Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 108

I was silent for a bit. On that night, Neil came to find me at the apartment, only to leave after receiving a phone call, right?

Turns out Bonnie had a car accident. That was indeed an emergency. No wonder he left in such a hurry, and I hadn't seen him for the next few days.

But, didn't Russel know about this? Why didn't he tell me?

I guess I was being a bit overconfident of myself, assuming Russel would tell me all the news.

I typed on the screen: Now I know. Well, none of this has anything to do with me anymore.

Stella sent me a thumbs-up gif.

I put down my phone, closed my eyes and told myself that tomorrow morning I was going to report to the company and start working officially. I didn't need to waste any more time on other stuff.

Exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep. Not until the alarm rang did I wake up in a daze.

I couldn't be late on the first day of work, so I got up, washed up, and went to the company with Orlando.

I was assigned to the Development Department. Orlando told me that everything at the branch was still in its early stages, so the expanding department was a very important and training-intensive department. I would be responsible for developing new sales channels and promotions.

I had no objections. As a newcomer to the workplace, the most important thing was to be diligent and eager to learn. I decided to study hard.

Three days later, Orlando arranged a place for me to live close to the company. He busied himself finding a moving company. It was not until everything was arranged that he let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Finally got you settled. Your dad calls me eight times a day asking if I'm taking good care of you. I'm scared to death."

"Thank you! Once I get my salary, I'll treat you to a meal," I said with a smile, "Bring your wife and Barton Finch too."

Barton is Orlando's son and my nephew. He is only two years old and very cute.

Orlando nodded in satisfaction, "OK, I think that's a good idea. You've grown up and become more sensible."

"I'm only six months younger than you!" I rolled my eyes.

"Well, in my eyes, you're still a child!" Orlando suddenly sighed, "My son is already two years old, and you? You chased Neil for so long, finally married him, and now look at you. Was it worth it?"

My chest tightened, "Don't mention him. Are you trying to kill me?"

Orlando lightly tapped my shoulder, "I feel it's not worth it for you! You devoted your entire youth to a man who doesn't love you. Even if you divorce him in the future, you've already paid the price for your foolish actions!"

"I'm definitely going to marry a man who truly loves me in the future, to make up for the youth I missed!" I huffed.

"Don't worry. I know many excellent young men. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to a good man!" Orlando said with a fond smile.

Orlando and I chatted for a while. Seeing the sky dark, he hurried home for dinner. I didn't go with him, but cooked a pack of instant noodles in my new place, just to fill my stomach.

In this estrange country, estrange city, estrange environment, I began to miss home.

To stave off the loneliness, I initiated a video chat in the group chat.

I was relieved to see that all three girls accepted my video call.

Barbara was lounging on the couch gnawing on chicken wings. She asked me, "Have you adapted to your new life yet?"

Alicia had already started working overtime. Her head was buried in a pile of documents, her voice was a bit muffled, "Don't worry. There are many of our compatriots in Caladonia."

I said helplessly, "Even when compatriots meet, they have to speak a foreign language."
