Chapter 278
The problem was, someone like him must have seen a lot of cute people. Was she really so cute when
she was little that he must have that photo?
However, she did not have time to think too much about it because she had to po meet Lisa
Jackson asked his driver to take her there.
She knew from past experiences that protesting was futile. When he had decided on something, there
would not be much room for negotiation.
Serenity got in the car and told the driver her destination.
And so, she arrived half an hour earlier than intended.
Serenity went into a fast food restaurant, found a seat, ordered a drink which cost a dollar, and sent a
text to Lisa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile waiting for her friend, she looked illy at the delivery riders who were dashing in and out of the
restaurant.
Deliveries… Serenity was intrigued. Her driving license had been revoked, but that did not mean she
could not ride an electric scooter. She would also be paid according to how much labor she put in.
Although the base salary was low, she would earn
more if she worked more
If she could pass the interview, despite her criminal record, perhaps being a delivery rider would be a
decent job for her.
After all, at the sanitation office, whenever she had to take time off, Xyla’s workload would increase
significantly. She felt like she was pushing her work onto others.
Besides, her job at the sanitation office had a fixed salary, and she now needed to cover a quarter of
her grandmother’s medical bills, so she really needed extra money..
“What are you thinking about? Lisa’s voice rang in her ears.
Serenity snapped back to her senses and saw that her friend had arrived. “I’m thinking if I should be a
delivery rider,” answered Serenity,
Lisa was surprised. “A delivery rider? That’s a tough job. You have to deal with customer complaints
every day. Women rarely work as delivery riders. Your stamina might not be able to keep up.”
That kind of work was usually done by men.
“But at least I’ll only be responsible for myself,” said Serenity, “I won’t drag anyone else down even if 1
do a bad job. At the sanitation office, if I take time off, it means I’ll increase someone else’s workload.”
“That’s true,” said Lisa. And then, as if she suddenly realized something, she asked, “By the way, how
come you arrived so early? Did you take time off?”
She remembered that Serenity usually got off work at the sanitation office later than she did.
“Yeah, I hurt my hands and had to take a few days off, so I thought I might as well just change jobs,”

Only now did Lisa notice that her friend’s fingers were all wrapped in bandages. What in the world
happened to your hands? she asked anxiously.
Serenity did not keep it a secret from Lisa. She gave Lisa a brief account of what happened last
evening
Lisa listened to her stary with gnashing teeth. I can’t believe your father! Even if he loves Arla more, he
can’t treat you like this! How can he burn the album when he knows how important it is to you?!”
Serenity smiled self–deprecatingly. Yeah, that’s her father, alright.
She had a
meltdown last night, but she had ralined down now. After all, she knew her father no longer had much
love for her
due to her mother.
That was why he did not visit her even once while she was in prison.
