Brad inherited her genes. They were both good at acting.
He threw aside the newspaper and said in a deep voice, "Come here!"
In the company.
Eileen had adapted to the new work. She planned to earn enough money for chemotherapy and hospitalization.
In the evening, the manager, Jayla Sampson, told the staff to go to the bar together after work.
Eileen declined, "Ms. Sampson, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back home early." She had something wrong with one of her legs, so the bar wasn't suitable for her. People would make fun of her.
Jayla shook her head. "Everyone else will attend. Why can't you?"
Eileen wanted to refuse, but Jayla had already left.
Resignedly, she intended to go through the motions quickly and leave the bar.
After all, she had just joined the company. She needed to get used to it.
Besides, Jayla was good to her. She had to g o as a favor to Jayla.
At the end of the day, everyone in the office cheered.
Eileen was calm.
Some of them had cars, so they drove their colleagues to the bar.
This was the second time Eileen had come t o the bar in her life.
Merlin once dragged her to the bar and drank a lot after being rejected by Kingsley.
Perhaps because of her character, she felt the music was noisy and her head was in buzz. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Jayla booked a private room.
Eileen sat down.
Suddenly, thunderous applause rang out, accompanied by the birthday song.
She was stunned, standing still.
She was in a daze for a long while.
"You've even forgotten your birthday?"
Jayla smiled. "If not for you, we couldn't have finished the project on time. We're here to celebrate your birthday and thank you!"
She couldn’t help showing concern and admiration for this strong woman.
