After washing her clothes, Elaine cooked some porridge and simple dishes and waited for her sister to come home for dinner.
She turned on the television and shifed the channels haphazardly. Now there were practically no interesting programs. They were all alike and boring.
Suddenly!
A piece of entertainment news caught her attention! The host Ellen said, “The private lives of the wealthy had been the focus of this program. Recently, the popular young director of Tianyi Group, Emmett has once again made the headlines.”
The screen displayed a photograph. It’s Emmett embracing a slim and elegant lady coming out from somewhere. The two of them appeared to be very intimate.
“Today, our reporter managed to capture Director Emmett Smith with his new girlfriend, Marina Clooney coming out of the hospital. The two appeared to be in each other’s arms affectionately. According to our sources, Mr. Smith had long known Ms. Clooney and both were secretly in love. Now that their relationship had been exposed and attracted the attention of our viewers, we will continue to report the development between these two lovebirds…”
The report changed to other topics but Elaine was stupefied. Her eyes were wide open and panting!
“Cough, cough…” Suddenly she started to cough violently. When she looked down, she realized that she ate an entire raw radish in just half a minute.
…
“Spicy! So spicy!”
Radish was Hazel’s favorite but not Elaine’s. She just ate so much of it when she was watching the television…
Elaine rushed to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and started to gulp down the water.
“So spicy! Spicy! Spicy...” Elaine drank a lot of cold water and continued to cough. Her tears also began to flow.
“It’s because it was spicy, I’m not sad, that person has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me…” She was dazed as she held onto the washbasin as the water flowed from the tap and the tears flowed from her eyes.
Elaine encountered a very bitter experience on the day when she was accepted to the university and just as she was eighteen, naive and innocent.
For several days Elaine remained at home and didn’t step out of the main door. No matter it was Oliver or Hazel who called her, she wouldn’t leave the house. At times she even turned off her phone. Oliver had to go overseas for a meeting and after calling Elaine, he rushed to the airport and flew to England. Hazel took it seriously and attended the classes on senior management that were arranged by Emmett.
Elaine felt that she should go into hibernation.
Whenever she turned on the television, she would see Emmett being photographed with Marina enjoying themselves at some location. Whenever she turned on the computer, she would see the headlines of Emmett giving Marina some gifts.
“Damn it! Why is this rascal everywhere on the television? Isn’t there anyone else in the world? Why must they continue to report his news? How frustrating!”
Elaine felt that she couldn’t continue in that manner! She will drive herself insane! She found her cell phone and called Sally.
“Sally, it’s me, Elaine… yes, I’ve been home studying … I would like to continue to work at Y nightclub, what do you think? Please ask Fifth brother if I can go… Really? You can decide? Okay! I’ll go and look for you tonight!”
…
After tolerating for ten days, Elaine finally decided to do something with her time. She went to the Y Nightclub at seven o’clock that night.
“Elaine, I’ve waited for you for a long time. Hurry, come in.” Sally wore a red and white suit with her hair bundled up. She already looked like a senior manager.
Elaine’s eyes lit up and looked happily at Sally and praised, “Wow, you really look different. You’re now a manager and look totally different. Sally, you exude the confidence of an executive!”
Sally laughed radiantly, “Heh heh heh, you are really humorous. I’m just a small manager of a few staff. Now that you are here, I’ll let you be a coordinator. Come, I’ll let you know your work requirements.”
After ten minutes, Elaine also wore the red and white suit and appeared in front of Sally.
“Damn! Elaine, how come you look so good in this suit? Your skin looks so fair and your figure is emphasized and your breasts look bigger!”
Elaine’s face turned red and slapped away Sally’s hand which was pointing at her breasts and said, “Stop it, don’t tease me! This suit is rather uncomfortable. Is the skirt too short? See, it barely covered my backside.”
“It’s okay, just relax. Our job doesn’t require us to interact with the customers. We are fine even if we wore bikinis, haha.” Elaine rolled her eyes as Sally continued to chuckle.
Okay, since she was there, she might as well perform a good job. She was the coordinator for the eastern area… this job should be much better than having to drink with the customers.
Elaine got into her role rather quickly. She directed the staff with the two-way radio and ran about ensuring that everything was well arranged. She was free of wild thoughts when she became busy with her work.
