Chapter 14 Coincidence

  • "She has the audacity to call Lucy brainless. Lucy is rumored to be Mr. Jacquin's girlfriend. That ugly woman is crazy. She's going to get herself into trouble."
  • "Lucy is a famous model and has Mr. Jacquin's support. Yet, that ugly woman dares to anger her. She is asking to die."
  • Lucy became even more arrogant upon hearing what the crowds were saying. "I don't get it. What makes you think you stand a chance to be an advertisement model? You look and sound terrible."
  • Roxana was stunned. "What do you mean by advertisement model?" I went for the business planning department interview.
  • "Stop feigning ignorance. That was the final round of interviews to select a model for the advertisement. What makes you think you can defeat me?" Lucy stood in a posture that accentuated her generous bosom and raised her hand in a modeling pose.
  • Roxana's expression changed. Did I go to the wrong place just now? Zoey must have mistaken the interview location!
  • Then, she glanced at Lucy posing before her and chuckled.
  • "You won't be selected as the model for Jacquin Group's new product."
  • Lucy's posture stiffened. "Nonsense. I'm the most suitable person for this position."
  • Then, her voice turned sharp as she scolded, "Who do you think you are? You have no right to criticize me."
  • Roxana's smile grew wider. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I am in charge of the new product's advertisement, including the selection of the advertisement model. If you have any questions, you look for Mr. Jacquin and ask him."
  • "You…" Lucy opened her mouth wide but could not find anything to say. She had no choice but to watch Roxana leave.
  • Later, Roxana arrived home. The front door suddenly opened before she had a chance to find her keys.
  • It was her daughter, Mia. Roxana relaxed as soon as she saw Mia's sunny grin.
  • "Mommy, I want a hug." Mia parted her arms and requested sweetly.
  • "Good girl. Where's Eidan?" Roxana carried her daughter and locked the door behind her.
  • "Eidan said you must be tired from work, so he is cooking something delicious for you."
  • Roxana became anxious upon hearing that. She immediately put Mia down and ran to the kitchen.
  • "Eidan."
  • "Mommy, don't worry. The food will be ready soon. Did you and Zoey come home together?" Eidan poured the mushroom soup into a large bowl as he was speaking.
  • Then, Roxana looked at the three dishes and the bowl of soup arranged neatly on the table. She could not help but feel impressed by her son.
  • "Mommy, how was the interview?" Eidan asked with an expression that made him seem like a miniature adult.
  • Roxana looked at her son and suddenly recalled Damien's face. If he finds out…
  • "Mommy, what's wrong?" Mia looked at Roxana worriedly and seemed on the verge of tears.
  • Roxana immediately opened her arms and hugged Mia and Eidan. "You are my lucky stars. The interview went well, and I got the job on the spot."
  • As they were having a warm moment, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang. Zoey dashed into the house.
  • "Roxana, you can punish me as you see fit. I have told you the wrong interview location." Zoey saw Eidan frowning and was stunned. Why does he look so much like Mr. Jacquin?
  • Zoey's expression blanched as she thought about this. She pulled Roxana to the side and whispered, "Roxana, have you noticed Eidan looks a lot like Mr. Jacquin?"
  • Roxana's heart thumped nervously. "It's only a coincidence. Just look at Mia. She and Eidan are fraternal twins, but one of them looks multiracial while the other doesn't."
  • "You're right. It's only a coincidence. But you must never let Mr. Jacquin see Eidan. Otherwise…"
