Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 13

Janet's focus was fixed on the laptop.

She took the last bite of the sandwich. "Yes, I did. But I failed the interview," she answered while typing. "I'm checking other companies now."

Ethan took a small bite of the sandwich and put it down. He quietly looked at her resume and portfolio. She had achieved excellence in school, designed several works, and had won several awards and accolades. Although her jewelry and clothing designs looked amateurish, it was still better compared to the works of her fellow graduates.

A fresher with exceptional talent like this deserved a job at the Larson Group.

"Why did you fail? Did the interviewers tell you the reason?" Ethan put the sandwich on the plate and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. His face looked cold and stern.

Janet looked up at him. She felt strange and couldn't understand why he was asking her too many questions.

However, they were a married couple now. He had the right to question her for knowing her better.

"Perhaps it was an unlucky day for me," she said, shrugging. "One of the interviewers was my schoolmate. She has been harboring a grudge against me. Maybe that's why she didn't want to hire me."

Ethan's face darkened. He nodded without saying anything more.

Enoch, too, was confused as to why he was questioning her.

Her failure or victory had nothing to do with him.

However, he didn't know the HR department of the Larson Group had an employee who rejected a talent for a personal grudge. He couldn't tolerate the injustice, so he questioned her.

Or that was what he told himself.

Janet checked a dozen companies and sorted the information of the company she had to go to for an interview the next day.

After that, she stretched herself and looked around the small house.

The house looked small, but many things were crammed inside. The decorative pieces on the shelves were all piled up together. Several old magazines and a few flower pots with withered roses sat on the window sill.

Several showpieces and objects were scattered carelessly everywhere. Janet knew he must have bought these right before their wedding.
