Chapter 217
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
I nodded. My heart felt warm from his words. With the tears brimming in my eyes, I forced a smile,
âYeah, okay!â
After a pause, I continued, âIâm planning to go back during the upcoming public holiday!â
He furrowed his brows, âYou havenât fully recovered yet!â
âIâm all better now!â I always felt that he was treating me like a porcelain doll. I said helplessly, âI had
been resting for the past two months. Moreover, I can rest in K City too. I can find a job that is not so
tiring.â
He gave some thought and nodded, âFine. But you donât have to rush for the job. I will settle it for you. I
have houses in the city too. Iâll find a nearby house after knowing your workplaceâs location.â
I wanted to reject him, but he interrupted, âJust nice there are vacancies in my company. Since you
think you owe me a favor, you can come and help out. Also, Iâm going to collect rent from you too. Iâll
deduct ten percent of your salary for the rent.â
I was speechless and said helplessly, âI still have some savings. You donât have to do this for me.
Anyways, I was planning to find something else to do.â
âYes, I know!â He seemed a little angry knowing that I was rejecting him.
I did not say much after looking at him.
Whatever. The White familyâs business was big. If he really had the heart to help me, it will be easier for
me in the future too.
After I made the decision and had dinner, he asked someone to pack up. We were ready to leave
tomorrow morning.
The next day.
The daylight came later in the late autumn. The sky slowly turned bright only at seven.
I woke up early to clean up. By the time I was done, Marcus was already waiting downstairs.
Noticing my arrival, he kept his phone and spoke, âGrab a quick bite. We will set off after youâre done
eating!â
I nodded in response and nibbled on some bread. He knew that I didnât usually eat much, so he
furrowed his brows as he looked at me dine, but he didnât say much.
After bringing me to the car, he started the engine and passed me a notebook, âI found a few job
positions that suit you. Take a look and let me know which do you prefer. I will settle it. You can start
working after the holidays!â
I flipped open the notebook, and the neat handwriting first came into sight. I took a look. He had listed
around ten job positions, and they were all easy jobs.
I furrowed my brows, âCan I do projects? Or you can put me under the project management
department. Iâm fine with starting from the bottom!â
He nodded, âAlright. The project director just went home after an accident. You can replace him.â
I was stunned for a moment. I never thought he would agree so quickly and asked, âYou are going to
decide just like that? Wonât you worry that my ability is not of standard and ruin your company?â
He took a side glance at me and smiled, âWill you?â
I pursed my lips, âThatâs hard to say!â After all, I had not been working for almost a year.
At the traffic junction, he rested his arms on the steering wheel and looked at me, âIf you could handle a
huge project like Fuller Corporation, White Corporation would just be a piece of cake!â
I didnât know how to react to him. He was humble with his words. White Corporation was huge, and
they worked towards internationalization. Fuller Corporation was huge as well, but it still lacked at
certain aspects.
The traffic at the city center was fairly heavy. Marcus briefly explained the company history of White
Corporation while driving. He also told me some general work affairs and current developments in the
company to prepare myself.
Benjamin White wasnât very well, so Marcus had been taking care of the company in place of his father.
He would occasionally face some difficulties, and he admitted that he had his own motive for arranging
me into his company.
He wanted to nurture his own trusted men.
The car entered the Central Park residence in the city center and stopped under a residential block.
I looked at the surroundings and was shocked. This area was in the city center, where the housing
prices were staggeringly high. Even upper-middle-class people could barely afford the housing in this
area.
He saw me staring and smiled, âLet me bring you in first. We can buy whatever thatâs lacking
afterward!â
I looked at the time and said, âYouâre not going to the office today?â
He smiled faintly, âIâm having a week-long holiday!â
Alright then!
We entered the residence, and he spoke when the elevator door opened, âThis area is nearby the
office. Weâll see whatâs missing in the house and get it at the supermarket nearby. I will bring you to the
office two days later. You can take a look at the surroundings and see whatâs lacking, then buy them
later.â
I nodded in response and thought, Iâm probably the person who has the least worries at work. The boss
had already settled everything.
The house was on the tenth floor. It was not high and spacious. The interior was cozy yet different from
the villa. But it was comfortable to live in.
I looked at the arrangements of the rooms and looked at him, âThe rental should be a few hundred
thousand, right? Especially since itâs located in an expensive land like the K City.â
He raised his brows, âAre you worried about the rental?â
I shook my head and smiled, âI was wondering what are property investors like you were thinking. You
bought the house and renovated it nicely. But no one lives nor rent here. Itâs such a waste to just leave
it like this!â
