It was the first time that she had felt the hardship of finding a job, and making money was not an easy thing.
But she was not discouraged. She continued to go on with one company. There were also many part-time jobs for recruiting students. She was full of confidence again, but she came out in dejection.
"Don't I look like a hard-working student?" Euralia signed at the recruitment board, her ears ringing with Bill's words: she couldn't live without him!
Both her low mood and confidence got excited again.
She couldn't compromise with Bill for money. If she went back home, he would use her to get married. Besides, she might also be possessed by him!
She encouraged herself and continued wandering on the street to look for a job.
Her legs were almost broken, so she had to find a small restaurant to sit down for rest and have lunch. She hadn't eaten anything all day, so she was enjoying the noodles in the snack bar.
After finishing her meal, she dragged her luggage and walked out of the store. She saw the sign outside the store needed employees as well. Putting down her luggage, she introduced herself into the house.
The landlady was a middle-aged woman. She liked Euralia very much at the first sight of her, so she agreed to let her stay for a part-time job. But since they didn't have a place to stay, Euralia had to find another way.
She put down her luggage and asked to go to work that day.
She had to earn 100 dollars as soon as possible to rent a house, so she didn't need to worry about living problems. The landlady was a nice person. She agreed to give her one hundred dollars in advance.
It was her first time to do such heavy work. She had never worked as a dish washing machine before. However, not far from her, a pair of eyes were staring at her.
"Mr. Bill, Miss Euralia has been expelled from the school. She works as a dishwasher in a small shop." Bill's servant reported to him.
"What! A dishwasher! "
Bill couldn't believe his ears.
He sent his men to kick her out of the school and was surprised to know that she would return home when she had nowhere to go.
"Yes, Miss Euralia needs to wash a lot of dishes, so she might be still doing the dishes during this period of time," Added one more word.
Bill took a look at his watch subconsciously. It was almost midnight! He immediately ordered his driver to go to the small shop where she worked.
The store was run for night snack stalls, and Euralia volunteered to help throughout the night. She would go all out just for one hundred!
In the middle of the night, she was dozing off as she washed the dishes.
Not far away, a pair of gentle eyes were staring at her. Bill had already arrived at this small shop.
"Mr. Bill, shall we take her home?" Servant could tell from Bill's expression that he was worried.
Bill raised his hand, signaling not to disturb her. He felt bad to see her suffering. But on second thought, he had pampered her for so many years and as a result, she became very capricious now.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of tonight to let her experience the life outside. He wanted her to shrink back from difficulties and go home voluntarily.
The whole night, Bill stood behind her and watched her until four o'clock in the morning.
"Mr. Bill, it's almost dawn. Shall we go back?" His servant reminded him.
"Pay close attention to her and keep her safe." Bill didn't leave until he told them everything.
In the early morning, the landlady of the store gave her one hundred dollars. It was the first time she earned money through her own efforts after she become an adult. She was thrilled to get the money.
"Thank you, Karen." She was so grateful that she could finally find a place to take her in.
"You're welcome. Go to the kitchen and wash the last few bowls." The Karen was very happy today as if something good had happened.
"The last few bowls?" Asked Euralia.
"Someone just bought our store at double the price. I'm so lucky this year! " The landlady said, her eyes shining with money.
"It's him again!" With a tired look in her eyes and a hoarse voice, she said in a helpless tone.
She knew it must be Bill who had forced her to go home! But the more he forced her like this, the more she would reject him in her heart! She would hate him!
The landlady stared at her, confused. She had no idea what she was talking about.
"What's wrong with you? If you are too tired, you don't have to wash the last few bowls. " Said Karen.
"No, I'd better go and finish my work now."
Since Euralia had already taken her money, she couldn't leave until she had done her job well. She was in a low mood and worked all night yesterday, so she was absent-minded.
After washing the last bowl and putting it down, she accidentally broke the bowl. In a panic, she hurriedly picked up the pieces of glass on the ground. However, her finger was pierced by the pieces of glass and blood spilled out.
The landlady came in and found Euralia hand was injured. She wanted to bind it up for her, but she refused. The time for the lesson was less than an hour, so it might be too late for her to make it there.
Pulling her luggage and hooking the bus, she rushed to the University.
A bodyguard of Bill told him that Euralia's hand was hurt by a piece of glass just now. He was about to go to work, but he immediately changed his route and rushed to the school gate.
Euralia got off the bus with one hand carrying the luggage and the other hand hiding in the pocket, not daring to take it out. There was still blood stains on her hands. She was in such a hurry that she didn't clean her hands and wrap them.
Before she could stand firm, her hand in the pocket was suddenly pulled out.
Her white and tender palm had been crumpled with blood all over it.
