Chapter 174
Reynaldo suddenly stood up.
He looked down on me and sneered, “Speaking of which, you work so hard, why didn’t your boyfriend come to comfort you?”
“I’ll say it again, he wasn’t my boyfriend!” I growled angrily.
Reynaldo sneered.
Bennett came running–over, panting, holding bread and milk. Seeing Reynaldo, he quickly and respectfully called out, “Boss.”
Finally, he glanced at me again and said to Reynaldo, “Boss, don’t worry, I have been keeping an eye on her and won’t let her slack off.”
After Bennett finished speaking, he threw the bread and milk at me.
I was so hungry that I didn’t care about them anymore. I opened the bread and started eating.
I guess I looked a bit unattractive while eating, Bennett clicked his tongue at me twice, and then quickly asked Reynaldo to sit on the chair.
Reynaldo leaned back in his chair, smiling as he watched me devour the bread hungrily.
After a while, he leaned in and whispered something into Bennett’s ear, but I couldn’t hear from where I was.
Before long, Bennett walked towards me.

“Ah!”
Bennett kicked me on the foot and said, “Just now the boss said that as long as you are willing to give in and say that you can’t handle this job, our boss will give you a way out and not punish you.”
I passed by him and looked at Reynaldo.
The man lazily sat in the chair, smoking a cigarette, with a perpetual smirk of derision on his lips.
“Hey, I was talking to you!” Bennett kicked me in the foot again.
I looked up at him and said softly, “Tell him that I can do this job.”
Bennett furrowed his brow and said, “I didn’t realize you were so cunning, deliberately rejecting the boss’s kind offer to get his attention.”
But it’s not me saying this to you, the big boss finally wants to give you a chance, I advise you to take it and stop while you’re ahead.
“There are still so many useless bricks here, be careful not to exhaust yourself.”
“Thank you for Bennett’s concern.”
“Who, who cares about you, you shameless woman,” Bennett exclaimed angrily, his face wrinkled with frustration.
He said, “You, being such a person, really deserve it!”
With that, he ran back and told Reynaldo.
Reynaldo tugged at his lips towards me, then got up and left.
I sneered at his back as he walked away.

You want me to give in and then mock me even more for not being able to endure hardships, right?
No way!
I transferred the money for buying milk and bread to Bennett.
Bennett glanced at me, a hint of complexity and uncase flickering across
his face.
Seeing me, he looked at me with disdain, then snorted and turned his head away.
I pursed my lips and got up to continue working.
After eating bread and milk, I felt much better.
By the time it was half past five and he finished work, Bennett eagerly ran to the cafeteria to have a meal.
I was afraid of meeting my colleagues in the library, being mocked by them, so I deliberately arrived at the cafeteria more than half an hour late.
When I went, there were indeed not many people in the cafeteria.
But Trevin was there.
There were several colleagues beside him, the same ones who had mocked me at noon.
Well, as soon as I went to the cafeteria, they started pointing and whispering at me.
I ignored them and went to sit aside to cat my meal.
Trevin used to be very enthusiastic when he saw me. But this time, he
Chapter 174
probably didn’t want his colleagues to make fun of him, so he didn’t even say hello to me.
That’s fine too, I am happy to have peace and quiet.
After finishing the meal. I ran to carry those waste bricks.
We spent the whole afternoon moving, and there isn’t much left now. I estimate that we will need to make another six or seven trips, and then
we’ll be done.
My fingers hurt a lot, burning hot.
I looked at my dirty and wounded hands, and suddenly a touch of bitterness surged in my heart.
If it were Kimberly, the man would definitely not bear to see her suffer
like this.
I don’t know if it’s because of pregnancy, but now I easily feel sad and
upset.
I blew on my fingers and then waved away the bad emotions in my heart. I pushed the cart and arrived at the pile of discarded bricks.
I was picking up the waste bricks and putting them into the cart.
Suddenly, someone ran over to help me pick it up. I turned my head and saw that it was Trevin.
