Find Me In Your Labyrinth Chapter 319

Chapter 319

Emily glanced up and mustered a smile. “No need to worry.”

“You’re still young, no need to be so glum!” Aimee exclaimed.

Emily chuckled. “You’re only three years older than me!”

Aimee offered a faint smile. “As long as it’s not a matter of life or death, keep your spirits up!”

Emily took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and thought to herself, “Yes, I may have lost a job, but I can find another one. It’s not a major setback!”

“Thanks, Aimee!” Emily giggled, showing her cute dimples.

“No problem!” Aimee patted her shoulder and got up to leave.

As Emily was about to get back to work, her phone in her apron pocket vibrated. She saw it was her mom, so she went to the back of the workspace to answer.

“Mom, what’s up?”

“Emily, are you at work?” Gina asked worriedly.

“Yeah.”

“I just wanted to let you know that the money from selling the house has been transferred to us. I want to give you 100,000 dollars, so I’ll send it to your account.”

Emily was stunned, not expecting this much money.

“Can my brother still afford the down payment if you give me 100,000 dollars?” Emily asked.

“He only needs to cover the down payment, so it’s enough!” Gina felt guilty. She originally planned to give Emily only 10,000 20,000 dollars, but with this sudden large sum of money, it felt like she

hadn’t given Emily any share of the house’s sale.

“What about yourself? If you use all your money for my brother’s house, what about you?” Emily asked with concern.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Gina interjected, “I managed to save some money for myself, and I also found a new job that provides accommodation and meals. I don’t require much extra money. You, on the other hand, are a young woman living independently, and you’ll need funds for various expenses. Moreover, school will be starting soon, and there will be tuition fees to consider.”

Emily didn’t explicitly decline her mother’s offer.

Gina asked tentatively, “Emily, do you have a boyfriend?”

“No, why do you ask?” Emily was puzzled. “Mom, why did you suddenly ask this?”

Gina hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I thought that if you had a boyfriend, he could help lighten your load a bit.”

Emily responded, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, “I don’t want a boyfriend at the moment.” “Take care of yourself out there,” Gina said, offering her well-wishes.

additional conversation, Gina ended the call and transferred the promised amount of

100,000 dollars to Emily.

Emily felt a sense of relief. With the money in hand, she could promptly repay Charlie.

Without wasting any time, Emily transferred the funds to Charlie and left a message, saying, “Thank you, Charlie.”

Charlie called back soon, laughing, “How come you suddenly have money?”

“Excitedly, Emily replied, “I got 100,000 dollars from selling our house. It’s just enough to pay you

back.”

“Oh, I see!” Charlie smiled, “You can come to me if you need money in the future.”

“Okay, go back to work. I won’t bother you!”

“Bye!”

After hanging up, Emily felt relieved, her frustrations from being fired vanished, and the pressure in her heart lifted.

In the evening, Charlie invited Jonathan to join him at the Midnight Bar. He poured him a drink, teasingly remarking, “I figured you might be bored sitting alone at home. Am I thoughtful or what?”

Jonathan lounged on the sofa, a lazy smile on his face. “I heard you’ve broken up again. Congratulations!”

“Why would you congratulate me on breaking up?” Charlie raised an eyebrow, curious about Jonathan’s response.

Jonathan replied with a playful tone, “I’m congratulating you on your ability to quickly find another girlfriend.”

Charlie chuckled, acknowledging Jonathan’s understanding of his dating habits.

As he lit a cigarette, Charlie suggested, “Why don’t you consider changing things up too?”
