Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1596

Charlie mulled it over before gently suggesting, "I own an electronics factory in Wye District. They're in need of a cook in the cafeteria. Would you be interested?"

"Absolutely!" Shawn nodded eagerly.

"The pay won't be less than what you were earning as a chef in the hotel, but it's a bit further out of town. We provide employee accommodation, you could live there," Charlie explained.

"That's fantastic!" Shawn expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, Mr. James."

"When can you start?"

"Anytime!"

"Alright then, get ready. I'll have my driver call you tomorrow morning to take you there. He'll help you settle in. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me!"

Shawn was so grateful he didn't know what to say, "Thank you so much!"

Charlie smiled lightly, "Don't mention it!"

Shawn rubbed his hands together. He hesitated, and then said, "There's something else I need to ask of you, Mr. James."

"Go on."

"Could you keep this job between us? Don't tell Emily. She wouldn't have wanted me to ask you for help. If she finds out you helped me get this job, she definitely won't let me take it," Shawn said carefully.

Charlie nodded, "Alright, I won't tell her."

"Mr. James, you're a godsend to our family. I'll always remember your kindness. About that $1,000 I borrowed from you, once I save up enough, I'll be sure to pay you back."

"No need, Emily already paid me back," Charlie said. "Despite her anger towards you, Emily still loves you at heart. She cherishes the memories of your kindness when she was a child. I hope you don't disappoint her again. It's never too late to turn over a new leaf."

Shawn's eyes welled up. He quickly lowered his head, "I know."

He rubbed his eyes hard, "I'll leave you be now. I should head back."

He gazed at her a moment longer before heading to his office.

Just before clocking out, Emily brought a few documents to Charlie's office for him to sign.

Charlie's demeanor was as usual. He took the documents, signed them, and asked casually, "Any issues with the tender project?"

"Not at the moment," Emily replied.

Charlie paused, looking up at her, his gaze deep, "What about other areas? Any problems you can't handle?"

Emily was taken aback, she shook her head, "No."

"Emily," Charlie looked at her intently, "when you face problems, don't retreat or hide. Tell me and I can help solve them. Do you understand?"

Emily's heart fluttered a bit, not understanding why he was saying this all of a sudden. She pressed her lips together and didn't respond.
