Bradley naturally knew why. Back then, that foolish woman was heartbroken over a man who didn’t love her, running off to Lachlan with Milton, who was still a baby.

Although the Parvati was just a small part of his many businesses, he had a keen professional eye for the industry. It was undeniable that even without formal work experience, Melissa had real calent in fashion design.
His silence prompted Ned, who had been with him for years, to understand his intentions instantly and probe. “Mr. Moore, the company is currently holding a design competition open to the public. The top three winners can be hired directly without any background checks. Shall we

Melancholy, Melissa spent half a day curled up on the sofs, finally opening the job search page again and forcing herself to type “high salary
She refused to admit defeat. Because if she did, her precious baby would leave her.
She decided to first find a high–paying job to get by and then gradually seek opportunities to switch jobs once Curtis returned to her.
Anyway, Bradley only mentioned a job with a monthly salary of five thousand dollars but didn’t specify the type of work.
Presenting herself in front of the camera was not Melissa’s cup of tea. After nummaging through the job listing, she set her sights on nightclub
servers.
After all, the nightclub offered the highest pay, and the job description was just about serving drinks, nothing shady.
She’d been to such places before when a classmate had a birthday, knowing the shady part in them. But she believed that as long as she held onto her principles, she wouldn’t be influenced.
Anyhow, she felt nothing wrong about earning money through one’s own hands
Nevertheless, some bad memories were starting to haunt her.
During college, she took a year off due to a car accident, and since her family was already poor, many classmates spread rumors that she was at nightclubs eaming quick money to subsidize her family

The manager of the nightclubs asked her to go for an interview right now.
Melissa was startled, asking, “Now! But it’s already nine in the evening.”
The
manager let out a chuckle. “Girl, we’re in the night business. I think you know it,”
Hearing this, Melissa was a bit hesitant.
Afraid of scaring her, the manager explained, “Don’t worry. We’re a legitimate place. All you have to do is to serve drinks. No other duties will be involved.
The fact that the manager was a woman made Melissa feel a bit more at ease. “Let’s make it clear, I’m just going to be a server, nothing else?” she emphasized again.
The more cautious she was, the more the manager liked her. “I wouldn’t dare let you do something the even if you wanted to just come over. Call nie when you arrive.”

After hanging up, Melissa took a deep breath, changed her clothes, and left the house.
Whatever the case, she decided to go and check it out. If it turned out to be that kind of place, she could just turn around and leave.
