Chapter 33: The Habit of Taking Care of Others

Without thinking, Anna remembered a time when Elizabeth had called herself a pervert, and it had really suited her! As it was, Anna should be crying in her room. But this time, when she heard about it, she actually felt the urge to clap and laugh. How ironic! Anna licked her lips and said to Elizabeth, "Instead of trying to manipulate Soros from afar, you should pay more attention to your husband. Keep your eyes open." Without waiting for Elizabeth's response, she hung up the phone. She had a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, which made her more of a fox; at least, that's what Joey thought. He cleaned up the kitchen and walked out to see such a smiling Anna as if the tearful girl he had just seen didn't exist. "What's so funny?" Joey asked curiously. "Nothing!" Although Anna said that, she didn't stop her movement. She quickly typed in a message and sent it to a phone number she knew by heart. A little frustrated, Joey said to Anna, "Miss, summer vacation starts the day after tomorrow." Anna thought for a moment and said, "I'll send you the company's address, and you can come in anytime. I'll have my HR department send you the job offer, so give me a copy of your resume." Just as her words were finished, Joey had sent over his resume. She looked at it and stared at Joey. She couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't realize that you were so versatile!" This sincere exclamation made Joey blush, "I'm just doing different jobs." "Too modest," Anna said, "There's no need to hide your abilities in the company. The company needs talented people, not some stupid guys." The corner of Joey's mouth twitched, and then he agreed. Anna arranged for a driver to take him out, but she looked more closely at his resume until then. Both of his parents had died in a car accident, and his address confirmed that he was indeed the man she had in mind. That butterfly birthmark! It was something that was actually a knot in her heart. When she was a little girl, living in a distant neighbourhood, all her friends moved with her parents one by one and eventually left her. She was the most famous child when she was little, and the child with the butterfly birthmark was the youngest. She couldn't remember when that child stopped showing up. She asked the other kids, and they knew nothing about what happened to his family. She asked her parents but learned that the boy's parents had died in a car accident and that he was about to be put in an orphanage. She was so worried that she ran to his house to look for him, only to see a car with the boy in it drive away. The child's unglowing eyes pierced straight into her heart. After that day, she became even more complex on herself, believing she wasn't strong enough that her big sister couldn't even protect her youngest brother. She fell into silence and spent all her energy on her studies. And Soros' appearance was actually an accident. She thought it was love because his smile was so fresh in her mind.
