In Love, Never Say Never

I pursed my lips and let out a giggle out of nervousness, much to his confusion.

“What are you laughing about?” he asked.

“Oh, it’s nothing! Why are you suddenly okay with me helping Marcus out?” I said, trying my best to appear calm.

Ashton took a deep breath. “You’re willing to trust me even after all that has happened, so what right do I have to complain? Besides, you chose to be with me, didn’t you?”

“Yes, I did.” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry in response to that. Had Ashton not been forced to tell the truth, we might never truly be able to trust each other our entire lives…

“How are the babies? Have they been behaving? Did they give you a hard time?” Ashton lowered his gaze as if he wanted to rest his head on my tummy through the screen.

I tilted my phone slightly downwards so he could see it and gave it a little rub as I said, “They’ve been really good. I haven’t felt them kicking at all.”

When I didn’t get a response from Ashton for quite a while, I tilted my phone back towards my face and saw his camera pointing at the ceiling.

He was probably too tired and fell asleep while looking at my tummy.

“Good night,” I whispered softly into my phone so as to not wake him up before putting it on silent next to my pillow. I then lay down on the bed and imagined him being next to me as I drifted off to sleep.

My babies didn’t move much that night, so I was able to sleep very soundly.

By the time I woke up, my phone had switched itself off automatically when its battery died. Looks like Ashton got a good night’s sleep too, or he would’ve hung up by the time he woke up.

Tossing the covers aside, I made my way into the living room to charge my phone before taking a shower.

Emma came running over excitedly with a stack of documents the moment I stepped out of the bathroom. “You passed, Letty! You passed!”

“Calm down, Emma. What are you talking about?” I asked in confusion.

“The bar exam! Here, see? Your admission to the bar came in the mail this morning, and along with it an internship invitation from a law firm!” Emma said while handing me the files.

“Seriously?” I exclaimed, feeling overjoyed as I read through the documents.

It’s been so long that I had almost forgotten about the bar exam! This is a really pleasant surprise! Looks like my hard work throughout the past two years paid off after all!

After taking a moment to calm down, I began reading through the internship invitation. “Tinsel Group Law Firm…”

Wait… Why does this sound so familiar? I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before…

“Oh? Tinsel Group?” Emma snatched the invitation letter over and skimmed through it. “This law firm is situated in K City’s most bustling street ever! It’s a huge company, Letty! You’ve got a bright future ahead of you!”

I took the letter back from her and took another look at it.

Hmm, she’s right… But why would a law firm of this caliber take interest in an absolute newbie who has just passed her bar exam?

Upon closer inspection, I saw that the invitation was only valid for a month. However, my babies weren’t due until two months later, and postpartum confinement would take another month. As such, I decided to ignore the invitation.

Three weeks soon passed, and I had almost forgotten about it completely until I got a call from someone claiming to be the secretary of Tinsel Group Law Firm.

“Hello, is this Ms. Stovall? I’m calling to check if you’ve received our invitation for an internship here,” the woman said politely in a soft voice.

“Yes, I did,” I replied with a nod while sipping on some warm milk.

“I see… Did you choose to go for a different company instead? Or is there something about Tinsel Group that concerns you?”

“No, it’s a personal reason. I’m currently pregnant, and the baby is due pretty soon, so I’m unable to take up your offer at the moment. Thank you for the opportunity, though!”

I had conducted my own research on Tinsel Group, and it was said to be the best law firm in the city. Practically everyone who has passed the bar exam dreamed of doing their internship there as it would look great on their resume.

In love, never say never chapter 1217

It’s a bit of a shame giving up on such a great opportunity, but nothing matters more than giving birth to my babies safely!

“Oh, about that… The company has decided that you are an incredibly talented individual and would be happy to arrange for an online interview instead. What do you think?”

Hmm? That’s very tempting and all, but… Why is a company like Tinsel Group going so far for a nobody like me?

Although I found it a little odd, I figured it should be safe and agreed to their suggestion.

The interview was scheduled to take place at nine in the morning tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but I woke up really early anyway thanks to the kicking from my babies and was readily waiting in front of my computer thirty minutes prior to the interview.

The secretary started the video call right on time, and I answered it after giving my appearance a quick fix. However, my jaw dropped in shock when I saw the face of my interviewer.

Zander? Oh, my god… I didn’t think I’d see him again, so I didn’t even keep his business card! I can’t believe he ended up becoming my superior…
