Chapter 155
Alice was invited to several small companies the next day.
The first round were all video interviews. One company’s HR had a great conversation with her, but the company was out of town, requiring a three to five hour train ride.
Alice thought for a moment. The company wasn’t large, but it had good prospects, so she took the train.
On the train, she received two more invitations, but they all required in-person interviews.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew Michael had no connections with these small companies and couldn’t have said anything to them.
He probably wouldn’t expect that after serving him for ten years, she’d end up leaving him for a smaller company.
However, Alice didn’t care anymore. As long as there was a suitable position, she was willing to check it out.
For five consecutive days, Alice was either screening companies for interviews or on her way to interviews.
She had to cast a wide net in order to secure a suitable job.
Except for some very small companies, she had applied to almost all medium-sized enterprises.
Her resume was impressive, and because she’d participated in many big projects she received many interview invitations.
In five days, she had been interviewed by more than twenty companies.
After returning home, she noticed that she had lost a lot of weight.
Mira looked at her in shock. “Alice, did you go for interviews or attend a weight loss camp? Ten pounds in five days p>
Alice climbed out of bed and took a fierce bite of bread. “Not that much. I only lost eight p>
“You didn’t have many pounds to begin with! Mira looked at her with concern. “Are you going out again tomorrow p>
Alice looked at the notifications on her phone. There were two more interviews tomorrow, but they were a bit far, and she was
considering it.
Seeing her like this, Mira got up. “Stop eating bread, it doesn’t have any nutrients. I’ll cook you some pasta, it won’t take long p>
Ten minutes later, Alice finally had a big plate of spaghetti.
She didn’t mind, it was the first proper meal she had in days.

Mira shook her head as she watched Alice wolf down the food. “Could you eat slowly p>
Mira sighed, “You’ve interviewed so many companies. Have you decided on one? They should have sent you job offers by now, right p>
Alice paused with her fork, suddenly realizing something was wrong.
Mira widened her eyes. “Don’t tell me you didn’t get any offers p>
After putting down her fork, Alice swallowed the pasta with some difficulty and then nodded awkwardly.
She sensed something had been off these past few days, and now she knew why.
Mira understood immediately. That damn Michael, he’s messing with you, isn’t he? I’m going to confront him, why did he do this?
She was about to leave, but Alice quickly hugged her. “Forget it p>
“Forget it? How can you forget it? Mira clenched her fists in anger. He won’t let local companies give you a chance, and now he’s
interfering with out-of-town companies too? Look at how much weight you ve lost! You ve been running around, and he’s just
watching you struggle p>
Mira was furious with Michael.
If he wanted, he could help her land a job without an interview, but he instead chose to torment her.
“Forget it! There’s no point confronting him.” Alice pulled Mira back to sit down.
However, she was still very angry. She had been played, and she should have realized it sooner.
She was too eager to find a job and didn’t notice the problem. It was all her fault for being too stupid.
Alice sniffed. “Let’s wait for a while. Aurora is back, and he probably won’t have time to bother me in a month or two p>
She remembered the doctor saying she needed to take care of her health.
Alice hugged Mira. ‘Don’t worry, Mira, I’ll treat it as a vacation. It won’t be so bad p>
‘No way, what vacation? Girl, you need to make money! I don’t believe there’s no suitable job. Let me check my contacts. Michael
can’t control everything p>
Mira angrily picked up her phone and started scrolling through her WhatsApp contacts.
Alice smiled self-deprecatingly. Michael could control everything, and that certainly included blocking her opportunities.
At the Wildfire Saloon, the most popular bar in the city, Michael and his group were drinking in a private room.

Chapter 155
David Jones was back, and they were welcoming him.
In Michael’s circle, only David didn’t have a father.
His father had died suddenly, and everyone coveted the Jones family. David had to hold up the family during that time.
He was very capable and his ruthlessness to outsiders was well-known. He only had a good relationship with Michael and a few
others.
Even this bar had been taken over by him, and no one dared to say a word.
David had just returned from the restroom and put his arm around Michael’s shoulder.
“Michael, have you gotten into another romantic entanglement? There’s a young girl at the bar asking if you’re here p>
Clifton raised an eyebrow. “What kind of young girl p>
“Aren’t all young girls the same?” David shrugged.
“Delicate? Clifton continued to ask.
David curled his lip. “I told you, all young girls are the same. Which one isn’t delicate? Do you think they’re all like Alice? Michael is
the only one she smiles at. I almost thought she was a robot p>
Then he clicked his tongue. “But the girl outside is quite aggressive, loudly demanding to see you. You have too many women p>
Clifton understood. ‘Is it Briar Savage p>
He knew Briar was Michael’s secretary.
He looked at Michael. I told you, don’t get involved with the Savage family. Now you’re entangled, right p>
“I fired her a few days ago. Michael drank a glass of wine, still expressionless.
Not only did he fire Briar, but now, seeing anyone from her family annoyed him.
Also, seeing anything related to the Savage family made him feel unlucky.
David laughed. “You still don’t know how to be gentle with women. But really, which young girl doesn’t cling to you? Even Alice was
like a little follower, clinging to you every day p>
He looked around. “Wait, where’s she p>
To him, wherever Michael was, Alice was there too.
He had seen Alice follow Michael even when she was so sick she could barely walk.

Michael frustratedly drank another glass of wine.
Clifton quietly reminded David, ‘She resigned p>
“What?’ David couldn’t believe it. “She resigned? Impossible p>
Clifton shrugged. ‘It’s true. Her contract ended, and she didn’t want to work for Michael anymore, so she resigned p>
He added, “Not only that, Michael was so embarrassed by this, he blacklisted her and now she can’t even find a job anywhere else p>
He is really petty p>
