SWNOVELS Chapter 12
Chapter 12
"Ah?" Anna Stark didn't expect Daniel Taylor would ask this question. "Sir, why are you saying that?"
Daniel Taylor looked at her. "Nothing, just got a random thought, so I asked it." Maybe I am overthinking. Daniel Taylor thought and shook his head. Anna Stark was relieved by his answer.
With the care of Taylor's family, Anna Stark's cold was cured. After coming back to Jingzhou, Daniel was extremely busy with his work and didn't get much time for Anna. Anna really felt bored and decided to find a job.
She searched for a part-time job on the Internet and got hired by a restaurant as a waitress. The restaurant was located in a luxurious business district. Due to the extremely high prices, there were not many customers. So her work was not really tiring.
One day, she was cleaning up the table, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"Anna Stark!"
Anna looked back. It was Claire Ashley!
After what Anna had faced at Ashley's house, she never contacted Claire Ashley, and she didn't want to have any relation with Claire.
There were two girls. Claire and Emelia, Emelia Cruise was also their classmates. Anna lowered her head because she didn't want to respond. But they came near to her and said, "Anna Stark, do you work here?"
It was Emelia Cruise. She was a small internet celebrity.
Anna Stark only heard about her from Claire. Claire always hated her. That's why Anna Stark also didn't like her much. Emelia Cruise and Claire Ashley were holding each other hands and standing together. She was surprised to see them like this.
Didn't Claire Ashley hate Emelia Cruise very much?
How can they be good friends?
But Anna Stark did not express her thoughts. She nodded politely, handed over the menu to them and asked, "What do you need?"
Claire Ashley held the menu and looked at her. She deliberately said, "Anna Stark, aren't you in Haicheng? How did you come to Jingzhou and started working here?"
Her tone expresses deep concern. By her tone anyone can be deceived, no one could guess that their friendship was already ended. But Anna Stark recognized Claire Ashley's true face. Claire really had two faces, and she can easily pretend anything and can show fake love and concern. That's why that day, after John Peter's sudden arrival she ditched her so easily.
Anna's tone became colder, she said. "If you want something to eat please order it, otherwise I'll leave." She said and turned away.
"Eh! Wait!" Claire Ashley quickly stopped her. "Anna, don't go. Stay here, actually, we are here for the first time. We don't know much about the menu. Can you recommend some delicious dishes for us?" Anna Stark didn't want to stay there. But this was her job, she recommended some dishes. When she was telling them about the menu, Emelia Cruise suddenly interrupted her, "Anna Stark, I heard that you were dumped by John Peter?"
Her words deeply hurt Anna's heart. She looked at Claire and found that she was sitting casually and looking at the menu like she did nothing.
Anna Stark felt sorry for her own self for considering Claire Ashley as her friend.
"Why are you quiet?" Emelia Cruise couldn't bear that Anna ignored her so easily. She added, "I thought your family was rich. After all, you are friends with Claire Ashley, and I didn't expect you to work in such a restaurant."
What's wrong with working here? What's wrong in earning by one own efforts?
Anna Stark glared at Emelia Cruise and said seriously, "Yes, my family don't have a lot of money. It was my bad luck to become friends with Miss. Ashley. And this is my working time. If you want to discuss personal matters, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you."
This time, she didn't pay attention to Claire's reaction. She turned around and left to serve other guests.
Emelia Cruise also said with a strange face, "Anna Stark is really strange. I think John Peter dumped her because she is too poor!"
