Chapter 29 Have Dinner Together?
Later, when I arrived at Reynaldo’s company, it was already an hour after work, and there weren’t many people here.
I went directly to the floor where Reynaldo’s office was located.
I originally thought that if the secretary was there, I could just ask the secretary to bring the food to Reynaldo.
Unexpectedly, there was no one in the office.
Had Reynaldo already left?
I went to the door of Reynaldo’s office suspiciously and knocked.
I thought there was also no one in it. But the next second, a familiar deep voice sounded from inside.
“Come in.”
My heart raced a bit as I slowly opened the door.
Then, I saw Reynaldo sitting at his desk, reading documents.
He had a slight frown on his face, looking very serious.
Reynaldo was good–looking and had a good figure. After he became a successful businessman, his temperament directly rose by several levels. successful businessman, his
When he was working, he looked even more charming.
I suddenly regretted not falling in love with him earlier.
If I did, those three years of marriage wouldn’t be filled with bad
memories.
But I then thought about it and sighed in my heart, “Forget it.
“Even if I fell in love with him back then, it still couldn’t change anything.
“The one in his heart is Kimberly. If I fell in love with him earlier, I would suffer more.
Just as I was lost in thoughts, I suddenly felt a gaze on me.
Instinctively, I raised my head, only to meet Reynaldo’s eyes.
My heart raced, and I immediately averted my gaze.
I had waited for a few seconds, but I hadn’t heard Reynaldo saying anything.
I looked at him again. He had continued his work, acting as if he hadn’t
seen me.
So, I just stood there silently, not daring to bother him.
Suddenly, Reynaldo tugged at his tie and looked at me with an annoyed expression, asking, “What are you doing here?”
He sounded like he didn’t wanna see me.
I suppressed the sadness in my heart and hurriedly put the dinner box on the table, explaining, “To send you your dinner.”
“You send me my dinner?” Reynaldo glanced at me with some sarcasm in his eyes. “What’s in there for you? You want more money? 1.5 million dollars isn’t enough?”
“It’s not…”
He mentioned last night’s 1.5 million dollars in such a sarcastic tone, which made me feel even more embarrassed.
I explained in a low voice, “I’m really just here to…”
“Reynaldo!”
Before I could finish my words, Kimberly came, calling out to Reynaldo in a sweet tone.
There was also a meal box in her hand.
When she saw me, she was slightly stunned and then smiled, “Ms. Duffy, you’re here.”
“I… I’ll be off now,” I said hurriedly and was about to leave.
But Kimberly stopped me and smiled kindly at me, “Since you’re here, why not join us for dinner? I made a few dishes myself.”
While speaking, she pulled me to the table.
But when she saw the meal box on the table, she was slightly stunned, asking, “Well, Ms. Duffy, you also brought some food for Reynaldo?”
Before I could say anything, Kimberly pulled Reynaldo over.
Reynaldo had never looked straight at me tonight.
I sat next to him, clearly feeling that he was unhappy.
Was he blaming me for interrupting his dinner with Kimberly?
I wanted to leave now.
But Kimberly suddenly opened the meal box I brought over and exclaimed, “Wow! Ms. Duffy, you’re really an excellent cook! These
dishes look so delicious!”
“The maid made them,” I responded lightly.
Right after my words fell, a cold sneer sounded from next to me.
I turned my head and saw that Reynaldo’s face was stained with some
sarcasm.
I pursed my lips and thought, “If there’s a next time, maybe I should cook for him myself.
“Though my cooking is bad, he could at least see my sincerity.”
At this time, Kimberly said to Reynaldo with an aggrieved look, “Why didn’t you tell me Ms. Duffy would bring you dinner tonight? If I had known it, I wouldn’t have made so many dishes.”
“It’s not a problem.” Reynaldo took Kimberly’s meal box. “I’ll eat your cooking,” he said lightly.
Kimberly immediately smiled sweetly, “Then I’ll eat the food Ms. Duffy brought. They look so delicious. It’ll be a waste if no one tries them.”
Reynaldo didn’t say anything.
I pushed the meal box to Kimberly’s front and smiled at her, “Eat more if you like them.”
After a short pause, I said to the two of them, “Enjoy your dinner. I’ve got something else to do. I gotta go.”
Kimberly hurriedly asked, “You’re not eating some?”
“I’ve caten at home,” I replied with a faint smile and then left.
Just as I walked out of the office, I heard Kimberly’s aggrieved voice.

“Reynaldo, I feel like Ms. Duffy doesn’t like me.”
Reynaldo said lightly, “Just ignore her.”
I lowered my eyes, feeling a bit of pain in my heart again.
When I got out of the building, it was already dark outside.
As I didn’t want Madisyn to worry, I sat at the roadside for a long time before going back.
When I got home, Madisyn asked me with some confusion, “Why didn’t Mr. Humphrey come back with you?”
I felt that Madisyn misunderstood something.
The one Reynaldo loved was Kimberly.
Therefore, the place where Kimberly lived was Reynaldo’s home.
For Reynaldo, coming home meant going back to Kimberly’s place.
As for this villa, Reynaldo bought this place especially to humiliate me.
This villa could remind him of the humiliation he had during those three years of marriage. So, of course, he wouldn’t be willing to come here.
I didn’t say anything to Madisyn and directly went back to my room to sleep.
I had to look for a job tomorrow. I didn’t wanna bother with those romantic love things.
Making money was my current priority.
The next day, I waited until noon but received no interview invitation.
I began to think about sending my resume to apply for some other jobs.
But in the afternoon, two companies called me and informed me to have an interview at 9 am tomorrow morning.
I was so excited!
I immediately went out to buy myself a professional suit.
The next morning, I dressed up and went for the interviews.
There were two interviews. One for the secretarial job, and the other for the sales job.
I went to have an interview for the secretarial job first.
Perhaps because I had never worked before, I was a little nervous when I saw a row of interviewers in front of me.
Fortunately, it wasn’t very difficult. I first operated some office software in front of the interviewers and then answered their questions.
I finished the interview in less than half an hour.
But the result was that I didn’t pass it.
I didn’t know where I did wrong, but I didn’t dare to ask.
After leaving that company, I immediately went to have another interview at another company.
It was real estate sales.
This interview wasn’t difficult either. The interviewer observed me briefly and then asked me a few questions.
I thought I answered quite well and should be able to get this sales job.
However, I still didn’t pass it.
Chapter 29
The interviewer told me that I didn’t fit in that job, saying that I didn’t look like someone who could endure hardships.
I was stunned for a moment, walking on the street blankly.
Lavonne told me that secretarial jobs were very easy, and being a salesperson was even easier. There was barely a threshold for these jobs.
However, I failed the interviews for both jobs. Was I really that incapable?
I suddenly began to doubt myself.
1 walked on the street blankly, keeping reflecting on myself.
Suddenly, someone called out to me from behind.
Hearing that voice, I couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Before I could turn around, that person had already rushed to my front.
