Chapter 31
Feeling worn out, Meredith dragged herself back to the staff lounging area. Upon seeing her looking like a mess, the group of nosy ladies started wagging their tongues.
“Seems like Mister Leon is indeed a pervert.” “I’m sure it’s because he got a glimpse of her face.”
Only Zya hurried over to Meredith and asked concernedly, “Merelyn, are you alright? You don’t look too well.”
“I’m fine.” Shaking her head, Meredith changed her outfit while pulling into a bitter smile.” The wound on my back might have opened.” It was only then did Zya realize that Meredith’s back was bloody and it had gotten worse compared to last night. “Come with me, we’ll drop by Zade’s place and have him treat your wound.”
Zya started walking out the room with Meredith’s hands in hers but Meredith stopped her.
“Hold on, I haven’t received today’s pay.”
“Goodness , Merelyn . Just look at yourself, it’s not the time to be worrying about your pay.”
“Zya, I need it urgently…please.”
After putting on her clothes, Meredith went straight to Miss Josie’s office. Seeing Meredith in a bad shape, Miss Josie could only shake her head silently without saying anything
From the drawer of her desk, Miss Josie took out a total of five hundred dollars and handed it to Meredith.
“This is for the two shows you did and for the time you spent with Mister Josiah.” .
Counting the money, Meredith looked puzzled.
