Chapter 1030 Gritting Teeth
"Leon, cut it out, or I'll scream!" Isabella felt the heat from his body against her back and tried to push him away.
But his chest was like a brick wall; she couldn't budge him.
Leon looked down at the nervous Isabella and said, "If you scream, you'll either wake Milo or bring Kathy here. Neither can handle what's going on between us, right?"
"You're such a jerk!" Isabella gritted her teeth in anger.
Milo had just fallen asleep, and she didn't want to wake him. Even if Kathy came, she wouldn't interfere in their marital issues since they were still technically married.
But Isabella knew Leon well enough to be sure he wouldn't actually do anything crazy.
"Do you even know what a real jerk is?" Leon frowned at her.
"Isn't it just like you? I know it all too well!" Isabella raised her chin, staring at him defiantly.
Leon tightened his grip, pressing her body firmly against his.
"You..." Isabella gasped.
Leon interrupted her, looking her up and down, "I'll show you what a real jerk is."
"Let go of me!" The position was too embarrassing, making Isabella's heart race. She began to struggle desperately but kept her voice low because she didn't want to wake Milo or bring Kathy over, which would be too humiliating.
Seeing Isabella's face turn red with anger, Leon finally let go of her.
In the next moment, Isabella pushed Leon away and turned to the other side of the bed.
Leon then looked at the sleeping Milo.
He leaned forward and kissed Milo's chubby cheek.
At this moment, Isabella asked with disgust, "Milo just fell asleep, don't wake him up! Also, isn't it time for you to leave?"
Hearing this, Leon straightened up, looked at Isabella with a half-smile, and said, "Don't worry. I'll handle the mess you made, and I'm not mad. After all, you're my wife, so naturally, I'll take care of it."
Leon's tone made Isabella feel unfairly blamed, even though she was a bit impulsive.
"Are you saying I was wrong to confront your mistress? Get it straight, you two deserve it!" Isabella couldn't help but explode in anger.
"I'll say it again, Bronte and I have nothing! I'll be very busy in the next few days, so I won't have time to see you and Milo. Take care of yourselves. I'm leaving now," Leon said with a stiff face and then turned to leave.
He didn't give Isabella a chance to argue or fight.
After Leon left, Isabella grew angrier and threw a pillow on the floor in frustration.
In the following days, Leon indeed did not come to disturb them.
However, one afternoon, Isabella received a call from the advertising company that had previously wanted to hire her.
"Hello, is this Ms. Brown? This is EchoEffect Advertising," The person on the other end spoke politely.
"Yes, hello." Hearing it was EchoEffect Advertising, Isabella quickly smiled and greeted them.
But deep down, she was ready to turn down the job offer from EchoEffect Advertising because she hadn't weaned Milo yet. No way could she go to work while still breastfeeding. No company would hire a woman still nursing, especially for such a high-paying position.
Then, the person on the other end said kindly, "Ms. Brown, our general manager personally reviewed your resume and is very satisfied. We hope you can choose our company. Also, we heard you are still breastfeeding. The general manager has specially approved that if you join us, you can go home to breastfeed from 11 AM to 2 PM every day. Ms. Brown, do you have any other requests? Let me know, and I'll report them to the general manager immediately."
Isabella was stunned.
She had been worried about this because of Milo. She thought she would have to painfully give up this job opportunity.
She was surprisedthe company give her three hours at noon go home and care for Milo, unlike most companies that only offer a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break.
Isabella quickly did the math in her head. Three hours at noon would be enough for her to breastfeed Milo, so she agreed without hesitation. "Thank you for the general manager's understanding. I'm honored to join EchoEffect Advertising. Please tell the general manager I can start tomorrow!"
Hearing Isabella agree to start work, the person on the other end enthusiastically said, "Great, I'll inform the general manager. However, the general manager said you don't need to start right away because the previous financial director hasn't finished the handover. Once that's done, we'll notify you to start."
Isabella frowned and asked, "When will the handover be completed?"
The person hesitated and said vaguely, "It's hard to say, maybe a week, maybe half a month. In the meantime, the general manager said the company will provide you with a basic living allowance, so you don't need to worry. Just take care of your baby at home."
Isabella was overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly before hanging up.
Then, she excitedly threw her phone on the bed and happily collapsed onto the soft bed.
She never expected such a twist. She thought it would be a long time before she could return to the workforce, but this unexpected joy came her way.
It seemed that getting her CPA certification was the right decision. Otherwise, how could she find such a well-paying job that also allowed her to go home at noon to take care of Milo? Who was this general manager? They were so considerate of ordinary people!
Thinking of this, Isabella suddenly froze.
Feeling puzzled why this general manager knew she was breastfeeding, she hadn't mentioned having a nine-month-old baby in her resume.
Isabella picked up her resume and flipped through it, confirming that she hadn't mentioned having a baby. So how did the general manager know? Did EchoEffect Advertising investigate her?
Considering the importance of the financial director position, it made sense for the company to investigate her, so Isabella didn't think much more about it.
