Andrea Schwartz smiled like a winner while Grace was taunted by colleagues
who had been enthusiastically
welcoming her to the company not that
long ago.
That was what she wanted to see. The
more Grace was embarrassed, the more
relieved she was!
If it had not been for Grace, how could she have gotten herself fired from her previous firm and even struggled to find a job since then?
A male colleague could not take it
anymore and said, Whats wrong with
all of you? Grace never said that she would pay for the meal. Since everyone ate the food, lets go dutch.
The others were embarrassed to say anything when he put it like this.
After all, it was true that Grace had
never said it. Besides, everyone in the
room was working in the same firm. No one dared to say that they would not
pay.
The male colleague calculated how much everyone had to pay and asked the waiter for the bill, but they were told, Someone has already paid for it, so theres no need to pay any more.
What? Everyone in the private room was taken aback.
Someone has already paid for the bill? It was more than 70,000 dollars!
Could there have been some mistake on your part? No one here has paid for it, asked Andrea Schwartz.
There is no mistake. The waiter smiled
and backed out of the private room.
Everyone in the room looked at each
other.
Paid? Who paid for it?
Then, everyones eyes unconsciously focused on Grace. Grace only took her bag shakily and said, Alright Its already been paid, so can I go now
With that, she staggered out of the
private room.
Her head was feeling dizzy, so dizzy that
she could not see the road ahead.
Was it Jason who paid the bill? Only
he would quietly foot a bill of more than
70,000 dollars.
Weve broken up, but unexpectedly, I still
owe him.
Grace smiled wryly. Weve already
broken up. Ive told myself that I can only
rely on myself from now on, but Today, I repeatedly let Jason save me.
She walked step by step. In the end, she
did not even know how she got out of
Drunken Days.
Um She suddenly stooped down and threw up on the side of the road.
She had not eaten much that evening,
so there was nothing left to vomit after a
while.
It hurts so much! She felt dizzy and her stomach was churning. What she could see were the deep night and neon lights.
Am I drunk?
I guess so!

She felt as if she was floating, and her mother and grandmothers faces seemed to appear in front of her.
They were smiling gently at her as if they were telling her to stay strong. Even if
she was alone, she needed to stay strong
and survive.
Ill survive she murmured.
She would make sure her loved ones
could rest in peace.
Therefore, it did not matter even if she
was alone.
It did not matter if she did not have
anyone to depend on.
Ill be there for you from now on.
There seemed to be a voice in her ear.
Who is it? Whos speaking?
Grace, depend on me more. I like you to depend on me. I want you to depend on me until you cant bear to leave me.
