    Chapter 1119: Wanting to Earn More Money


    Listening to Reed''s words, Sandy hesitated, not quite sure how to respond.


    "It''s okay," Reed said as he noticed Sandy''s silence. He reached out and lightly patted Sandy''s arm,


    showing a reassuring smile.


    Sandy managed a smile back at Reed before finally speaking up, "Do you have any ns for the


    future?"


    Considering Reed''s age, he should be in college under normal circumstances, but due to his current


    situation, he had to enter the workforce prematurely.


    Upon hearing Sandy''s question, Reed fell silent for a moment before answering, "I don''t know. I haven''t


    figured out what I want to do yet."


    "You should be in school at your age," Sandy continued, turning her gaze to Reed. "Do you want to go


    back to school?"


    Reed shook his head. "I''d better not. It''s not suitable for me now."


    As time goes by, certain thoughts may fade away without much consideration. This applied to Reed as


    well. Once the age for certain activities has passed, the urgency to pursue them diminishes.


    "Actually, if you want to, you can still pursue it," Sandy said softly.


    Reed shook his head again. "It''s alright. I''m not really interested."


    Before, when Yang Juan was still around, Reed used to envy people like Natasha, who were in school.


    However, after experiencing life and death situations, he hade to appreciate a stable and peaceful


    life. So, the idea of returning to school didn''t hold much appeal to him, and he even felt a bit resistant to


    it.


    While they had found their footing in Manches City, it wasrgely due to Yanis, Zane, and Bonnie that


    they could settle down in this environment. Sandy wanted to ease some of the burden on Mitch, aiming


    for them to survive on their own terms in this new environment.


    Therefore, she wanted to do something more meaningful.


    "Do you have anything you want to do?" Sandy asked, looking at Reed with curiosity.


    "Nothing in particr," Reed replied.


    After a pause, Reed continued, "If I were to think about it, I''d want to earn more money so that my


    brother can have a slightly easier life."


    Upon hearing Reed''s words, Sandy spoke up, "Reed, I have a friend who''s currently looking for an


    assistant. Would you be interested?"


    Pausing for a moment, Sandy continued, "It''s for an artist''s assistant role, mainly handling


    misceneous tasks. My friend is easy to get along with and very understanding. If you''re interested, I


    can introduce you."


    Reed fell silent for a moment before responding, "I haven''t done this kind of work before. I''m afraid I


    might not be good at it and would cause you trouble."


    "It''s not a problem at all. My friend is easy to work with, and you won''t have to handleplicated


    tasks. You just need to follow the normal work routine," Sandy reassured him.


    Reed was still a bit hesitant, about to say something, when the doorbell rang.


    Both Sandy and Reed turned their heads toward the door. Aunt Gloria went to open it.


    It was An who came in.


    Upon seeing An, Reed''s eyes brightened.


    Sandy, observing Reed''s reaction from the side, leaned in and whispered, "You can talk to An. If you


    decide to go for it, just let me know, alright?"


    Reed had been considering discussing the matter with his family, so when Sandy suggested it, he


    nodded in agreement, "Alright."


    "Why is it just you two?" An walked over from the door and asked as he entered.


    Reed replied, "Yanis is taking a nap, and Mr. Lawrence hasn''te out from the backyard."


    An nodded, "I''ve wrapped up my matters. You can chat with Miss Thompson first. I actually need to


    talk to Zane about something."


    Reed nodded, "Sure."


    An nodded at Sandy and then turned to head for the backyard.


    Ever since the florist delivered the flowers, Zane had been in the backyard, arranging and organizing.


    "Are you nning to turn this ce into a flower paradise?" An remarked upon entering, greeted by a


    room full of flowers.


    Zane turned to nce at him, then replied, "Sort of."


    "Is Yanis fond of it?" An asked.


    Zane neither confirmed nor denied, coldly responding, "Don''t you have something to do? How did you


    finish so quickly?"


    "Just some minor things," An said as he walked over to Zane''s side. "So, how are you nning to


    arrange these?"


    Zane stood up straight and pondered before saying, "I''m thinking of forming a heart shape with these


    flowers and cing something else in the center."


    After hearing Zane''s n, An clicked his tongue twice, "Mr. Lawrence, your ideas are truly beyond


    me."


    Zane shot a fleeting look at An, as if saying, "If you can''t speak, just get out."


    Ignoring Zane''s look, An approached and adjusted the flowers Zane had already ced, "You


    haven''t even touched the soil here. Even if you want to nt something, you can''t."


    Saying that, An pointed to a pile of flowers that hadn''t been ced yet, "Move these over to the


    center. Then, put the others on the outer edges. This way is better than burying them inside like you''re


    trying to nt a garden."


    Listening to An''s advice, Zane lifted an eyebrow and then turned his gaze to him.


    An, with a serious expression, instructed, "What are you standing there for? Just follow what I said.


    See if it looks much better this way than how you arranged it before."


    Zane stood still for a while before starting to rearrange the flowers.


    Both of them remained silent andmunicated without words as they artfully arranged the flowers.


    "Well? Does it look better than you imagined?" An leaned against the side, his gaze fixed on Zane''s


    face.


    Zane and An exchanged nces before Zane finally asked, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted


    to talk about something?"


    An raised an eyebrow at Zane''s question and then turned around to take out a cigarette, "Want


    one?"


    Zane''s brow furrowed slightly, and he reached out to ept the cigarette, "No lighter?"


    An chuckled, "If I told you there''s no lighter, would you use your hands?"

    Zane immediately turned his head to look at him.


    An continued, "Reed doesn''t like me smoking. It''s bad for health. So, I just carry them around for a


    whiff when I feel like it."


    With that, An nced at Zane, "Yanis is pregnant. Shouldn''t you be more careful?"


    Zane didn''t respond and ced the cigarette between his lips, "Get to the point."


    An fell silent for a few seconds before speaking, "There''s an issue with the project I''m working on


    with Evan. I don''t want to involve Evan in it."


    An put a cigarette between his own lips as well, "So, I was thinking of tapping into yourwork to


    find a more suitable partner."
