Chapter 81
Why are you quitting again when you're doing such a good job?" Lana was hoping to befriend Willow to get in Jasper's good graces. "I'm busy tomorrow. Thanks, Ms. Lana," Willow came up with an objective reason.
Lana knew that Jasper had sexually harassed her before yesterday, but she still tried to send Willow to Jasper today as an escort. Although Lana didn't say it out loud, Willow could already guess.noveldrama
She knew that she couldn't confront Lana about this, or Lana would start using her as a product to please men.
Maitre d's of such places only cared about profits, not friendship.
"Alright then. You can contact me if you ever feel like coming back." Lana didn't try to push her.
She couldn't treat Willow like a subordinate now that Jasper was blatantly fond of her.
Willow and Rachel left Cloud Realm after getting their wages.
The city breeze late at night was quite chilling. It felt prickly on their cheeks.
Willow pulled her coat closer and took out her phone, ready to call for an Uber.
Rachel said, "I drove today. I'll send you back before going home."
"It's out of your way. You should go home and rest. You must be exhausted too." Willow didn't want to waste her time and felt bad for her too because Rachel was her best friend. Rachel would lose an hour and a half's worth of sleep if she sent her home.
"Wills, you're concerned about me, but I'm the same. What if you run into bad people while taking a cab home this late at night? Let me send you home. I can be at ease this way." Rachel took Willow's phone away and prevented the latter from calling an Uber. Late autumn nights were chilly. Willow rubbed her cold hands together and agreed, "Alright."
Inside the car, the colorful neon lights of the bustling city shone through the windows. It may be late, but there were still people on the streets.
Nightlife in the city was truly a life of debauchery.
Willow sat in the passenger seat while Rachel drove. She was looking at the road while she chatted with Willow. "That's ten thousand dollars. Are you just going to give it to me?"

"How am I giving it to you? You earned it. Real friends don't owe each other. This is the way it should be," Willow said.
It was true that Rachel sold that bottle of wine herself. Although she spilled half of it, Wyatt still paid for it, so the commission was rightfully Rachel's.
"But I wouldn't have sold it if it weren't for you. I would've gotten in trouble too," Rachel cast her a glance as she explained.
"You're overthinking. Wyatt would
still order the wine even if I wasn't there. Also, you didn't spill the wine on purpose. The other guys didn't say anything either," Willow said.

"No. I'll transfer the ten thousand back to you later." Rachel insisted that she shouldn't have the money.
Willow held her forehead. "Rachel, you're being too obvious with your donation. Are you trying to make my mother scold me for being useless?" Willow had principles. She only took what belonged to her and refused what didn't.
Her friend's money wasn't hers, so she couldn't accept Rachel's donation.
She wasn't disabled. She could earn her family's living expenses herself.
"Pfft..." Rachel snorted a laugh. "Fine, I won't transfer it to you. Our Willow is amazing, so how could you be useless?"
"Yeah! I'm gonna become a great designer." Willow chuckled happily.
Willow slept until the sun was high in the sky. She had only gone to bed at four in the morning.
She opened her eyes to check her phone and saw that it was already twelve in the afternoon.
Her groggy mind instantly cleared when she saw five missed calls on the screen. They were all from Hughes Corporation's janitorial department supervisor, Sean. Willow got up immediately!
She had just skipped half a day of work. Did anyone else clean the executives' offices? Would Jasper throw a fit if he found out that the tea cups hadn't been cleaned?
