“Sports
“Oh, I don’t care how much others pay you. I’ll offer you benefits if you come here.”
Anna tugged on Peace’s arm without letting go, as though she was determined to hire her. She then
suggested, “How about I buy
you tacos for the next five years?”
Peace rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, my goodness! Even if you buy me tacos for the next decade, the
money won’t be enough to pay
me to design a dress. You’re blackmailing me!”
“That’s because I’m poor! I saw Lemon’s office the other day, and the building is just a small factory
building. The management
system of the company is awful, and the accountant doesn’t know anything. No designer would work in
a company like that! And, they
won’t come even if I pay them! So, only you can help me.”
Peace said, “What? Are you telling me that you don’t have any money? Show me your bank balance,
Anna. I don’t think I have even
a tenth of what you have.”
Anna let go of her hand and said, “Are you going to help me or not? If you won’t do it, i’ll find someone
else.”
Peace bristled and replied, “Yes! I will definitely help you, Anna. Even if you don’t pay me or buy me
tacos, i’ll still help you. I’m tired
of designing high-fashion clothes all the time, and I just want to design a little bit of everyday clothing.”
Anna laughed out loud at that, held up two fingers, and said, “After the company goes public, I’ll give
you twenty percent of the
shares.”
Hearing that, Peace said with a hint of sarcasm, “Wow! Hope I won’t regret it.”
In fact, Peace didn’t think much of Anna’s request at first. She had her own studio and also did some
outsourcing works for other
clothing companies. And, she was not actually busy working. So, when her best friend wanted to start a
business and she could be
helpful, she would not hesitate to help.
Peace followed Anna to Lemon’s office building early the next morning.
They went through two alleyways to get there. Located in the heart of the city, this three-story structure
was tucked away among the
many other high-rises. Also, it was in a ideal place that was surrounded by the city’s bustling shopping
districts.
The one who showed them around was a handsome young man in his early thirties.
Anna said, “Peace, this is Kevin, the person in charge of Lemon before. Kevin, I’d want to introduce
you to my friend Peace Brooks,
and she will be the chiel designer.”
“Hello, Ms. Brooks.”
“Oh, hello. You can call me Peace.”
After they made
all talks, Anna asked Kevin to leave. She then took Peace for a walk around this office building.
Afterwards, she
asked, “Well, what do you think?”
**Do you want to hear the truth?”
Of course.
As a pie y desperate nonchalantly pointed out everything that she thought was inappropriate about the
office. “This place
Colahy Surks think that maybe it was never renovated when your mother left here last century. It’s not
only obsolete, but even looked a
billike spill You d better redecorate the place, Anna Make it a little rougher and edgier.”

and ad, “Also, fue allihe einployees here because none of them are working at all. I just saw people
cutting their
Faris and playing at
Instead of taking the true and elforts to train them, why don’t we get a new group of employees? The
new
employee don’know what this place uved to be like, so they won‘t dare to slack off.”
“Okay.” Anna took notes in her notebook as she listened to Peace.
When Peace saw her doing this, she asked suspiciously, “Hey, I’m your designer, not your boss! Why
should I care so much about your studio?”
Anna immediately laughed, took Peace’s arm and said intimately, “Look, since you can point out these
mistakes, why don’t you tell
me more about the place?”
Peace still felt like she had been blackmailed by Anna.
On Friday, the results of Frank’s medical exam came out. After that, the doctor informed Frank that he
was free to leave the
hospital.
Shirley and Allie acted thoughtfully. They came to the hospital with a group of relatives to visit him and
pick him up.
“Frank, you know, my sister has been really worried about you lately!” Shirley’s sister said.
“Yes, and she’s been crying for you.”
“Thank God you’re okay! I haven’t seen Shirley in a long time. Every time I call her, she says she’s in
the hospital.” Shirley’s cousin
said.
Looking at the people in the hospital room as if they were family, Anna frowned and felt like an outsider.
She stood in the doorway
for a moment before hesitating and then turning to leave.
“You’re leaving?” A woman asked Anna.
Anna froze. She looked up and saw a woman in a gray dress standing in front of her. It was Selina.
“What are you doing here?” Anna asked.
Selina looked at the bustling ward and said calmly, “I’m here for my medicine. Anna, since you are
here, why don’t you go in? Are you
afraid because there are so many relatives of hers?”
Anna was still in a daze when Selina took her wrist.
Selina held her hand tightly. Then she opened the door of the room and led Anna walk past the crowd
that had been blocking the
doorway
“Frank, what are you doing? Why don’t you ask your daughter come in and take a seat? But, you let a
bunch of poor relatives from
God knows where to keep you company.”
Everyone in the ward changed their expressions and stopped talking.
Allie said irritably, “Anna, what are you doing? Who is this woman? if you let her scare Father, I…”
“It’s not your turn to talk.” Selina glanced at Allie with contempt.
“Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that! You’re such a shrew! I’m telling you…”
Before Allie could finish her sentence, she heard a crisp sound. Then, she realized that Selina had just
slapped her on the face.
This was the second time this month she had been slapped. So, Allie was extremely shocked and
didn’t came to her senses for a
while,
“Selina Miller, why did you hit my daughter?!”
Shirley immediately stood in front of her daughter, and was afraid that Selina would do it again.
Selina sneered and said, “Oh, so you still remember what my name is. Well, I guess that you must
have remembered the night of
I wenty five years ago! Do you remember how I made you kneel in front of Olivia’s grave for the whole
night and slapped you for more
than two hundred time57″
The moment they heard this, almost everyone in the ward gasped in surprise.
More than two hundred slaps? That must have ruined her face! Anna thought to hersell.
It was the first time Anma had heard about this, so she looked at Shirleyin disbeliel. Shirley had an
embarrassed expression and
looked ashamed. She couldn’t say anything, but just writted her teeth and looked to the side.
Frank was sitting on the edge of the bed. He was no longer wearing a hospital gown, but a shirt and
beige pants. When he saw Anna
and Selina, he had an embarassed expression on his pale face.
“Selina, it’s been so long, why do you have to…”
Selina said even more aloofly, “Oh no, you’re not qualified to call me by my name. Maybe you can just
call me Ms. Miller. Anyway, I came here today just to ask you a question. Are you really going home
with them? Don’t you have anything to say to Anna?”
Frank frowned and said, “I already thanked Anna.”
Selina snickered and asked, “Thanked her? Anna took care of you in the hospital for a month, and she
didn’t even have time to come home. Do you think your ‘thank you’ is enough? You really are a shrewd
businessman, and you always want make a profit. If you want to leave the hospital, aren’t you going to
ask about your daughter’s opinion?”
Hearing her words, Allie asked irritably, “What? What are you trying to say? Do you want my father to
give her money? I get it, you just want money. Stop pretending to be noble!”
“Shut your filthy mouth!” Selina glanced at Allie. Her gaze made Shirley feel frightened, so she
immediately told her daughter to shut up.
After a while, Frank took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Miller, you’d better stay out of our business.”
