Chapter 169


    The smile on Victoria’s lips vanished when she heard Summer’s words. Then, she


    turned off the water and wore the dishwashing gloves.


    “Just look at you. Whenever I mentioning back to Gandra, you would keep


    quiet.” Summer was upset by Victoria’s reaction. “I don’t get it, Victoria. It’s been a


    long time since that happened. Even if you had made a promise to udia, it should


    be over by now.”


    However, Victoria remained silent upon hearing that.


    Then, Summer continued, “The industry isn’t doing well in other countries. Yet, our


    country made it, and it is one of the toppanies that want to hire you. They


    wouldn’t have kept the position for you if you weren’t outstanding. Did you know


    they called me multiple times and told me to persuade you? They didn’t want to lose


    a talented person like you.”


    After hearing that, Victoria couldn’t help but chuckle. “So? What benefits did they


    offer you toe and persuade me?”


    “Hey! Don’t even think about using me of being a conspirator!” Summer huffed.


    “Do you think I’m that kind of a person? I just think the job suits you since it pays

    ept what they offered me. Though, they have indeed given me quite the treat.”


    “So… What did they offer you?”


    “Ermm… It’s just a small benefit. They told me they would give me a sum of money


    worth your sry point if you worked at theirpany for a whole year.”


    “The Floyd Corporation sure is generous.” Victoria smiled.


    “Yeah. They are quite remarkable. I’ve heard their CEO is young, handsome, and,


    most importantly, single. He is the one that wants to invite you to work in his

    care for my children when I get home.”


    “That’s true.” Summer’s heart softened when Victoria mentioned the children.


    “Where’s Nicole and Nathan?” she asked.


    “They are in the living room.”


    “Even if you choose to take care of them yourself, you do not have to do all the work.

    The least you can do is hire someone to do the cooking.”

    “I would prefer cooking by myself. Plus, I did hire a cleaner to clean my house.”

    “Nheless, cooking requires a substantial investment of your time and energy.”


    “Summer!” Victoria called out all of a sudden. Her voice was soft but firm. “The


    constant demands of motherhood will leave any woman exhausted. Nevertheless, I


    believe it’s worth it if I’m happy. Do you agree?”


    When Summer heard those words, she kept quiet. After some time, she said,


    “Technically speaking, yes. However, I can’t understand since I’m not a mother


    myself. I think it’s best to have a deep conversation with you about this topic after I


    have started a family.”


    In response, Victoria chuckled but said nothing.


    Yet, Summer wasn’t nning on letting it slide. “Enough of that. Are you sure


    nothing is stopping you from working at Floyd Corporation? It’s not because of the


    promise you made to udia, right? Truthfully, I can’t understand what you are


    afraid of. After all, thepany isn’t at Gandra.”


    At that moment, Victoria sighed under the weight of Summer’s annoyance. “It’s not


    Chapter 169 A Deep Discussion


    because of her,” she replied.

    “If it’s not because of her, what is it? I can’t think of any other reasons to exin your


    choice.”


    “It’s because I n on starting apany myself.”


    “What?” Summer wondered if she had heard it wrong and asked, “Are you saying you


    n to start apany?”


    “I was going to tell you after everything is settled. After all, I’m still going through the


    procedures, so I still can’t say for sure if I’ll be able to realize my goal.”


    In that instant, Summer’s shrill voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.


    “Ahhh!”


    At that moment, Victoria was relieved she had put the call on speaker before


    Summer’s loud voice echoed through the kitchen because otherwise, she might


    have lost her hearing.


    “Why didn’t you tell me you were going to start apany? If you had told me


    sooner, I wouldn’t have tried to persuade you to go to Floyd Corporation, saying that


    they had specifically left you a ce for a high–paying job. After all, nothing beats


    Chapter 169 A Deep Discussion


    the freedom of starting your ownpany.”


    “It isn’t done, though. Won’t you be disappointed if I fail in the end?”


    “Why would I be disappointed? I will never be disappointed in you because you can


    always aplish whatever you set your mind to. You can do it, Victoria!”


    When Victoria realized Summer was rooting for her, a smile spread across her face.


    “Thanks for yourpliment, but I have failed many times too. Anyway, all I have to


    do now is to try my best.”


    “Good luck then. I will undoubtedly apply for an executive position after you have


    established yourpany.”


    “Sure. I’ll leave a spot for you, alright?”


    “That’s more like it. Don’t even think about giving it to someone else.”


    After conversing for a little while, Victoria finished washing the dishes, and only


    then did Summer hang up the phone.


    After Victoria had cleaned the kitchen, she decided to take an afternoon nap. After


    giving the kids some reminders, she went back to her room. Before she fell asleep,

    she opened Tik Tok and saw that Silent Night had not yet replied to her message.


    However, she didn’t think much and put away her phone: Since she only had twenty


    minutes to rest, every minute was precious. When her head hit the pillow, she

    promptly fell asleep. She had trouble sleeping for the first two years but could now


    fall asleep instantly without medication.


    Meanwhile, a waitress delivered lunch to a customer in the presidential suite. She


    couldn’t help but sneak a few nces when she saw the man on the couch who


    exuded a sense of intimidation and elegance.


    At that moment, Terrance told the waitress to ce the food on the table before


    asking her to leave. Then, he said to ric, “Your lunch has arrived, Mr. Cadogan.”


    “Okay.” ric hummed but remained seated on the couch.


    However, Terrance held his tongue because he could tell ric was still upied


    with his work. After all, ric was a workaholic and didn’t like it when someone


    interrupted him while working. If ric hadn’t skipped lunch, Terrance wouldn’t have


    requested lunch delivery.


    A few minutester, Terrance couldn’t help but remind ric again. “The food will


    6/7


    Chapter 169 A Deep Discussion


    get cold if you don’t eat it sooner, Mr. Cadogan.”

    As soon as his words fell, ric gave him a cold re. Immediately, Terrance froze


    as he felt chills run down his spine. Then, without saying anything more, he turned


    around and left.


    On the other hand, ric pursed his lips and continued to work. After some time, he


    finally finished his work.


    When Terrance noticed it, he immediately ran over and put the things away. Seeing


    that ric had forgotten to take his phone, he gave it to ric and said, “You forgot


    your phone, Mr. Cadogan.”


    When ric took the phone, he suddenly remembered the message.


    Ever since Victoria had left him five years ago, his life had been upied with work.


    Other than working, he would spend the rest of his time looking at the live stream of


    two kids. He didn’t know why, but he felt it might be because they were cute and


    could soothe his loneliness.
