Relationship

"Relationship? What relationship? Nothing! She was your grandmother, so she has nothing to do with me!"

"I knew you must have done something bad to my grandmother!"

"Oh my, how sharp he is!" I thought.

"I didn't do anything to your grandmother! If I did something bad, there's no way your grandmother would be nice to me, right?"

"Ugh... it's so unlucky that my grandmother has to deal with someone like you too! Just watch, sooner or later I'll figure out what I want to do!"

"I don't understand why you always think badly of other people. Is that all you can do?"

"Hey, you think the guy who almost burned this place down still deserves to be considered good. Listen, this is your last chance! If you mess up too, you'll definitely suffer the consequences!"

"What do you actually want to say to me? Why are you angry at me when I didn't do anything?"

"Tsk, actually I didn't want to tell you this. But grandma forced me to take you to her house tomorrow night!"

"What? But, why?"

"He invited you to dinner! Agh... damn! Hey, you have my grandmother's phone number, right? You better call her now and tell her that you can't come to her house tomorrow!"

"Why should I do that? Who says I can't come? I can, I definitely can! If it's dinner, who would say no? Ahahaha..."  I laughed with satisfaction like a witch. What kind of nonsense did he say that I had to refuse his grandmother's invitation.

Dinner at home must be very luxurious. How could I reject God's blessing? Imagining that tomorrow I will eat delicious food makes my energy, which was decreasing some time ago, now increase drastically.

"I don't want you to come to see my grandmother again! I don't want to know, you have to call my grandmother and tell her you're busy!"

"Why are you forcing me like that? Anyway, I don't want to! I would still come even if you didn't bring me. I'll go alone!" I said as I walked away. But Jacob immediately grabbed my hand.

"You really are ungrateful, aren't you? Didn't you say last night that you would do anything if I lent you money? Don't you remember what you said? Don't tell me you pretended to forget!" Jacob used his power to make me listen to what he said.

Hearing his bluff, I immediately fell silent. To think he would use such a cunning method to silence me.

"Damn Jacob! I really want to have dinner at your grandmother's house, what's wrong? You cheapskate!" My mind was struggling. I really wasn't willing to give up the opportunity to have a luxurious dinner for free.

Jacob smiled slyly, he moved his face closer to my ear and whispered something.

"If you don't do what I say, I will force you to pay the debt right now!"

"Damn Jacob...! Damn...! You damn rat...!" I shouted in annoyance. I feel like my anger is unbearable anymore. How dare he threaten in such a way.

This is the result of being too indebted and dependent on other people. What's more, for someone like him, it's impossible for him to want to help me without expecting anything in return from me.

"But what does he expect from me? I don't have anything! He also never asks me anything strange. Tch, if he asked me to sleep with him, I wouldn't want to do it! You bastard, I'm sure even in bed he would be very selfish and only cares about himself. How can a man like him possibly satisfy a woman!" I kept cursing in annoyance in my room every time I remembered what that idiot Jacob said to me.

However, even though my mouth insulted and cursed him. It feels like your mind has a different opinion. Honestly and I have to admit it, he really is the real definition of a man who is visually perfect.

Tall, I think he's around 190 cm, stocky and athletic, his broad shoulders and broad chest make any woman want to lean into his arms. Her dark brown hair looked healthy and shiny, and her skin too. Not to mention his charming hazel eyes, oh my gosh, I think God was in a very good mood when he created him. Seriously, he's really handsome. I've never seen a man as handsome as him.

"Damn, why am I even praising him? No no, no matter how handsome he is, if his personality is bad like that, then his handsome face will be of no use. He won't be accepted in social life."

But, is his personality really that bad? I'm a little confused, now that I think about it, at first he was quite nice to me because he let me live in this apartment. If it wasn't for him at that time, maybe I would have ended up a big city bum by now. Even when I returned to my hometown, I felt too embarrassed.

"No! After thinking about it, he's the arrogant one. He should be gentler with me! He doesn't have to always be angry like that, right?"

I'm in a dilemma, I don't think I really want to refuse Grandma Maria's invitation. He's been very kind to me, besides how could I refuse a free mall meal? I'd better save my dinner budget to buy cigarettes.

"Agh... I haven't smoked for a long time! My mouth feels bad. Should I buy cigarettes first?"

I, who was originally lying on the bed, immediately got up after imagining a pack of cigarettes that I really wanted to smoke. I think two sticks for tonight are enough.

I replaced my tight shirt and skirt with a hoodie and gray sweatpants. Taking my wallet and cellphone, I continued to go out. I hope I don't run into Jacob again in the living room or he'll force me to call his grandmother.

I was sneaking around like a thief in an empty house and I could see Jacob cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"Good, I have to get out now!" With a thousand steps, I immediately rushed out in a hurry.

After getting into the elevator, I feel very relieved now. It felt like there was nothing else I needed to think about, I had 1980 Dollars and I had a pretty cool job. Apart from that, I also live in a pretty nice apartment.

"Hihihi... if I show off my current life to the people in my hometown, they will definitely feel jealous!" I thought while sulking in the elevator, making the three other people who were also in the elevator look at me confused.

The elevator doors opened and when I stood in front of this apartment building, I felt like I was looking at heaven on earth. That's right, a very pleasant heaven on earth is waiting for me up ahead.

"New York, here I come...!" I shouted like a child who was just getting to know the world.

I thought about going to the supermarket where I work for  less than 10 days. I want to know how the old manager who fired me is now. It's only been three days, but I really want to see what that coward looks like.
