Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 212

‘So, she’s the assistant job candidate that Felicity recommends,’ Stella thought. She then greeted Shea

with a handshake. “Nice to meet you,” she said.

Shea, who was calm, responded with a handshake. “Nice to meet you too, Ms. Jewell. Felicity told you

about my situation, right?”

Stella nodded. “You have a son, and you need to take care of him on weekends.”

Shea nodded as well. She was a little nervous when she said, “If it’s not convenient for you, I can

arrange full daycare services for my son on weekends since it’s close to where I live. I really need this

job.”

Stella took her time to make a decision and asked Shea a few simple questions.

Shea answered them fluently, showcasing her experience in the assistant role. She had previously

worked with A-list and B-list artists for eight years at the age of nineteen, and she resigned at twenty-

seven. With her extensive experience, Shea could be considered a veteran in show business.

Shea had left show business for the sake of her marriage and family. Her job as an assistant often

required her to be away from home. Plus, both she and her husband, now ex-husband, were not local.

Neither of them was available to take care of their child, and they were unwilling to hire a nanny. The

constant arguments took a toll on their relationship. After much contemplation regarding the child’s

growth and education, Shea ultimately decided to resign from her job.

She then found a clerical job near her home. It was less demanding, and she had a more flexible

schedule, allowing her more free time. She could even bring her child with her to work. Although the

salary was not high, the convenience made up for it.

However, despite her seemingly improving circumstances after a few years, she soon discovered that

her ex-husband was having an affair. This came after he experienced success in his career and received

a substantial pay raise from his promotion.

Shea swiftly filed for divorce. She had chosen a swift resolution instead of facing the lengthy court

process. Due to her financial limitations, the custody of her child was granted to her ex- husband,

allowing her to only visit the child on Sundays and bring him home.

Her family was unsupportive of her decision to divorce, so they cut off all forms of communication with

her.

Feeling undeterred, Shea was determined to restart her career to regain custody of her child. So, she

was desperate to find a job.

Stella had encountered numerous divorce cases that escalated into unpleasant disputes. She did not

understand Shea’s decision to opt for a speedy resolution instead of taking legal action against her ex-

husband for infidelity.

“He cheated on you, but you didn’t even try to use that in court? If you did that, even if he was using your

financial situation against you, he could lose the custody of your child.”

Shea shook her head and said, “Before I got married, I had the same thought. But, now that I have a

child, there are so many things holding me back. He’s the father of the child, and the

child has a good impression of him. I can’t bear to tarnish the image of a loving father in the child’s eyes.

Even though he has wronged me, he has always been genuine and caring toward our child. It’s just that

the relationship between the two adults didn’t work out. There’s no need to drag the child into our

disputes. He has good living conditions, and the child will have a more comfortable life with him. When I

have the means in the future, I’ll file for custody.

It was probably due to empathy that Stella suddenly felt upset, and she thought, “When become a

parent, there’s so much to worry about. And sometimes, you just have to keep all the you

pain to yourself.”

She suddenly remembered what Keegan had said. “If we can’t even be sure that our marriage will last,

don’t you think that having a child will just be a burden?”

Having children would change everything. They were their own unique individuals and should never be

seen as a tool to hold onto a relationship. If the marriage was devoid of love, it was only a matter of time

before it crumbled, regardless of the presence of children. Once children had entered the picture, the

lives of the parents would become bounded in new ways.

“Ms. Jewell, what do you think of me?” Shea asked softly, and it could be seen that she was worried.

Stella said, “You’re aware that I’m new in showbiz, right?”

Shea nodded. “Felicity told me.”

“I can offer fifteen grand a month as your salary. I know it’s not as high as what you were making before,

but all your food and lodging expenses on the film set will be taken care of. And, I’ll try my best to give

you weekends off. If that sounds good to you, let’s get an employment contract signed. But, if it’s not

what you’re looking for, I can have Felicity find you another job.”

Shea was taken aback for a moment, as she was expecting that Stella would offer her no more than ten

grand. Shea had worked with A-list celebrities in the past and received a high salary, but it had been a

few years since she had been in the industry. And, Stella was a newcomer in show business.
