Emma Smith returned to the restaurant. It was just her turn to perform on stage.
Jack Davis didn't pester her. He waited until Emma Smith got off work and found a place to negotiate.
Lily Davis was obedient and cute. Emma Smith agreed to teach her.
Jack Davis gave a high tuition fee and paid for two months in advance. Emma Smith's financial situation was a little easier.
She knew in her heart that Jack Davis was helping her in another way. If it were before, Emma Smith might have refused. But now, she couldn't care about her self-esteem.
When she got home from work, Aunt Mei wasn't there.
Emma Smith called and Aunt Mei said she would be back soon.
After about half an hour, Aunt Mei came back. Before Emma Smith could serve her a late-night snack, she saw that half of Aunt Mei's arm was swollen.
"What happened to your arm?" Emma Smith helped Aunt Mei sit down.
Aunt Mei said casually, "I'm old and useless. Doing a little work and my hand swelled."
Emma Smith's heart tightened.
She immediately looked at Aunt Mei's palm.
She saw several blisters on the originally well-cared palm, each shining.
Emma Smith stared blankly.
For a long time, tears dropped one by one. She wiped them away randomly but couldn't suppress her emotions... She applied medicine and bandaged the wounds for Aunt Mei, and then took out 10,000 yuan from her room for Aunt Mei's household expenses.
She refused to let Aunt Mei go out to work anymore.
At night, Emma Smith cried for a long time.
When she got up early in the morning, there were obvious bluish-purple marks under her eyes. No matter how much concealer she used, she couldn't cover them.
While having breakfast, Aunt Mei instructed her, "If your body can't take it, do less. If it's really not possible, I'll sell that small apartment too."
Emma Smith comforted her, "It'll be better after this period. Aunt Mei, I'll pay attention."
Aunt Mei didn't say anything else!
Emma Smith finished eating, tidied up her bag and went to work at the music center.
As soon as she clocked in, a colleague quietly told her, "A Miss Johnson is looking for you! Emma Smith, if you don't want to see her, we'll say you took a leave."
Emma Smith was stunned. Then she saw Liam Johnson.
Emma Smith didn't hate Liam Johnson but also didn't want to have anything to do with her. She had to trouble her colleague.
But Liam Johnson saw her.
Liam Johnson walked over generously, with a charming expression. "Emma Smith, I want to know why you refused to play the piano at my birthday party? Don't you like me?"
After she asked, the surroundings became quiet.
The colleagues at the music center all knew about Emma Smith's past with Oliver Garcia.
At this time, the fiancée of Oliver Garcia still wanted Emma Smith to like her. It was too cruel for Emma Smith.
Those sympathetic and pitying glances made Emma Smith extremely embarrassed.
She whispered to Liam Johnson, "I happened to have something on that day. Miss Huo, I'm sorry. Find someone else."
Liam Johnson wouldn't give up.
While Emma Smith was at work, she drank coffee outside. She waited until Emma Smith got off work at noon and blocked her.
"Emma Smith, let's have a cup of coffee!" Liam Johnson persisted.
Emma Smith had a good temper, but facing Liam Johnson, she couldn't calm down. She walked directly to a simple restaurant where she usually had meals.
Liam Johnson was wearing designer clothes and high heels. Following closely beside Emma Smith, she said annoyingly, "You can't attend my birthday party. Can you at least help me choose the wedding dress? Jack Davis said you have good taste. Emma Smith, show me... Oliver Garcia will come in a while. Let's have a meal together. Emma Smith, can you give us some advice?"
Emma Smith's face lost all color.
She was betrayed by Oliver Garcia. Her father was going to prison. She was even forced by Oliver Garcia to be his mistress.
But Liam Johnson knew nothing. She was still asking her to love her like others.
Killing one's spirit is just like this!
