You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 114

Irene's ovulation period was coming soon. She had never looked forward to Edric's phone call as much as she was now, but things went contrary to her wishes as he seemed to disappear all of a sudden and never called her again. Instead of Edric's, she received a strange phone call. It turned out that a company was impressed with her resume and requested her to attend an interview.

The company that Irene applied to was called the Cloudboat Company. It was quite famous in San Fetillo. Irene didn't have much hope when she applied for the job, but to her surprise, she was accepted.

Irene was delighted when she got this job. She called Kinsey and told her about the good news. After listening to her, Kinsey was happy for her too and offered to treat Irene to dinner for celebration. However, Irene refused Kinsey as she was the one who was supposed to treat Kinsey since this was a joyful event for herself. When Kinsey knocked off work at night, Irene went to the restaurant with Kinsey.

During their meal, Kinsey reminded Irene of what Irene should pay attention to when she went to the new company.

Bullying newcomers was a common situation in big companies like Cloudboat Company. If she wanted to gain a firm foothold, she had to eat dirt and faked a smile at people whenever she met them. It was said that big companies were places full of office politics. She advised Irene to be careful about the other employees and not trust people easily. Irene received a lot of advice at the end of the meal.

Irene reported to work at the new company. Her major was marketing management, hence she was assigned to the marketing department. Since she had just taken up the job, she didn't know much about the company culture. She couldn't help but be afraid of making mistakes.

Fortunately, the marketing department manager, Wilson, treated her well and went through all the jobs with her in person. Other colleagues in the office were very friendly to her as well. The situation Kinsey had described did not happen too. Such an incredible working atmosphere surprised Irene, and she adapted to it gradually.

One day, Wilson asked Irene to follow him to meet clients as he wanted Irene to familiarize herself with how the company worked. As he had dealt with the client in advance, the meeting this time went very smoothly, and they managed to close the deal quickly.

After that, Wilson directed Irene to head back first. Irene took the elevator downstairs, but she received a phone call from him again, saying that the client wanted to have dinner with them and proposed for her to tag along.

Irene had to return to the lobby again. She sat on the sofa watching TV while waiting for Wilson. "Miss Nelson?" A voice rang out behind her. She looked over and saw John. She didn't know since when he had stood next to her. "Why are you here?" John asked.

"I'm waiting for someone!" Irene answered briefly. As long as the place where John showed up, Edric would be not far away. She looked around subconsciously and did not see Edric.

John was Edric's most trusted subordinate. He must have taken part in scheming against her last time. Although she knew that it was his job, she could not have a good impression of a person who had stabbed her back. She continued to watch TV with a frosty face and did not bother John at all.

John did not care either when he saw her indifferent countenance. "Mr. Myers is here today too," he said. Irene did not reply to John. It had nothing to do with her whether Edric was there or not.

Suddenly, the elevator door opened. Wilson walked out with several men. Seeing John and Irene, Wilson was surprised and greeted, "John!" One of them then trotted over and greeted John very politely.
