"Honey, finally I got accepted for a job interview!" cried Henry happily.
He just got a call for a job interview at Bizzare Group. Henry was of course very happy, after sending out dozens of job applications, only this time a company called him for a job interview.
"Look, they even mentioned in the email that I've been hired and just need to come for an interview as a formality!"
Lily rushed to hug her husband, it was the first good news she heard even after two years of her marriage with Henry James. "We should celebrate your acceptance into the company, Honey! Congratulations, I know you can do it!”
Henry James and Lily Wilson have been married for two years. Henry was actually an adopted son in the Wilson family. He is hated by the entire Wilson family except for Lily. Lily and Henry fell in love each other and they decided to get married, even though the marriage did not actually have the blessing from Lily's family.
"Yeah, you can talk to your mom. Tell him that his son-in-law is no longer unemployed.” Henry returned Lily's hug, happiness welling up in his heart. Finally, he will be a useful husband. “Pray for me that everything will go smoothly and I can improve our lives.”
Lily smiled sweetly and winked. "Of course, honey. I will always pray for you. Okay, what should I prepare for your interview this afternoon? Wait… I’m almost forget something!"
Henry furrowed his brows in response to his wife's sentence. "What?"
Lily took a deep breath and said, "Isn't today is Judith's wedding, should I come alone? The timing coincides with your job interview.”
Henry patted his forehead, he forgot that today he was supposed to accompany his wife to his cousin's wedding. "How about if you come there first, I'll catch up with you after the interview is over," Henry suggested.
“Ah, well. That's okay." The beautiful woman then stepped out and opened the wardrobe. She chose the best clothes for Henry.
Thirty minutes later, Henry and Lily were standing on the sidewalk waiting for the taxi they ordered. In the same taxi they headed to the Bizzare Group office first, then the taxi would take Lily to Judith's wedding venue.
When the Taxi arrived in front of the Bizzare Group building, Henry kissed his wife's forehead. "Be careful, darling. I go first."
"Good luck!"
Henry nodded his head then stepped steadily into the Bizzare Group building. There, he immediately approached the Front Desk to show the email he received to the Front Desk clerk.
"Good afternoon, I'm Henry James. I received a phone call and also an email message. I was asked to face the HRD." said Henry while showing the email message he got.
The receptionist smiled, "Okay, Mr. Daniel is waiting for you, let me take you to his room."
Henry walked following the receptionist's steps into a room.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Come in!"
The receptionist opened the door for Henry and when it opened a man appeared to be standing as if waiting for him. “Well, how much money have you prepared?" asked the man called Mr. Daniel immediately after Henry entered his room.
Henry frowned in confusion. "Excuse me, what money do you mean, Sir?"
Daniel stepped and sat in his chair without inviting Henry to sit. “Isn't it obvious you don't have any work experience anywhere! The only thing that will get you accepted here is pay for $10,000!”
$10,000?!!!
“But… I'm looking for a job because I want to earn money, Sir. I mean, I don't even have that much money."
Daniel frowned and looked contemptuously at Henry. “Tch! I'm sure you'll never find a job for the rest of your life! No wonder the Wilsons made you a slave. See, you are much better suited to be a working slave!”
Henry was surprised. How could Daniel know that he was an adopted child who was treated as a slave in the Wilson family. However, before Henry could ask, Daniel was already preparing to kick Henry out.
"Come on, get out of here! You are completely wasting my precious time!”
Henry took a deep breath. "Then, if indeed I am not accepted to this company, why am I summoned for an interview and you say that I will definitely be accepted?" asked Henry expressing his confusion.
Daniel sneered, “You know, sometimes I also need entertainment like this. Playing a pauper like you won't hurt my position, ha ha ha! One more thing, I'm calling you for an interview to make sure if you're not fit to work anywhere!”
Henry James swallowed the bitter taste in his throat. His ears felt irritated as he listened to Daniel's rant. Because Daniel was insulting him quite intensely, Henry didn't realize that his phone had vibrated several times.
Henry was unaware that an important figure was trying to contact him, and yet, that call was actually a call that would change Henry James' life!
Meanwhile at Judith's wedding, Lily Wilson walked slowly into the party room. The luxurious building that Judith's family had rented looked so elegant and beautiful. Lily took a deep breath as if gathering strength and courage to face the people there. "Hi Lily, how are you? I thought you wouldn't dare come to this party!” Lily took a deep breath then exhaled slowly and put a sweet smile on her lips before she turned her body. “Hi, Jasmine. I am doing fine. You seem quite healthy and look fresh.” Jasmine smiled sweetly, she was her sister-in-law. “Of course I'm healthy and fresh. All of that is because I do routine body care,” Jasmine replied in a tone scoffed a little. Lily could only hold tightness in her chest. She had suspected this before. Since she married Henry, she always became the butt when she met her extended family. “Ah, yes. lately I rarely get treatment because I'm busy," Lily said while sitting on a chair. Jasmine who took the seat beside Lily squeaked. "Busy or yo
In a hurry, Henry rushed to Judith's party. Henry was worried about his wife who might be being bullied by many people. However, when he had just arrived at Judith's wedding hall, Henry was met with scorn and contempt from his parents-in-law. “Wow ... well, it turns out that you brave to come here! Where's your shame?" asked Catherine while sneered at Henry. “I'm sorry, Mom. I think, I have a right to come here.” Henry answered trying behave friendly up front of the public. "What exactly does Lily expect from you? You are poor and have no job. You see this man beside me? He is Albert Brown, he has always liked Lily!" said Jacob, Catherine's husband. Henry looked at Albert, he knew Albert Brown. The man who is almost the same age as Jacob is indeed very rich. However, he already had two wives. "Would you like to make Lily your third wife?" Henry asked. “Hey, nothing wrong if he makes Lily become his third wife! The most important thing is that Lily can live properly. Look at you…
Henry frowned for a moment. Young master? Henry heard someone calling him had called him Young Master. "Sorry, did you get the wrong number?" asked Henry felt a bit confused. "No sir, I'm Oliver Wood. I am the butler in the James family. And I have been looking for Young Master. You are the sole heir of the Great James!" replied Oliver Wood on the phone. Oliver Wood then spoke at length, saying that Henry's family was destroyed one night and caused the death of both his parents. Oliver Wood and some other servants of the James family experienced slander from the people who were jealous and wanted the destruction of the James family. But now that Oliver is free, the first task he does is to find Henry James, who is the sole heir of the James family. Henry, who still felt confused, could only remain silent. Even so, Henry's hunch felt that what Oliver Wood had told him was true. There were several points that can convince Henry's mind. But, still the news was too shocking for him. "
When Henry arrived at the cashier, he excitedly said to the cashier. "Excuse me Miss, I want to pay my wife's medical bills," said Henry. The cashier looked up to see who was talking to her. After knowing that the man who came over was Henry, the cashier only looked at Henry with an unfriendly face. She even deliberately called out to the man standing behind Henry. Henry furrowed his brows when he realized his presence was not being considered. "Hey, Miss... I was the one here first, how come it is this man that you serve first?" The cashier looked at Henry in disdain. “Of course I put him first because that customer definitely has the money to pay. You are just a poor person who wants to ask for a fee waiver. You should be self-aware and willing if I put other customers first!” "How could that be? I have money and I will pay for it,” said Henry. The female cashier scowled. “Sir, don't waste my time! Get out of the way quickly because I don't believe a word you say one bit! Even i
At that time, Henry followed the hospital staff who escorted him to the VIP room where Lily was. Henry requested the most classy room in the hospital, with the best facilities of course. After two years of taking Lily to live in trouble, this time Henry wanted to give the best for his wife. “Sir, this is your wife’s new room. We have also prepared the best facilities and the best medicines for your wife. Every morning the doctor will visit to check your wife's condition. If you need anything, please ring the bell here, then the nurse will come to help you soon," said the man. Henry nodded his head. "Thank you so much for your help." "We felt grateful because you would forgive our cashier's mistake earlier. If there's nothing else I can help with, then I'll say goodbye," said the man while bowing respectfully. For the first time in his life Henry felt respected and being treated well by someone else. He remembered, a moment earlier the nurses and hospital staff bowed to him to pay r
"Your mother," Henry answered curtly. Then, he sat down on a chair, right beside Lily's bed. "I'll turn on the loudspeaker," Lily said. Henry nodded his head. “Lily, where are you now? How is your condition? You must be pretending to be sick, right? Are you currently in that slum flat?” asked Catherine when Lily picked up the phone. “Mom, I'm in the hospital now. What makes you call me?” she asked. "Shouldn't I be calling you? I am your mother! Is it not permissible for a mother to call her own biological daughter?” said Catherine with annoyance. Lily took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Always like this. Every time she talked to Catherine, they would fight. “Well, okay. Mommy can call me. So, what's wrong?" said Lily lowering her voice. "What hospital are you at? Surely your husband chose the cheapest room right?” asked Catherine contemptuously. “Mommy is wrong, I am currently in the VIP room. Please just check here if you don't believe it!” Catherine groaned, “Bullshit
Henry saw his wife's face started to stiffen. He reached out his hand to ask for Lily's cell phone. Lily, who understood her husband's intention, immediately gave her cell phone to Henry.“Sorry, Mom if I interrupted. I know if mom and dad don't agreed our wedding. But, I promised I will making Lily happy,” said Henry.Catherine pouted his lips. "You don't deserve to be Lily's husband at all. Albert, who has not yet become a husband, has given many luxurious gifts. When he becomes Lily's husband, I'm sure Albert will give other, more luxurious gifts. Compared to yourself, you as her husband have never given anything to Lily!” said Catherine curtly."I’ll prove that I can make Lily happy with me, Mom," said Henry."Nope! I just want Albert Brown to be my son-in-law!" cried Catherine then with emotion she also hung up the phone."Mommy is too much," said Lily, sobbing sadly.Henry hugged Lily and tried to calm his wife. “Don't worry, I won't let your family separate us,” said Henry."Ho
Catherine and Jacob gape at Henry's boastful promise. “Are you sure about what you said? You're going to divorce Lily?" asked Catherine to make sure. "Of course, I'm sure of what I'm saying. If I can't get Lily to get a project from the Emerald group, then I will divorce Lily myself," said Henry confidently. Catherine and Jacob looked at each other with smirks plastered on their faces. They were quite happy because in the end Henry himself was willing to divorce Lily. They were sure that Henry would not be able to help Lily win the project. Let alone helping Lily to win a project, he couldn't even get a job, isn't it pretty clear that Henry couldn't possibly have the ability to help Lily? "Fine, then we agree. If you manage to get the project together with Lily then we won't try to separate you two again. However, if you can't get the project... then you should divorce Lily as soon as possible. I no longer want to have a poor useless son-in-law like you,” said Catherine. Henry ju
