On Fire

Chapter 13 Bestowing Favors

I didn’t know how I escaped from Kenneth Quinn’s house. It was already eight o’clock at night when I

came to work. Molly had come too. She still showed a frowny face when she saw me.

I was not in the mood to care about this. After changing my clothes, I sat and dazed at a corner while

thinking of Kenneth in my mind.

He didn’t do anything to me after I pushed him away. He even asked someone to send me a dress to

wear. I was sad because I was reminded of a sad memory that happened to me in the past. The

unbearable memory that a man had raped and impregnated me on that painful night.

Until now, Kenneth was the second person who had kissed me. And the first time was that damned

animal that night. I didn’t love either of them. I even hated them.

When I was studying, I always hoped that I would meet a man who loved me and I loved one day. The

girls gathered around me after they realized that I was depressed. They talked something about Jordon

Chan. They said that he was beaten up and hospitalized. It seemed that he could not discharge from

the hospital without four or five days.

The girls who were bullied last night were very happy after they knew the news. However, I was the

only one who had a lot of worries on my mind. Jordon didn’t seem like a person who could swallow his

anger as he had behaved badly in the past. He might come back to make trouble to the girls.

My child needed money for medical treatment. I could not afford to lose this good-paying job.

What should I do?

I started to think of some precautionary measures. After thinking about it, I could only remind Toby RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Jones about this matter. I was about to meet Mr. Jones before the customers came. Yet, Molly

suddenly came in and looked at me with an arrogant look.

“Barbara, I have a very important customer coming later. I think Lily is suitable to serve this customer.”

I felt uncomfortable after listening to her tone of speaking as if she was bestowing favors on us.

However, I recalled that Lily was unlucky in the past two days so I gave Lily a glance and wanted to

know her intention.
