Chapter 81 “This is a private condominium!” Tina was in shock. “I don’t think the environment of your current place is safe enough for a woman to live alone. From now on, you’ll be living here.”
“But…” novelbin
“No buts! I know you want to pay me back for this. If it makes you feel bad, consider it a debt. You can pay me back when you’re financially stable.” Aside from finding her an apartment, John also arranged for a job for her at a locally renowned art studio that he knew Tina used to study art when she was still in university. Since Tina was new to the job, she worked at the front desk welcoming guests and giving them tours around the studio.
It wasn’t an exhausting job. What was more, Tina’s boss was deeply impressed by the skill sets Tina demonstrated at work. It seemed that her university studies were being put to good use. “This is your pay for this month!” the boss announced to her. When Tina saw the numbers on the pay slip, she couldn’t believe her eyes. “Sir, I think you gave me more than promised!” When she started working, the boss offered around 500 dollars a month. However, the payment slip stated 900 dollars. It was almost double the amount! “I’ve been observing your work this past month, and I realized you’re a talented and hardworking employee. This is just å token of my appreciation.” The boss patted her on the shoulders and continued , “T’ll be bringing you along for business trips from now on. Don’t disappoint me, okay?” “I’ll do my best!” Tina said in determination, clenching her fists, Tina was elated. Who would’ve known that her boss would recognize her efforts? Her hard work aside, Tina knew that John also played a huge part in helping her gain the boss’s favor.
After pondering for a while, she made a phone call to John. “Hey, how’s it going?” John picked up the phone almost immediately.
“John, I have good news!” Tina said excitedly. “Did you receive your pay today?” “Yep, and the boss also doubled my pay! It’s my treat today!”
“Sure. Why don’t we have dinner at The Navy? The restaurant hired a renowned cook from France. The food there is really good.”

Tina had heard of The Navy before. It was a five-star restaurant in Freesia. However, only customers with membership could dine in this prestigious restaurant. “But… I don’t have a membership there.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve got it covered.”
“Alright, then!” Tina agreed. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “Go ahead and order all the dishes you like. Worse comes to worst, I’ll just work as their maid if I can’t pay up.”
John couldn’t help but chuckle. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you resort to that.” After she hung up the phone, Tina was still worried. She looked up information about The Navy. As if it couldn’t get worse, the restaurant also required a formal dress code! Tina frowned and thought, ‘I don’t have that much money to buy a gown! I guess I’ll have to rent one later. Just as she was preoccupied with her thoughts, her phone rang. She looked at the screen and noticed that it was a call from a stranger. “Hello? This is Tina Lynd.” “Miss Lynd, this is Cindy Young,” Cindy said with a gentle tone. Tina was stunned. “Miss Young? Is there anything I can help you with?” “Are you free right now? I’d like to talk to you. It’s about Samuel.” Instantly, Tina knew that Cindy must’ve misunderstood something. She explained immediately, “Is this about my phone call from last time? I can explain , Miss Young…” However, Cindy cut her off instantly. “I’ll see you later, okay? Samuel’s looking for me right
now”
