Chapter 3 Dignity Of Being A Human

Marylin Ye walked up to his desk with nervousness, reached out her hands to put down the design drawings lightly, and said in an official tone, "Mr. Shen, these are the design drawings for the first phase of the Rose Villa.”

"Put it down and leave." Jamie Shen gave a brief command. Marylin didn't leave immediately after hearing the words, instead, she stood still and poked her hands uneasily. "What else?" The man's voice was cold and harsh.

Marylin swallowed, brewing her words, and said, "Mr. Shen, there is something that I, I have to pay the rent today, but I don’t have any money for the time being, can you lend me some for the moment? I will pay you back immediately after I get the salary.”

"You are short of money?” Jamie raised his head when hearing this. staring at her face, and sneered, "Are you really short of money or you want me to fuck you now? Didn't you enjoy yourself enough last night?"

Marylin clenched her hands and took a step back subconsciously. If she knew that he would humiliate her in such an occasion, she would never ask him for help even if she would be driven out by the landlord tonight.

Seeing her face flushed instantly, Jamie softened his eyebrows, looked away deliberately, and said in a hoarse tone, "I have a social party to attend to tonight. Come to me tomorrow night."

Marylin stubbornly did not respond to him. She turned and pushed the door to run out of the office. It was almost evening and that she was going to get off work, Marylin still couldn't borrow enough money for the rent.

Since coming out of Jamie's office in the morning, she had felt that every colleague around her was looking at her strangely. She was restless, uneasy, and uncomfortable. Her heart was tormented inside.

She walked into the noodles shop and ordered one small bowl of noodles. The hot and delicious food was quickly served by the owner. She buried her head into the noodles and started to devour.

Finally. when she fed her starving belly, she tried her cell phone again to connect to the WIFI in the noodles shop. She used the red-envelope money grabbed from friends on WeChat to pay for the food that saved her life.

When she turned to leave the noodles shop, a familiar and low voice called out to her "Marylin, is that you?" Marylin looked around and found out that Cheng Lu, her former classmate, stood behind her.

After saying goodbye to each other, she walked into the alley by herself.

As soon as she stepped on the threshold of the rental house, she heard the landlord's harsh voice, “Miss Ye, you should have the money to pay the rent by now!”

"Mrs. Landlady, this is the case: I worked overtime today, so I had no time to withdraw money from the bank."

The landlord sneered, "In that case, you can go and get it now. If you feel that it will be troublesome, I can accompany you to get it! If you can't, move out tonight!"
