Chapter 55: Devoted Five years to you

Song Recommendation>>Nightcore-Six pills by Rosendale.

Those her Tang Xue Mei’s last words before she received a message from Ming Beicheng.

{Yes but the first candidate is a little bit broke and depressed..}

Tang Xue Mei blinked, as long as it didn’t stop her from doing her job but could a depressed person actually make good food without it tasting like sadness?

{When can we meet her}

{She said she’ll be free today, so I met Lotus continental hotel’s manager if we could use their kitchen, he’s a good friend of mine so he let us use their spare kitchen. Then I sent her a message to meet us there at 1pm}

Tang Xue Mei looked at the time, it was a little bit over 12pm, she checked her gps to see how far she was from Lotus continental hotel.

"About 15 miles away from here, I would get there on time.."

{I’ll head out now}

She was the boss, she couldn’t go there wearing a romper. So she choose a black spaghetti strapped gown which fell a little past her knees, she didn’t want to leave her arms bare so she wore a white crop jacket over it.

She added a little bit of makeup to her face and she was ready to leave the house.

***********

Tap!

Tap!

Tap!

A slow muffled singing voice could be heard inside a dimly litted room, the room looked a bit damped and dusty. The curtains hadn’t been opened for weeks it was as thought there was no one living in the house.

"One to numb the pain..."

A rather frail looking hand reached out to pick a bottle of pill, on it’s body read "Anti-depression pills"

"The pills aren’t working anymore, I can’t stop crying, why did he do this to me. Five years! I’ve loved him for five years and in the end I wasn’t the one he got married to"

Song Jia popped a pill in her mouth and got out of bed. She had a job interview at 1pm, she had no money left. She couldn’t be broke and depressed at the same time.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she realized how much she had changed after the breakup.

"Two to ease the pain, three to clear your mind, forget all the hate..."

She murmured, that song had been the only thing keeping her head together. But it was the reason she was only getting an overdose.

"I hope my cooking is still as good, I thought I’d be the one who would cook for him forever..."

She wore her hood over her head, not forgetting to place her airpods on, the song was what kept her going.

She could no longer see the beauty in life but soon she’ll be fine.

"Where to miss?"

"Lotus continental hotel.."

"30 yuan.."

Song Jia nodded she had just about enough to take her there and go back home.

She closed her eyes for a little rest.

~Flashback~

"Who is she?"

"How do I say this, Song Jia this is my wife.."

Wife!

Wife!

Song Jia took a step back, her eyes falling on the heart shaped ring on the woman’s finger.

"How? Why! Where did this so called wife come from!"

The man didn’t want to say much, he was here to formally end things with Song Jia since he was married now. He didn’t want his wife’s family on his neck.

"That doesn’t matter, I’m here to end things formally with you, I’ll bring whatever things I have of you in my house and anything of mine you have in yours, you can burn it.."

Tears rolled out of Song Jia’s eyes, she was such a fool, the man she had devoted her life too had married another woman.

"I devoted five years of my life for you, work hard, I went to culinary school, you were living off me, don’t you think I deserved better than this, I paid your mother’s hospital fee, I went as far as Longjen to spread her ashes when she passed away. I loved you so much and yet..."

Song Jia clenched her fists, today marked the last day she would show interest in a man. She would adopt a child and they would live a happy life by themselves.

"Song Jia let it go, i never wanted to hurt you.."

Song Jia didn’t say anything and turned around, she spent her youths working hard for a man who ended marrying another woman.

After that she was too depressed to keep her job in the restaurant she was working in, all her food tasted bad, she couldn’t make anything without it tasting like sadness.

But she was slowly getting better and she would try her best to keep this job.

"Miss we’ve arrived."

Song Jia thanked the driver and paid the bill before getting out of the cab. She saw a dress store close to the hotel so she decided to get a change of clothes, at least to increase the rate of her getting employed.

"The gown looks good on you miss, it would be even better if you had a smile on your face..."

The cashier smiled, a beautiful lady would looked so depressed, she didn’t even care about her appearance. They could see that she was depressed the moment she walked into the store.

"I’m trying my best.."

After paying for the dress, she stood at the front of the hotel, waiting for her interviewer.

"Miss, are you Song Jia?"

Song Jia raised her head to see a handsome man with black and soft features, he was dressed in a black suit. She could tell that the person she was going to work for was rich but why did he come in a taxi.

"Yes, I’m Song Jia.."

"Great! You look nice my boss will be here in a minute. Let’s go inside you can tell the type of food you cook.."

Song Jia nodded and followed Ming Beicheng inside the hotel.

There she happened to run into an old flame.
