Emily glanced up and mustered a smile. “No need to worry.”
“You’re still young, no need to be so glum!” Aimee exclaimed.
Emily chuckled. “You’re only three years older than me!”
Aimee offered a faint smile. “As long as it’s not a matter of life or death, keep your spirits up!”
Emily took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and thought to herself, “Yes, I may have lost a job, but I
can find another one. It’s not a major setback!”
“Thanks, Aimee!” Emily giggled, showing her cute dimples.
“No problem!” Aimee patted her shoulder and got up to leave.
As Emily was about to get back to work, her phone in her apron pocket vibrated. She saw it was her
mom, so she went to the back of the workspace to answer.
“Mom, what’s up?”
“Emily, are you at work?” Gina asked worriedly.
“Yeah.”

to give you 100,000 dollars, so I’ll send it to your account.”
Emily was stunned, not expecting this much money.
“Can my brother still afford the down payment if you give me 100,000 dollars?” Emily asked.

“What about yourself? If you use all your money for my brother’s house, what about you?” Emily asked
with concern.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Gina interjected, “I managed to save some money for myself, and I also found
a new job that provides accommodation and meals. I don’t require much extra money. You, on the
other hand, are a young woman living independently, and you’ll need funds for various expenses.
Moreover, school will be starting soon, and there will be tuition fees to consider.”
Emily didn’t explicitly decline her mother’s offer.
Gina asked tentatively, “Emily, do you have a boyfriend?”
“No, why do you ask?” Emily was puzzled. “Mom, why did you suddenly ask this?”
Gina hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I thought that if you had a boyfriend, he could help
lighten your load a bit.”
Emily responded, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, “I don’t want a boyfriend at the moment.” “Take care

back.”
“Oh, I see!” Charlie smiled, “You can come to me if you need money in the future.”
“Okay, go back to work. I won’t bother you!”
“Bye!”
After hanging up, Emily felt relieved, her frustrations from being fired vanished, and the pressure in her
heart lifted.
In the evening, Charlie invited Jonathan to join him at the Midnight Bar. He poured him a drink,
teasingly remarking, “I figured you might be bored sitting alone at home. Am I thoughtful or what?”
Jonathan lounged on the sofa, a lazy smile on his face. “I heard you’ve broken up again.
Congratulations!”
“Why would you congratulate me on breaking up?” Charlie raised an eyebrow, curious about
Jonathan’s response.
Jonathan replied with a playful tone, “I’m congratulating you on your ability to quickly find another
girlfriend.”
Charlie chuckled, acknowledging Jonathan’s understanding of his dating habits.
As he lit a cigarette, Charlie suggested, “Why don’t you consider changing things up too?”
