Chapter 10 Cold Hard Cash Is More Reliable Than Anything

Sophia was hospitalized for two days. Even though the doctor asked her to stay for two more days, but when she looked at the bill, she immediately discharged herself even though she was suffering from a fever. The pay in Dream Club was not too bad. However, after subtracting her basic expenses for the month, she did not have much left. She needed to save this money for a rainy day. Back then, she had thought that money was the source of all evil. However, she felt that cold hard cash was extremely important after she got sick. When she got back to the employee’s dormitory, she was the only one in the room that housed four people. It was not the time for their shifts, so she did not know where the others were. Maybe it was because she was still suffering from a fever, so she felt dizzy after changing her clothes. She held the locker next to her to support herself. Then, she heard footsteps coming toward her. Suddenly, she was pushed away forcefully. Her lower back hit the desk behind her. She grunted from the dull pain. Megan did not expect Tiffany Lawrence to push Sophia like that. She jumped up from the shock. When she came back to her senses, she noticed that Sophia’s face had turned white. She walked over immediately and helped her up. “Tiffany, what are you doing? Are you okay, Sophia?” Sophia shook her head with her face as white as a sheet. “I’m fine…” “You’re fine, but I’m not. You’re a murderer, and you’re touching my locker. Are you trying to do something to our lockers when we’re not here?” “I…” Sophia did not have time to react. She lifted her head to look at Tiffany who was looking down on her. She understood everything immediately. That incident had caused such a commotion in the club. She figured that the entire club must have already knew about her incarceration. The expected embarrassment washed over her. She lowered her eyes and explained softly, “I held your locker to support myself because I felt dizzy. I didn’t do anything, don’t worry.” “God knows. I’m scared that I’ll die an unexplained death one day from living with a murderer like you.” “Enough. We’ve hung out with each other for half a month. Aren’t you just fine?” Megan glared at her. When she turned around, she saw an unhealthy red tint on Sophia’s abnormally pale face. She reached out her hand and touched her forehead. “Ah! You got discharged when you’re still burning up? Why didn’t you stay in the hospital longer?” “It’s just a cold, it’s nothing serious…” “Pah, why are you still pretending?” Tiffany retorted. She checked her locker again before slamming the door to leave. “I’m telling the person in charge that I want to change my dorm. It’s so disgusting staying with a person like this.” Megan looked at Tiffany’s retreating back, and her eyes were red from anger. “Who the hell does she think she is? Does she think she’s royalty? She’s working here like the rest of us! Sophia, don’t mind her.” Sophia was stunned when she saw Megan standing up for her. Warmth started spreading in her heart. “Thank you, Megan.” ‘Thank you for making me believe that this world is not as bad as it seems.’ After a while, there was knocking on the door. Megan went over to open the door. When she saw the person at the door, she was slightly shocked. “Ah? Marie, why are you here?” Marie grunted a reply and did not answer her. Her gaze landed on Sophia who was sitting on the side of the bed. Her almond-shaped eyes were inspecting her. This was the second time she saw Sophia. Both times were on different occasions. She was always swift and decisive in whatever she did. She pointed at Sophia as her red lips moved. “You. Come with me.” Sophia had met Marie before. Two years ago, she did not know that the shareholder of Dream Club was Charles. The boss lady of Dream Club was involved with Charles’ scandals, so she did everything she could to get a member card so that she could come here to check her out. However, she only looked at her from afar at that time. She had not seen her clearly. Half a month ago, when she was thrown here, the person who arranged everything for her was the assistant manager. After she started work, Marie never once showed her face. She looked at the alluring and meticulously-dressed woman in front of her. Sophia could not help but exclaim how extraordinarily beautiful Marie was. No wonder she could handle such a huge club on her own. “Your roommate went to the manager’s office and rambled on and on about changing dorms.” Marie looked at Sophia and arched her eyebrows. “I think you should know about that. What do you have to say about this?” “That’s right. It’s all my fault. I volunteer to move out of the employee dormitory.”
