Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 294

Vera nodded quietly.

…

Charlotte handed Vera’s résumé to the department supervisor, briefly explaining the situation.

The supervisor flipped through the pages, then glanced at Charlotte with a smile. “Dr. Sterling, with your reputation, if you want to recommend a friend for a position, do you really need my approval?”

Charlotte replied evenly, “We still have to follow the process. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be proper.”

The supervisor looked at her with newfound respect. After a more careful review of the résumé, she said, “This Vera Lee has an impressive background. She’s even trained in computer programming—now that’s a real asset. It’s hard to find staff like that these days. A nurse who can handle IT? She’s worth her weight in gold. Next time our computers crash, we’ll have someone on the inside who can fix it.”

Charlotte just smiled, saying nothing.

The supervisor signed the paperwork. “Have her come in for the interview and assessment tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Director Sinclair.”

“Oh, don’t be so formal. I’m sure I’ll be relying on you for help myself one of these days, Dr. Sterling!”

As Charlotte stepped into the hallway, she replied over her shoulder, “Anytime.”

She headed back to her office, still a little surprised at how easily things had gone. As she passed Judd’s office, the door swung open and he stepped out.

Their eyes met. Charlotte simply nodded politely and started to walk past him.

“Wait a second,” Judd called after her.

She paused and turned, puzzled. “Is there something you need, Professor Carstairs?”

“About earlier today—I spoke out of line at lunch. I’m sorry.”

Charlotte was taken aback.

He’s apologizing for that?

“It’s fine. Honestly, I was the one making things difficult.”

“No, you weren’t. It was I who—”

“Professor Carstairs! Oh, Dr. Sterling, you’re here too?” Gentry appeared, balancing several cups of coffee. Interrupting at just the wrong moment, he handed one to Charlotte. “Good thing I bought an extra—this one’s for you.”

Charlotte hesitated, then took it. “Thank you.”
