Chapter 394 Asking for Help

I warmly greeted Myra and noticed her little son was already exploring the house. I sighed at how quickly

time flies.

Ava was having fun playing with him and acting like a big sister. She made him laugh, and the kids got along well. Ava probably felt lonely.

Myra seemed a bit hesitant. "Chlo, this is my first time at Amethyst Apartments. The environment is incredible. Johnson used to tell me about it, but I never imagined I'd come here. I should have visited

sooner!"

I could sense from her tone that Johnson was unaware of Myra's visit to my house today.

"You should have come earlier. Look at how well the little ones are getting along. In the future, feel free to

bring him over to play whenever you like."

After signaling for Myra to sit down, I joined her and looked at the two kids.

My mother was busy in the kitchen, and upon seeing me return, she said, "Myra, have dinner here today. Chlo, we'll serve the meal once you're done chatting!"

"Thanks, Ms. Laura. I'll just talk to Chlo for a bit and then leave. I didn't expect you to get off work so late!" Myra stood up suddenly, appearing even more uncertain.

I immediately pulled her back down. "Why so polite? Since you're here, just stay. Let's talk a bit more. My parents love it when there are more people around. It's lively!" Only then did Myra sit back down, still feeling a bit uneasy.

"Chlo... I wanted to ask you if there's any way you could let Johnson join your company. He can do anything, even as just a regular employee.

She held onto me urgently, speaking in a rush. "Chlo, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Johnson couldn't bring himself to ask you. He feels bad for troubling you, especially after he left so abruptly with Matthew."

As I had suspected, she was here for Johnson. Seeing that I hadn't responded, tears. She was more embarrassed than anything.

Myra's eyes filled with

know this request might put you in a tough spot, Chlo. Our actions have not been consistent, which makes things hard for you. But I have no choice. Since I had my child, I haven't been working, and Johnson has been the sole breadwinner."

Take your time. I understand,” I comforted the somewhat agitated Myra.

She let out a sigh of relief and lowered her head.

“In fact, I've struggled for a long time. Johnson didn't want me to come. He said he couldn't face you. He acted all high and mighty when he followed Matthew back then, so he couldn't bring himself to bother you. He said he couldn't impose on you anymore."

1 could empathize with Myra's feelings. Raising a child can be costly, and family support alone can be overwhelming.

Myra looked worried. "I can't help it. Johnson works for Matthew but is always pushed around. He's given. all sorts of menial tasks to do, and Melanie... She constantly picks on him, scolding him in front of everyone. She's even cut his pay several times!"

"They cut his pay?"

That was a bit unexpected. Johnson had been by Matthew's side for quite a few years, working tirelessly. It didn't seem fair to reduce his pay without good reason.

"Yes! Matthew doesn't even care. He'd changed since joining the wealthy Thompsons. He's even more cruel now, always doing things that help himself at the expense of others. And he forces Johnson to do it. I am afraid something bad will happen at some point."

"Is that so?"

"Chlo, they even involved Johnson in their project. Melanie always makes Johnson do things against his principles. I'm afraid this will lead to trouble sooner or later."

"What kind of things?" I asked, concerned,
