Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 550

"What a coincidence." I lowered my eyes and smiled." I'm going back to Salt City for New Year’s too."

Most people would find fellow townsfolk easy to get along with. Sera looked at me with glowing eyes. "I haven't met anyone from my hometown since I came t o study in Whaldorf City."

I frowned. "You're still studying?"

The glow in Sera's eyes disappeared. "My family isn’t very rich and it’s been very difficult for them to pay for my college fees, that's why I’m working and studying at the same time."

After a pause, she continued, "A senior from the same department introduced me to a job in The Imperial and I agreed to just sell wine. But after going, I realized that the job isn't just purely about selling wine. I'm really grateful for your help, Miss Lane. If you hadn’t helped me that night, I would've...”

Although she did not finish the rest of her sentence, anyone knew what could have happened to her.

I pursed my lips. "It’s no big deal. You don’t have to take it to heart."

I was not a very sociable person, actually. I really had n o idea what to say to a lady with whom I had not

many interactions with.

After a long silence, Sera found a topic to talk about.

"My initial plan was to do a few more days of part-time work before going back because the pay is higher than usual before New Year's. However, Mr. Schuman arranged a part-time job for me in Salt City, and since it's closer to home, I decided to go home earlier."

There was a coy look on her face at the mention of Tyler's name. I understood what was going on.

"What job did he get you in Salt City?" I asked.

"It's in a microfinance company. It gets busy at the end of the year, so they're recruiting people. The salary given is really high too.”

I nodded and did not ask anything more.

"By the way." Sera suddenly thought of something. "If you're going back to Salt City for New Year's, Miss Lane, is Mr. Schuman coming along too?"

I smiled helplessly. "I'm not sure about that. He didn't tell me anything."

Sera looked a little disappointed. "Alright then."

It was time to check the boarding tickets. Together, w e pushed our luggage and walked toward the boarding gate.
