Chapter 12 Uncle's Sick
"A kiss!" Jordan said as he bowed his head and kissed her.
Irene didn't expect him to be so presumptuous as to kiss her so abruptly. She slapped him in the face without thinking.
Jordan never dreamed that the gentle and frail Irene would dare to hit him. He didn't dodge and was hit hard.
No one had ever dared to hit Jordan. He let go of Irene at once and said fiercely, "Do you want to be fired?"
Of course Irene knew about Jordan. He was the Third Young Master and the most beloved son of the Reed Family. He'd probably never been slapped in the face by a woman. She just brought herself some serious trouble.
It was not a joke to provoke this rich boy. Jordan would not let it slide easily. She dropped the pretense since this couldn't get worse anyway. "Reed, I've tolerated you for a long time! If you want to fire me, just do it. There are plenty of places where I can find a job. I quit!"
After that, she opened her handbag and took out the phone and the car keys Jordan gave to her. She threw them on the table and turned to leave. Seeing her limping out, Jordan touched his burning face with a playful smile. "Irene, since you got on the wrong side of me, I won't let you go so easily. Just wait and see!"
Irene walked out of the Reed Building and was about to go to the bus station when her phone rang. It was her neighbor. "Irene, your uncle fainted and was sent to the hospital. Come quickly!"
Irene was shocked. She stopped a taxi and rushed to the hospital. By the time she arrived, her uncle was being treated in the emergency room, while the neighbor was waiting outside of the door. Irene rushed forward and asked eagerly, "How's he doing?"
"I don't know. The doctors are working on him. He seems to be in a bad condition."
"What should we do?" Antsy and restless, Irene waited for a long time in the emergency room before the door opened and the doctor came out. "Who is the family member of the patient?"
"I am." Irene hurried forward.
"The patient's condition is not very good. He has uremia and needs a new kidney..."
Irene almost had a blackout. She only regained her footing after reaching out to support herself against the wall.
The doctor gave her a sympathetic look. "At this moment, the most important thing is to find a new kidney. You should first pay the facility and examination fees."
Irene went to the billing department with a heavy heart. When it rains, it pours. She just lost her job and now her uncle got sick...
After paying the fees, Irene was ready to go home to get some things for her uncle. However, she bumped into a person as soon as she stepped out of the hospital. Everything the person was holding fell to the ground. "Don't you have eyes?"
The person cursed furiously. Irene hurried to apologize, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
While apologizing, she squatted down to help the person pick up things. The person was a little embarrassed and took a closer look at Irene. "Irene?"
Irene looked up. "Kinsey?"
"Where did you go? You heartless woman! You haven't contacted me for three years. I'm so mad right now!" Kinsey Miller punched Irene and forgot about the things on the ground.
Two old friends who hadn't met for years naturally had a lot to share. Kinsey's temper was still the same. Back then, Kinsey and Irene were best friends at school. After that, Kinsey chose to go abroad to continue her studies, and Irene chose to marry.
Irene disappeared quietly after she divorced Edric. Kinsey had been asking about her whereabouts since she came back from abroad, yet no one seemed to know where Irene was. She didn't expect that they would meet here by chance.
Kinsey was now a well-known producer at the TV station. Her eyes lit up when she heard that Irene was looking for a job. "Irene, I am planning on making a blind date reality show. We need female participants for marketing in the early stage. Do you want to come and be a female participant?"
"I can't!" Irene shook her head.
"Why not? With your beauty, you can attract quite some attention if you stand on the stage. We keep the goodies within the family. You won't be a female participant for free. Let me tell you, I got some sponsorship for this show. The pay is very high and will be settled daily. Most importantly, it's easy money. I will give you the materials to read later. You will see." Irene was tempted by that. "Can I?"
"Yes!" Kinsey beamed with joy. She took out the phone and dialed. "I've found one female participant. You only need to find five more."
Kinsey was always so straightforward. She immediately gave Irene a large pack of information about the reality show and asked her to study it carefully back home.
