Chapter 1444
She wouldn’t be marrying Nigel and wasn’t going to steal their chance of becoming Mrs. Manson.
After getting into Nigel’s car, Queenie’s stomach began to rumble. She clutched her stomach awkwardly and asked
hesitantly, “Have you eaten dinner yet?”
“Yes.” Nigel’s hands rested elegantly on the steering wheel as he drove them out of the hotel compound.
Well, it’s almost 9.00PM. Who else would’ve gone without dinner apart from me?
“Mr. Manson, would it be possible for me to make a somewhat unreasonable request?” Queenie ventured.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe eyed her thoughtfully. An unreasonable request? What’s she trying to do now?
She got straight to the point. “Can I get an advance of this month’s salary?”
“That’s not part of the company’s regular practice.” He denied her request without missing a beat. He wasn’t about
to make a special exception for her.
“Then, could you lend me some money for food? I’ll pay you back once I get my salary. Oh, and with interest too.”
She was raised in a fairly decent family environment, which resulted in her being bold enough to make such a
request without hints of shyness.
Other women probably wouldn’t dare to ask a man like Nigel to lend them money. They were too afraid of
embarrassing themselves.
“Nope.” Nigel still remembered why he decided to take her in. It was to get his revenge, not for the sake of taking
care of her.
Queenie pouted, but she wasn’t angry. She sighed and looked out the window, Her eyes lit up suddenly as she
pointed at a large pharmacy and exclaimed, “My family owns that pharmacy.”
He glanced at where she was pointing. Her family’s rich, alright, but she has fallen so low that she needs to borrow
money from me now. Sounds like she’s leading a great life.
He couldn’t help but snort as he remarked, “You can just ask your family for money.”
She had a determined look on her face. “There’s no way I’m doing that. My Dad kicked me out of the house. I have
to survive on my own.”

lip and glared at him. Does he find it fun to put a damper on my spirits? I don’t expect him to comfort me, but he
doesn’t have to dash my hopes like that now, does he? It’s my first time getting kicked out of the house too! So, it’s
not like I have any experience in this.
She rested her head on the door and stared out the window. At the same time, her stomach started growling
again.
She had no choice but to try and negotiate with her stomach, “Can you be quiet for just one night? I’ll feed you
tomorrow morning.”
