[Do you want your problems to go away? Then, I have a task for you.]
Patricia stared at the note that came with the reunion ticket. Seated on the sofa in her room, one leg rested over the other, and her arms were folded across her chest. Her eyes were fixed on the ticket and then on the note beside it.
"What does it say again?" she wondered aloud, reaching for the note to read it once more. "Do you want your problems to go away?"
Patricia’s face twisted as she flipped the card, where the contact number was written. "Ugh... as if." She rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue.
The last time she fell for this kind of trick, she ended up deceiving the most powerful man in Anteca. And what did that get her? This kind of life. The people who had ordered her to do that despicable thing didn’t even help her.
They all simply vanished into thin air.
Patricia tried contacting the person she had been in touch with ever since Zoren found her out. Back then, they had still been answering her. Though she hadn’t mentioned that Zoren had caught on, they were giving her instructions. But they stopped contacting her right after the charity event. Patricia spent that night calling, but the calls never went through. That was when she realized even those people had abandoned her, leaving her high and dry.
"They didn’t even give me my last pay," she spat in dismay. "No way I’d forgive them."
With that thought in mind, Patricia irritably shoved the reunion ticket and note back into the envelope. She walked toward the small trash bin in the bathroom, smirking spitefully. She didn’t dwell on it; she just went on with her life.
Patricia went through the rest of her day like usual: rolling around in bed, scrolling through her web feed. While everyone else her age was hustling, making a name for themselves, or figuring out what to do with their lives, Patricia had no intention of doing anything at all.
Her life was over as far as she was concerned, and she blamed it all on her incompetent brother.
So, she killed time by blaming her foolish brother — who had been doing everything he could day in and day out to keep the family afloat — just because she couldn’t buy the bag she wanted at the moment.
"It’s just ten thousand... but I can’t buy it," she hissed, sitting up and ruffling her hair. "Why did he freeze my account — that good-for-nothing brother!"
In a fit of irritation, Patricia grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it, screaming into it as loud as she could. It was the only thing she could do since even her father and mother couldn’t do anything about it. Her father had to work in the company again because of Theo’s incompetence, while her mother — Patricia had no idea what was going on with her mother.
If only she knew that her mother had been slaving away, currying favor with her "friends" just so they wouldn’t pull out of the company.
Patricia was the only one not contributing anything to the family.
