Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 162 First Day At Work

Nancy shook her head. “It’s nothing!” Some things had been repeated twice, and she didn’t have the courage to say it a third time. “Since I’m your younger sister, I should play my part, and you should fulfill your duty as the older brother.” Afterward, she quickly closed the door and left.

The rush of emotions, combined with the cold night air, sobered her up considerably. Initially, she had thought of leaving but gave up when she opened the door and saw the pitch-black darkness outside, shivering from the cold while wearing only her pajamas. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and entered the guest room. Perhaps due to the alcohol, she felt warm under the covers, and drowsiness soon overcame her.

The next day, Nancy’s alarm rang early in the morning. She didn’t stay in bed and immediately got up after the alarm went off. Fortunately, she had too many clothes and hadn’t brought all of them with her when she moved, so there were still plenty of clothes she could wear. When she came downstairs after washing up, she saw Nicholas was already there and had prepared breakfast. “Come over and eat with

me.”

Although Nicholas had gotten on Nancy’s nerves the previous night, he was still worried that she might wake up with a headache or an upset stomach from the alcohol. Therefore, he woke up early and made her breakfast.

She checked the time and then looked at the spread of food on the table. She couldn’t help but feel tempted. However, she still held onto her pride. “No, thank you. Today is my first day of work, and I’m about to be late.”

Seeing her walking away, he called out to her, “It’s desolate out here. Are you sure you can get a cab? Sit down and have breakfast. I’ll send you to work after you’re finished.”

Nancy had no choice but to admit that Nicholas had her cornered. It was indeed difficult to hail a cab out here. While it was possible to get one, she would certainly be late by the time it arrived. “Are you sure you’ll take me to the hospital?” she asked, unsure.

“Do I look like I’m lying?”

She stopped talking and began eating her breakfast. The food was just the right temperature. The oatmeal, in particular, was prepared perfectly, with the texture she liked. It warmed her belly as she ate it. Once she was done, she thanked him sincerely, and they left in his car.

The journey took about half an hour, which passed quickly. Upon arriving, Nancy took out her phone. and transferred some money to Nicholas. “Thank you. I don’t want to owe you anything.”
