Chapter 22 First Job
In the seafood restaurant, the waiter handed Sophia the bill. "Madam, could you please settle the bill?"
Sophia angrily took it and tossed it aside without even looking. "How much is it?"
"It's a total of $120,00."
Sophia snapped her head up. "I only had a few lobsters! Why is it so expensive? Are you trying to extort me?"
The waiter hurriedly explained, "Oh no, that's not the case. Besides your table, there's also the bill from the table of those two ladies just now! They ordered more, so naturally, it's more expensive."
Sophia pounded the table. "They ate, so you should ask them for money! Why should I pay?"
The waiter was puzzled. "But, isn't that lady Mr. Reed's wife? They said Mr. Reed would settle the bill, but since Mr. Reed left first, we have to ask his assistant, which is you."
Assistant?
Sophia was speechless with anger.
To make matters worse, the waiter asked again, "Aren't you his assistant?"
"Yes!" Sophia gritted her teeth as she reluctantly paid the bill with her card, seething with frustration for a long time.
This couldn't go on.
Emily couldn't officially divorce Nathan for a day, and Sophia couldn't legitimately become a member of the Reed family for a day!
She didn't want to suffer this humiliation a second time!
Taking out her phone, she dialed a number. "Mom, when are you coming to New York? I need your help..."
...
Back at Room 2307, Emily received a call from Mr. Satan as soon as she stepped inside.
"Did you let off some steam today?"
Emily was quite accustomed to his well-informed manner. "Yeah, Olivia was right. I can't be weak anymore. Whoever bullies me, I'll fight back."
Mr. Satan chuckled softly. "You go ahead and do what you need to do. With me around, you can do anything."
Emily chuckled. "Are you working right now?"
"Well, sort of."
"Can you call me during work hours? Is that okay?"
"No one can control me, and no one can stop me," Mr. Satan said. "Emily, take a break and rest before going to the hospital. You got up too early this morning. Don't overwork yourself."
Emily felt a warmth in her heart. "It's okay, I don't feel tired."
"Oh..." His voice suddenly became sexy and provocative. "Then I'll come home early tonight, and we can start early."
Click.
The call was abruptly disconnected.
