Seeing that I looked at the toiletries as I walked to the bathroom, Seth said with a little shyness, "I haven't bought anything for a woman before. And I don't know what kinds of products you are using. So I just bought a few ones smelling fragrant."
"Thank you." I opened the shampoo and smelled it.
It was fragrant.
After that, he took me to dinner.
During the meal, he said that he was starting a business now and asked me if I was willing to go to his company to be a designer.
I knew that he wanted to help me. But over the past one and a half years, I had been in prison. And I was not sure if I could be qualified for this position.
Hearing my words, Seth said briefly, "I believe in you."
After dinner, he took me to his company and showed me around. After that, he took me to a desk which was prepared for me.
I found that it was a desk in the corner of an office which was closest to his office.
Seth explained, "I remember that when you were having public classes at college, you also liked to sit in a corner."
"Thank you."
I didn't know what else to say.
In the evening, Seth sent me home and left in a gentleman-like manner.
I took a shower early and put on the pajamas that Seth had prepared for me before. Finally, I could fall asleep with ease.
The next morning, when I got up, I saw Lisa lying on the sofa.
While she was sleeping, she stretched out across the sofa.
Instead of waking her up, I went to make breakfast.
She woke up as soon as she smelled the fragrance of the food. Then she put her head on my shoulder and said carelessly, "Charlotte, it's good that you come back. I can enjoy a well-made and delicious breakfast."
I smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it."
That day, Lisa was by my side all day long. She said that she was promoted to be a Chief Attendant and that she was rich now. Although I refused her repeatedly, she took me to improve my look and purchased some commonly used cosmetics. In the afternoon, she took me to do hair styling.
Seeing that my hair was like withered grass, Lisa commanded the barber to cut my hair short all the way to my ears.
