearer look, but she was nowhere to be found.

I felt a tinge of disappointment, but quickly shrugged it off–after all, I had no intention to get tangled up with them again, so there was no reason to be disappointed.

I composed myself and drove off.

Life after returning home was pretty chill. I either visited Oscar in the hospital or hung out with Leila and Quincy at Stella Wallace’s place.

Oscar was recovering well and was discharged about a week later.

On the day he was discharged, I went to pick him up, planning to introduce him to someone over a meal.

“Trene, where are you taking me?” Oscar asked curiously from the passenger seat.

“Have you heard of Raymon Homes?” I asked.

1 know it. That’s a good real estate company. I applied there once but didn’t get the job,” Oscar said, looking slightly surprised. “You’re taking me there?”

I chuckled, “Not to the company, but to meet the boss. Show him what you’ve got and if you get a chance to get in, start as a technician, Someone will guide you, and you can work your way up to be an engineer or a project manager.”

Oscar was clearly delighted and said excitedly. “Really? If I can get in, the opportunities there would definitely be better than my current company!”

“Definitely.” I had this plan all along. If I treat Oscar as my brother, I should take care of him like a brother.

Raymon Homes CEO was named Raymon. We agreed to meet at Blissful Brews.

Upon reaching the cafe, I made a call first.

Raymon happily said, “Great, come on in. I have a business partner here. We can all chat together”

“Sounds good.” I hung up the phone and said to Oscar, “Let’s go, they’re waiting for us.”

I pushed the door open, and a wave of coffee aroma washed over us, very
