Luna had officially be his mother, but it seemed he wanted more - a closer bond with Luna.


    And what was that to me?


    I looked at him with distaste. "Why are you telling me this? Do I know you?"


    Nigel stood there, stunned as if my words had hit him hard.


    I frowned, making no effort to hide my annoyance. "Whatever you want to do to build a rtionship with your mom, just go ahead. That''s your business, not mine. Please, stoping over to tell me about it over and over again. I don''t have the time to waste, got it?" With that, I walked past him, but after a few steps, I turned to address the staff, "I hope you will keep a better watch on your students in the future. Don''t let them bother strangers."


    After dropping that line, I got into my car.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    As Reuben hit the gas and steered onto the road, he gave me a curious look.


    After spending some time together, I had a pretty good read on him. Settling into afortable position, I leaned back.


    "What''s on your mind?" I asked directly.


    "I just think you''re doing great," Reuben said, his voice neutral, eyes back on the road. "Making a choice and sticking to it."


    I chuckled lightly.


    "Got any ns for what''s next?" Reuben asked.


    I shook my head. "Not yet."


    "Do you need me to have someone draw up a n for you?" Reuben felt that Joyce had been doing much better since staying with me. Naturally, he wanted to make sure I was doing well, too. "No, thanks!" I replied quickly.


    He had given me shelter and a job when I was down on my luck, and for that, I was grateful. I didn''t want to impose on him any further.


    I knew that once I wasn''t needed for chores, I''d have a lot of free time. And he probably wanted me to find something to keep me busy.


    So, I smiled and said, "Give me a few days. I should figure out what I like or what kind of career I want to pursue."


    "Alright," Reuben said as he pulled up to the office.


    "You can explore the area and see if there''s anything you want to buy. If you get bored, just call me, and I''ll have the driver take you home." After he went upstairs, I started wandering around the area.


    The office buildings were surrounded by various small shops, mostly restaurants, and a few beverage stores.


    I looked at the signs and the pictures posted at the entrances, trying to guess what each store was about.


    At the same time, I mulled over a few things...


    If I were to start a business, would I want to open shops like these?


    The conclusion was a no.


    First off, running a store required long hours, which would sh with my time with Joyce.


    And secondly,pared to jobs that required interacting with a lot of people, I realized I''d rather find something I could do from home.


    My pace slowed. Even though I hadn''t finished exploring, I was starting to get a clear picture of what I didn''t want to do.


    As for what I was truly interested in...
