Chapter 168

I made a Uturn at an intersection, trying to catch up with Kate for a clearer look, but she was nowhere to be found.

I felt a tinge of disappointment, but quickly shrugged it offafter all, I had no intention to get tangled up with them again, so there was no reason to be disappointed.

I composed myself and drove off.

Life after returning home was pretty chill. I either visited Oscar in the hospital or hung out with Leila and Quincy at Stella Wallace’s place.

Oscar was recovering well and was discharged about a week later.

On the day he was discharged, I went to pick him up, planning to introduce him to someone over a meal.

Trene, where are you taking me?Oscar asked curiously from the passenger seat.

Have you heard of Raymon Homes?I asked.

1 know it. That’s a good real estate company. I applied there once but didn’t get the job,Oscar said, looking slightly surprised. You’re taking me there?

I chuckled, Not to the company, but to meet the boss. Show him what you’ve got and if you get a chance to get in, start as a technician, Someone will guide you, and you can work your way up to be an engineer or a project manager.”

Oscar was clearly delighted and said excitedly. Really? If I can get in, the opportunities there would definitely be better than my current company!

Definitely.I had this plan all along. If I treat Oscar as my brother, I should take care of him like a brother.

Raymon Homes CEO was named Raymon. We agreed to meet at Blissful Brews.

Upon reaching the cafe, I made a call first.
