The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 588

Knowing his intentions, I didn't want to spend too much time talking to Mr. Webb.

I replied, "I'm doing okay."

When Steven and I divorced, I didn't take anything with me. All I did was request a month's salary in advance. Not only did he reject my request, but he also lectured me.

He told me that the economy was bad and claimed it was merciful of him to be willing to hire a housewife like me. He questioned how I dared to ask for a month's salary in advance. Mr. Webb also said that if he made an exception for me, it would complicate things if other people did the same next time.

Then, he accused me of being selfish and that I did not have the company's best interest. Because of that, I resigned.

When I resigned, Mr. Webb also said that employees like me were not beneficial to the company. If I left, it meant they would have extra capacity to hire even better employees. And yet, here he was now, trying to poach me again.

Mr. Webb asked in disbelief, "You're doing well? Are you sure you're not lying? I remember people said that your husband treated you poorly and that he doesn't give you any allowance…"

Mr. Webb was aware of my situation, but he was unwilling to help me. It was because he was certain that even if he rejected my request and refused to help, I would still not leave the company.

I chuckled and replied, "That was true in the past."

Mr. Webb asked, "Does he treat you better now?"

I replied honestly, "No, but I got a divorce."
