I didn't expect that the two of them would be so blatant now, picking up and dropping off each other every day.
And Patricia actually found an older man who is ten years older than me!
Is an older man more experienced?
I sneered and said, no wonder Patricia has been so focused on work recently, and her performance was getting better and better, one client after another.
So it turns out that someone else introduced her to him!
When I heard Patricia say that she has a big client recently, I suddenly had a good idea.
I definitely didn't want Patricia to make money.
Just as I was thinking, my phone rang, it was Patricia's mother.
Impatiently, I answered the phone, it's not the time to come to an open break yet.
"Harold, how is the job search for Peter going?" Her mother called me and the first thing she asked was about finding a job for Patricia's younger brother, Peter Anne.
He lost his job before, and Patricia asked me to continue looking for him, and I agreed.
"Auntie, I have a friend who opened a factory. I asked my friend before and arranged a job with good pay and less work for Peter. My friend agreed on their side, and there will be news in a while. I thought I would tell you when there is news."
"In my opinion, you should go for that job you applied for last time. The pay was too low, you could earn more with this one, right?"
"Yes, my friend said it's about 1,500 dollars for this month."
"Oh my goodness! This is great!" Patricia's mother Sofia sounded so happy on the phone, and her tone of speech has improved.
"It has to be you, Harold. I will tell Peter to find you if he needs anything in the future."
I responded with a laugh.
"Oh, by the way, Harold, you and Patricia have been together for so long, what about the dowry..."
Every time Sofia called, it's either because of her younger brother or because of the dowry. It happened every time.
There was nothing else to say.
I used to promise her that I would definitely give the dowry, but now I don't have that much. I was working hard to earn money for a better life for Patricia.
Sofia always didn't believe it, sneered at me, thinking that I was painting castles in the air for her and her daughter.
So every once in a while, I had to bring up this matter.
Before I could speak, Patricia's father Bob grabbed the phone and said to me, "Harold, as a man, you have to be honest and practical, money is the most important."
