'Gosh! Do rich people spend money to suffer like that?'Eevonne shut her lips as tightly as she could."Is it very bitter?" Ruth asked, smiling.Eevonne nodded. "I'm sorry, Missus Ford and Miss Mann. I…It's not that I haven't had coffee before. It's just that the coffee that I had before was those with milk and plenty of sugar added. This is my first time having such pure and bitter coffee without anything added at all…"Ruth smiled again. "Pay attention to the back of your tongue now then. Is it still…bitter?"When Eevonne was talking, she already sensed it. Why did she feel that a little bit of aroma was slowly emerging from the back of her tongue? There…was even a little bit of sweetness. It was not the kind that was too strong. Instead, it was very subtle and it made you reflect on the taste. However, when you truly were to pay attention to the aftertaste, you would not be able to catch it. It would make a person…space out. It would also slowly make a person happy. It was r
Sabrina nodded. "It's me.""Missus Ford…" Eevonne said.Sabrina smiled and said calmly, "Eevonne, in comparison to your experience, the kind of situation I was in back then…I simply did not have a way to continue living. I had people chasing after me to attack me no matter where I went. When I walked down the street with my duffel bag, others would think that I was a homeless person scavenging for things. I once spent six years living my life on the run. My father, my stepmother, and my stepsister, the three of them kept hiring people to hunt me down. They hunted me down so much that…I could only work on a construction site to move bricks to support my family. I was even carrying my child in my belly then. At that time, when it hadn't even been a month since I gave birth to my child, I was standing in the mud again and building walls with mud together with those young laborers."Hearing Sabrina saying all that, Eevonne was covered in tears and was choking with sobs. "Missus Ford…you
"At the critical moment, when you had to fight for security for your children, you were so brave and you actually barged into someone else's wedding. Sabrina, you made me understand one thing—no matter how terrible the circumstance a woman is in, she can never lose the proud queen in her! Also, no matter the time and place, I can never have any wild dreams. I should never hope that Prince Charming will come to rescue, for example."Sabrina nodded emotionally. "Yes, when I…was very poor, when I was at the lowest point in my life, I had not filled my stomach or had any hot water to drink for a few days, but I have never fantasized that a Prince Charming would come to my rescue. Everything that I have is what I've fought hard for bit by bit with my own hands. Eevonne, good girl, when a person is facing adversity, no matter how adverse it is and no matter unbearable the situation is, it's fine. As long as you don't do anything that goes against your conscience and follow your heart, you w
Her request stunned Sabrina and Ruth. Both of them looked at each other.Eevonne, however, said in a hurry, "I know you must be surprised. However, I have witnessed with my own eyes how lost and confused Kingston was when searching for his cousin. I was thinking that there must be a reason for Kingston to leave all the business affairs behind and not stay in the company but spend most of his time searching for his cousin. That reason must be that Yvonne's parents miss their daughter very much."Sabrina sighed. "That's true.""I'll just do whatever I can within my abilities. That way, Kingston's efforts would not be in vain after he went to such lengths to help me," Eevonne said sincerely.Sabrina nodded. "Alright. After you've settled down, I'll take you to Yvonne's house. Ruth and I will go over every now and then anyway. We'll bring you along when we are heading there.""Mm-hmm!" Eevonne nodded heavily. From that day on, Eevonne's new life has begun. She kept acting according to
"Don't be afraid. The company is still recruiting. They are still looking for three more people. Don't worry. Just don't worry."Eevonne lifted her head and smiled. "It's fine. I'll first try to arrange them and see."The doorman shook his head and left. While leaving, he kept shaking his head and said while sighing, "I think this girl would not last that long. Which young girl would be willing to endure this hardship? I'd better hurry up and tell the human resource department to find a few more older women for the job, so the work of those departments wouldn't be delayed."He left while saying that.Eevonne, however, started to work hard and seriously.There were truly plenty of parcels.The number of parcels was even more than a slightly bigger express company.Logically speaking, it was truly difficult to distinguish all these parcels that were piled up. However, Eevonne had already discovered a clue.She was born a girl that was very good at thinking.She noticed that ther
The doorman felt that it was a pity. "I was thinking how can such a young girl do this kind of work. Look at you. You're covered in sweat from the heat and your face is covered in dust. Hurry up and take a rest. Nobody works so hard as you. There are plenty of people who did not graduate from middle school and are doing nothing. On the contrary, it's rare to see a person who is so down-to-earth like you. You're truly very good."Eevonne instantly felt touched. An unprecedented sense of honor unexpectedly emerged in her. She suddenly realized that being able to truly hold her head up high could not be obtained by covering up her flaws. Instead, it was won by using her own efforts and actual action like she had done at that moment. Even if a person did not graduate from middle school, as long as the person did well, that person would still be admired by others!She smiled and said humbly, "Sir, no, I mean mister, well…you've been working here for a very long time. Can you help me reque
"However, you may have to wait for another half an hour. I'm sorry, Mister Watte, I…I can only bring it to you when it's convenient to my work schedule. I can't make a special trip for it. Otherwise, it will affect my own work. How about this? Since I was the one who ordered one less milkshake for you, it'll be my treat later."Eevonne looked at Mister Watte, who was right in front of her, and she looked extremely apologetic."Silly girl. Why are you so honest?" Mister Watte smiled and said gently, "Do you know your honesty is really very refreshing? Every time we see you pushing the cart over energetically to deliver things to us, we feel that life is full of vigor and we feel that a ray of sunlight is here again. You are our sunshine. Our little sun! I'll just let you know then. One of the two milkshakes I've ordered is meant for you!"Eevonne was speechless. At that moment, she was so excited that she was at a loss for words. Finally, she has won the respect and favor of others o
Eevonne was surprised. "Alright."It has already been almost three months since she started working at the Ford Group. Eevonne has always been saying that she wanted to go to Yvonne's house, but she has never been able to make it. At first, it was because she did not have a place to stay and did not have money to rent a bed at the backpacker's hostel anymore, so she had been sleeping on the floor in the warehouse at the company. Later, she got her first paycheck after working for a month and bought a bicycle. After that, she started working as a food delivery person. Only then did she manage to find a cheap house to rent.She originally was thinking that after both of her jobs were stable, she would immediately go to Yvonne's house to visit her parents. However, there was still a huge difference between a person's expectation and reality sometimes. In the first month when she just started to work as a food delivery person, she often made pointless trips, went the wrong way, and encou
