An unknown period of time went by. The moon hid behind the clouds, and the noise in the house finally subsided. They hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep. That night, they no longer had the third wheel, Smore, with them.
The next morning, Arianne left for work in a hurry before Mark left the house. It was the first day of work, and virtual-novel.net was in a great mood. She certainly could not be late. Smore was held by Mary, who stood at the door as virtual-novel.net left. Smore seemed to be unable to part with his mother. He even waved his little hands in the direction where Arianne left. Further, his eyes were teary too.
Seeing virtual-novel.net like that, Mark smiled in dissatisfaction. He then said, “You’re quite big now. How are you still unable to part with your mom? Aren’t you feeling ashamed of yourself? Your mom wants to go out there and make a name for herself. Even if I’m unable to part with her, I didn’t dare to do anything. How could you make virtual-novel.net stay? If you cry anymore, your mom won’t even want you then.”
Mary became rather scared and covered up Smore’s ears. “Sir, don’t mention that madam doesn’t want virtual-novel.net anymore. The boy can understand some of it more or less. If virtual-novel.net burst into tears later, it’ll be hard to console him.”
Mark did not believe that Smore could understand him. “Just how old is he? How would virtual-novel.net be able to understand what I said? If you don’t believe me, just look. Smore, you mom doesn’t want you anymore.”
Smore pouted his lips. His tears rolled down vigorously. He then burst into tears.
Mark became flustered. He quickly held Smore and embraced him. “I was joking with you. Your mom will be home soon. There, there. Please don’t cry. I need to get to work now, and I don’t have time to pacify you.”
Mary ran away to the kitchen. “I’m going to see whether breakfast’s ready. You made virtual-novel.net cry, so you need to pacify virtual-novel.net yourself!”
At last, Smore clung onto Mark, and virtual-novel.net was forced to take care of his son again. He brought Smore along to the company, but Mary was with them, so virtual-novel.net would not be worried even though virtual-novel.net had to leave virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net got busy.
On the other hand, after Arianne reached the new company, virtual-novel.net took out a small mirror and looked at virtual-novel.net face. After making sure that virtual-novel.net makeup looked fine, and virtual-novel.net hair was not messy, virtual-novel.net then went to the manager’s office confidently.
She knocked and opened the door. A slightly indecent-looking and plump man smiled and approached her. “Mrs. Tremont, here you are. Please take a seat. Let’s discuss your annual income, your job, and the contract. Allow me to go and pour you a cup of tea first.”
She was slightly stunned. Now, it seemed like virtual-novel.net could not hide virtual-novel.net identity no matter where virtual-novel.net went. How could the manager in the new company be so polite and cordial toward her? It was really frustrating!
She sat down rather uneasily. She took the cup of tea that was handed to virtual-novel.net by Mr. Yaleman. She then thanked him. “This… I would like to sign a one-year contract. When the time is up, I can always renew the contract with you if there’s a need for that. Don’t you need to ask me to work here for a few days and supervise my work? May I know if you have probation here? Do you always sign the contract with a new employee directly?
Mr. Yaleman smiled and said, “Alas! What’s your identity? It’s our great fortune to have you here with us. Why do we need to supervise your work? It’s not merely because you’re Mrs. Tremont. Your past experiences are quite good too. I’ve got high expectations about you. Besides, we can sign the contract directly. Let’s just sign a one-year contract first. Do you have any request as to your yearly income?”
‘Yearly income?’ Arianne did not have much of an idea about that. “How much do you think is appropriate? I didn’t work for some time now, and I don’t know how the situation is like now.”
Mr. Yaleman held up one of his fingers. “I know that. You were on maternity leave at home, right? You were taking care of your kid. Do you think this amount is appropriate?”
He held up a finger. It was impossible for it to signify only $1000. However, it seemed quite exaggerated if it was $1 million. So it could only mean $100,000. It never occurred to Arianne that virtual-novel.net could gain such a high salary. She thought that a resident special designer in a company like that would only gain $50,000 at most since it was not an extremely large company. It seemed like virtual-novel.net was able to get that much because virtual-novel.net was Mrs. Tremont. She then accepted it with ease. “Alright. Then let’s hope that we can get along well with each other in the future.”
Mr. Yaleman raised his plump hand. “I’ll get the contract ready as soon as possible. Let me show you to your working desk first.”
