Ruby didn't know when she fell asleep, but when she was a little conscious, her lower abdomen bust into pain.
She knew that her period is coming. The last few times, Ethan had already returned, so she also subconsciously close to him. "Hubby, I got abdominal pain."
She reached out to him, but there was emptiness.
Ruby opened her eyes in a daze, only then did she realize that the side was empty and cold. The man had been away for a long time, there was a note on the bedside table.
"Hurry to catch flight for a three-day business trip."
Ethan's handwriting was the same as him, neat and tidy. The distance between each word was just right.
Ruby held the note tightly in her arms, the string pressed in her heart finally snapped, she buried her head in tears.
For the past three years, she had spent countless days and nights on her own when he wasn’t at home. However, she had never felt such a heart-wrenching pain before.
She got a cold carelessly while having an abdominal pain, it caused her discomfort. She called the company to ask for leave, then turned off the phone and cover his head to sleep, just ordering some porridge when she was hungry.
Two days later, the cold was gone and she felt much better.
Ruby got up to take a bath, she felt much more comfortable and called Lily, "Lin, I need your help."
Lily asked, "What's up?"
"Can you lend me some money?" Ruby knew that Lily was in an ordinary family. Her parents both worked for others with not a high salary.
"Is it about your father?"
Ruby sighed.
The first judge of Brighton was dismissed, and the news was overwhelming.
"I'm on the night shift. I can't leave." Lily said, "I’m transferring 80000 to you by my phone, it is a little small, but I only have so much at the moment, I'll think about other ways."
"Enough, I come to find a way for others." Ruby didn't know what to say and was deeply moved. "Lin, you helped me a lot, thanks so much.
Lily said calmly, “It’s not the first day to know?”. "Oh, yes. Did you learn French, right? One of my guests needed a French interpreter. 100,000 pounds a night. Would you like to try?"
"100,0000?"With negotiation, you can get 100,000, this was indeed a lifesaver for her. What she need was money. "Alright, give me the contact details."
"But they drink hard. Can you bear it?"
"It's OK. We also drink a lot when we were studying in school previously? Don't you know how much I can drink?"
"Sure."
Finishing the chatting for a while, Lily sent her a number.
Ruby phone the number, the other side knew about it while mentioned Lily's name. She was asked to get to Boom Hotel at 6 p.m. in proper clothes, she noted it on paper.
Spending three minutes to negotiate, she will get such a high-paying temporary job, Ruby almost screamed for joy.
With what she borrowed, she could have a total of 180,000!
Ruby was very careful with this temporary job. She picked in the wardrobe for a few hours. Seeing time is up, she dressed up quickly and rushed out with her bag and keys.
Her taxi arrived at the Peace Hotel in about ten minutes.
The waiter knew which room is the guest after knowing her mobile number. He led her up to the third floor, the long corridor was covered with a soft red carpet, there isn’t noisy when stepping on.
There were only four people in the private room. Ruby knew who was the leader with a glance, so she went up and reached out, "Cecil, I'm the French translator, Ruby.”
"Oh, here?" Seeing that Ruby had greeted him as soon as she entered and even had dressed properly, Cecil was rather impressed by her natural temperament and shook her hand.
Cecil briefly introduce to her the people around him as well as the negotiations and the export of commodities, she was asked to be translated because the other party was French.
