Olly left the money and went back to his room. I looked at the heavy money in my hands, feeling mixed emotions.
The next lunchtime, Olly brought Zoe back home again.
The three of us sat at the same table.
I kept my head down and ate, while Olly didn't say much. It was clear that the girl had a lot to say.
"Senior, I already know about your situation with Mr. Barker. Since you're hired by Mr. Barker, he wouldn't mind if I came over for lunch every day, right?"
Olly's expression was normal, but my face turned terribly awkward. Did Olly really see me as a nanny?
Was I supposed to serve this young girl?
"Olly, you really are something!"
The girl exchanged glances with Olly. Just as Olly was about to speak, I interrupted him.
"You serve yourself!"
I took the fork, washed my own portion, and went back to my room.
I knew this was just the beginning.
I looked bitterly at the only forty thousand dollars I had saved and steeled myself.
After Zoe left, we had our first argument due to discord.
