The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 7

"I'll be there." Thalassa hurriedly promised.

After a few more words with the head of HR, she hung up the phone. Her annoyance seemed to have eased a bit. After all, there was no such thing as a dead end. When one door closed, another door would open for you.

She just casually sent her resume to the Sinclair group on the train yesterday, just giving it a shot. She didn't expect to actually get an interview invitation.

The Sinclair group was the biggest and richest corporation in Starhaven. If she could work there, the salary and benefits would definitely be good.

After dinner, she said to Evelyn, "Mom, I'm going for an interview. You stay home and take care of the kids. Don't go gambling again. We need to be realistic. We earn what we earn, no need to be greedy. Being greedy will only lead to bad outcomes."

"Oh come on, I got it. Do you think it's okay to talk to your mom like this? I just want to help you ease off some pressure. How did that become greed?" Evelyn refused to admit she was wrong, responding firmly.

"Thank you for thinking about me, but we need to do the right thing. Gambling is wrong. If you get addicted, what will happen to me and the kids?" Thalassa knew Evelyn meant well, but her approach could lead to big trouble. She had a responsibility to steer Evelyn in the right direction, to keep her from going astray.

"Alright, I got it. Just go," Evelyn urged impatiently.

Thalassa hugged each of her kids and then left.

A while after Thalassa left, Atticus and Dorian exchanged glances, and a silent agreement was reached.

Atticus said to Evelyn, "Grandma, I want some milk."

Dorian chimed in, "Me too."

"You little stinkers. Wasn’t the pasta enough?" Evelyn was hoping to save some baby formula.

Tears immediately filled Dorian's pretty eyes, and he said in a pitiful voice, "I'm not full. I want milk, I'm so hungry."

Seeing Dorian like that, so pitiful and innocently crying, was heartbreaking. Evelyn couldn't bear it. "Alright, don't cry, I'll go make you some formula."

Atticus whispered to his sisters, "Stay here. Drink the two bottles of milk grandma made. We're going out. Don't tell grandma where we went."

Elowen and Sophia obediently nodded. Atticus put on his backpack, which he had prepared earlier, and snuck out with Dorian.

……

The Sinclair group, HR on the 28th floor.

Thalassa finished her interview, and it went very well. She got hired as a cleaner for the Sinclair group and was responsible for cleaning the top floor of the Sinclair building.

The HR manager asked her to familiarize herself with the structure and environment of the top floor after the interview, so she could start working the next day.

She took the elevator to the top floor. A little to the left of the elevator was the CEO's office, a little further in was the conference room, and then the lounge.

A little to the right was a storeroom. Even the storeroom was luxuriously decorated. This storeroom would probably be where she'd store her brooms, mops, carts, and other frequently used items while cleaning.

She planned to go in and familiarize herself with the layout, to determine where to place things, so she could get to work straight away the next day.
