The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 762

Harold had managed to scrounge up a hefty sum of two hundred grand and promptly wired it to Janice. Puzzled by the sudden windfall, Janice called him to find out how he’d come into such a large amount of cash. Harold remained vague, simply stating he had pooled the money from a wide circle of college buddies and military comrades. He stressed the urgency of repaying these debts and mentioned his plans to switch jobs in the process.

Janice's heart ached. Damn George, his own misdeeds had dragged their son into this mess. Harold was far too young to bear such a burden, but what was done was done. The priority now was to rally as a family and weather the storm together.

Next, Harold called Cordelia. He felt the need to apologize since it was she who had hooked him up with his current job, and now he was contemplating a change of scenery.

"Thinking of switching jobs?" Cordelia frowned slightly. "Is it because Brenda isn't treating you right, or is there another reason? If it's any of these, I can talk to her."

"It's not that," Harold deflected, careful not to divulge his financial predicament. Even though Willow had assured him that landing a position at the new company would make debt repayment a breeze, he knew that Brenda’s potential for a salary hike would pale in comparison to what he could earn elsewhere. His mind was made up; he was ready to jump ship.

"Is there a problem?" Cordelia pressed. "And have you mentioned this to Brenda yet?"

"Oh, no, not yet. I wanted to get your blessing first before resigning," Harold replied, his politeness unwavering.

"People reach for better opportunities; I'm not going to stand in your way," Cordelia responded.

"Thanks. I appreciate it." Harold was grateful.
