Ella: “That’s why I wanted to rent a house outside. When I rented a house, the agent saw that I was dressed in branded clothes, so he introduced those high-end apartments very eagerly.” At that time, the agent’s fawning gaze and the occasional praise made Ella’s vanity fiercely satisfied. Of course, her skin was pale. She worked at the printing factory every day and set off before the sun came out in the morning. When she worked overtime, she only returned to the dormitory at 11:30 pm. She couldn’t even get the sun, so of course she was pale!
As the agent praised her again and again, Ella really thought of herself as a rich and beautiful woman. She said in a daze, “So, I spent 5,000 dollars a
month to rent a small apartment…” At that time, after the contract was signed, Ella regretted it. However, the agent was so envious and looked at her so eagerly. One had to know that Ella’s salary at that time was only 3,000 dollars a month even if she worked overtime…
Amelia counted with her fingers. “A monthly salary of 3,000 dollars and renting a house for 5,000 dollars. You still need…”
William didn’t know what Amelia was talking about, but he still answered the math question. “Still short of 2,000…”
Amelia was surprised. “You still lack a lot of money! Fat Auntie, where are you going to get this money?
Ella smiled bitterly. “That’s right. Where can I get this money?” She had to pay a deposit as well as three months of rent, which meant that she had to fork out 20,000 dollars at once. She had worked in the printing factory for so long, but she had only saved up 1,000 dollars.
Ella sighed and continued, “I remember that when the intermediary was talking to me about the contract, my palms were sweating.” After the intermediary finished talking about the contract, she had no reason to delay any longer. As she pretended to answer the phone, she borrowed 20,000 dollars from the loan shark. She lowered her head and said, “At that time, the money from the loan shark was the easiest to borrow, but their money was also the hardest to repay. If you don’t return it, they really dare to kill you. But at that time, I couldn’t care less…” After she transferred the money to the intermediary, the intermediary nodded and bowed to her. At that moment, she drew the intermediary and the manager of the luxury shop’s attitude towards her good friend. The uneasiness and fear of borrowing from the loan shark were replaced by vanity at this moment.
“At that time, anyone who could live in an apartment for 5,000 dollars a month was a rich person, an existence that others admired…” Ella said, even though she had eaten instant noodles the night she lived in the apartment.
Amelia asked curiously, “Your friend is so rich. Why didn’t you borrow money from her?”
Ella immediately shook her head. “That won’t do. That friend of mine is friends with me because she thinks that I’m honest and sincere.” She told her good friend that her parents were seriously ill, so she worked overtime diligently. She also said that as long as my parents were well, it didn’t matter how hard I worked. Therefore, it was impossible for her to borrow money from her good friend. Once her good friend found out that she borrowed money to rent an apartment for 5,000 dollars a month, she would definitely be disappointed in her and never be friends with her again. If she didn’t have this good friend, where would she get designer clothes and bags?
Elmer thought of Evelyn and finally understood why the vain ghost would look for Evelyn. Not only was she hypocrite, he was also extremely vain.
Ella continued, “When I live in an apartment that costs 5,000 dollars a month, I can’t go to the printing factory to work. That doesn’t match my status.” It had to be a high-end and respectable job to be worthy of her today. However, she had no education or ability. She couldn’t get such a respectable white-collar job at all.
“At this moment, I saw a career unit hiring temporary workers. They saw that I was kind and sincere, so they recruited me.” After Ella finished speaking,
Elmer was the first to laugh. What kind and sincere? They were all pretending.
Ella said, “This unit is good at everything. It’s decent and doesn’t need to be exposed to the wind and sun. Others will be envious of me working here.” The only bad thing was that her salary was only a thousand dollars. Yes, she was a temporary worker in a career unit. The reason why Ella could apply for a job was because the salary was too low. The candidates were very good. At this moment, Ella had a decent job. She wore branded clothes and carried branded bags every day. Even if she was borrowing more and more from loan sharks, even if she ate two bowls of instant noodles, it didn’t stop her from living to become the envy of everyone. However, soon, this couldn’t satisfy her vanity. She began to unintentionally reveal that she was the daughter of a certain corporation’s chairman. She said that she came to work to experience life. She even unintentionally let people discover a photo of her and her good friend’s father. That’s right, she pretended to be her good friend..
