Chapter 804: 251: Her Terrifying Strength!_4
Rachel Barton turned on the faucet, took out her facial cleanser, and began washing her face religiously before putting on a face mask.
Once the face mask was on, Rachel carefully applied her skincare products, including her eye cream.
All her skincare products were high-end brands bought by Delia Frieman.
The effects were very good.
With her skincare ritual complete, Rachel began reading.
Under the table lamp, she looked intensely absorbed.
Around half-past ten.
Rachel was preparing to turn off the light and go to bed.
She had school tomorrow and needed to get up early.
As she was just about to climb into bed, there was a knock on the door.
The door was locked from inside, so Rachel had to go open it.
As she opened the door,
There stood Delia Frieman.
Upon seeing Delia,
A feeling of disgust stirred within Rachel.
She could not understand why Delia chose to step back into the pit of fire.
If Delia herself did not aspire for more, could she not think about the family around her?
However, Rachel concealed her inner thoughts, still smiling as she said, “Ella, welcome home from work.”
“Hmm.” Delia walked into Rachel’s bedroom, “Rachel, were you about to sleep?”
“Hmm.” Rachel nodded, “I have classes tomorrow.”
Delia said with a smile, “Then I won’t disturb you, Rachel. Oh, and take this.”
Finishing her sentence, she put the envelope she was holding onto the bedside table.
“What’s that?” Rachel asked curiously.
Delia replied, “You’re heading back to school soon, right? Our company paid salaries today, so I withdrew some cash for you. Rachel, even though Ella never went to university, I know it’s costly. Take this money, treat your roommates to a meal or a gathering if necessary, and buy yourself a couple of nice outfits. We must never let people think we’re stingy or poor.”
She could bear hardships, but her sister shouldn’t have to.
She wanted everyone to know that she, Delia Frieman, had such an extraordinary sister.
“Ella, I can’t take this. Besides, I have enough money.” She didn’t want to take money earned by Delia’s means.
It felt too dirty.
“What do you mean you have enough? Just take it!” Delia continued, “Do you want to upset me?”
Thinking about the disdainful looks from her roommates when she first moved into the dormitory.
And the fact she was genuinely short of money right now, Rachel reluctantly accepted, “Ella, thank you.”
“Silly girl, what are you talking about!” Delia patted Rachel’s head, “Rachel, we’re family. You know they say a sister is like a mother. Our eldest sister has two kids to raise, so from now on, you can count on me like you would on a mother – if you need anything, don’t hesitate to come to me.”
Rachel’s eyes were slightly red. She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t moved.
She thought to herself.
If only Delia didn’t work in her particular line of work, things would be perfect.
Rachel embraced Delia, sobbing, “Ella…”
“Silly girl.” Delia patted Rachel’s back, “I’m going to get ready for bed, you should sleep now.”
“Hmm.” Rachel let go of Delia and nodded, “Goodnight, Ella.”
After Delia left the bedroom, Rachel counted the money from the envelope.
Just right.
Twenty thousand yuan.
She would definitely pay this money back to Delia in the future.
Dolores Frieman, came over and said, “Delia, I made you some soup, it’s on the table, go drink it.”
“Hmm.” Delia put another envelope on the table, “Dolores, I just got paid today, a total of sixty thousand yuan, this is our living expenses for this month.”
Dolores replied, “We still have two thousand left from last month’s expenses, we don’t need any for this month.”
Delia continued, “Dolores, our children are young and need more nutritious food. Don’t be so frugal, buy more meat, eggs, milk and so on.”
Delia had calculated before, four thousand yuan for monthly living expenses was just the right amount. If there was still two thousand left, it meant Dolores had been cutting costs from every aspect.
The next day.
Delia went to work on time.
Because of her outstanding work performance, she reached a monthly sales target of one million in her first month, so she was now the leader of the sales team. When she came in, the team members all greeted her, “Ella.”
“Good morning, Ella.”
Delia responded to each greeting.
Also coming from a challenging background, Delia had no airs of superiority. She was extremely caring towards the new employees, so everyone in the sales team liked her.
Nobody ever bad-mouthed Delia behind her back.
If not for her lack of qualifications, Delia might have been promoted to management.
