Chapter 107 Meanwhile, Tina spent the entire night in the basement The entire night, she couldn’t sleep. Her mind was occupied with many thoughts.. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her colleague. “Tina, why aren’t you coming in for work today?” That reminded Tina. It was already the next day, and she had been trapped in the basement for the entire night. “I’ll be right there!” She hung up the phone and rushed out of the basement, only to stop when a sudden rush of dizziness struck her. “Blaargh!” Tina started vomiting again. She realized that she might have fallen sick after spending the whole night in a cold and uncomfortable basement.
However, she had just started her new job. She shouldn’t afford to be late often. Plus, her salary for this job was much higher than what she got during the time she worked as a dishwasher. While Tina didn’t mind losing this job, she didn’t want to disappoint John, who had helped her so much. Tina took a deep breath and headed to work. After successfully exiting the basement, she asked for directions from some of the workers and was finally able to leave the mansion. No matter how much she tried to rush, to the point she even skipped breakfast, she still couldn’t make it to work on time.
Her boss was dissatisfied and complained about it. “Ms. Lynd. I know Mr. Carter referred you, but this is unacceptable…”
Tina, guilty, could do nothing but apologize over and over. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing how genuine Tina was, her boss decided to let her off the hook this once.
“Just be mindful of this.”
“Thank you so much!” Tina left the room quickly. However, she felt her stomach rumbling again and ended up vomiting a second round in the toilet.
Her colleagues were worried. “Are you okay, Tina? Do you need some help?”
“I’m fine… I’m just feeling under the weather. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have breakfast earlier,” Tina explained.
“I have some bread. You can have it! Still, you should take better care of your body.”
“Alright, thanks.” Tina replied gratefully. But Tina had lost all her appetite, and threw the bread away after two small bites.
“That’s all you’re going to eat?” There wasn’t anything Tina could do about her appetite. She said dejectedly, “It’s fine, I’ll eat again during lunch. Should we get spaghetti?” “Oh? I thought you hated spaghetti?” “I don’t know, but I’m craving it now.” Suddenly, they heard someone shouting from the lobby. “Mr. Jackson!” That stunned Tina. ‘Mr. Jackson?’ As she predicted, she spotted Mr. Jackson walking in with a woman by his side. Only rich businessmen would visit this art gallery. As a receptionist , she should be greeting them. Still, she really didn’t feel like talking to him!
