Asking for Help


    I warmly greeted Myra and noticed her little son was already exploring the house. I sighed at how


    quickly


    time flies.


    Ava was having fun ying with him and acting like a big sister. She made himugh, and the kids got


    along well. Ava probably felt lonely.


    Myra seemed a bit hesitant. “Chlo, this is my first time at Amethyst Apartments. The environment is


    incredible. Johnson used to tell me about it, but I never imagined I’de here. I should have visited


    sooner!”


    I could sense from her tone that Johnson was unaware of Myra’s visit to my house today.


    “You should havee earlier. Look at how well the little ones are getting along. In the future, feel free


    to


    bring him over to y whenever you like.”


    After signaling for Myra to sit down, I joined her and looked at the two kids.


    My mother was busy in the kitchen, and upon seeing me return, she said, “Myra, have dinner here


    today. Chlo, we’ll serve the meal once you’re done chatting!”


    “Thanks, Ms. Laura. I’ll just talk to Chlo for a bit and then leave. I didn’t expect you to get off work so


    late!” Myra stood up suddenly, appearing even more uncertain.


    I immediately pulled her back down. “Why so polite? Since you’re here, just stay. Let’s talk a bit more.


    My parents love it when there are more people around. It’s lively!”


    Only then did Myra sit back down, still feeling a bit uneasy.


    I


    “Chlo… I wanted to ask you if there’s any way you could let Johnson join yourpany. He can do


    anything, even as just a regr employee.


    She held onto me urgently, speaking in a rush. “Chlo, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.


    Johnson couldn’t bring himself to ask you. He feels bad for troubling you, especially after he left so


    abruptly with Matthew.”


    As I had suspected, she was here for Johnson. Seeing that I hadn’t responded, tears. She was more


    embarrassed than anything.


    Myra’s eyes filled with


    know this request might put you in a tough spot, Chlo. Our actions have not been consistent, which


    makes things hard for you. But I have no choice. Since I had my child, I haven’t been working, and


    Johnson has been the sole breadwinner.”


    Take your time. I understand,” Iforted the somewhat agitated Myra.


    She let out a sigh of relief and lowered her head.

    “In fact, I’ve struggled for a long time. Johnson didn’t want me toe. He said he couldn’t face you.


    He acted all high and mighty when he followed Matthew back then, so he couldn’t bring himself to


    bother you. He said he couldn’t impose on you anymore.”


    1 could empathize with Myra’s feelings. Raising a child can be costly, and family support alone can be


    overwhelming.


    Myra looked worried. “I can’t help it. Johnson works for Matthew but is always pushed around. He’s


    given. all sorts of menial tasks to do, and Mnie… She constantly picks on him, scolding him in front


    of everyone. She’s even cut his pay several times!”


    “They cut his pay?”


    That was a bit unexpected. Johnson had been by Matthew’s side for quite a few years, working


    tirelessly. It didn’t seem fair to reduce his pay without good reason.


    “Yes! Matthew doesn’t even care. He’d changed since joining the wealthy Thompsons. He’s even more


    cruel now, always doing things that help himself at the expense of others. And he forces Johnson to do


    it. I am afraid something bad will happen at some point.”


    “Is that so?”


    “Chlo, they even involved Johnson in their project. Mnie always makes Johnson do things against


    his principles. I’m afraid this will lead to trouble sooner orter.”


    “What kind of things?” I asked, concerned,
