Chapter 23 You Can Sleep Here At Night These Days
As soon as Veronica Parker was fired from the company, the mature women who were ready to try to seduce the head of the KING group turned white with fear.
Sure enough, gossip was just gossip, and they almost believed it. They almost lost their jobs as Veronica did.
She lost her job again.
However, it was a great joy to be fired if it got you what you want.
Veronica didn't go back but went directly to look for a job. She didn't go back until it was getting dark. She was so tired that she was like a stray dog.
Going home, she pushed open the door, and inside were her little children who were so excited that they squeeze themselves into the door.
Her legs that were about to come inside the house were hugged by Peter--
"Ah! Peter, that's bad!" Veronica fell to the ground with a bang.
The little boy was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that Veronica Parker sat up and was all right, the children rushed to her--
"Mom!"
"Don't stand at the door like that. I almost stepped on you just now." Veronica had a lingering fear.
Isabella came over and said, "They're all looking forward to seeing you again and kept asking why you haven't come back yet."
Veronica touched their little heads and said, "Sorry, Mom is working overtime today."
"Working overtime?" The little children looked at her with a question mark on their faces.
Veronica understood that they didn't know yet what overtime was.
"Overtime is a bad thing! Come to think of it," Peter said, holding up his gun.
"Worse than a brain ax!" Cathy did not let go of the panda cub in her arms, with anger on her tender face.
"Let's beat it!" Pam raised her hand upward.
"We will defeat it." Josh joined in.
"It's a bad thing," Lily added.
"Hmm!" Daniel nodded hard.
Veronica couldn't help laughing and knew that overtime was a bad thing.
When the kids finished eating supplementary food, Veronica asked Isabella, "Isabella, can you sleep here for the following nights?"
"What?"
"I need to work overtime. It'll only take a few days. Can I just add to your overtime pay?" Veronica asked.
"Yes, I have nothing to do when I go home anyway."
"Thank you. Isabella, you may go home now. You may start tomorrow."
"All right."
After Isabella left, Veronica thought that she really had to pick up the trash before she found a job. If she couldn't make ends meet, what should she do for the rest of her life? It didn't matter if she worked hard because she couldn't starve the children!
Peter climbed up her shoulder from behind. "Mom, play hide-and-seek with us!"
Veronica looked at the six cute children with stars in their eyes and she put out her hand to cover her eyes. "On the count of five, you need to hide quickly."
As soon as she said that, the six children immediately ran around, and their short legs ran hard to find a place to hide.
The cute Daniel was hit by Peter, who fell to the ground and rolled out in a circle.
He was stunned for two seconds, but he was ready to continue again in finding a place to hide.
"Four. Five! " As soon as Veronica let go of her hand, she looked at Daniel who was standing there and had nothing to say.
Veronica went out to look for a job during the day. At night, after the children fell asleep, she called Isabella and went out.
Picking up garbage was not decent enough, but in the sight of the crying little children, nothing else mattered.
Veronica was carrying bags and searching for plastic bottles along the road but didn't find many.
The quality of the people in this city was too high. Or should she not pick it up by the boulevard? Sure enough, she was not qualified to pick up garbage without experience.
It was late at night, there were not many cars on the road, and the domineering and fierce Rolls-Royce disturbed the night, giving out a haunting atmosphere.
Nick sat in his seat as Kay reported the company's rise this month. Nick sat by the window, his face, on one hand, his eyes out of the window, and his black eyes deeper than the night.
