My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 301

Irvin looked at me and nodded in encouragement, "Go ahead."

I had been living here for too long. If it weren't for those painful memories, I would think that I had been living so peacefully for my entire life.

I drew a deep breath and said, "I want to move downtown." Looking at his slightly darkened face, I continued, "Thank you for hosting me for so many days, but I can't bother you any longer. I can't hide here and let you take care of me forever."

"You're right. I have to walk out of the pain on my own. No one else can help me. Jarold City is a large city with many opportunities, so I think I can start my own life there."

Although the past hurt, I had to move forward.

Irvin forcefully put down the glass in his hand and replied in a low voice, "I can't help you with your grief, but I can care for you for as long as you're willing to stay here. You don't have to worry about a thing." I forced a smile, "But I don't want to." It was cruel to say this to him, but I had to.

His good-looking face froze. After a long silence, he finally agreed, "Okay then. I'll help you move back to Jarold City. But you have to promise me that you will call me whenever you need anything."

I nodded, feeling grateful for his consideration. Tears welled up in my eyes, I said with a smile, "Of course!"

After a pause, I continued, "I'm thinking of going back during the coming holiday. It'll be easier for me to settle down."

Irvin frowned at that and said, "You aren't fully recovered yet."

"I'm all good!" I insisted. He had always treated me like a porcelain doll, but I wasn't. I added, "I've done nothing for two months. Besides, I can still rest and nurse my health in Jarold City. I'll get an easier job." He contemplated my words for a moment, finally reluctantly nodded, and said, "If so, I'll arrange a job for you. You don't have to worry about it. As for accommodation, I also have a couple houses downtown. We'll see where you're going to work and replace you the nearest place to live."

Upon hearing it from him, I opened my mouth to refuse him, but he cut me short. "I'm hiring. If you feel like you owe me a favor, come and work at my company. Besides, you're not living on my property for free. I'll be taking ten percent from your salary as the rent."

I rubbed my forehead, at a loss for words. Feebly, I said, "You don't have to do this. I still have some money. And I'm going to replace a job by myself."

"I know, but that won't stop me from replaceing you a place to stay and a job to work," Irvin scoffed. He seemed to be angry. He must be thinking that I was turning him down on purpose. Seeing how upset he was, I didn't continue to say any further.

I sighed. Maybe I should just stop overthinking this. The Granger Group had such a complex business network. So, it would save me some time from going through all the troubles, if Irvin really wanted to help me, I wouldn't need to be so busy in the future.

Since we had reached an agreement on this matter, he asked the maids to pack up after dinner to get ready to leave the next morning.

The next day.

The sunrise was a little late in autumn. It wasn't until around seven in the morning that the sky began to gradually turn warm yellow.

I got up early, too, and washed myself up.

Irvin was already waiting for me when I went downstairs.

Seeing that I was coming down to the living room, he put away his cell phone and said, "Let's have breakfast first. We'll go out after that."

I nodded. I only ate a few mouthfuls. Even though he knew that I couldn't eat much, Irvin still frowned slightly, but that was all he did.

After a simple breakfast, he got in the car with me and started the car. Then, he handed a notebook to me and said, "I found a few suitable positions last night. Take a look at them and let me know which one you're interested in so that I can arrange it. You can go to work on the next working day."

I opened the notebook as told. There was a list written in good handwriting. I looked at it and saw that he had listed more than a dozen jobs, all of which were relatively easy to do.
