A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire
Chapter 41 Someone She Couldn't Understand
A phone call woke Eliza.
Fogged, she answered the phone.
"Hello." She had a sense of laziness to her voice, half asleep.
Hearing the contents, she sprang straight up.
"I'm hired?" As she was surprised, she squealed unknowingly.
"That's right; you can start tomorrow. Work starts at eight, don't be late."
Eliza was thrilled, but she still pretended to be calm, so the person on the other end of the line couldn't tell.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Eliza didn't know what to do with her body, excited as a child.
This was probably the only good news that came out of these past few days.
As she calmed down a little, Nicholas came to her mind.
He couldn't have possibly opened a backdoor for her with how she passed the interview, could he…
If so, then she'd have to give him a proper thanks even more.
Eliza checked the time; it was four sharp in the afternoon.
It was still early, so she'd have enough time to invite him for a meal.
Fishing out the business card he gave her the other day, she called the number on it after some hesitation.
"Hello." A gentle voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hi, it's Eliza Stone. Do you remember me?"
He stopped spinning his pen momentarily. Eliza Stone, he remembered the name.
"What's up?"
Hearing his voice, Eliza thought it was better if she could talk to him about the matter in person.
"Well, I said I wanted to thank you for helping me out. I was wondering… if I can treat you to a meal? Will you be available this evening?"
He had a meeting in the evening, which he didn't have to attend, but his grandfather insisted that he join.
Compared to the meeting, he was more interested in the young lady on the phone.
It seemed that he had an excuse for missing the meeting now.
"I get off work at five."
"So… where should we meet?"
Eliza's life was monotonous. The only crazy thing she had ever done was when she went to the most popular bar in the city on a whim with Gracelynn, where they met Gracelynn's cheating husband.
With that bad experience, she was even more reluctant to leave the house.
