Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 119

Phishie was puzzled, but Helen merely ruffled her hair. "Let's not dwell on it too much. We just need to focus on our own matters. What do others have to do with us?"

Reassured by Helen, she brightened up and they entered the classroom together.

Meanwhile, Chandler sat in his luxurious office in the Newton Group building. He fixed his gaze on the word on the computer screen. These were the words he received from the Alirian language translator last night. "No!"

Chandler's eyebrows quirked. He pressed the intercom button. Shortly after, Carles entered.

"Regarding the Alirian language translator, have any candidates been found? Send their resumes to my email."

Hearing this, Carles hesitated. "Sir, we haven't received any resumes so far."

Chandler's eyes narrowed in thought before he suggested, "What about the foreign language institutes? Fresh graduates are also acceptable, as long as they can handle basic translation tasks."

"We've inquired at several foreign language institutes in Aguilisco. Alirian is a minority language, and not a single student in Aguilisco had chosen it as their major. So we haven't found anyone suitable yet."

Chandler rhythmically tapped on the desk with his fingers. Glancing at the word 'No' on the screen again, he finally replied, "Name your price. The price is not an issue as long as you're willing to do it."

After sending the message, he felt uneasy and added, "If you have any concerns, we can discuss them in person. As for the salary, it can be as you suggest."

He had never lowered himself so much for anyone. If it weren't for the company's needs and if it weren't for the dire lack of translators…

"Continue with your work. Keep searching for an Alirian language translator. Inform me immediately if there's any news."

"Yes, sir," Carles responded and left.

Not long after, the office door opened again. Head bowed, Chandler assumed it was Carles and asked, "What else is there?"

Chandler was taken aback, "It's just a birthday, Grandpa. It's not that important."

He wasn't fond of formalities. He felt that a simple family dinner would suffice.

"I was thinking, our family hasn't had a proper celebration in a while. Let's celebrate your birthday properly this time. What do you think?"

Chandler didn't understand Esmond's intention and tried to excuse himself with work, "I'm quite busy with cases recently, Grandpa. I have to go on a business trip to Aliry in a few days. Let's skip the birthday celebration."

"You always bury yourself in work. Since that's the case, I'll take care of the arrangements. Just focus on your work and make sure to attend on time."

Chandler didn't refuse and agreed to go along with it after Esmond insisted.
