She frowned and chuckled, "I think you're right."
"But I won't go back to the Dempsey's. How about... Do you have some other place for me to stay for a few days?"
"Some other place?"
Sarah paused and quickly replied, "Yes, but it's the staff dormitory of our company. It's kinda shabby. I don't think you'll fit in there..."
"... I will."
Queeny interrupted Sarah before she could finish her sentence.
Seeing this, Sarah frowned and didn't want to take her there.
After all, it was a dormitory...
Queeny could tell that Sarah was hesitant. She smiled and said, "I won't stay forever. Two days top."
Sarah then nodded, "Fine."
They then walked away together.
Inside the black Rolls-Royce, he watched them leave. Sullen, his eyes darkened.
The dorm Sarah stayed in was indeed not very comfy.
She thought that Queeny would not like this place, but Queeny just went straight in.
After graduating from high school, Sarah started to work. She was now waitressing in a nightclub and was working on night shifts starting at 6.
Her company arranged an apartment with three bedrooms and one living room for her. She lived with another two girls. It was quite spacious, but the facilities were a bit old because it was in an old community.
There was a giant garbage dump nearby. People piled their belongings out there because their rooms were overcrowded.
They could see how messy it was as soon as they entered the apartment.
A little embarrassed, she tried to clean up the room and ask Queeny to sit back and relax.
Queeny sat down naturally.
Sarah put some dirty laundry into the washing machine and said, "They must be hanging out somewhere. You could take a shower and wear some of my clothes. I'll introduce them to you when they come back."
Queeny nodded.
Soon, Sarah tidied up the place, gave Queeny some brand new clothes, and asked her to shower.
Queeny took them and went into the bathroom. She had a long shower and came out half an hour later.
A plain dress made her skin look fair. She was charming in a more sophisticated way, compared with Sarah who looked younger and innocent.
Sarah looked at her in a daze.
After a while, she forced a smile.
"That dress is so not your style, but it's OK... I don't have to work tomorrow. Let's go shopping for something that would fit you perfectly in the mall."
Queeny found it hard to reject her kind offer, so she said yes.
Queeny said with a smile, "Okay, thanks."
After Queeny took a shower, Sarah went to buy some groceries and came back to cook.
She cooked herself now. Back in the days before she was born, her father had high hopes for her.
But after she was born, her father was disappointed because she was a girl.
Since then, he often went out to the bar and rarely came home to spend time with his daughter.
However, no matter how much he disliked her, she was his blood, after all. He had been shutting her out, but he had never thought of getting rid of her.
Sarah's mother, Meredith, was too aged to get pregnant again. So it had been Patrick's forever regret that he didn't have a son.
A few years later, Meredith passed away.
