You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 319

"According to the head of the department, I should lawfully be imprisoned. However, since he helped me, I have been spared." Wayne snickered drunkenly before cursing angrily. "He helped me? If he didn't do it in the first place, I wouldn't have been fired!"

"That's enough. Wayne. Why don't I talk to Skylar about letting you work in Skyton Corporation..."

"Coralie, don't." Wayne refused immediately, stopping Coralie in her tracks. "Coralie, if I rely on Skylar, can I even still be considered a man? Am I so incapable that I cannot even look after myself?!" Wayne was determined to rely on himself to get close to Jamie.

"Okay, I'll support you all the way!" Coralie said.

Coralie looked at her drunk brother. For the first time, she felt that he had grown up to be a responsible man, and he knew what he wanted.

On the second day after Wayne got fired, he started looking for a new job.

However, the economy was not good, and he was running out of time. If he wanted to achieve good results within a year, he could not start from the bottom, otherwise he would surely not have enough time. He posted his resume on several online job recruitment pages. For every offer he had gotten thus far, he only managed to pass the first and second interviews, but failed during the final stages.

That day. Wayne failed another final interview for an offer at a big bank. After he received the notice, he waited in front of the bank until the interviewer got off work. "Hello!"

Wayne ran over towards him.

"You are..."

The interviewer looked at Wayne, who seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't place a finger on who he was.

"I was here for the interview the day before yesterday. My name is Wayne Chariott."

"Oh! Wayne Chariott! I remember you now. I met you the other day during the third interview."

The interviewer thought for a moment and finally recognized Wayne.

"Hello, in fact, I have only one question for you. What was the reason for me failing the third interview?"

Wayne needed to know why. He felt that he handled the interviewer's questions adequately, but why did he not pass? He really couldn't wrap his head around it.

"Well... In fact, someone is trying to stop you from getting this job. Were you aware of that?"

The interviewer hesitated, but Wayne's sincerity broke through. Seeing as he showed up even after failing to obtain the position just to replace out why he failed, the interviewer decided to come clean with him. "What do you mean by that?" Wayne asked curiously.

"It is what it is. Did you happen to offend anyone? In fact, the banking industry is neither big nor small. The reason you were dismissed from the last bank would not be known to us until at least a few months later. More likely than that, we would not even replace out until you apply for a new position at our bank. However, in just three days, every bank had been informed about you and what had happened." The interviewer looked at Wayne with sympathy.

In fact, it didn't get any more obvious than that. The entire industry was wary of him. Getting a job in the banking and finance sector would be harder than setting foot on the moon. "Who did I offend..."

"I do not know that," the interviewer said simply.

All of Wayne's past working experience was in the banking industry. If he was to start over in a new field, he would definitely not be able to make it for the 1 year deadline with Queenie.

All of a sudden, he realised who he might have offended.

There was only one person who wouldn't want him to do well in the banking industry, and that person was none other than Queenie Holland.

"I think I know who I've offended. Thank you very much."

Wayne bowed to the interviewer, then turned to leave.

The interviewer suddenly asked, "Do you like this career?"

"Yes, I do!"

Wayne answered without hesitation. However, the answer he gave was basically a standard textbook answer.

"This isn't an interview, you don't have to be so formal with me. Just tell me what's really on your mind." Seeing Wayne's seriousness, the interviewer tried to set the mood again. He asked again, "Do you really like this job?"

"I don't like it... but it's impossible for everyone to build a career from their passions."

Wayne answered honestly, voicing out his thoughts..

He felt that 99% of the people in the world were working outside their passions.

"In fact, it's not that. During the interview, I thought you were capable, but you're probably better suited for something more active."

The interviewer patted on Wayne's shoulder.

Wayne looked like a big boy to him. His smile was dazzling, and he looked like an active person. He couldn't see Wayne being happy stuffed in a suit and tie, clocking hours at a mundane desk job. "Thank you."

Wayne thanked him.

He knew Queenie was forcing him into a corner, cutting off all his routes so that he would not be able to marry Jamie.

Wayne left the bank and went to the hospital to visit Jamie.

For the past few days, he never told Jamie about his retrenchment.

He was afraid that Jamie would be worried, but now he had a new plan in mind.

Ding!

A message notification popped up on Wayne's phone en route to the hospital.

"Dude, what do you think about being an associate coach? Our club could really use a tactician!"

It was a message from Melvin.

When Jamie took the initiative to contact Melvin the other day, Melvin was enthusiastic at the thought of Wayne offering to help. He had contacted Wayne several times since.

Wayne had been delaying his decision as he took Jamie's feelings into consideration.

Seeing Melvin's message today, however, he decisively picked up his phone and rang Melvin up.

As soon as the call got through, Wayne said, "Dude, your tactician is here!"

If Wayne's work in the bank was decent, he had absolute confidence in his analytical ability in games!

Hearing this, Melvin almost teared up. "Bro, I've waited so long for this. Our team members have changed several times due to bad rankings. We would have disbanded if you never showed up!" "Don't give me any nonsense. Send me your address. I'll see you tomorrow!" Wayne chided.

"No problem!"

Melvin happily hung up the phone and sent Wayne the address.

By that time, Wayne had arrived at the hospital. He straightened his clothes before entering the hospital.

Reaching Jamie's ward, he saw her gaming happily on her phone.

As soon as Wayne came in, Jamie paused the game to greet him. However, she stopped herself, changing her mind before she asked. "What's wrong? You look different today."

"I called up Melvin. I'll be reporting to him tomorrow." Wayne answered.

"Really?" Jamie asked.

"Yes, it's true." Wayne replied with enthusiasm.

"No wonder you look so spirited today. You're a fresh breath of air compared to the past few days. If I wasn't taking your feelings into consideration, I would have scolded you already." Jamie scolded Wayne's past self mercilessly.

"To be honest, I lost my job two weeks ago." Wayne came clean with Jamie and said, "I was dismissed due to some issues, and I didn't get recruited after several job interviews, so I've made up my mind." Wayne didn't explain the reason for his dismissal. He also didn't mention that he had been framed, nor the fact that Jamie's mother could be the culprit.

To him, this was the best course of action.
