After sending off the lead host and his sister, she became a pauper overnight.
"I'm feeling the pinch now…" she uttered mournfully while clutching her chest.
My money! Oh, my money!
Her bestie did not have the heart to chide her further. "How about I soothe your pain with some ice cream?"
She lifted her head with a piteous look. "I want two!"
Li Meng could not bear to look into her bruised and swollen face. "I'll get you two."
As she enjoyed the ice cream her friend got for her, she felt her pain slowly dissolving away.
"I'm gonna work harder from today onwards!"
"How much more do you want to do? Other than when you're sleeping at night, you're working the whole time." Her friend rolled her eyes.
"Sigh. If only there're 48 hours in a day," she lamented.
"Even 48 hours wouldn't be sufficient for you."
