The Billionaire Ever After

Chapter 34 - Allison

Allison: hey mom.. what are you doing?

Mom: just finished masturbating. It makes me feel so relaxed. You should try, Al

Allison: um.. mom?

Mom: oh God. No I mean menstruating

Allison: um.. I thought you already menopause

Mom: oh sweet Jesus!!! Meditating!! What the hell is wrong with this phone!!!

I chuckle despite my glumly mood. I call her.

"Hey baby?" Mom's voice is so soft. It makes me want to cry.

"Hey mom"

"Alli? What's wrong? Tell me? What happened sweetie?"

I chuckle and sob at the same time.

"God Alli. What's wrong? Baby, tell me please." She panicked.

I inhale deeply and start telling my mom the story of my work's life. 3 months and resigned.

"I acted on impulse mom. My boss couldn't handle Nina, my workplace is toxic for me"

"I know sweetie. It's okay. That Nina is a bitch. You did the right thing. Why did you cry?"

"I'm jobless mom!!" I complain. It's clear I'm jobless in 2 weeks.

She chuckles "come on dear. It's okay. You're smart. I'm sure a lot of people want you in their company"

"I strained my CV with this mom. 3 months and resigned" I sigh.

"Didn't you say.. um.. who is your boss' friend's name?"

"Bryce Connolly?"

"Yes that one. He wants you to work in the igloo right?"

"Yeah but I was agreeing him under Decateau"

"Did you sign the contract?"

"Not yet..."

"Then he still can hire you, then"

"I don't know, mom. He is Scott's friend"

"Okay then. What about the google maker?"

"What who?"

"The one who helped you today"

I roll my eyes "he is not google founder. Anthony Lockwood. Yes I agreed to help him..l

"So you already scored a job then. Smile sweetie, I'm sure you can figure it out"

I smile despite my tears "thanks mom.. I'm sorry I worried you"

"It's okay, sweetie. Look don't worry about your apartment, okay? Just find the right place for you. We can help you"

I pout "I'm not going to take your money"

She chuckles "always the independent girl"

"Okay mom. To be honest I have enough money for the next 5-6 months. Since I got a big bonus from my old company and the Roderick. So I'll be fine for a while but if until then I don't find a job please borrow me some money. I prom—"

"Allison Jane Wheeler. I'm your mother okay. No question needed. I'll help you as much as I can. I'm your big tree. Remember?"

I smile, my eyes glassy (again). "Love you mommy"

"I love you more, baby girl"

We end the phone and I feel much lighter. I go to the fridge and take out my red. I pour it to the brim and enjoy it while thinking about what I should do next.
