Chapter 5
Samuel dragged on patiently, but Meghan couldn't just let him continue to consume her like this. She already started thinking about making future plans after the divorce procedures were completed.
But she still has to live her life, and she didn't want to sit idly by like this anymore.
When Sara heard that she was looking for a job, she suddenly stopped eating the potato chips in her hand, and immediately became enthusiastic. "You should come to our magazine. Our magazine is planning to sign a contract with a designer and build its own brand."
Meghan frowned upon hearing this. "I... Okay, but I haven't produced a work for three years."
"Baby, you can do it. Anyway, just try it. You've got nothing to lose."
Meghan gave it a thought, and nodded. "Okay."
The next day, Sara brought Meghan's work three years ago to the editor-in-chief's office.
After looking at the portfolio, Luke Lin saw the signature under the work, and after a long time, he asked, "Ms. Ruan is your friend?"
"Yes, she is really talented and her works are amazing! We will not suffer a loss if we sign her."
Of course, Luke knew how good she was. Ms. Ruan was like an epiphany that suddenly appeared in the jewelry design business, but disappeared instantly without a trace after she had just bloomed.
Some people said that after she won the prize, her inspiration dried up and she could no longer create any work.
It was also said that she was favored by the rich, married into a rich family and gave birth to a child.
But in the end, these were all just rumors.
It's just that, no one thought that after three years, when everyone had forgotten about her, she would come back.
Luke said, "Does she have some time tonight? Let's have a meal together."
Sara knew that as soon as he set this meal, then Meghan's employment was already set in stone.
"Yes, I will tell her now," she said as she nodded.
...
During the meal, Meghan and Sara's editor-in-chief also had a very good chat. Although she repeatedly stated that she hadn't picked up a paintbrush in the past three years, Luke assured her that it was okay. He just asked her to make a sketch of the work according to the specified style this week.
If the boss feels that there was no problem, she could directly sign the contract.
Dinner finished a little late, and Luke said, "It's not easy to take a taxi around here, and it's not safe for you two girls. I'll send you back."
"Okay, okay, but I need to go to the toilet first," as she said this, she looked at Meghan again. "How about you?"
"Sure, let's go together," Meghan answered.
"Editor Lin, wait for us, we will be back soon," Sara said.
Luke smiled. "It's all right, don't worry."
Coming out of the bathroom, Sara said while washing her hands, "This is a done deal!"
Meghan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and she was still a little worried. "I'm afraid that your boss is not satisfied with the work I will design. I am so sorry to you and Editor Lin."
"Baby, you think too much. Our boss is a cheerful old man who is also very nice. Editor Lin basically has the final say on all matters of the magazine. Just do your best. Editor Lin thinks highly of you, so I'm sure you'll be okay."
As soon as Sara's voice fell, the sound of high heels stepping on the floor came from the bathroom door.
In the next second, Maggie appeared in front of them.
It seemed that they didn't expect to meet here. After both sides froze for a while, Maggie snorted disdainfully. "Oh, would you look at that? Seems like mangy dogs like you two will really follow me wherever I go."
Meghan pulled a piece of tissue and wiped the water off her hand, and said casually, "If you want to be beaten, just say it, you don't need to beat around the bush."
"You..."
Maggie knew that she lost to Meghan last time, and this time there were two of them here. No matter what, she had no chance of winning.
Sara said, "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to tell everyone to come and see what a mistress looks like?"
Maggie sneered slightly, and said, "Meghan, how could you still be shameless when you used such a dirty method to marry into the Zhou family? Now, I may be a mistress, but that doesn't make you any better than me. What, did you really think that you've successfully become a bitch who was better than everyone else for easily climbing that social ladder?"
Just as Sara wanted to fight back, Meghan grabbed her wrist.
Meghan looked at her calmly. "Did Samuel tell you?"
Maggie was a woman with big breasts and no brains. She hadn't mentioned this before, but seeing the expression on Meghan's face now showed that only she knew about it.
"Yeah, he said he was disgusted with a woman like you, and he said that the last thing he regretted in his life was meeting you at the Twilight Club. You are like a piece of sticky and smelly adhesive bandage that has been torn off, leaving his body with stink and wanting to scratch the skin you had touched."
After Maggie finished speaking, looking at Meghan's expressionless face, she suddenly felt scared that she reflexively took a step back to prevent her from doing anything to her like last time.
But Meghan didn't say anything and didn't hit her either. She just threw the used tissue in the trash can, turned and left.
Seeing this, Sara quickly followed.
"Meghan, don't worry about that woman's words. Those cheating bastards are evil. She's all talk, so don't be angry..."
