Chapter 160 – His Second Chance Love: The Freezing Silence

I nodded. My heart felt warm from his words. With the tears brimming in my eyes, I forced a smile, “Yeah, okay!”

After a pause, I continued, “I’m planning to go back during the upcoming public holiday!”

He furrowed his brows, “You haven’t fully recovered yet!”

“I’m all better now!” I always felt that he was treating me like a porcelain doll. I said helplessly, “I 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.”

He gave some thought and nodded, “Fine. But you don’t have to rush for the job. I will settle it for you. I have houses in the city too. I’ll find a nearby house after knowing your workplace’s location.”

I wanted to reject him, but he interrupted, “Just nice there are vacancies in my company. Since you think you owe me a favor, you can come and help out. Also, I’m going to collect rent from you too. I’ll deduct ten percent of your salary for the rent.”

I was speechless and said helplessly, “I still have some savings. You don’t have to do this for me. Anyways, I was planning to find something else to do.”

“Yes, I know!” He seemed a little angry knowing that I was rejecting him.

I did not say much after looking at him.

Whatever. The White family’s 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, “Grab a quick bite. We will set off after you’re done eating!”

I nodded in response and nibbled on some bread. He knew that I didn’t usually eat much, so he furrowed his brows as he looked at me dine, but he didn’t say much.

After bringing me to the car, he started the engine and passed me a notebook, “I 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!”

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, “Can I do projects? Or you can put me under the project management department. I’m fine with starting from the bottom!”

He nodded, “Alright. The project director just went home after an accident. You can replace him.”

I was stunned for a moment. I never thought he would agree so quickly and asked, “You are going to decide just like that? Won’t you worry that my ability is not of standard and ruin your company?”

He took a side glance at me and smiled, “Will you?”

I pursed my lips, “That’s hard to say!” 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, “If you could handle a huge project like Featherstone Corporation, White Corporation would just be a piece of cake!”

I didn’t know how to react to him. He was humble with his words. White Corporation was huge, and they worked towards internationalization. Featherstone 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 wasn’t 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, “Let me bring you in first. We can buy whatever that’s lacking afterward!”

I looked at the time and said, “You’re not going to the office today?”

He smiled faintly, “I’m having a week-long holiday!”

Alright then!

We entered the residence, and he spoke when the elevator door opened, “This area is nearby the office. We’ll see what’s 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 what’s lacking, then buy them later.”

I nodded in response and thought, I’m 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, “The rental should be a few hundred thousand, right? Especially since it’s located in an expensive land like the K City.”

He raised his brows, “Are you worried about the rental?”

I shook my head and smiled, “I 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. It’s such a waste to just leave it like this!”

Anthony tends to do things this way too. I hung my head low at the sudden, intrusive thought about him while my nose wrinkled in discomfort.

Marcus did not notice my minute reaction. He merely grinned. “It’s not a waste. See, we’re using it now, aren’t we?”

We took a spin around the house. It didn’t look like we need to buy or replace anything, but the kitchen looked quite empty. Perhaps Marcus, assuming that I was not much of a cook, did not bother too much with the layout.

“Is there anything missing?” He said, changing the house key and fingerprint code to mine.

I nodded in response. “Since you’re free tonight, why don’t we cook at home? I can give Macy and Jackson a call later, invite them to join in. I should let them know I’m safe anyway. Ever since I left, it’s like I’ve been cut off from the outside world.”

Marcus nodded. He did not look too good, but I paid little mind to that.
