I picked up a chopstick and the ribs fell off.

Pick up another piece of egg and drop it again.

When she didn't open her mouth, Richard didn't mention it, and was happy to watch her try hard while eating.He watched Jessica stare at the tip of the chopsticks with big black beautiful eyes, and slowly try to pick up a rib again before dropping it back on the plate.

Seeing the girl stubbornly failed several times, Richard finally felt that it would be too cruel to continue like this, so he smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll get you a spoon."

"do not want!"

Jessica quit.I can even lift a truck with my bare hands, so I'm afraid you can't do it with just two sticks?

She doesn't believe in this evil anymore.

Richard shrugged and said no more.But he went to the kitchen to find a spoon and put it next to Jessica.But Jessica ignored it completely and continued to practice and try hard.Her emotions were being tossed by the two chopsticks and she gradually lost control, her anger surged up, and she subconsciously exerted more force with her fingertips

slap!

She, Jessica Jones, is so powerful that she can stop a car with a single palm. How can such strange strength be endured by mere two chopsticks?Then with a crisp sound, Brother Chopsticks was overwhelmed and broke neatly into two pieces.

Jessica blinked her big beautiful eyes blankly, and then asked with a guilty conscience: "This shouldn't be very expensive, right?"

Richard was expressionless: "Your bonus for next month is gone."

Jessica's eyes widened.

It’s not that I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me. Although I haven’t used this thing before, aren’t two sticks worth so much money?

It's over, it's over, if it goes on like this, won't the more she works, the more debt she will owe?She suddenly felt that one day she would be so indebted that she sold herself and couldn't pay it back.

"Just kidding." Richard smiled. "That's not worth a lot of money. But seriously, you'd better use a spoon."

"Oh."

This time Jessica was obedient.

Hmph, if adults don't remember villains, I won't be as knowledgeable as you little chopsticks.

After tossing and tossing for so long, Jessica finally ate her first bite of sweet and sour pork ribs after a long time.She nodded and said seriously, "It's delicious."

Being praised by the beauty, Richard said that it is still very useful.He smiled and nodded: "It's good to eat, eat more, and the food expenses will be deducted from your salary in the future."

Jessica stopped moving again, her teeth that had just bit a piece of ribs stopped, and she looked at Richard with wide bright eyes, as if she didn't know whether she should bite or not.

It's a pity that she thought the boss was actually a pretty good person just now, but now it seems that she is still too naive.How could there be a good boss? Sure enough, the ugly faces of capitalists are all the same!

Actually, after thinking about it for a while, she felt that this was actually quite reasonable.After all, she doesn't know how to cook, so renting a house at such a low price is already a special care of the boss, and it is really unreasonable to eat and drink every day

Forget it, just pay the money, she doesn't care anymore.

It's just that Jessica Jones faintly feels that she seems to be drifting away from the road of "selling herself"

Chapter 35 Be Yourself

Although Jessica hadn't expected to have to pay for food, but in all fairness, the boss's cooking skills are surprisingly good, and he will be lucky in the future, and it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage to pay a little money.

It's just that the tool of chopsticks is too anti-human, and Jessica feels as if her IQ has been insulted.She has already decided that she must find a video of how to use chopsticks when she has time in the future, and practice hard to learn how to use these two sticks in private, so as to save the face she lost today.

Richard was quite happy with the meal.It was inexplicably amusing to see the fabled "untouchable" lady, Jessica Jones, deflated on two chopsticks.

After dinner, Jessica actually took out a bottle of beer from her room, lifted the lid and poured it proudly.That posture made Richard involuntarily think of those bold children in martial arts works, and they drank without blinking.

But he knew that Jessica Jones in the original plot did have some drinking problems, especially after a bad experience in her life that could be called a turning point in her life.Jessica Jones was controlled by the psychic powers of a super criminal named "Purple Man", and for a long time became a doll that could only be manipulated by the other party.That period became the darkest moment of the heroine's life and her worst nightmare.After that, her irritability became more and more serious, her life was sloppy, she didn't seek to make progress, and she was in a state of depression all day long.

Richard originally thought that perhaps Jessica had a problem with alcohol after that, and alcohol dependence is indeed a favored escape plan for many people after experiencing an inescapable trauma.But now it seems that Jessica's alcohol problem did not appear to have occurred at that time.

Richard watched Jessica take two sips of wine, and suddenly said: "Alcohol dependence is a bad habit, I think you should stop."

Jessica squinted at him, and continued to drink indifferently: "My body is different from others, and I don't get drunk so easily."

Richard was expressionless: "Then about the rent issue, I just changed my mind and thought about it for a while. The rent is still too cheap for a room located in the center of the city. I think the price may need to be raised."

Jessica froze suddenly while drinking, she turned her head and stared at Richard bluntly: "Boss, you know, you are blackmailing."

"Blackmail? Who? So shameless?" Richard began to look around.

That’s not enough, Richard immediately thought of something: “Oh right, speaking of which, our newspaper office has been unable to transfer funds recently, you know that the gold-plated model installed on the roof of our building cost a lot of money. So I'm thinking, your salary may not go up anytime soon."

Jessica gritted her teeth, and almost crushed the beer bottle on the spot without using too much force.

Row!You are awesome!I'm a good girl who doesn't fight with guys, and doesn't drink if I don't drink.

Jessica stared at him coldly for a moment, and finally put down the wine bottle resentfully, the resentment in her eyes made Richard's spine shudder, and she even wondered if she had really done something excessive.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Jessica is full of supernatural power, but she still can't break the landlord and the boss after all.

Sure enough, superpowers are useless in today's society, and capitalists are the real bosses.

But although Jessica Cara has a face, she is not as angry as she appears in her heart.

Because in fact, Richard was the first person to tell her "no alcohol" so far.

Jessica Jones was the only survivor of a car accident in which her biological parents and younger brother died.After that, no one told her what to do and what not to do, and no one asked her to go home before seven o'clock in the evening.

She doesn't even feel like she has a home to return to—if it's just an old empty house, can that place really be called home?

So she was surprised to find that when Richard sternly told her not to drink, instead of resisting, she felt a little happy somewhere in her heart.
