Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 45

Josephine let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she remembered she was still on a video call with the vice president of Nexus Semiconductor Group.

She cried out, “Oh no!” and dashed toward the study.

Zachery followed her a couple of steps inside.

He heard Josephine apologizing repeatedly, and saying she could start the job at any time, and so on.

Josephine came out of the study looking a bit dejected.

Zachery stepped forward, his heart tight with concern. “Are you going abroad?”

“Yeah, that was the plan, but now it’s not possible anymore. Wilfred, that jinx…”

Josephine no longer felt like talking.

Seeing her exhaustion, Zachery comforted her:

“Don’t overthink it. Just get some rest, okay? Do you know the saying, ‘When things reach their worst, they can only get better!“”

Lying in bed, shaking her lucky persimmon bell, Josephine thought that Zachery was truly a remarkable person.

With just a few simple words, he could lift her spirits from the depths of despair.

When things reach their worst, they can only get better!

With hope in her heart, Josephine drifted off to sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, her phone reminded her that there were still 21 days left in the cooling–off period.

Josephine put her phone on the nightstand, got ready for the day, and came out to find her phone vibrating nonstop.

It was Anna Gibson from the headhunting company.

Twenty–three years old, optimistic, playful, and full of the fearless energy of youth.

Last year, she had pretended to be a journalist to sneak into Novo Tech’s cocktail party.

Not knowing Josephine was the owner of Novo Tech, she had tried to poach her with a high salary.

Josephine found Anna interesting and exchanged contact information, but they hadn’t been in touch since.

Now in urgent need of a job, Josephine quickly answered the call.

Anna’s sweet voice came through: “Josephine, it’s Anna Gibson. Do you remember me?”

Josephine replied, “You left quite an impression.”

“Josephine, your memory is unbeatable, the pinnacle of human intelligence. Could you spare ten minutes to meet with me? I have a position I’d like to discuss with you.”

Josephine arranged to meet at a cafe near Opal Heights.

Anna wore her hair in a high ponytail, dressed in a tight black camisole dress and Martin boots–sweet and cool, like a college student.

She greeted Josephine warmly, calling her by name with every sentence, and even brought a handmade gift.

Only after winning Josephine’s full favor did she get down to business.

“Thalassa Group has acquired LuminousCore Tech. All other business units can operate as usual, but for the chip production line, they need someone with highly specialized knowledge and skills, someone with the presence of a major corporation. No one but you will do.”

Josephine’s expression remained perfectly calm.

“Doesn’t Thalassa Group mind my history of infringing on trade secrets?”

She liked to lay everything out clearly.

She didn’t want them to bring up her past after she had already started working–how unfair would that be?

Anna held up three fingers in assurance: “If it weren’t for the client’s direct request, I wouldn’t have dared to approach you. It’s incredibly hard to find top talent like you who can start immediately.”

After a brief pause, Josephine agreed to visit the LuminousCore Tech production line and meet the new manager.

At noon, Helena came to deliver a pot of chicken soup to Wilfred.

Everyone in the CEO’s office knew she was Mr. Hayden’s beloved ‘little sister,‘ so she was allowed through without question.

Helena noticed the office door was slightly ajar.

She clearly heard Shane’s voice.

“That neighbor of Josephine’s–the house is rented.”

“Rented?” Wilfred was surprised.

A house worth thirty million–who would rent instead of buy?

So the seemingly distinguished Dr. Maynard was nothing special after all.
