Susan was taken aback again.

Monday to Friday? Why have the working days changed? When I applied for the job, didn't it say work would be on the weekends? otherwise, I wouldn't have submitted my resume.

She could not help thinking that it was odd. Nonetheless, since the other party had already stated their requirements, she began doubting herself and wondering whether she had made a mistake. In the end, she had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Ring... Ring...

Just then, her phone started ringing.

Hearing that, she took it out of her bag and answered the call. "Hello?"

"Aunt Susan, where are you? We just got back from fishing, and we caught lots of fish! Come back soon, okay? Kurt says we can cook up some barbecued fish tonight."

The call was from Vivian, and Susan's lips subconsciously curved into a smile when she heard the former's voice.

Although Vivian was oblivious to the point of heartlessness, she was very affectionate toward others, and Susan adored her.

Temporarily casting aside all thoughts about the failed job interview, she hailed a taxi and hurried home.

Indeed, it'll be nice to have a barbecue in this cool spring weather, and it'll be even nicer since we'll be having those freshly-caught fish.

She was about to reach the apartment when she deliberately made a little detour to the supermarket to purchase some vegetables for the barbecue before heading upstairs.

When Vivian opened the door, she was delighted to see Susan. "Aunt Susan, you're back! Kurt has already cleaned and prepped the fish."
