Chapter 833:
Dalores took Emerson from the servantâs arms and asked the servant to assist in the kitchen. She sat down with Eileen, their voices hushed.
âHonestly, youâre the only person I contact with this phone. Kinsey wasnât too happy just now, so who knows if Iâll even be able to keep it?â A bitter smile tugged at Daloresâs lips. Without money, she was trapped under Kinseyâs thumb.
Though Eileen was her willing ally, Dalores hesitated to trouble her further.
With Emerson still so young, getting a job seemed impossible for at least three years. She wouldnât be able to pay Eileen back if she borrowed money from her.
Challenges piled up, blocking every path forward. Dalores resigned herself to taking each day as it came, walking a precarious line beside Kinsey.
Sensing her friendâs turmoil, Eileen said, âHave you talked with Bailee recently? The educational institution needs two online teachers. Would you be interested?â
Dalores perked up at the mention of Baileeâs renowned institution. Its teachers were well-compensated, with some earning hundreds of thousands annually.
Despite her lack of experience, Daloresâs high level of education made her a promising candidate. The prospect of recording lessons while Emerson slept presented a challenge, but it also offered a glimmer of hope. She would have a job and, more importantly, a source of income.
Daloresâs eyes sparkled with excitement. âIs that really possible? But I donât have anything prepared here. Should I be interviewed first? Iâd hate to be a burden.â
Eileen leaned forward, her voice reassuring. âWith your qualifications, itâs absolutely doable if you put in the effort.â She paused before adding, âThe institution offers support slots. Once you sign the contract, they provide a laptop and all the necessary materials. You just need to dedicate your time and energy.â
gαâηÏνðâsâ¤com is your story source This support program had been Eileenâs brainchild, initially designed to help college students from underprivileged backgrounds. Given Daloresâs current situation, it fit the criteria perfectly.
Hearing this, Dalores was thrilled. âReally? Thatâs amazing! Please, help me apply for a spot.â
They hadnât chatted for long when Bryan arrived. Kinsey, now in casual attire, descended the stairs to chat with Bryan in the living room. Meanwhile, Eileen and Dalores entertained the children on the balcony.
Half an hour later, dinner was served. Eileenâs stomach growled with hunger.
Kinsey, focused entirely on Bryan, opted for a seat opposite him rather than at the head of the table. The finest dishes were placed between the two men, while Eileen and Dalores, seated to the side, had only a few plates of vegetables before them.
âMr. Dawson, these are just simple home-cooked meals. I hope you donât mind,â Kinsey said politely.
Bryanâs voice was cool. âHome-cooked meals that took over an hour to prepare? It seems your dinner invitation is more of a formality, not sincere at all.â
Eileen had just reached for her fork when she heard Bryanâs sharp remark. She knew Bryan had been feeling protective lately, seizing any opportunity to reprimand the Vazquez family for their treatment of her.
He had grown to dislike them all, using every opportunity to put them in their place, turning minor issues into major grievances and leaving them humiliated.
