Chapter 12 The Other Woman Named Adams

After exiting the Graham Group office, Arissa turned around to look at the sky-high building. It was undeniable that she felt a little disappointed with the interview outcome.

At first, she thought the interview would proceed smoothly and that she would soon begin working here. But who knew a turn of events would change this trajectory.

Since fate had other plans, she could only search for other opportunities.

I mean, there are plenty of other companies besides Graham Group anyway.

Arissa hailed a taxi to go home. On the way back, she suddenly received a phone call. Seeing that it was Ethen, Arissa felt odd that he could still call her after her earlier encounter.

Arissa furrowed unconsciously. Nonetheless, she answered the phone call with a courteous tone. “Hi there, Mr. Frank!”

“Hello, Ms. York!” Ethen replied, secretly trying to test the waters. “Ms. York, is there something that you’re unsatisfied with Graham Group? If the concern relates to your remuneration, please know that we’re open to discussion. Our CEO, Mr. Graham, really values your talent. We sincerely hope that you’ll consider working with us.”

Arissa was stunned by Ethen’s words. What is Mr. Frank up to now?

Arissa tried to make sense of the situation before concluding that Ethen and the rest of them probably didn’t know that she was chased away by Danna.

Thus, she replied, “There’s nothing that I’m unsatisfied with the Graham Group. I came to today’s interview with sincerity to join the company too. However, since Mr. Graham’s fiancée did not like me and chose to shoo me away with a mouthful of nasty and impolite words, I figured that there is no longer a reason for me to join your company. I will take my shot with other companies instead.”

Upon listening to this, Ethen was shocked. “You mean Ms. Adams?”

Ms. Adams!

Arissa’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of that name. The name instantly brought out a deep-seated hatred that she had buried deep in her heart for many years.

Ms. Adams, forcefully took her children away from her. Furthermore, she instructed cruel treatments upon Arissa and her children.
