Chapter 7
Vada was fuming with anger. She rolled up her sleeves and was ready to fight, “I told you to leave
him alone. You’re no longer his secretary. It’s none of your business if the company wants to have a meeting with him!”
Megan had fallen out with Leo, but the people in the company still didn’t know.
She had just received a call from the company that there was something wrong with the project. The shareholders were so
anxious that they couldn’t find Leo, and his phone was turned off. They couldn’t get in touch with him, so they called her.
After all, it was a project that she had worked for before. She thought that it was reasonable for her to come back and inform him,
but she didn’t expect to hear him say that.
It was as if a thorn had pierced into her heart.
“Megan, are you all right?”
“Vada, did you buy the pill?”
“Yes, yes. Here you are. Wait for me to buy you a bottle of water.”
“No need.” Megan tore open the package, raised her head, and threw the pill into her mouth.
The bitter taste in her throat instantly filled her mouth. The pill was too big and stuck in her throat. She coughed a few times and
forced herself to swallow it, choking so hard that she burst into tears.
“Are you all right? Slow down.”
The corners of Megan’s eyes were still sparkling, but she smiled slightly, “Let’s go home.”
“Why don’t I take you to other places?”
Megan smiled and said, “Life has to go on. I have to find a new job as soon as possible. I don’t want to go back and ask for help
yet.”
Hearing this, Vada breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “That’s right! Life still goes on. You’re so capable that it’s easy
for you to change jobs, and your salary will be doubled!”
When Megan got home, she spent the whole afternoon preparing a perfect resume.
Her resume was actually very good. She had a high degree, a good school, and outstanding working ability. She had participated
in many big projects with Leo before. More importantly, she was young. novelxo.com fast update
She thought it wouldn’t be difficult to find another job, but after two days, she didn’t even receive an Interview call.
Could it be that Leo was right? No one in Houston dared to accept her?
She was a little desperate.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Vada was even more excited than her, “Coming! Pick it up, pick it up!”
She picked it up in fear and trepidation, “Hello, this is Megan Reed.”
“Ms. Reed, this is the Central Hospital. Please pay for your mother’s treatment as soon as possible.”
Her smile froze on her face. “How much does it cost?”
“The total cost of the three surgeries, together with chemotherapy and medicine is 120000
dollars.”
“Okay, I’ll raise the money as soon as possible.”
“Please pay the fee before tomorrow, or we won’t be able to follow-up on your mother’s
treatment.”
“Why are you in such a hurry before tomorrow?”
“It’s the new policy of the hospital. I’m just responsible for informing you.”
She was a little suspicious. Her mother had been ill for two or three years. Although they had asked
for money in the past, it had never been as urgent as it was now, as if they were afraid that she could
not afford it.
She suddenly remembered what Leo had said that day; she would go back and beg him in less than three days.
It had been two days since she met Leo at the women’s clothing store. Tomorrow was the third day.
Her grip on the phone tightened, and her knuckles turned white.
Her voice trembled slightly, “Okay, I see.”
Hanging up the phone, Vada asked, “The hospital? How much does it need this time? I’ll transfer it to you now.”
She was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of her mother, she still said, “120000 dollars.”
Vada’s fingers, which were fiddling with her phone, also stopped. “Why so much this time? My dad took my card last time, and
now I can only take out 100000 dollars at most.”
100000 dollars. Even if she put down her dignity to cancel the dress, plus the money she had saved up during this period of time,
It was less than 105000 dollars in total.
There were still hundreds of thousands of dollars left. Where could she
Could it be that she really had to go back and beg Leo?
She bit her lip, and her face turned pale.

them?
Get Botus
Vada suggested, “How about I ask my dad for some?”
Megan shook her head, “You’ve already helped me a lot. I can’t trouble you anymore. I’ll think of another way.”
“What can you do? Unless we get rich now...”
Before she could finish her words, Megan’s phone rang again.
Her heart skipped a beat, Could it be him?
He wanted to hear her beg for mercy with his own ears?
Megan quickly composed herself, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone, “Hello?”
An unfamiliar male voice came from the other end of the line, “Hello, Ms. Reed. This is the Travis Group. We’ve already checked
your resume. The boss is very satisfied with your working ability. Your annual salary is 150000 dollars. If you’re not satisfied, we
can talk about it later.”
Megan was shocked. 150000 dollars?!
