Chapter 14

At Natalie's repeated interrogation, I had no choice but to admit that Michael was my one-night stand.

“Anna, I think Michael Shaw is quite a decent choice. You'll definitely be better off with him than thescumbag, Justin.”

Probably hoping that I would get over my breakup sooner, Natalie started planting rotten ideas into mymind.

Shaking my head in exasperation, I lamented her impressive imagination inwardly.

We only had a one-night stand, and there's nothing going on between us. Besides, we're from differentworlds. He's a big shot who can shake up the entire city with a flick of his hand and has assets all overthe country. Everyone knows that he's an invisible tycoon though he keeps a rather low profile.

“It's impossible between Michael Shaw and me, so don't let your imagination wander.”

After saying that, I headed back to my room to rest.

“He's Justin's immediate superior. Didn't you see how Justin bowed and scraped like a commoner toroyalty when he saw him today? Ah, just the thought of you dating him feels gratifying!”

Natalie's comment halted me in my tracks. For a brief moment, I was indeed tempted. Admittedly, Iwanted revenge against Justin, for anger and hatred blazed within me whenever I saw him with Mabel.

However, it was only a fleeting thought that was gone in the next moment.

Michael Shaw and I have no interaction at all, nor do I have any idea why he was at the bar that day.Oh well, perhaps rich people have their own troubles as well. Anyway, that's none of my business. Themost important thing now is to get into the right mindset again and replace another job!

My previous workplace was too far from Justin's office, so I handed in my resignation letter. Initially, Iwas planning to replace a suitable job at a nearer place after getting married.

Alas, not only did the wedding fall through, but I also lost my job. I was probably the most patheticwoman in the world, having sacrificed everything for the sake of a scumbag...

Another two days went by, and I gradually got over the breakup with Natalie's persistent counseling. Itfinally dawned on me that it wasn't worth feeling anguished over a jerk who betrayed me.

In the past few days, my life became peaceful once again. I felt that I was ready to start afresh.

On this particular day, I woke up early in the morning and washed up. As I was going for an interview, Ichanged into a formal dress before applying light makeup to appear more presentable and competent.

I majored in copywriting, so I was going to attend an interview with an advertising company.

When I arrived at the biggest advertising company in Avenport, I stared at the towering building.Sweeping my gaze from the bottom to the top, a sense of dizziness assailed me.

Previously, I was working in a small advertising company, so my bonus was meager even when myperformance was outstanding. I knew that I would only have better prospects if I made it in a biggercorporation, and that was why I chose to interview with this company.

There was only one flaw, though—Justin was also working here. Initially, I didn't want to choose thiscompany, but for the sake of my future, I endured the revulsion of having to work with that jerk in thefuture and came here for an interview.
