Finally, Audrey took the business card and looked at it. Upon reading the words “Alpire Studio” printed on it, she glanced at Henley, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Henley, this seems inappropriate.”
Of course, she really wanted this job.
But she knew she was not qualified. If she remembered correctly, the minimum academic qualification in this company was PhD in design.
They also required overseas experience, and their aesthetics and work were exceptional.
“What do you mean? I only sent some of your university works to Cara.
She checked them, and she’s interested in you.”
Audrey was surprised. She didn’t expect Henley to do her such a favor. This made her even more embarrassed.
Henley saw that Audrey was still hesitant, so he comforted her gently, “Don’t worry. Cara won’t favor you just because I recommended you.
You still need to work hard to get this job. That’s why she scheduled you for an interview. I know it’s a bit rushed, but you can make a design drawing overnight, right?”
“Yes. I have enough time to make it.”
Finally, worries in Audrey’s heart dissipated. It was now replaced by the eagerness to give it a try.
Audrey needed a job, but she didn’t want to get it by taking advantage of connections. She wanted the employer to hire her because of her abilities. If it was about showcasing her abilities, she would give it a try.
At this moment, Audrey’s phone rang. It was Nicole calling. Nicole was already outside the cafe to pick Audrey up as they had planned.
After hanging up, Audrey looked at Henley and said apologetically, “Henley, I’m sorry. Nicole is already outside. I’ll treat you to dinner next time.”
The corners of Henley’s mouth curved into a gentle smile.
“It’s okay.
You go ahead.”
He watched Audrey get into Nicole’s car. As soon as they drove away, his smile gradually faded away.
It was replaced by an expression that could send a chill to the depths of people’s hearts.
Nicole took Audrey to Temple Bar.
They entered and booked a booth.
It was only seven o’clock, so there were only a few customers in the bar. It was expected to be bustling from midnight onward.
Nicole ordered wine for herself and grapefruit juice for Audrey.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they had a lot of catching up to do. Nicole asked concernedly, “How’s your relationship with Cornell recently?”
Audrey answered, “Soon…”
What she meant was they were going to divorce soon.
Judging from the number of calls Cecilia made to Cornell today, it was evident that Cecilia would surely take action to make their divorce happen.
Audrey knew that Cecilia would do everything to get Cornell. So she already expected that she and Cornell would divorce soon.
This time, it was Audrey’s time to ask.
“How about you? What have you been doing recently?”
Audrey and Nicole had been friends for a long time, so Audrey knew Nicole very well. She noticed that Nicole was a little mysterious recently.
Audrey had to ask because she no longer worked in the Clement Group, and she didn’t gather any information as readily available as before.
When she heard that Jarrod was back, she was worried about Nicole, thinking Jarrod might find Nicole. But she comforted herself that Jarrod was already engaged and would get married next month. Probably, Jarrod wasn’t interested in Nicole anymore.
“Same as always,” Nicole answered. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip, glossing over the topic.
Nicole knew that Audrey had been going through a lot recently. She didn’t want to share her problems with Audrey because she didn’t want to add to Audrey’s burden. Instead, she wanted to cheer Audrey up.
So, she suddenly took Audrey’s hand and said loudly, “The dance floor is empty. Let’s dance!”
Audrey’s body stiffened. She was not used to this kind of environment because she rarely went to bars, let alone danced.
In fact, she wouldn’t be here today if Nicole wasn’t in a bad mood and wanted to drink. Nicole was her best friend, so she had no choice but to accompany her.
Before Audrey could react, Nicole had already pulled her to the dance floor.
Sure enough, their beauty attracted people’s attention. Although there were only a few people in the bar, the surroundings became noisier when they applauded at the same time. Even the customers in the private rooms upstairs were shocked by the sudden noise downstairs.
“It’s still early. Why is it so noisy downstairs?” Luis walked out and asked the waiter.
“It’s because of the two pretty ladies on the dance floor. It’s a pity that they came too early. There are not many people at this time. Otherwise, with such stunning girls, it would definitely be a hit tonight,” answered the waiter.
Luis rested his elbow on the railing, leaned slightly sideways, and looked downstairs. His captivating eyes smiled.
He didn’t expect to see Nicole and Audrey here. He knew them.
Something came to Luis’ mind. He took out his phone, took a short video, and sent it to their group chat.
Then he messaged, “Anyone interested?”
However, their group chat was silent.
At this moment, Cornell was still in the ward. The doctor had already given Cecilia two shots, and her condition stabilized.
When Cecilia woke up and saw Cornell, she immediately held his hand tightly and cried pitifully.
“Cornell, I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore.”
Deep down, she felt triumphant. As expected, when Cornell found she fainted, he rushed to check on her.
Yet, Cornell suddenly remembered Luciana’s words today. He frowned and broke free from Cecilia’s grip.
Cecilia was momentarily taken aback and didn’t react.
“Cecilia, this hospital has the best doctors in this country. If this happens again, tell Jocelyn to immediately call a doctor. I’m sure they can help you. After all, I am not a doctor.”
Cecilia was deeply moved by Cornell’s words, thinking he still cared about her.
She deliberately put on a pitiful look, bit her lower lip, and asked sadly, “Cornell, you haven’t divorced today. Will you go through the procedure tomorrow?”
Obviously, Cecilia still believed that Cornell would marry her. In fact, she couldn’t wait to be his wife.
But Cornell’s reply was not what she wanted to hear.
“Grandpa is still sick and in the hospital. Audrey and I won’t divorce for the time being.”
His words came like a bolt from the blue.
