Chapter 62 IMPORTANT NEWS 2

A sudden thought occured to me, scaring me shitless. Could it be that my father owed them a sizable amount of money and they are after me to collect what father owed? Is it the amount so large that they couldn't trust anyone to take the money? The room was cold but my palms were sweating. Jobless and homeless - two of the biggest problems I'm facing now but I'm about to face the third and the most difficult one. A loan so large it will take me a lifetime to pay for it.

“Lily, are you listening to me?” Lia complained, noticing that I'd been quiet for sometime. Her gaze landed on my face and her eyes popped open with worry. “You looked pale! Are you alright?”

“I-I'm fine.” I lied. “The room is just cold, that's why I looked pale. I forgot to bring my jacket with me.” I added and forced myself to smile to convince her I'm alright.

“Just drink your coffee, okay? It will warm you up.” She smiled.
