Nora’s resignation letter had been printed out. However, when the department had a meeting in the morning, Steven said excitedly that there was an opportunity this time. They could re-participate in the bidding. As long as the design passed, they would probably get the design of the Rivertown Group Hotel.
Everyone was excited and happy, only Nora looked confused and indifferent.
Had Kingsley changed his mind?
She thought about it carefully, and finally thought that only Kingsley had this ability.
A complex emotion surged in her heart. Finally, she tore the resignation letter into the garbage can silently.
Because of the last experience, everyone cherished the opportunity they got again this time. The people in the design department were very excited. Everyone put all their energy on work and worked overtime every day.
Nora also worked overtime with them. When she went home at night, Kingsley didn’t come back either. He didn’t seem to be willing to see her, so he didn’t even come back for a week.
Although Kingsley did not go home, Nora reduced a lot of psychological pressure. But Nora sometimes didn’t understand where she had offended him, so that she was targeted by him. She thought for a while, and felt that the man was so weird that it was difficult for ordinary people to get along with him.
At noon, Nora and several colleagues were having dinner in the canteen. Jhon from the public relations department came to them and said, “I heard that our company didn’t qualify for this bidding at the beginning, but I don’t know why our company was selected again.”
“Maybe our boss went to talk about this in person. But Rivertown is a big company, so they could do whatever they want! The boss of Rivertown is really handsome, I don’t know whether he is married or not!”
“It’s said that he is going to be engaged to the Woods family. Do you know about it?”
Nora didn’t speak during the whole process. When she heard this, she quietly picked up the plate and smiled, “I’m full. There is still something to deal with, so I’m leaving first.”
Wherever she went, she could hear the name of the Woods family. She was really annoyed.
In the evening, Nora went to the mall to buy some skin care products after getting off work. Her skin was severely dehydrated in autumn. The phone rang at this time, it was a string of numbers without notes.
But she was familiar with it.
After ringing for a long time, Nora finally answered the phone.
“Nora, it’s me.”
Caesar’s voice was very deep. Nora frowned, “What’s the matter?”
“I’m on the second floor of the cafe on the street. Come here.”
“If you have something to say, just talk on the phone. I have limited time.”
Caesar was silent for a while, then said, “Are you with Kingsley?”
The expression on Nora’s face suddenly became stiff.
On the second floor of the cafe.
Caesar handed her the coffee and slowly said, “If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will try my best to help you.”
Nora glanced at him, “If you have something to say, just say it!”
Facing the man in front of her, Nora had never had a good expression. This kind of man who abandoned his wife and child for the sake of wealth and status should be struck to death by lightning.
“I know you are short of money, but you shouldn’t do it for money…”
Caesar didn’t make it clear, thinking that this would reserve her some dignity. He hoped that Nora would understand that it is not a glorious thing to be kept by a man.
Nora raised her eyebrows, “What’s wrong with me?”
Caesar sighed, “Leave him, you don’t have to give up your dignity for money. It is you who regretted the loss in the end.”
Nora really wanted to spill coffee on Caesar’s face, but she resisted doing so. She clenched her fingers and couldn’t help shaking, “You make it clear!”
“He is going to be engaged to Rosaline. What will you be, mistress or paramour? You are also my daughter, I don’t want you to be embarrassed in the future, so I come to remind you. I hope you can stop the loss in time.”
Caesar said this because he happened to see Nora getting in a valuable luxury car before, and later learned that the car belonged to Kingsley. Of course, he didn’t know that Nora and Kingsley were already married, but simply thought Nora was taken care of by Kingsley.
After all, Nora had a very beautiful and charming face.
When Caesar and Sibyl were separated, he didn’t know that she was already three months pregnant. That woman was also stubborn. She resolutely broke up and did not want any help from him, just raised the child by herself.
Caesar actually wanted to help Nora, but Nora was taught to be as stubborn as her mother and did not accept his kindness at all.
After a moment’s silence, Nora suddenly laughed, “Are you embarrassed to say these things to me? At the beginning, you abandoned my mother for money and chose to join the richer Franklin family. Because you have a bit of status now, you just think no one remembered the past, right? Think about yourself before you teach me.”
After saying this, her mood fluctuated violently and tears flashed in her eyes. For so many years, he had never raised her. At this time, how could he teach her the principle, just for his daughter Rosaline?
Well, this was really ironic.
Caesar couldn’t refute what she said, and finally became furious, “You will regret it.”
Nora picked up her bag, sneered and said coldly, “You will regret it too.”
In the street not far away, Louis watched Nora waiting for a while in the car after coming out of the cafe. Then he saw a tall middle-aged man coming out. Louis could perceive the man’s wealth by looking at his back, he pursed his lips and took a blurry photo with phone.
The weather was getting colder these days. After being disgusted by her own father, Nora was not in the mood to go shopping. She took the bus and went home.
At this moment, the city lights were all on. Nora was sitting in the last row of the bus, watching the flashing street lights and silently weeping. She suddenly missed her mother very much!
Even if she had been poor in the previous days, at least someone cared about and loved her, and could listen to her thoughts.
Sibyl hardly said anything about Nora’s father in front of Nora, nor did she say anything bad about Caesar. If Caesar hadn’t come to Nora, she would never know who her father was.
But what could she do even if she knew the truth? Caesar was already someone else’s father.
Nora covered her face with hands, feeling that life was getting worse and worse. She sometimes wondered, if she hadn’t married Kingsley, a mythical man of high status, would her situation be better?
Maybe she would still run around for the surgery fee, but at least she wouldn’t be humiliated every day like this. The story of Cinderella only existed in the novel. The reality was often cruel. If you got something, you will lose something. No one will tolerate everything about you unconditionally and treat you like a princess.
Nora sighed. She still had to work hard so that she could rely on it after divorce in the future. In addition, she thought she should be divorced with Kingsley. After all, Rosaline Woods was back.
The phone in her pocket rang. Nora glanced at it and noted it was Anna. She quickly wiped away her tears and answered the phone, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
