Chapter 768 Professor From Neve The managerâs interest was piqued upon hearing Deirdreâs final sentence.
âLeave your number, and Iâll see if thereâs anything up your alley.â
Deirdre did not have a phone, so she left Tobeyâs phone number.
A few days passed, but there was no response.
Just as Deirdre thought that she would not be able to land a job, Tobey returned from work at night and told Deirdre, âA woman called me today wanting to talk to you. Her name is Ms. Reed, and she is a manager somewhere.â 1 Deirdre perked up. âWhat did she say?â
Tobey said, âShe did not explain in detail after learning that Iâm not you. She told me to let you call her back when Iâm home.â
Deirdre hastily instructed Tobey to call the manager.
The manager picked up the call after a while and said before Deirdre could speak, âIs this Miss McKinnon?â
The manager chuckled and said, âYou hit the jackpot. I chatted with a highly â respectable professor with whom I have a rather close relationship, and he wanted to commission a piano teacher for his grandchild. Thus, I recommended you.â âReally?â
Deirdre was delighted and thanked the manager repeatedly.
âCould this be the sun that comes after the rain?â âI can see that youâre a rather honest person, while the professor is always ready to help someone in need. He knows youâre visually impaired, so he set a date for you to go to work immediately. Itâs the day after tomorrow, so please work hard and donât embarrass me.â
The manager added, âAs for the pay, youâll be making 70 dollars per day. Youâll work Saturdays and Sundays. I can see that you have a hard time making a living, so Iâm just going to take 15 dollars as a commission.
Thatâs not too much, right?â âThatâs not too much at all!â âAlright. You can come to my place the day after tomorrow, and Iâll take you there. Oh, right, remember to get yourself a phone tomorrow so you can be reached more easily. Donât be using your boyfriend as your middle person.â âSure, sure!â
After ending the call, Tobey approached her and asked, âWhatâs going on? Were you looking for a job?â
Deirdreâs cheeks blushed in joy. âHmm! I wasnât counting on landing a job, so I didnât expect that someone would actually be looking to hire a piano teacher coincidentally.â
Tobey felt heartfelt joy when he saw how delighted she was. He rubbed her hair and said, âYou deserve the best. I shall get you a phone tomorrow so you can be reached easily.â
âSure!â
Deirdre headed downstairs to meet the manager carrying her newly- purchased phone the day after tomorrow.
Shauna drove her to the destination and constantly guided her there. âThe man who hired you to be their piano teacher used to be a professor who taught at an elite university in Neve. He is venerable and highly respected, but his health isnât doing so well, so he moved to Substate to recuperate from his illness. You must know your place when you talk and act around him. He may be easygoing, but it doesnât mean that you can behave extravagantly either.â
Deirdre repeatedly nodded while Shauna said, âThe child youâll be teaching is a 17- year-old girl who is rather defiant. She has no sense of propriety in her speech and has infuriated multiple teachers into quitting. If youâre displeased at work, think of the money and put up with it anyhow. I wonât take extra commission from you when you get a raise.â
Deirdre memorized everything that she was told, and Shauna was pleased. The car stopped in the meantime, and she sent Deirdre to the villaâs door.
After knocking on the door, a girl with a ponytail opened the door and shut the door heavily after seeing the two strangers at the door.
Deirdre could not help feeling anxious in her heart when she felt the wind from the shutting door.
It seemed that the girl was not to be trifled with. Shauna rang the doorbell once again.
The girl opened the door, her expression impatient. âYouâre really annoying! You can go somewhere else if youâre looking to beg from door to door. Do you think Iâll give money just because youâre blind?â
Shaun could not help smiling apologetically. âMs. Ward, weâre not here to beg for money. Iâm the manager of a recruitment agency, Shauna Reed, and this is the piano teacher hired by Prof. Ward.â
