My Inclined Baby

Chapter 53. Abbey's Response

Many were injured because of Van and Anne's marriage. But life goes on. As of today Rylee and Abbey had moved into a rental apartment where the rent had been paid from Rylee's savings while she was working in her papa company. In addition, Eric has also returned to his country to continue papa's business.

"So, what do you want to do today?" ask Abbey.

"I'll find a job, Abbey. Do you want to support me?"

I don't know. Abbey doubts that Rylee can get a job according to what she wants. He's not as patient as Eric in the face of problems. Sometimes he's annoying.

"of course. It's just that I give you time until the day after tomorrow. If you don't get a job soon, then don't blame me for going to find a job."

The threat puts Rylee's self-esteem at stake.

"Abbey, don't fuck around!"

"You think I'd be quiet if you didn't get a job? We can't eat without hard work even though I know we're rich kids. Aren't you ashamed to hang your life on Eric? I hope you understand what I mean!"

Of course I understand. However, Rylee would never give up. One place that is unlikely to be visited is the Van company.

Rylee has tried from one company to another. In fact, finding a job is not easy. Moreover, it is caused by his young age and different thoughts. In the end, Rylee got a job in an auto repair shop.

At first, he was a bit doubtful. However, after thinking that Abbey would be happy when she got the job. That's why he accepted the job.

"At least I'll be self-studying" murmured Rylee.

At lunch, Rylee meets Thanos. The man was looking for lunch.

"Hey, you're here apparently!" greet Thanos.

"Oh, what a coincidence. I just got a job."

"Work?" thanos asked and sat down before the man.

"Yes. I have to live independently and start living my life again. Kind of weird, huh?"

"A little bit, but have you got the job?"

"Yes. I got it today. Tomorrow I start working."

Thanos waved his hand to call the maid. Before the waiter arrives, Thanos asks Rylee to order a meal. While the man will pay for it.

"Are you sure you'll pay for all my food? Ah, no need! Abbey will be angry with me" Rylee said.

"No problem, Rylee. Please don't refuse my request!" Thanos.

In the end, Rylee agreed to Thanos' request as long as the man did not speak to the Abbey. After the waiter recorded all his orders, they continued the delayed chat.

"So where did you get the job?"

"A car repair shop only, Thanos. I'm not as smart as you to live this life. Anyway, Abbey's been warning me not to apply for a job in Van's office."

Thanos mangosteen heard Rylee's words. A few minutes later, however, it was Thanos' turn to tell the story.

"I want to ask for your help!"

"Huh? What help?" Rylee folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Can you help me get close to Helen? I mean, please keep your brother away from him!"

Rylee knew very well that her sister was struggling to get Helen. Anything will be done to convince her mother who will definitely reject the relationship.

"Not really, Rylee. Let's just say it's a sign of our friendship."

Rylee smiled. "No need, Thanos! I'll pay for my own order."

Instead of taking care of family and other people's affairs, he better give up. Sure enough, as per lunch, the two were still arguing about the money. Thanos insists on paying, while Rylee refuses.

"It turns out that Abbey's decision to leave you was correct!"

Thanos's eyes were on him. "What do you mean?"

"You are a unique, annoying, and lousy man! Okay, Thanos. Just look. You pay the bill today. I'll transfer half of it to your account."

"I told you it wasn't necessary, Rylee!"

"I know if it's unconditional, but if it's conditional, I'm sorry."

Rylee obviously didn't want to. He left Thanos still fixated on Rylee's attitude just now.

Meanwhile, in the apartment, Abbey is waiting for Rylee's arrival. He prepared a simple lunch to eat together. Several times looking at the wall clock made Abbey lose her temper. Rylee should have gone home, but he had been outside for a long time.

"Darling, I'm home!" Rylee's voice that had just entered was instantly easily recognizable.

Instead of giving her a hug, Abbey suddenly looked annoyed at her.

"Why just got home? I've prepared lunch for us, but it looks like you've eaten outside, huh?"

Like a coincidence, Abbey found out that Rylee had just eaten outside. Will this be a household disaster?

"Sorry, Honey. I. .. I just got a job. So, the boss bought me outside. He said as a thank you for meeting an employee like me. Don't worry, because I will definitely eat your food. Believe me!" The only way is to lie to Abbey so as not to get emotional.

"So, you got a job? Over where? Is it in an office with skyscrapers? Or in a company that has many subsidiaries? You are a competent CEO!" puji Abbey.

"Shadow CEO only," murmured Rylee.

This time no longer lying. Whatever he got, Rylee could not deny that this time he had to be honest. However, he did not expect that this honesty would spread to other, more serious problems.

"Are you ready to hear it?"

"Rylee, as a wife, I should also know where you work. If you lie, I can be sure that I will contact you and ask you to continue the work that should be your responsibility. We're gonna live with my parents."

It's better for Rylee to be honest than to have to live with the in-laws. He will live like a mannequin who must obey all the words of his master. If not, then he would be humiliated there.

"I ...."

"Rylee, it's been a while!" abbey protests.

"Actually I got a job at an auto repair shop."

Finally, Rylee could also say fluently. However, after that his throat felt choked. He should be ready to accept his wife's response which is definitely beyond reason.

Abbey smiled and laughed slowly. A few minutes later, his laughter broke.

"So, did you get a job in the workshop? Do you know what the salary of the workshop employee is?" abbey asked with a gaze that Rylee was unable to decipher. "I thought you were working for a company. Maybe as a division head or something. If only as a workshop employee, I can be sure that I will work!"
