"Even I know that Master Alex still doesn't have a girlfriend."
The other woman chuckled at her words. "Right, you d o know everything, but do you think you qualify? Do you have any idea how high Master Alex's standards are? Do you have a bachelor’s degree or above? Do you know four different languages? Don't think that I don't know about what you have been working on; you are just an escort that accompanies men when they drink! You must be daydreaming to come back here, in hope t o get your hands on Master Alex!"
"Why you...!"
The two women came close to fighting in the restaurant. At the time, Jane was the only one in there, and was wiping the tables and chairs clean with her pregnant belly. Lenny had, indeed, been kind to her. He took her in and helped her mother settle down. On top of that, he did not even touch her at all. H e simply had Jane do chores around the restaurant and promised her a monthly pay of three thousand. Jane was grateful, and had decided to remain by Lenny's side for the rest of her life, obedient to everything he said. 1
Jane walked past the two women and said, "Excuse m e. Please let me through." "No way! Who are you??"
Both women had been furious and frustrated already. They immediately wanted to vent their anger on Jane as soon as they spotted her wiping tables in her pregnant state.
"I'm sorry..." Jane muttered.
"As if that is worth anything! You've tainted my dress! Do you think a janitor like you can compensate me for it??"
"..." Jane did not respond, because she knew she could not compensate for the dress. She could only remain calm and let the woman shout at her as much as she wanted. It did not matter. She could take anything. Knowing that survival was never easy, no matter how severe the circumstances were, as long as no one was dying, they were nothing and could be ignored by Jane.
Jane turned around to leave. If they would not let her through, then she simply should leave.
"Stay right there!" The woman behind her barked at Jane.
