Chapter 761 Staying for a Few Days
She frowned and chuckled, "I think you're right."
"But I won’t go back to the Dempsey's. How about... Do you have some other place for me to stay for a
few days?"
"Some other place?"
Sarah paused and quickly replied, "Yes, but it's the staff dormitory of our company. It's kinda shabby. I
don't think you'll fit in there..."
"...I will."
Queeny interrupted Sarah before she could finish her sentence.
Seeing this, Sarah frowned and didn't want to take her there.
After all, it was a dormitory...
Queeny could tell that Sarah was hesitant. She smiled and said, "I won't stay forever. Two days top."
Sarah then nodded, "Fine."
They then walked away together.
Inside the black Rolls-Royce, he watched them leave. Sullen, his eyes darkened.
The dorm Sarah stayed in was indeed not very comfy.
She thought that Queeny would not like this place, but Queeny just went straight in.
After graduating from high school, Sarah started to work. She was now waitressing in a nightclub and
was working on night shifts starting at 6.
Her company arranged an apartment with three bedrooms and one living room for her. She lived with
another two girls. It was quite spacious, but the facilities were a bit old because it was in an old
community.
There was a giant garbage dump nearby. People piled their belongings out there because their rooms
were overcrowded.
They could see how messy it was as soon as they entered the apartment.
A little embarrassed, she tried to clean up the room and ask Queeny to sit back and relax.
Queeny sat down naturally.
Sarah put some dirty laundry into the washing machine and said, "They must be hanging out
somewhere. You could take a shower and wear some of my clothes. I'll introduce them to you when
they come back."
Queeny nodded.
Soon, Sarah tidied up the place, gave Queeny some brand new clothes, and asked her to shower.
Queeny took them and went into the bathroom. She had a long shower and came out half an hour later.
A plain dress made her skin look fair. She was charming in a more sophisticated way, compared with
Sarah who looked younger and innocent.
Sarah looked at her in a daze.
After a while, she forced a smile.
"That dress is so not your style, but it's OK... I don't have to work tomorrow. Let's go shopping for
something that would fit you perfectly in the mall."
Queeny found it hard to reject her kind offer, so she said yes.
Queeny said with a smile, "Okay, thanks."
After Queeny took a shower, Sarah went to buy some groceries and came back to cook.
She cooked herself now. Back in the days before she was born, her father had high hopes for her.
But after she was born, her father was disappointed because she was a girl.
Since then, he often went out to the bar and rarely came home to spend time with his daughter.
However, no matter how much he disliked her, she was his blood, after all. He had been shutting her
out, but he had never thought of getting rid of her.
Sarah's mother, Meredith, was too aged to get pregnant again. So it had been Patrick's forever regret
that he didn't have a son.
A few years later, Meredith passed away.
Since then, Sarah had been living a hard life.
She didn’t get good grades at school so she never entered college after high school.
That was why she ended up being a waitress in a club.
She didn’t earn much as a waitress, and she refused to be a hooker for the money. Plus, she had to
give her stepfather money from time to time, so she could barely make ends meet.
She couldn't afford to order take-out or eat out.
So she cooked for herself at home to save some money.
Sarah felt a bit embarrassed before she went to the grocery store.
She said, "I'm really sorry. I’m a little shy at the moment, so I’m afraid we have to eat at home now. I'll
take you out for a big meal when I get paid this month."
Queeny saw Sarah's thin purse, which barely had any cash in it.
She knew Sarah was having a hard time, so she didn't say anything and just smiled.
"It doesn't matter. Our reunion is what matters most; I don't care what we eat."
Sarah felt a bit relaxed upon hearing that.
However, Sarah still bought quite a lot of pricey ingredients, such as fish, shrimp, and chicken, even
though she was financially challenged.
After returning to the apartment, Sarah didn’t ask Queeny to help went straight to the kitchen.
Queeny hadn't cooked for a long time because of four years of jail. She didn't even know how to help,
so she could only sit there and let Sarah run the kitchen.
She quietly observed everything as she listened to Sarah cooking and talking about her life over the
years. Then Queeny got lost in thoughts.
She recognized the car they saw today.
The owner was a man of nostalgia.
He would drive the same car for years.
Even if the car was broken, he would keep the license plate for another car.
She would never mistake him for someone else. She was sure he was the owner of the black Rolls-
Royce parked there today.
She just wondered what he was doing there.
Had a bone to pick with her?
Or was he going to laugh at her, mock her, and tease her?
Queeny thought silently, her long eyes narrowing.
Just by then, she heard people walking over, talking and laughing.
She looked up only to find that the door was opened. Two well-dressed tall girls were standing at the
door.
"Oh Sarah, you have a guest today?"
They were Sarah's roommates and coworkers.
Sarah quickly dropped the vegetables in her hand. "Hey, let me introduce myself. This is my sister
Queeny. Queeny, they are my roommates. This is Phylis, and this is Mindy.
Phylis was a tall and slender girl with arched brows and slanted eyes.
She seemed to be an outgoing person.
Mindy, on the other hand, seemed to be more reserved. She withdrew her smile as soon as she saw a
stranger in the apartment.
Her hair was short and she looked decisive.
Queeny stood up.
She greeted them gracefully.
"Hello, I’m Queeny, Sarah’s half-sister."
They had heard of Queeny before.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
