Chapter 190
Well, that killed the conversation Without another word, Serenity quietly sat there and looked at the streetscape outside the window. Liberty had just arrived when Serenity and Zachary reached the shop.
“Liberty,” Serenity said as she got out of the car.
Liberty turned around and noticed that it was her sister and Zachary.
With her plump face beaming, she asked, “Where were you and Zachary coming back from?”
“I went to his workplace to call him over for lunch.How was it, Liberty? Did you find a job?” Zachary came down from his car and greeted Liberty, to which the latter responded with a simile.
However, Liberty appeared beaten when her sister mentioned work.
Shaking her head, she replied, “Not yet.I submitted a bunch of resumes, but I either hadn’t heard back or got a flatout refusal.”
After a pause, Liberty added, “When they heard I have a two-year-old at home, they said I’d be preoccupied and distract my kid is young.
It got me so riled up.
Who said a mother with a toddler can’t focus at home “I told them that someone will look after my kid, so I would definitely give my everything during working hours.
They refused to listen and turned a deaf ear.
It seems mothers now face discrimination when looking for a job.” Liberty was tired and hungry from the morning of job-hunting.
Still, it came to nothing.
Her mind wandered back to when her in laws criticized that she would not be able to live if she left Hank Liberty had been out of touch with society for three years, After a long hiatus, Liberty would not have the luxury of picking a workplace.
Instead, she was at the mercy of the hiring companies.
Here she was, dreaming about getting back into her finance director role.
Now it seemed she would be lucky to find a job in any industry at all.
“It’s okay, Liberty.There’s no rush.Take your time.You’ll find a suitable job.” Serenity consoled her sister while linking arms with her sister as they entered the shop.
“Let’s have lunch and a rest.You can continue the job hunt later.Maybe you can submit your job applications online and wait until you’re called for an interview to go out.”
“I submitted a few applications online, but hadn’t received many callbacks for an interview.”
As for returning to the working scene, Liberty was confident at first, but the morning job hunt cast a shadow of doubt on her.
Perhaps she should lower her standards.
It did not have to be a job in finance.
She could try something else “Has Sonny been good?”
“He’s been good.He had fun with Jasmine.He was taking a nap after his meal when I was on my way out to pick Zacharyup.He must still be asleep.” Liberty grinned.
“He’s a cheeky monkey when I watch over him but he’s a good boy for someone else, Isee.” She went to check on her son.
With her son sleeping soundly, Liberty reached out to caress his little face and leaned in for a kiss.
Liberty then came out to join everybody for lunch.
“Mr.York, have some more since you work a lot.” Serenity gave her man an extra helping of food.
Picking up that her sister called her brother-in-law Mr.
York, Liberty said, “It’s strange that you address Zachary as Mr.York.” Serenity giggled.
“it’s fine.I always call him different names.It’s all him anyway.He’s used to it.” Zachary echoed her claim, “Liberty, we call each other whatever we want to.Sometimes, I’d call her Ms.Hunt.” Liberty answered with a smile, “Alright, alright.I see you have your little fun there.Whatever floats your boat.” She and Hank would call each other “honey” all day when they were most in love as newlyweds.
Somewhere down the road, Liberty started to call Hank by his name and vice versa.It appeared it had been a while since Hank addressed her as “honey.
