Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 18

She didn't want to think too much and had to keep herself busy. Wearing gloves, she cleaned the room. When she was in the last room, she clenched her fists, and thought of the smile of Soren, "come to my room. The air-conditioner of that room was broken, and there was no bed but only a chair. Besides... The decoration of that room was broken, and it was not in a good position either. It was facing the room of the other family. "

The air-conditioning was fine, and the bed was well made. The curtain was fluttering in the breeze. The place facing the window was a distant mountain with a good view and air. He looked so gentle and harmless, but it turned out to be so scheming. She was fooled to sleep in the same room with him, and she even slept in the same bed with him last night.

Damn it! She regretted that she didn't think too much at that time. If she had come a few more steps and pushed the door open, everything would have been clear.

Damn it! Thinking of this, she was not in a good mood. The evil smiling face in front of her kept lingering in her mind.

Little bun was about six years old, obedient and cute. After taking a nap after lunch, he watched cartoon in the sofa, playing with Elsa. Receiving a call from her parents, who said that they had arrived home safely, she was relaxed and turned on the computer to modify the novel she had written. After browsing the website of the newspaper, she stood up and it's time to meet Jane. She waved to the little bun and said, "come on, let's wait for your mom outside. Don't always look at the TV."

"Yes, auntie." The little bun rushed over and held Elsa's hand.

As expected, Jane called Elsa in a few minutes and spoke in a joyful voice, "dear, come and have dinner with us tonight! My interview is successful! "

"Oh my God!" Elsa was surprised too. "Okay. Prepare the wallet and bank card! I want a big meal and N ice-cream ball! "

"Me too! I want it too! " Little bun yelled at the phone.

She went to a fancy western restaurant, where the ice-cream there was delicious. Jane was generous, "please order each dessert and each ice cream."

"Do you think I'm a pig?" "Don't order everything. Order this and this one, please. I can't eat too much," she added

"Elsa, do you know my monthly salary of this company?" Jane said mysteriously, with excitement all over her face.

Elsa stretched out her hand and counted. With a look of disgust, Jane said, "do you really think I'm worth that number?"

Seeing that Elsa couldn't guess any more, Jane was anxious to figure out the numbers and burst out, "five figures. Zaza, it's five figures! From the beginning at two! I have been working in the hospital for many years. My salary and bonus are only four or five thousand Yuan, no more than six thousand at most. "

Elsa was also very happy for her. In a happy way, she said, "waitress, I want to read the menu again. The dessert and ice cream I just said... "

Jane giggled and said, "you really are my best friend. I ordered all the desserts and ice cream. You can't eat meat. Even if you have more desserts, you can't starve me! "

"Is this company reliable? After all, the hospital is stable in work." After she finished typing, she began to think about the reality.

"Absolutely!" Jane handed a pile of documents to her. "It's a very famous company."

After she glanced at the message, she was assured that it was a well-known company. With a helpless smile, Jane said, "little bun is going to be a first grade student. My mother's health is not very good. The prices in Linchuan City are very high, and my salary is very low. I have always been living a hard life. My mother had told me that she wanted me to find a husband or a new job, and I chose to work. Oh, I'm so relieved. I'm going to meet all kinds of gorgeous men in blind dates. I can't even stand on my back. "

The thought of it made Elsa feel sad. Since Jane gave birth to the little bun, she had been having a hard life. Elsa wanted to ask Jane whether it was worth for a man who didn't love her? If she asked that, Jane will be silence and said nothing about this. Elsa couldn't imagine what kind of man had left such a terrible scar in her heart.

Elsa didn't want to talk this when Jane was in a good mood. As she saw little bun sitting like an adult, she changed the topic. "What on earth is it for? You get a high salary."

"The Secretary to the general manager's office. It was said that I will under a lot of pressure at work, because I had to do everything for the boss carefully. Since the boss has some hidden disease and needs to take medicine frequently, few people can do it. I am able to apply for the job because I worked as a nurse. As a matter of fact, I should thank the attending doctor in my department. He recommended me to take the interview because he found me under a great pressure. He cultivated me all the time, but I'm going to leave. "

"No matter what you do, your life is always getting better and better. Don't blame yourself." Raising the cup in her hand, she said, "I'd like to propose a toast to you."

"Cheers for life! Cheers for us! " Then Jane picked up the glass of water and laughed out loud.
