Anna nodded, then quickly sat down. She had never imagined such a happy ending.‘Ten times. I should be able to finish the copy by the end of the day.’ Anna flipped through Vivia’s chemistry book, carefully counting the pages of the latest lesson.‘Oh, this is about three pages, ten times thirty. I hope I can make it in time!’ Anna looked at her watch. There were about eight hours left until bedtime.Reng!!!The school bell rang, and students all over the school instantly exploded.Contrary to everyone’s joy, Anna was still sitting in her place. She lowered her head and scribbled, her hand moving constantly.‘Hmm, already written five times, half more left. I’m afraid I’ll have to sit here a little longer.’ Anna glanced at her watch from time to time, remember clearly that she had an overtime shift at the bar today.Thinking that it would take more than an hour to get on the bus, then go home and wash up, Anna determine stayed at the school until she finished writing ten copies of the
Phew~Anna sighed. Today is an unlucky day for her.She does not bring Chemistry books to school. When she go to work, she get stuck in traffic and get on the wrong bus, which is an hour late.‘I don't know what everyone is doing today.’ Anna wasn't happy in her heart.Of all her part-time jobs, this one at the bar was the highest paying, able to pay more than half of her mother’s medical bills in a month.She received the second highest amount of money from a Medrano scholarship, not from her part-time job. That was the reason she entered this school.Within a month, the total of the items above almost paid for her mother's medicine.Anna will earn money for living from the remaining part-time jobs. After all, she is also human and has her requirements for living, but she cannot ask for money from her father, so Anna must make a living for herself.Anna's father took care of the general living expenses that need to be spent in the family. In addition, Jimmy’s younger brother also wor
Five Roses bar, 7:30 p.m.The atmosphere in this bar is bustling, people come in and out, their faces are red, and their smiling faces are happy.The dancers were in the stands. Most are female dancers, only a fifth are male dancers. This gender disparity is also because the tastes and the number of customers are not the same.However, oth males and females are attractive.The body of the female dancer is hot, the white skin and delicate lines hidden under the jet-black fabric stimulate the eyes of male guests regardless of age. The women working in this bar wear feather masks that cover half of their faces. There is no exception, whether it is a dancer, server, or receptionist. The bartender may not need to wear a mask if they want to.Male dancers are similar to female dancers. They all wore masks that covered half of their faces, but their upper bodies were bare, revealing every muscle of their strong and muscular muscles. Because several female customers regularly come here, the m
Hearing Brandon’s question, Anna replied.“This is one of my favorite places. Whenever something sad happens, I usually come here to order a bowl of Mie Goreng noodles. The taste of this dish is really great. It can make me temporarily forget those unpleasant things.”“Where you sit is where I sat. I like the private space. The feeling is very comfortable and all my body is completely relaxed.”Brandon chuckled. He didn’t imagine the time when Bunny would be so dull. He still remember the first day we met. She slapped him hard. Brandon thought that Anna was a rather hot-tempered person.“So, why are you eating pasta today?” Brandon remembered that Anna didn't call Mie Goreng, so he asked again.Anna laughed. She tapped three times on the partition.“Going with you today, I wanted to change it up a bit. It’s boring to eat one dish all the time!”Brandon was silent for a moment, and he suddenly felt a small vibration in his heart.“Is there a change to the food you ordered here, Bunny?”
The two became silent, and when they finished eating, Anna asked Brandon softly.“You came to me today because you had something to say, didn’t you, Brandon? If so, please tell me. I’m listening!”Brandon was silent for a moment, then Anna heard his voice, low and soft, but with a hint of ambiguity that she couldn’t articulate.“I would like to ask you something.”“For example, when someone helps you, it is natural for you to return the favor, right?”“Repay?” Anna asked again. She understood what Brandon was talking about.“Right. It’s gratitude. I would like to talk to you about giving back.” Brandon did not know that Anna was surprised. He thought he spoke too quietly for her to hear.“Is it normal to repay other people for their help, right, Bunny?”Anna thought that this was not wrong. When someone helps her, she also wants to repay them. So, why did she feel angry at Brandon when he said these words to her?“Erm… it’s normal.” Anna thought for a moment, deciding to listen to Bra
“In general,” Brandon hesitated, “Did I do it wrong? I think I misbehaved with her.”“But do you know where's you wrong, Brandon?” Anna asked him.“Perhaps I should speak more softly?” Brandon guessed.“Hmm, I think you probably don’t need to directly say ‘I will repay’ to her!”Anna paused, seemingly feeling inadequate, adding, “You just need to buy her food or help her back, so that’s fine. She will define your actions. You don’t have to define yourself! Girls are smart too!”Then Anna smiled slightly, feeling that Brandon still hadn’t quite grasped the point. “Do you finally know why she’s mad at you?”“Why?” Brandon asked again, still wondering about this.“I guess the girl in the story you told is someone with pretty high self-esteem. So when you say ‘payback’ directly like that, it makes her think you think she’s a gold-digger.”“Gold-digger?” Brandon repeated. He found his daughter’s thoughts difficult to understand.“Yes, that is it.” Anna replied, “So next time be a little mo
“The other day, you asked me if I could be your friend. That’s the question!”“Oh.” Anna nodded. She remembered, so Brandon was referring to that question.Seeing that Anna had remembered, Brandon continued, “I can be your friend.”Really???Anna looked at Brandon in surprise. She didn’t understand why he was doing this.“But I thought you answered that day?!” Anna questioned Brandon again.“No,” Brandon paused for a moment, “That statement of mine meant I was thinking. Now is the actual answer.”Anna narrowed her eyes at Brandon. “But so what? Has anything changed, young master?”Brandon scratched his head, looking seriously at Anna. Although he didn’t look like he was joking, Anna could clearly see Brandon’s ears turning red.He stammered, embarrassed.“I mean, we’re friends now.”Anna nodded and continued to stare at him. She wanted to hear what Brandon would say next.“On the occasion of our becoming friends, I-I think…” Brandon felt Anna’s gaze. He said softly, “I’d like to take
Hearing Jimmy speak, Anna’s eyes widened at him, her hands cupping her cheeks. “R-really?”Jimmy nodded emphatically, then he added a serious look on his face, “Yes, and you’ve got a big smile on your face.”Anna’s cheeks were red. She didn’t expect her smile to be so happy from the outside.“Hmm, you’re dating a handsome guy, aren’t you, Anna?” Seeing Anna shyly, Jimmy started teasing her. Normally, his older sister have a mature appearance, but seeing her different appearance today, he didn’t want to pass up such a wonderful opportunity.“Hurry up and study, you’re too busy!” Anna waved her hand at Jimmy, she pretended to be stern looking at him. But other than feeling lovely, Jimmy has no other words to describe Anna’s current face.“Okay, I’ll go to my room then.” Jimmy turned and left the living room. He also couldn’t play too much. When Anna got angry, it was difficult to calm down. “Remember to rest early, Anna!”…Anna hung her backpack on the hook located next to the desk dra
