My name is Ella. When I was just a baby my father left my mom and I.

I have never been in any relationship
with any guy.

I hate them. They just like to screw
you and leave.

last year my mother got sick, so sick
that she had to stop working. I am
the money provider. Because we don't have any money, I can't really take mom to hospital or doctor. I can't. When I take her to the hospital, the
doctor said that I need to pay when
I said I don't have money they said
that's not their fault and they can't
do anything for mom. so I took
mom home.

Yesterday after the doctor basically kicked me out I went to my best friend whom work in a coffee shop with her brother. her brother,
Thomas and Mr Dun are the only guys that I actually talk and have connection with. yesterday this Liam guy was in the coffee shop. he followed me. I thought I will not see him anymore because he said it himself that he lives in the other side of the city, where the wealthy people live.

Today I saw him again once I came
where I work

He is working here!

"I do have a question" he said

"yes?" I respond.

"Do you have a money problem?" He asked.

"That's personal don't you think?" I replied. He's just like other guys. in fact he's worse than my father. I take a deep breath.

Just then the phone called, as usual I
hop and answer the phone. "hello, this is Duns mechanic store,
how may I help."

"hi Ella, my car just stopped working.
could you..." It's Thomas.

"Tow machine come right up." I said.

"My car is 5 minutes walking from the
payphone I'm using at the moment." Thomas said.

"alright please give me the address. I'll send tow machine to you." I said.

"yeah ok thank you" he said giving me the address.

I hanged up

"Liam come here" I call Liam.

"no thanks" he replied.

"Fine I will go. I need to go and tow a
car here." I said.

"ok ok I am coming." He said.

Seriously! did he think I'm hitting
on him. how cocky!

"Do you know how to use the tow?" I asked.

"of course I do." Liam said.

"Alright this is the address." I told him giving him the address.

Liam left, and Mr Dun came to me.

"are you sure he can do it? you are
the one who actually needs the
money!" Mr. Dun said.

"He will know that he cannot do it. Mr. Dun my mother really needs to see doctor. please I'm asking you" I was about to ask for raise money again.

"I know you are concern about your
mother, but as I said I can not help you. the fact that I let you work here
itself is a miracle. look I really can't help you. I only need one person to work here. As you see, we don't have as much customer as we used to." Mr. Dun said to me.

"so what? you want to fire me?" I said raising my voice. "I'm telling you that I'm under a lot of pressure. I am good at my job." I added.

"I'm sorry" Mr. Dun said.

"No you are not sorry. if you were
sorry you wouldn't even consider
firing me." I said.

"Ross, Liam's father is a wealthy man.
If he says that Liam is going to work here, Liam is going to work here." Mr. Dun said.
