Back in Jarold City...

I was in a daze then, as I hadn't decided when to return to the city. To me, as long as Hendrix came back safely, it didn't really matter whether I went back to Jarold City or not. Even if I did, it would just be a quick visit, and then I would return to Asherton again.

I didn't answer Naomi, since I hadn't made a decision yet. After thinking for a moment, I said, "I think I will still be here these few days. It's all right. Let's get together when you are free."

She was in a much better mood. Looking at me, she said, "Don't tell me you're going to let Dahlia off just like that, after what she did?"

I paused for a while before saying with a smile, "I owed that to her. Anyway, I didn't suffer much. I won't contact her in the future, so I'll just let bygones be bygones."

"What do you mean you owed that to her?" Naomi asked, agitated. "You brought her back from Myanway, made sure we got the procedures we needed, and also provided her with such a comfortable living. You even paid for her expensive flight ticket. What do you owe her?

Does she really think she is alive just because she was blessed by God?!"

I smiled and said, "It's nothing so dramatic. I still have to thank Sebastian for his help."

She paused for a moment before raising her eyes to look at me. Frowning, she said, "Don't tell me you take the blame for all this?"

I paused for a moment and said, "All of this happened because of me. It's my fault."

"F*ck!" She was on the verge of collapsing. "Nasty people will be nasty regardless. Even if you didn't provoke them, they would still be terrible. It's not your fault at all."

"Finally home!" Tina and Rainie came over then, as Tina hugged us and said, "My parents will come to pick me up later. I'll go home, enjoy a good meal, take a good bath, and sleep. I'll come to look for you guys after. Is that okay?"

Rainie looked at her with a smile, "Alright. I have to go home and take a good nap too!"

After saying goodbye to them, Naomi said the same thing to me, and went home to rest.

It was only Dahlia and me left. She looked at me as she narrowed her eyes. "Why? Are you planning to take your revenge on me?"

I raised my eyebrows, "What am I taking revenge for?"

"You know what for!"

I chuckled. "Get revenge on you for throwing my documents? Or get revenge on you for your stupidity?"

"You!"

I immediately interrupted her, "We watched the security footage in the store. The reason why I did not say anything out loud was because I didn't want to embarrass you. Learn to be a good person. As someone who's devout, you should learn to be good-hearted. Don't do mean things behind peoples' backs. It makes you look really bad!"

Indeed, every human being was different.

Everyone went home separately after stepping out of the airport. Sebastian looked at me with raised eyebrows, "Where are you planning to live?"

I looked at him and felt a little embarrassed. Before I went to Myanway, I had lost almost all of my belongings, including my wallet and cell phone. All of them were gone.

I didn't have anything when I came to Asherton, so it would be difficult for me to live here now.

"Mr. Milton, are there any job openings at your company?" I had to work and earn some money first, no matter what!

He looked at me with a smile, "Yes, I'm short of an executive assistant. Food and accommodations will be provided, but you will need to be on-call 24 hours a day."

I froze for a moment before asking, "What's the monthly salary?"

"Five thousand dollars!"

I...

Five thousand dollars with food and accommodations provided. This was definitely a considerable salary in a city like Asherton.

After thinking for a moment, I nodded and said, "Mr. Milton, can I start work today?"

Having just arrived here, I really did not have a place to go.

He nodded and led me to a black Maybach, and he drove us straight to a seaside villa.
