Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Diane Taylor realized that Yvette Larson’s mood had improved after returning and that naturally pleased the former. She ran up to the latter and asked, “Ms. Larson, did Mr. Taylor call?”
Yvette Larson shook her head. “No, but I’ve thought it through. He got a divorce for my sake.”
The young girl could only smile helplessly. ‘How is it possible that a divorce would be good for you?’
…
In the evening, Finn Taylor was making himself dinner when he heard a knock on his door. ‘It’s probably Michelle. Nobody knows about this place other than Hunter Sullivan and those two ladies next door.’
As expected, it was Michelle Yeller standing outside the door. “Oh, you’ve made dinner?”
“Yes.”
“I was thinking of treating you to a meal.”
“Treating me to a meal?”
“Josie and I found a job. We’re heading out to celebrate our new jobs, and I wanted to invite you along so that we can clear any misunderstandings you two may have.”
The man chuckled. “If I go, she would probably say that I have something up my sleeves again.”
“Come on. I’ve already made a reservation.”
Finn Taylor glanced back at the kitchen before eventually nodding. “Alright.”
When the trio headed out, Josie Meyer was still haughty as usual. However, Finn Taylor suddenly asked, “Michelle, congratulations on your new job. Oh right, how much are you getting paid?”
The talk of salaries angered her best friend. ‘What’s with David Sullivan? Why is Michelle getting paid 1,200 dollars while I’m only getting 700 dollars? When I questioned him about it, he even said that they only wanted to hire one person. If not for me, Michelle could’ve gotten a salary of 1,500 dollars. What does he even mean? He’s making it sound like I put Michelle at a disadvantage.’
“Just over a thousand. It’s alright; I’ll take it slow.” Michelle Yeller smiled, not going into detail for fear that she’d put her friend in an awkward position.
But Finn Taylor didn’t let the matter go. “Over a thousand? How much exactly? If you don’t earn much, I’ll pay for today’s meal. I don’t want to burden you.”
Finn Taylor’s words sounded caring, but it annoyed Josie Meyer even more.
“She’s getting 1,200 dollars, and I’m getting 700 dollars. Will that do?” Josie Meyer turned around without sparing the man a glance after saying so.
The elevator doors opened right at that moment, and the other two walked out of the elevator.
“Come on. Let’s go.”
Because Josie Meyer had turned around, she hadn’t seen the doors open and was still standing foolishly in the elevator. Thankfully, her friend dragged her out.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Michelle Yeller asked Finn Taylor to order a few dishes, and he didn’t stand on ceremony. He then passed the menu over to the two girls.
After Josie Meyer added on a few more dishes, she asked the man if he wanted any alcohol.
Finn Taylor shook his head.
She then asked if he abstained from alcohol, but he merely waved her off. “I’m done ordering. You can order whatever you want. You don’t have to bother about me.”
Michelle Yeller then added a couple more dishes.
Not long later, their food was served.
Perhaps it was because of what Finn Taylor had said in the elevator, but Josie Meyer was feeling annoyed and wanted to find her place again. As such, she started asking Finn Taylor about his job. “Timothy, what do you work as?”
“Oh, I don’t have a job.”
“You don’t have a job?” Hearing that, Josie Meyer felt as though she had won. “Do you have a wife or children then?”
“Nope.”
The young lady grew even more gleeful.
“Are you serious, Mr. Taylor?” Michelle Yeller was taken aback.
The man didn’t hide anything and merely nodded.
This answer stunned the young girl. ‘He carries himself so differently, but he doesn’t have a job, a wife, or any children!’
“Oh, you don’t look young anymore. Why don’t you have anything?” Josie Meyer was over the moon and tried to grill Finn Taylor to satisfy herself.
“That’s right, Mr. Taylor. We’re here to look for jobs, so why are you here then?”
Finn Taylor sighed. “I just got a divorce from my wife and left with nothing. I didn’t have anywhere to go, so I moved here.”
This excited Josie Meyer even more. ‘He’s a divorcee who has nothing! Hahaha, that’s the lowest rank in society!’
“Divorced? Mr. Taylor, you’re such a good man. Why would you get divorced?” Michelle Yeller couldn’t understand it. ‘Through my interactions with him over the past few days, he feels like a good man. Why would someone like this get divorced?’
“What else? All men who get divorced and leave with nothing must’ve done something. I already told you that he isn’t any good. I even told you to keep your distance from him, but you refused to believe me.” Josie Meyer took the chance to insult Finn Taylor.
“Nonsense. Mr. Taylor isn’t someone like that; I trust him.”
“Trust him? What’s the use of that? Come on, Timothy Taylor. Why don’t you tell us why you got divorced?”
The man smiled bitterly. “I ran into some trouble, and they want to break my family apart. I was afraid of dragging my wife down, so I put on an act with her best friend to let my wife catch us together. I then proposed divorce and chose to leave everything to her.”
The way Finn Taylor said it was as though it was nothing but a trivial matter. However, Michelle Yeller was scared stiff. ‘What kind of trouble could he have gotten into that he’d choose to end their marriage like that?’
“Mr. Taylor, was there really no way of solving that trouble? I’m sure your wife would be sad to get divorced.”
Finn Taylor smiled blandly. “Well, the likelihood of succeeding is no different from seeing snow in June.”
Michelle Yeller was moved by Finn Taylor’s love for his wife, but her friend was clearly not. “Did you hear that? I think he really was in a relationship with his wife’s best friend and got caught red-handed, so he had no choice but to get divorced.”
‘There’s nothing I can do if the other person doesn’t want to believe me.’ The man shook his head helplessly. “Oh right, I haven’t congratulated you guys on getting jobs at the Larson Corporation. I’ll drink this and treat it as wine.”
“Haha, they’re all the same.”
“Oh right, how is the company doing now? I’ve heard a lot of rumors about it. What are you guys working as?”
Michelle Yeller didn’t hide anything. “I’m the secretary to the previous chairman—Ms. Yvette Larson—and Josie is working in the public relations department as a secretary.”
“Oh, you work in the chairman’s office. That’s not bad. Is the chairman nice?”
The young girl shook her head. “I didn’t see her, but I heard them say that we have three chairmen now. Two are the current chairmen—Francis Larson and Linda James—but the one managing everything is their daughter, Yvette Larson. However, I didn’t see any of them today.”
Finn Taylor felt his heart twist up into knots.. ‘Yvette didn’t go to work today. Where did she go?’
