Chapter 14 Washed Your Suit, Here You Go
Jonathan enjoyed a peaceful half–hour of sleep. Now that Sebastian treated Angela like a god, there was no disagreement. Sebastian nodded immediately and asked for the time, promising to bring it later when it was ready.
Although Angela was unaware of the grudge between the Sanderses and Jonathan, she couldn’t let Jonathan continue taking the problematic pill. She didn’t want to cause any conflict either. She suggested changing the medicine. Jonathan was clever enough to investigate any problems himself.
Jonathan’s face remained cold and indifferent. His gaze shifted and landed on her skirt. With a slight pursing of his thin lips, Jonathan picked up the black suit that had been used as a cushion and threw it at her, saying, “Put it on!”
Angela felt embarrassed and reluctantly put on the suit. “I’ll wash it and return it to you, Jonathan.”
Seeing the slightly overwhelmed expression on the girl’s face, Jonathan’s mood improved a bit. “No need; just throw it away if it’s dirty.” Angela clenched the suit. In 2004, when the economy hadn’t fully recovered, a suit cost hundreds of dollars. And he’s throwing it away just like that
Damn capitalists.
Jonathan smiled, turned his head to Sebastian, and said, “Sebastian, drive.”
As she watched the car speed away. Angela withdrew her gaze and thought for a moment before putting on Jonathan’s suit. It looked oversized on her, but it covered up the marks on her buttocks. Holding her stomach, Angela returned home feeling uncomfortable. If Angela had looked a little longer, she would have seen the car turning into the detached villa in front of the courtyard.
“Sebastian, throw away those pills. Jonathan unexpectedly uttered these words.
Sebastian nodded repeatedly and asked, “What about the Sanderses…
Jonathan just glanced at Sebastian indifferently, and Sebastian immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
After Angela finished tidying up, she rested for two hours. In the evening, she took the prescription she had written and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. At the pharmacy, Angela handed the prescription to the pharmacist and smiled at him. “Hello, please help me get these medicines and grind them into powder. Thank you.”
The pharmacist glanced at the prescription and smiled back, “Okay, please wait a moment.” A few minutes. later, the young man handed a large bag of powdered medicine to Angela, then lowered his head to calculate the price on a calculator.
“Your total is ten dollars.”
Angela took out a stack of coins from the bag, counted them, and handed them to the young man.
Holding the heavy bag of medicine, she suddenly felt a pang of pain. She only had a little over thirty dollars, and this bag of stuff cost nearly a third of her money.
She couldn’t help but sigh. Money really doesn’t last long! Finding a part–time job was becoming urgent.
After allowing it to cool, she could begin making the small pills, Angela worked for a while and felt her arms growing sore. It had been a while since she had last done this, so she was a bit out of practice. Luckily, she wasn’t making a large quantity, and two hours later, she finished. As she looked at the pills of uniform size in front of her. Angela felt a sense of accomplishment.
