Chapter 161
Bella’s POV:
The next morning, I made an appointment with Joey to find a job together.
At noon, Joey and I were too tired to walk, so we sat on a row chair beside the street and ordered two
cups of hot coffee.
Although it was winter now, the noon sun was still warm, and the warm coffee drove away the coldness
inside of me.
Joey held the hot drink in her hand and complained, “It’s said that it’s hard to find a job now. I didn’t
expect it to be this difficult. We‘ve been running around for a long time and only a few small companies
are recruiting people.”
I took a sip of hot drink and said, “It’s said that there is an economy downturn now. All the big companies
are retrenching talents. Only the small companies have high personnel flow rate, so they recruit a lot of
people.”
“What should we do? Are we going to a small company?” Joey asked anxiously.
| smirked and replied, “It’s only two months until the Spring Festival. We can find a temporary job to do
first.”
“It is said that the spring economy next year may be better, and the turnover at the end of the year is
relatively large. Next year, a big company may recruit according to the requirements, and there may be a
chance at that time.” “Of course, if we can pass the accounting test successfully and get the certificate, it

first, and then suddenly stared at me and asked, “Your analysis this time is very professional. Who did
you hear it from?” That familiar face immediately came to my mind.
What I said just now was what Herbert had told me.
I didn’t want to be nagged by Joey, so I quickly said, “These are the summary of my experience from
looking for a job.” Joey did not continue to ask, but nodded immediately and said, “I think what you said
is right, so we don’t need to find a company. Anyway, it’s only more than a month before the Spring
Festival. Why don’t we sell cosmetics and high-end clothes? After all, the mall is very busy during this
period of time, and we need a temporary job. I heard that if we don’t rest during the holiday, our salary
will be three times that of a company. Of course, we are young and beautiful, so we must get more
points!” Joey was very confident in her appearance.
At this time, the crowd in the commercial street suddenly made a noise.
Joey and I looked at the crowd in confusion and saw everyone looking up at the huge TV screen on the
outer wall of a grand building.
When I saw the picture on the screen, I was stunned.
At this moment, the huge screen showed a huge wedding photo. The man in the photo was wearing a
black suit. The woman was wearing a white shoulder-length wedding dress with a crown studded

very beautiful.
Joey couldn’t help standing up and said angrily, “What is this? Why does it have to be shown here like an
advertisement? I really don’t know if they are really married!” I stretched out my hand and pulled Joey to
sit down. Although I felt very uncomfortable at the moment, I still squeezed out a smile. “Whatever way
they want to get married in, it’s their business. All of this has nothing to do with us!” My tone was very
calm, but only I knew how much I cared about it at the moment.
Joey was still very angry. “Bella, they will definitely divorce!!” I reached out to pull Joey’s arm and
motioned for her to sit down. Joey looked around and saw that there were really many people looking at
her. Her face was a little red, so she quickly sat down. However, there was a never-ending discussion
among the crowd passing by.
“The wedding photos on the screen are so beautiful. Is it an advertisement?” A girl pointed at the huge
TV screen in front of her and praised.
Another girl said, “That’s a real wedding photo? It’s said that the president of the Wharton Group is
getting married.” When the girl heard this, she immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest and
said enviously, “Just because they want to get married, they rented such a big advertisement screen for
a wedding photo? That bride is so blissful!” “That man is a big boss. He won’t care about a little money!”
“That means he loves his fiancee very much and wants the whole world to know their happy marriage!”
“It has nothing to do with us. Let’s go!” Then, the girl behind dragged the girl in front away.
No matter how strong I was, no matter how I pretended to be indifferent, I couldn’t lie to myself. At this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmoment, there seemed to be a big stone pressing on my heart. It was difficult for me to breathe.
Joey held me by the shoulder. I looked at her and hugged her.
The girl’s words just now were still lingering in my ears. Herbert’s feeling for Caroline was true love!
These words were like a sharp knife that pierced into my heart. I touched my chest and felt extremely
uncomfortable. Joey didn’t say anything. She just hugged me tightly. I was glad that I had a close friend
to rely on. Otherwise, I would really break down. I thought I had recovered, but I didn’t expect…
Toverestimated my ability to heal my feelings. His name seemed to be deeply stuck in my heart and hard
to forget. A few minutes later, Joey released me and said with a smile, “Why don’t we go back? I’ll cook
delicious food for you. Let’s go back and make a strategy. Tomorrow, we’ll mainly focus on high-end
stores and shopping mall. Let’s work for more than a month to get some living expenses. How about
that?”
I nodded and said, “Why don’t you go back first? I want to stay alone for a while.” Joey frowned and held
my hand tightly. Knowing that she was worried about me, I tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said,
“Don’t worry, I won’t commit suicide. I am still young, and I still have a better life.” Joey nodded, gave
some instructions, and then turned to leave. After Joey left, I sat on the row chair for a long time. My
eyes always couldn’t help looking at the huge wedding photo.
A few minutes later, there were other advertisements on the screen, and the wedding photos of Herbert
and Caroline never appeared again. I slowly stood up and walked on the street in a daze. Ring, ring,
ring… At this time, my cell phone rang. Who would it be?
