Chapter 71 Interviewing for a New Job
Meredith did not give a direct answer.
“It’s all in the past, between me and Terrence Sterling, there will be no more interaction,” Meredith smirked, “I’m really grateful, the pregnancy was a misunderstanding, otherwise, it would have been quite… awkward.”
If that were the case, she and Fiona would not get along at all.
In the current situation, she and Fiona had fallen out, not to mention with a child in the mix.
Justin then realized that Meredith had mistakenly thought she was pregnant before, and the child would have been Terrence Sterling’s.
Meredith was firm in wanting to stay, which indicated that she had some feelings for Terrence Sterling.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to keep the child.
Justin was at a loss for words for a moment, changing the subject, “Have you had dinner? Shall I cook some noodles?”
“I’ve already eaten,” Meredith said, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Rest for a while, I’ll cook for you.”
“I can do it on my own…”
“I’ll do it.” Meredith got up and went to the kitchen, “If you want me to stay here feeling justified for a few days, I have to do something, do some work to pay rent.”
She gave the rent money to Justin, and Justin wouldn’t accept it. They had grown up together, known each other for so many years. She didn’t do those superficial things, doing household chores was more practical.
Justin smiled, “Okay, I’ll go close the door, it was left open, today I’ll taste your cooking.”
Upon hearing that Justin was going to close the door, Fiona outside hurriedly hid by the stairs.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Fiona came out from the stairs.
She stared at the closed door, her hand gripping the handle of her suitcase, her eyes filled with jealousy.
She was jealous of Meredith, wherever Meredith went, she could attract a man’s affection, Justin was always Meredith’s backing.
Justin clearly liked Meredith but never said it, only silently protected her from behind, unwilling to burden Meredith, being so careful in taking care of her.
And her?
She became Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend, was it really her, or was it only by pretending to be Meredith that she got him? Terrence Sterling disliked her, and in Justin’s eyes, she was also a useless person with no merits.
All because of Meredith, it was because Meredith was too dazzling, making everyone only see her.
Fiona didn’t go in to find Meredith anymore, she couldn’t let Meredith and Justin know she had been kicked out, wouldn’t that make them laugh at her?
Fiona silently vowed in her heart, she would make Justin and Meredith regret treating her this way today.
Fiona walked away with her luggage, harboring hatred in her heart.
Meanwhile, inside the house.
Meredith quickly cooked noodles for Justin, and Justin ate to his heart’s content.
“Meredith, there’s a search website for finding family, I’ve signed you up too,” Justin suddenly said, “Many orphans have found their biological parents through this website.”
“You signed me up?” Meredith actually had always longed to find her biological parents, she wanted to know why they didn’t want her.
Maybe she was abducted by human traffickers, or her parents had an untold secret, maybe other reasons?
Meredith also wanted a family, deep down, she yearned for it.
“I signed up, I signed you and Fiona up,” Justin said, “With technology and information advancement now, we can go back later to provide more information, making it easier to find them. Nowadays there’s a DNA database, where parents of missing children also register, providing DNA data, so with a comparison, it’s easy to find them.”
Among the three, Justin was the most enthusiastic about this matter, always trying through various channels to find his biological parents.
“Meredith, have you ever imagined what your parents are like?” Justin asked.
Smiling and shaking her head, Justin continued, “I’ve imagined but can’t figure it out. And you, Meredith?”
“I can’t imagine either,” Meredith also smiled, shaking her head, “I have no impression, no idea if they’re also looking for us, let’s go with the flow.”
Both held hope but weren’t too obsessed.
“You’ve been busy with work before, now that you’ve resigned, take a few more days to rest, the job search can wait,” Justin said, “I can provide for both of us, you won’t go hungry.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Okay.”
Meredith hadn’t thought she would find a job quickly, finding a job in Auroraville was not easy, it was too competitive now, with too many fresh graduates every year.
However, the next day, Meredith received an email inviting her to an interview, and it was with Falconer Holdings, the company she admired.
