The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 134

Damaris was genuinely tempted.

But after deliberating for a long time, she shoved the phone back into Mika's hands.

"No, no! I just got my hands treated. I'm not going to ruin a premium spa treatment just to go scrub plates. It's not worth it for a couple thousand dollars."

"And scrubbing floors at Caleb's house doesn't ruin your hands?" Mika sneered.

"How much is Caleb paying you?"

Damaris fell completely silent. After deducting household expenses, she was usually left with barely a few hundred bucks a month.

Seeing her hesitation, Mika kept pushing. "Besides, you don't have to wash dishes. You could be a live-in nanny.

It's the exact same chores you do at Caleb's, but you can make around five thousand dollars a month, with room and board fully covered."

"Of course, it's just a suggestion. If you don't want to, do whatever you want."

Five thousand?

If her living expenses were covered, she could save up sixty grand in a single year!

This time, Damaris was deeply moved.

The high-end facial had opened her eyes to how women in the big city actually lived.

Contrasting that with her own miserable existence, the scales in her heart slowly tipped away from Caleb and toward Mika's plan.

But the thought of Caleb's inevitable fury sent a cold spike of dread through her, filling her with resistance and fear.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's just eat. We'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Damaris hastily brushed the topic aside, turning to stare out the window at the towering skyscrapers. Still, she couldn't mask the profound curiosity and longing swimming in her eyes.

Mika watched Damaris's conflicted expression in the rearview mirror, a complicated look flashing across her own face.

She knew her mother was forty-three. Many of her beliefs were deeply ingrained.

Ever since marrying Mika's father, she had been conditioned to rely on men.
