It’s a bit of a shame giving up on such a great opportunity, but nothing matters more than giving birth to
my babies safely!
“Oh, about that… The company has decided that you are an incredibly talented individual and would be
happy to arrange for an online interview instead. What do you think?”
Hmm? That’s very tempting and all, but… Why is a company like Tinsel Group going so far for a nobody
like me?
Although I found it a little odd, I figured it should be safe and agreed to their suggestion.
The interview was scheduled to take place at nine in the morning tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting much
from it, but I woke up really early anyway thanks to the kicking from my babies and was readily waiting in
front of my computer thirty minutes prior to the interview.
The secretary started the video call right on time, and I answered it after giving my appearance a quick
fix. However, my jaw dropped in shock when I saw the face of my interviewer.
Zander? Oh, my god… I didn’t think I’d see him again, so I didn’t even keep his business card! I can’t

“All right, let’s get this interview started.” Zander began the interview before I could even regain my
composure.
I calmed down a little when I saw how professional he was being, and we went through the interview
process smoothly.
I was able to answer all of his questions easily thanks to my two years of hard work, and the fact that he
ended the session without any difficult questions helped a ton as well. “Okay, we’ll end the interview
here. When will you be able to start work here, Ms. Stovall?”
“Wait… Does this mean I’m hired?” I asked in surprise and disbelief.
Zander leaned against his leather armchair and spread his arms as he said, “Your qualifications suit the
company’s needs perfectly, so it would only make sense to hire you. Is there a problem?”
“No, not at all!” I felt a little excited at having my abilities acknowledged, but I also made sure to explain
my situation to him, “Did your secretary tell you that I’m pregnant? I’ll only be able to start work about
three months later.”
Zander paused and frowned when he heard that.
Having prepared myself mentally for this outcome, I pursed my lips and said, “It’s okay, I understand that
three months is too long for…”
“All right.” Zander snapped his fingers at me all of a sudden. “I’ll just take it as a maternity leave taken in
advance, then. You will not be allowed to take another maternity leave within the next five years. Is that
okay with you?”
That condition of his makes no difference to me! Given my physical condition, I won’t be having any more
children after giving birth to this pair of twins anyway!
With that thought in mind, I put on my most solemn face possible and nodded at him. “I accept your
terms!”
Zander smiled and leaned back against his chair as he waved at me. “Congratulations, Scarlett! I look
forward to working with you!”
The weather got increasingly colder as winter came, and the temperature in K City often dropped below
thirty-two degrees. The sky was rather gloomy as it was both raining and snowing at the same time.

Thanks to my huge tummy and many layers of clothing, I looked like a polar bear as I sat by the window
with Emma.
The plants in the garden had all withered, and the whole place was covered with a thick layer of snow.
The tranquil moment was interrupted when Louis’ assistant came running into the room frantically. He
was dressed in a plain fleece jacket, his warm breath clearly visible as he asked, “Is Mr. Stovall in?”
He was looking for John.
“What happened, Mr. Cooper?” Emma asked.
The assistant was about to say something when John appeared at the stairs and stopped him. “Mr.
Cooper, let’s talk upstairs.”
Seeing as John called the shots in the house and was the person he came looking for, to begin with, the
assistant followed him upstairs without another word.
Emma thought John was trying to spite her and grumbled angrily, “Hmph! It’s not like I wanted to hear it
anyway!”
