Every time Rose rejected her mom, her mom would say something crazy. She could do nothing about it.
"Mom, you know I'm not gonna leave you alone. I just don't have that kind of money." Rose was really in a dilemma. She had not found her job yet, and she lost her part-time job.
Besides, she didn't want to work in a club for money anymore.
"Rose, I'm really desperate. Your father died young, leaving the three of us behind. And I have to pay for your brother's tuition..."
"Mom, 50,000 bucks is too much. I only have a few thousand bucks, and I haven't found a job yet. I..."
"Rose, I'm sure you can make it. You're pretty and there're a lot of chances in your city. All companies are gonna want you.
"Do you remember when you were little and you had a fever? I carried you to the hospital at 1:00 a.m. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead."
"Mom, I know, I know. I'll see what I can do, but I can't guarantee I'll get the money."
"Okay, okay, go make money! Can you get it in half a month? The doctor advised me to operate as soon as possible."
"Mom, I'm not sure. I'll try to get as many part-time jobs as I can these days."
"Remember, it's urgent."
"I see. I have to go."
Rose hang up the phone with a heavy heart. How was she gonna make 50,000 bucks in half a month?
All of a sudden, she thought of Talia, someone she met in the nightclub. Talia was very capable, and she might be able to help her figure out a way.
The phone rang three times before Talia answered it.
"Rose, do you know what time it is? If you were anyone else, I would kick your ass!"
Rose knew that Talia was quite direct. She smiled helplessly. "I'm sorry, Talia. I have something urgent."
"Go ahead."
Talia liked Rose, who was simple and smart. She took care of Rose like a sister.
"Talia, my mother is sick, and I need 50,000 bucks. Could you recommend some part-time jobs that pay better?
"I don't want to work in bars or clubs. You know I'm not good at dealing with men."
"You are such a filial girl. If I had your face, I would be some rich guy's mistress.
"I wouldn't have to worry about money or work. Even 5 million would mean nothing to me, let alone 50 grand."
Talia loved joking, and Rose was already used to it. Anyway, she knew that Talia didn't mean any harm.
"Come on, you know I won't do that."
"That's why I like you. You know what? I'm gonna do everything I can to keep you as pure as lily. Even if you wanted to be a wh*re, I wouldn't let you."
"Why do I feel like you're mocking me?" Rose asked.
Talia chuckled. "Well, let's be serious. I wonder if you have a good memory."
