I wiped away my tears and ran out.
Samuel chased after me as soon as I ran away.
He grabbed my sleeve and said, "Ariana, why are you leaving?"
I thought he would persuade me to go back, but he said as soon as he opened his mouth, "If you leave, what should Mom and I have for dinner tonight?"
I couldn't believe it, he caught up with me just because he was afraid that he and his mom would go hungry tonight.
In his eyes, I have been nothing more than a nanny all these years.
I took a deep breath and shouted, "Get lost!"
Perhaps startled by me, Samuel didn't catch up with me.
I immediately stopped a car and left.
Then I went straight to the hotel with Houson.
The hotel had a nice environment, and I gave Houson a nice bath.
Maybe all children like water. When Houson touched water, he laughed at me.
After taking a bath, I slept soundly under the moonlight.
I have forgotten when was the last time I slept so well.
When I am at home, I have to get up early to make breakfast for Samuel and Missi. Sometimes Missi even complains that the food is not delicious.
After making breakfast, I have to do the laundry and housework, and then feed Houson. In short, I am busy all day long.
The hotel room rate includes breakfast, which has a variety of desserts, porridge, and eggs. I tasted a little bit of everything.
After breakfast, I checked the balance in my phone and found myself in a difficult situation again.
There are two paths in front of me.
One is to continue to go back to that family and work as a nanny, and the other is to go out to work.
I found my best friend Belle with Houson in my arm and told her about the situation that I plan to go out to find a job.
Belle is the heir to a wealthy family who is unmarried and childless, and has both cats and dogs.
When I was going to marry Samuel, Belle advised me, and now it has come true.
Belle knew about my difficult situation: "It's not a big deal for you to stay in a hotel, just stay at my place."
Because she is my best friend, I didn't stand on ceremony with her.
After handing Houson over to Belle, I went to the largest talent market in this city.
They asked about my work experience, and I felt a bit embarrassed because Samuel, whom I knew in college, got married and had a child after graduation, and I had no work experience at all.
Without exception, I didn't get any job opportunities.
So, I could only go back with my head down.
After staying at Belle's house for a few days, Samuel finally couldn't hold back his emotions.
He called me several times for several days: "When are you coming back?"
I thought he knew he was wrong, but what he said once again refreshed my understanding of him: "Do you know that during the days you were not here, my mom and I ate out every day? You should feel sorry for me and my money, right?"
"I work hard to earn money, I can't spend it here. You better come back and cook for us."
I held back from cursing him, which was my last bit of manners.
It turns out that without me, the two of them are helpless.
Since it's like this, I can't go back anymore. I hung up the phone immediately.
I stayed at Belle's house for several days, and Houson also adapted to the environment here.
She lives in a big villa alone, and she has a nanny to cook for her and someone to clean the house.
We were enjoying ourselves here.
Friends helping you is a matter of friendship, not obligation. I still have to go out and work.
With the experience from last time, I no longer focus on comfortable jobs, but do whatever needs to be done, whether it's dirty or tiring.
It's a coincidence that I saw a job with a monthly salary of 1,000 dollars being recruited.
I calculated that 1,000 is just enough for my current life.
I called over there, but the person on the other end of the phone seems dissatisfied with me: "We don't hire female workers."
Upon hearing this, I felt like I was rained on the parade.
But I knew that if I give up like this, it's very likely that my life will be like this.
I gritted my teeth and said, "I can endure hardships, I'm not afraid of hard work."
There was a moment of hesitation on the other end of the phone, and my heart was also in my mouth. After a long time, they said, "Okay, come and have a look tomorrow."
I immediately agreed happily.
That night, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because I was about to have a job.
I told myself: Ariana Lumix, you can do it.
