Although Minerva was lazy, she still had to support her family.
Vera also relied on her to make a living. In addition, she wanted to create better living conditions for Beanie, so she still needed to work very hard. She would only take a break when she had no pressure.
Hence, she accepted the job.
"And then?" Minerva asked softly.
"Then, I waited for her to finish filming. When she was done and I was going to take the measurements for her, guess what she said? She actually said that she was tired and wanted to rest, so she left me aside."
Minerva didn't know what to say.
Vera complained, "There's still more. So, I waited for her to rest for ten minutes. Then when I took the measurements for her, she said that I hurt her! She also claimed that I was not professional, and now she won't let me get close to her anymore."
Minerva reached out and pinched the space between her eyebrows. "So?"
"She asked you to come over here in person and said that since you're the one who agreed to take the job, you should take the measurements for her. Who does she think she is? So what if she is famous? I was just a minute late, just one minute only! I have apologized to her for a long time and said a lot of nice things, but she... totally ignored me. I'm so angry now. Let me tell you, I'm now officially her hater. She even wants you to come in person. Is she out of her mind? Is she even qualified to ask for this?"
Minerva opened her mouth and said faintly, "But aren't you calling me to ask me to come over and take the measurements for her in person?"
"D*mn it, I didn't mean it like that, but I'm just really angry. There is no one here to listen to my ranting. You better not come! I'm not going to compromise today."
Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. She said in a soft voice, "You're indirectly asking me to be there now."
"Minerva!"
"Alright, send me the address to my mobile phone, and I will come find you after sending Beanie home."
"Well, I'll send the address to your mobile phone right now. Minerva, please come and save me. I'm really going crazy soon."
Vera, who had just said that she was not planning to give in had now immediately changed her attitude.
Minerva was speechless at this.
After hanging up the phone, Minerva put the phone away. Just as she was about to bow her head and explain to Beanie, he took the initiative to say, "Is Auntie Vera in trouble? Mommy, go help her. I can be alone at home." Although Beanie was young, he was unusually sensible. Perhaps it was because he grew up in a single-parent family. Even though Beanie was very understanding, it made Minerva's heart ache for him even more.
She reached out and touched Beanie's head. "Good boy. I will help Auntie Vera then. After that, I'll take her home and cook you fish and chips later."
Upon hearing fish and chips, Beanie's eyes immediately widened. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Great!"
The driver was very happy too after getting the extra pay. After sending them to the residential area, he helped to move everything to the entrance and did not enter the house out of politeness. Since Minerva still had to go to Vera, she asked him to wait for another five minutes.
The driver readily agreed and got out of the elevator.
Later, Minerva spent some time carrying all the stuff into the house with Beanie and put them into the refrigerator. When she finished tidying up, she said, "Then, I will leave first. I should be able to come back in the afternoon. If you're hungry, get yourself some bread first, okay?"
Beanie nodded and replied, "Okay, don't worry."
When she was about to leave home, she suddenly changed her mind, "Beanie, why don't... why don't you go out with me? When the matter is settled, Auntie Vera and I will bring you out for dinner instead."
"There's no need to do so. It's a little troublesome to bring me along. Go help Auntie Vera. I can take care of lunch on my own!"
After saying that, Beanie went up to Minerva and kissed her on the cheek. Then he waved at her, signaling her to come back soon.
