Chapter 238 - 253 Explanation
Minna looked at Juliana and smiled lightly with relief, "After so many years, I have already been relieved. Everyone has been young and frivolous."
Anyone could have said the wrong thing in anger.
In fact, Minna was also regretful that she really stopped concerning Juliana when she had learned about Juliana's behavior afterward.
She kept thinking that if she had kept talking to Juliana, Juliana might have gotten into high school and would not have had the bad reputation of being a loafer.
Juliana said, "I still have to explain. I got angry and said those things because I saw you with Jayden behind my back and then I heard you say I was stupid and rich."
Juliana had indeed been very close to Minna.
And it wasn't just because of Jayden that Juliana had gotten angry and said harsh words to Minna.
It was also because Juliana had once heard Minna say that she was stupid and had a lot of money.
Minna was stunned and she explained, "I was telling Jayden not to fool you because you used to buy all kinds of things for him."
Juliana used to have a lot of pocket money. Even in high school, she had had at least 50,000 dollars a month.
Jayden, on the other hand, had not had much allowance from his family, so it was Juliana who had bought what Jayden had wanted in many cases.
On one occasion when Jayden had made another oblique request to Juliana about what he had wanted, Minna had gone and talked to Jayden.
She didn't expect Juliana to misunderstand it in this way.
Juliana said, "Actually, it's also because of the lack of trust between the two of us. Because of your words, plus Selene's provocation, we didn't explain and just cut off our friendship."
Juliana had bought a lot of things for Minna as well, but Minna had mostly refused.
When Minna had no choice but to accept it, she had managed to send Juliana a gift, and despite the huge difference in price, she had never allowed Juliana to pay unilaterally in friendship.
In fact, it was mutual no matter if it was love, or friendship, or even kinship.
Minna sighed. Now that they had talked about it openly, she was more and more relieved.
Juliana turned the topic back and looked at Minna, "Now, are you going to accept the job as my special assistant?"
Minna's hesitation at the beginning was not about their relationship. She was not sure, "Will I be able to do this job?"
Although she had gone to college, she had been working part-time because her mother was sick.
The work she did all odd jobs like waitressing, usherette, tutoring and so on.
Juliana looked at Minna and nodded solemnly, "You can try it. There will be a three-month trial period, and if you are not up to the task by then, you will not become a regular worker."
Minna thought carefully for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll take the job, and I won't let you down."
Juliana lifted her chin and gestured for her to sign the contract, "It's easy to work with me. Do your part, I trust you, and you trust me, that's enough."
Minna quickly signed the employment contract and looked up at Juliana with a bright smile, "I will."
They have broken off their friendship and cut off contact for so many years, but Jill could still trust her, so she would definitely not fail Jill's trust!
Juliana was very satisfied with the drive and trust Minna showed.
"Since you have signed the contract, you are my assistant and you will go to work now."
As Juliana said, she took out a stack of paper and put it in front of Minna, "Sort it out, make sure it's okay, and send it to the publisher."
Minna got serious when it came to working. She took the stack of papers and started to organize them.
As soon as she saw it, she was amazed, "Beautiful paintings."
Juliana sipped her bitter coffee and smiled without saying anything.
Minna continued flipping through the sketches, and as she did so, she felt something was wrong and looked up at Juliana in shock, "This is...."
