"What do you have there?"
Rainie nudged her when she saw Mango staring at the computer, deep in thought.
Mango came back to her senses abruptly. When she saw that it was Rainie, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she gestured at Rainie and asked about how Wisdom was doing.
Rainie shrugged and said, "Nothing much. He still doesn't talk, and he just draws all day by himself in the room."
"It'll be fine. He'll definitely be okay!"
Mango tried to express herself with her hands.
"Yes, I know he will be. Here, you should eat something."
As she spoke, Rainie pushed the tray of fruits and food towards Mango.
"What were you looking at just now?"
Mango pulled up the recruitment post for Rainie.
Seeing it, Rainie frowned slightly.
"Jewelry design? Mango, although you majored in design, cars and jewelry aren't the same. I know that you are in a hurry to make money, but you can't do that with your current state. This post here says that it's personal recruitment, but I have asked my father. This is actually a big company that wants to find an outstanding designer, that's why they're posting it as personal recruitment. Besides, you're unfamiliar with this field. You can't accept this."
Hearing Rainie's words, Mango's gaze dimmed instantly.
However, seeing her like this, Rainie quickly added, "Aren't you a major in car design? You can see if there're any recruitments for car designing."
Mango shook her head and gestured, "There aren't any personal recruitments for car designing. Only big companies would recruit a car designer and there are many limitations. Besides, if I work in that field, Nathaniel is bound to find me."
Looking at Mango now, Rainie was miffed as she said, "How long are you going to hide from him? Look at what he's done to you. He should be hiding from you! Are you going to give up what you like most just because you don't want to see him?"
Mango touched the pen in her hand absently.
She still remembered that Nathaniel had said that he had designed a new car specially for the both of them, but she hadn't got the chance to see what it looked like.
If she wanted to cut Nathaniel and everything else in the past from her heart, she had to erase every single trace, including car design, which she had studied for five years.
Although her heart ached, Mango knew deep down that only by letting go would she be able to gain something in return.
She held the pen in her hand and wrote, "Car design and jewelry design are both similar. If I can design a car, I can do the same for jewelry. I know I can do it. I can go to classes or learn on my own."
"What's the point of doing this?"
Rainie's heart ached for Mango terribly, but she also knew that once Mango had made up her mind, she would never waver.
She never asked about what happened between Mango and Nathaniel, but she couldn't see any trace of hatred for Nathaniel in Mango's eyes. There were only frustration and heartache in them.
Rainie patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the expenses. You can leave everything to me. I could only finish my studies under your support. Now is my chance to repay
you, okay?"
Mango looked at Rainie with a smile and didn't object.
"It's settled, then! Well, hurry and eat. After eating, let's go see if there are any classes that are recruiting students."
After saying that, Rainie left the room.
Mango saw her leave and smiled. She pulled up a recruitment website and found a translation job. The other party only had to send the file that needed translation online, and she would send it back after she'd translated it. Then, her pay would be directly transferred to her account.
This was the best option. They wouldn't have to meet each other face to face, and she could still make some money for herself too. Although she had Rainie's help, she still wanted to rely on her own.
There was a company on the internet that was looking for a translator. Mango had changed some details of her resume and sent it to them, and she waited for their reply. However, there was one thing that bothered her.
If she couldn't use her personal bank account, what was she going to do?
If she used Rainie's, those clues would easily lead Thomas to her whereabouts.
Right at this moment, Denver knocked on the door and came in.
"Mango, my sister asked me to come in and get the plate. Have you finished eating?"
Denver was a bright and lively boy, and he really regarded Mango as his real sister. Due to the fact that she had once helped Rainie, he was very kind to her.
Mango smiled and handed the plate to Denver.
Then, Denver glanced over and saw that Mango was looking for a job, and it was a translating job. He paused briefly at that.
"Mango, are you looking for a job?"
Mango quickly covered Denver's mouth and looked outside nervously. When she saw that there was no sign of Rainie, she was relieved.
It was the first time that Denver had come into physical contact with a girl. He was stunned for a moment before he then blushed in embarrassment.
When Mango saw that Rainie wasn't around, she realized that she was covering Denver's mouth with her hand. Seeing Denver's flushed face, she quickly retracted her hand and apologized.
Denver shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's just that this is the first time I had my mouth covered by someone this pretty. I was a little flustered."
Because of his honesty, Mango felt as if the awkwardness in the air had evaporated.
"Your future girlfriend will be prettier."
Mango gestured with a smile.
Denver smiled at this and said, "Perhaps not as pretty as you. Mango, you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen."
Mango couldn't help but be delighted at his praise.
"Well, let's not talk about that anymore. Mango, you're looking for a job as a translator? Do you speak English?"
