"Mom, I know what I am doing. It is getting late now, g o take a rest, so I can coax Charlotte to sleep, too." She shifted the topic while pushing Daisy out of the room door.
As frustrated as she was, Daisy could do nothing about it. She let out a sigh and left.
The air conditioner was on, but Charlotte was still sweating on her forehead. Summer washed Charlotte's face and feet, and then coaxed her to sleep. After that, she sat in front of the window, staring into the dark night in a daze.
The next morning
After breakfast, Forrest went for the interview, while Solomon, Daisy, Summer, and Amara took the two children to the park.
The company was in the most prosperous commercial street in Santabaca. It was a sixty-story tall building, with huge panes of glass reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
Stepping into the company lobby, Forrest was intimidated when he saw the number of people
coming for the interview. He had expected a long queue, but never of this magnitude.
The lobby was crowded. Everywhere he looked, he saw peoples’ heads.
'I heard that the company only has five positions open. ' Forrest was suddenly disheartened; he saw no hope o f landing a job.
Just then, a group of security guards walked in and asked everyone to make way.
Immediately afterwards, a man who looked like he might be a senior executive came in, and whispered something to the leading man with respect. That showed just how high the position of that leading man was.
The man was tall, wearing an iron-pressed suit, looking proud like someone of distinguished figure. H e was good-looking, his charming eyes slightly raised at the corners with an air of wickedness, looking frivolous and erotic. He was fiddling with a phone in his hand while listening to the report from the executive.
