A few minutes later…

Lucy brought Connor to an office and knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” A woman’s voice came from the office.

“Ms. Hunt, the boy that Rachel introduced to work part-time is already in the shop.” Lucy replied softly.

“Let him in!”

“Alright!” Lucy answered, then turned to Connor and said, “Go on in. Ms. Hunt is waiting for you!”

“Thank you, Lucy!” Connor quickly said.

“What a gentleman you are…” Lucy gave Connor a flirtatious smile, then left with her hips swaying.

After Connor saw Lucy leave, he pushed open the door and walked straight into the office.

When he walked into the office, he was stunned.

The beautiful woman sitting in the office was none other than the woman Connor met in the taxi just now.

When the woman saw Connor enter, she was momentarily surprised as well. Then, her eyes widened, and she asked, “Are you the student that Rachel introduced?”

“Yes!” Connor hurriedly nodded.

“What’s your name?” The woman asked coldly.

“My name is Connor…” Connor replied.

“Connor?”

The beauty squinted and sized up Connor, then said softly, “Since Rachel introduced you, Rachel should have told you about my situation and your salary, right?”

“Rachel told me everything!” Connor nodded.

“Great. Find Lucy later and ask her to get you a work uniform. Then you can get to work. My bar just opened not long ago and is currently lacking manpower. You can work for some time. When I have recruited enough people, you no longer have to come!”

The woman looked at Connor expressionlessly. Her voice was emotionless as she spoke to Connor coldly.

“Alright, I got it!” Connor nodded helplessly.

“Since you already know, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get to work!”

The woman didn’t seem to have a good impression of Connor and ordered him to leave.

“Ms. Hunt, I still don’t know your name!” Connor asked the woman with a smile.

“Xena Hunt!” the woman replied coldly, then continued, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave!”

“Yes!” Connor agreed, then turned around and walked out of the office.

***

After seeing Connor leave, Xena sighed.

Her attitude toward Connor was so bad, but not because Connor took advantage of her in the taxi.

It was because she had been troubled by something for the past few days.

“Ring ring ring…”

At this moment, Xena’s phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Xena looked at her phone. When she saw the caller ID, her expression darkened.

After hesitating for a while, she picked up her phone and answered the call.

“Xena, are you busy now?” A woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Mom, if you have something to say, just say it! You don’t have to call me every two or three days!” Xena said helplessly.

“Xena, the day after tomorrow is your engagement party with Uncle Shenaur’s youngest son. You mustn’t miss it, okay?” her mom said slowly.

“Mom, how many times have I told you? I won’t marry that bastard. Can you stop forcing me?” Xena shouted angrily.

Connor, who had just walked out of the office, happened to hear that. He couldn’t help but sigh. ‘No wonder Xena has such a bad temper. Her parents are urging her to get married!’

Meanwhile, in the office.

Xena held her phone and listened to her mother. Her face was filled with despair.

Xena was born into a merchant family. Her parents were very famous businessmen in Porthampton. Her family background was very good. In addition, Xena was also very beautiful. She could be considered a standard white, rich, and beautiful woman.

However, Xena had had a strange habit since she was young. She was a very serious germaphobe. She could not accept living with a man.

Therefore, even though she was already twenty-eight, she had never been in a relationship, nor did she have any thoughts of falling in love.

Not long ago, Xena’s parents found a blind date for her. The blind date was good-looking and had a good family background. However, Xena was not interested in this man. On the contrary, she felt that this man was a little dirty.

However, her parents liked this man very much. Without Xena’s consent, they had arranged a marriage with him.

Xena was worried sick about this. She had never lived with a man since she was young, and she didn’t know how to get along with a man she didn’t like. Moreover, she had to marry this man and have children with him. It was scary just thinking about it.

“Xena, Uncle Shenaur’s son is handsome and has a good job. Why don’t you like him? Moreover, you’re not young anymore. If you continue wasting time like this, how long more will you wait? Just listen to Mom’s advice and quickly get engaged to him. I can save a lot of trouble!” Xena’s mother said gently.

“Mom, just give up. I will never marry someone 1 don’t want to marry!” Xena gritted her teeth and growled.

“Tell me then, who do you want to marry?” her mother asked angrily.

“I… I don’t know yet!”

“Xena, can you stop arguing with me? I’ve already discussed it with your father. If you don’t get engaged to Uncle Shenaur’s son, we’ll take back your bar. I’ll see how you can still mess around outside then!”

After saying that, her mother hung up the phone.

Xena listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, and her face was full of despair. Owning a bar had always been her dream, but she could not run this bar with her funds. Most of the funds for her bar were given by her parents.

But now, her parents were threatening her with taking away the bar, she felt like she was about to break down.

If she agreed to marry that man, it would be completely forced. However, if she didn’t agree, her parents would confiscate Dusk.

Xena sat in her office chair, deeply troubled. She didn’t know what to do now.

“Ring ring ring…”

At this moment, Xena’s phone rang again..
