Chapter 74 Chapter 74: Getting A Job
Biting her lip, Estelle shook her head and said, “We... It has long been meaningless for us to be entangled emotionally. I was too stubborn in the past and didn’t want to admit it. I’m over him just because I think it’s time to let go of the past. It’s good for both of us.”
“Will you remarry in the future?” Mr. Mysterious asked.
“I don’t know,” Estelle said and shook her head. “I’ve had two children. So for me, there’s no need to get married for the rest of my life.”
After she said this, Mr. Mysterious suddenly bent over and kissed her on the back of her hand.
“Estelle, if one day you want to start a new relationship, I hope I can be your first choice.”
Tonight, Mr. Mysterious didn’t sleep well. He seemed to dream of something very sad and kept sobbing in his sleep.
Estelle didn’t dare to wake him up. Nor did she dare to turn over to look at his face because she had to abide by the rule set by Mr. Mysterious.
It was late at night when she finally fell asleep.
At seven o’clock the next morning, she was woken up by the alarm. And as usual, she was the only one left in the room, and Mr. Mysterious had gone.
She felt amazing that she could sleep soundly every night she stayed in the hotel. And she never knew when Mr. Mysterious would leave every day.
After getting up, Estelle quickly washed up and put on light makeup in front of the mirror. Then she went out to take a taxi.
When she was in the taxi, Rebecca called her.
“Estelle, are you on the way to the interview?”
Estelle looked out of the car window at a landmark building and said, “I’m on my way. I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes.”
“That’s good. My friend is easygoing, but sometimes he’s a little odd. He hates it when people are late for work.”
Estelle showed understanding and said, “Your friend must be very meticulous about his work.”
“Maybe. Your words make sense. But he also hates beautiful women,” Rebecca informed her.
“Why?” Estelle was confused.
Rebecca said, “I heard that he seemed to be cheated on by a beautiful woman before. That woman was his first love, and she fooled him. Since then, when he meets a beautiful woman, he thinks that she is a fake. A capable and creative female designer applied for the job before but didn’t pass the interview because she dressed up for the interview and looked too beautiful.”
Estelle was speechless.
“By the way, Estelle, don’t put on makeup when you go for the interview. Instead, try to make yourself look as plain-looking as possible,” Rebecca reminded her.
Estelle nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll remove my makeup later before appearing in the interview.”
“But even if you’re without makeup, you still look gorgeous. So your pretty face actually becomes a disadvantage for your interview. It’s so ridiculous. Other people have to dress up before the interview to make themselves more good-looking to leave a good impression on the interviewer, but you must be worried about being too beautiful!” Rebecca let out a heavy sigh helplessly.
Hearing this, Estelle chuckled. “It’s not a bad thing. At least according to your description, I’m sure your friend is righteous and won’t harass his female subordinates. In this case, everyone can focus on their work with no worries. That’s quite good.”
“You can rest assured. He will never do such an immoral thing,” Rebecca sounded assured at the other end.
“Okay,” A pleasant smile appeared on Estelle’s face.
“By the way, Estelle, what are you wearing?”
“Just the ordinary clothes that I usually wear. Is that okay?”
“Are the clothes beautiful?” Rebecca asked.
“Well, I bought them about six years ago. They are old and out of fashion.”
“That’s good,” Rebecca was relieved. “If there is an optical clinic on your way, you can go there and buy a pair of black-framed glasses. The glasses will make you look older, and you will be more likely to pass the interview. I believe in your ability and professionalism, but your appearance can’t be neglected.”
Estelle shook her head helplessly and said, “I see. Thank you, Rebecca.”
“Not at all. If you pass the interview, you will be well-paid. Don’t forget to treat me to a good meal!” Rebecca joked at her.
Estelle happily replied, “No problem.”
Then she looked out the window and saw an optical clinic. She hurriedly said, “Sir, please stop the car here.”
The taxi driver did as she said, stopping the car at the roadside.
After paying the fare, Estelle got out of the car and walked into the clinic.
“Miss, how can I help you?” the sales clerk asked when seeing Estelle.
Estelle hastily responded, “Yes, I need to get glasses. But I’m in a hurry. Any recommendations?”
“What kind of frame do you prefer, Miss?”
Estelle hesitated for a while, answering, “I want black-framed glasses. The uglier, the better.”
The sales clerk was speechless at her choice.
Five minutes later, Estelle put on a pair of black-framed glasses with thick lenses and an ugly design that made her look rustic and plain.
Seeing herself in the mirror, she nodded and thought that she was “ugly” enough for the interview.
It only took Estelle a few minutes to walk from the optical clinic to Only Love Jewelry. And she recalled the information that she had known about the company yesterday and prepared for the interview on the way.
Estelle had only studied jewellery design abroad for two years. Back then she had shown great talent in jewellery designing since she went to the university, and many professors wanted to be her instructor.
Later, she chose a native professor as her instructor and learned jewellery design from him. And among all kinds of jewellery, she designed rings the most.
At that time, she dreamed that she could wear the ring she designed by herself when she married Cristofer because such a ring was more meaningful to her.
She had drawn up many designs but was not satisfied with them. A few days before her engagement, she was inspired and designed a unique ring.
The ring had a sapphire set in it, and the sapphire was inlaid with several small diamonds, making people think of stars in the night sky. It was small and exquisite. As soon as the design was released, it caused a sensation in the university.
Estelle shook her head and wrenched her mind back to the present.
‘It was all in the past. Don’t think about it.’ She whispered to herself in silence.
