Doris arrived at the address Lola had given her.

“Doris, over here. Lola waved at her.

Lola was wearing oversized sunglasses and a long green dress, still as dazzling as ever.

Doris walked over, frowning suspiciously, “Why did you ask me to come here?”

“I want to show you something. Come on. Lola pushed open the black and gold lacquered door behind her.

Doris followed her inside and watched as Lola took out a key to unlock the glass double doors.

The interior was empty, but the decor was nice.

What do you think?” Lola removed her sunglasses and turned to ask.

“It’s pretty good.” Doris glanced around. “What are you planning to do?”

“Have you found a new job?” Lola answered with a question.

Doris thought of the call she received that morning from the hotel’s HR specialist. “I was just about to tell you the HR specialist called and said I could return to work anytime. What about you? Did they call you?”

Lola looked surprised and shook her head. “No. So, are you going back?”

“Lola, I really need a job right now. I need to make money.” Doris felt anxious at the thought of Peyton’s illness.

Lola immediately noticed the sorrow in her eyes. “Did something happen? Tell me, maybe I can help.”

“My mom is sick. Breast cancer. She insists on not having surgery and is opting for conservative treatment,” Doris admitted.

Lola hugged her. “Doris, don’t be afraid. You have me. If you need money, I’ll give it to you.”

“No, that’s not necessary.” Doris shook her head firmly. “The surgery isn’t even that expensive. The problem is that my mom refuses to have it.”

She still hadn’t paid Lola back the 30 thousand dollars she borrowed, and she didn’t want to owe her more. Besides, Jimmy could afford the 30 thousand dollars surgery. The real problem was the one million dollars owed to Ryan.
