Chapter 428 To Barnes
J woke up the next day with a sharp throbbing in her eyes.
She padded into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a mess, and her
eyes were all bloodshot and puffy. She looked terrible.
"Just skin and bones," she muttered, pinching her arm and forcing a smile.
Realization suddenly struck her. She had nothing to worry about at all.
She was only in her twenties; she still had much of her youth to squander, not to mention a whole
life waiting ahead of her.
J delved into her thoughts. She had never had much ever since she was a little girl. When she
was in primary school, she had a favorite pencil box with a pretty Barbie pattern. Jocelyn ended up
throwing it away out of spite. And while J was torn over the loss, she eventually forgot about the
knickknack altogether.
Perhaps Ethan would be just like that pencil box.
Besides, he had made a point of keeping his true identity from the start.
J didn''t want to think that it was due to some misgivings on his part, but she couldn''t really
me him if that was the case.
With renewed resolve, she opened herputer and proceeded to send out her resumes to design
companies all over the country.
Shortly after, she received a notice for interview from Flying Kite, a famous establishment in Barnes.
The thing, however, was that she hadn''t sent them her resume.
Curious, J opened the e-mail to confirm its contents. Sure enough, the HR Manager of Flying
Kite expressed their appreciation for her designs, and even mentioned that they were aware that
her former superior at the Larson Group had nothing but praise for her.

It urred to her then that she had previously spoken to Tiffany about changing jobs.
Was it Tiffany who had rmended her to Flying Kite?
Gratitude bloomed in J''s heart. She hadn''t expected that someone else in Larson Group
genuinely cared about her besides Gerda.
Flying Kite Design Company came second to the Larson Group. Because it engaged mainly in the
overseas market, and it wasn''t particrly known in the localndscape. But J had seen their
designs, and they were quite on par with those of the Larson Group.
And here she was now, staring at their invitation and the impressive pay they stipted.
J pondered it for a second before deciding to ept their invite.
She had been nning to leave, anyway, and they did offer a very attractive sry. Given her skills
and experience, she was almost certain that she was going to get this job.
More importantly, Barnes was located farther up in the North, while Seacisco was in the South.
She could finally escape Ethan, and stay away from him for good.
After she settled down in Barnes, Hannah could alsoe over and stay with her.
J didn''t pack much. She only brought some necessities, which didn''t even require a suitcase.
Ethan had already gone to thepany early that morning. Without telling anyone, she booked a
ne ticket online and took a taxi to the airport.
On her way, she called Tiffany. "Thank you, Miss Fisher. I received an offer from Flying Kite, and I''m
on my way to the airport as we speak. Can you send me the forms needed to file for resignation?
I''m afraid I don''t have time to drop by thepany."
"I see, of course. Well, I wish you a smooth journey and a bright future ahead." Their conversation
was brief. After hanging up, Tiffany paused and wondered.
She wasn''t sure why J thanked her in the first ce. Was it for formality''s sake? She was
actually neutral on whether J should leave or stay, and she was just surprised to learn that
J had already made such a bold decision so soon.
Laney hid behind arge pir as she watched J walk through the airport entrance. She
immediately sent Ethan a message, and then followed J inside.
Ethan had instructed her to keep an eye on J and report her every move. Laney had initially
thought that J was merely going out for a walk, since thetter didn''t bring any luggage with her.
But Laney''s cool soon crumbled when she realized that they were heading to the airport.
