Chapter 100: Crushed Spirit Chapter 100: Crushed Spirit “Yes, yes!” she suddenly pumped her fist into the air, a little squeal of delight escaping her.

She couldn’t believe her eyes, this was exactly like what she had seen in her dream and what her teachers had talked about just weeks ago.

The pieces were falling into place.

But now, the real challenge, how to convince him to give her a job.

“Okay,” Little Sweetie replied, her mind racing.

Convincing a grown man to hire a four year old was nearly impossible, but she wasn’t about to back down.

She changed tactics instantly, time to play the orphan card.

“Sir, I have no parents,” she said, her eyes widening dramatically as she let her voice quiver just a little.

“I don’t want to stay here anymore.

I want to go with you.

Could you please adopt me?

Or just take me with you?

I can cook, I can clean, I can wash, I don’t need any money!

You don’t have to pay me at all!” She practically sold herself like a seasoned merchant, desperate to seal the deal.

What kind of four year old was in such a hurry to leave an orphanage, offering to cook and clean?

He furrowed his brows in confusion.

“No, dear.

These people will take care of you,” he said, his voice soft but firm, trying to reassure her.

He assumed she was simply speaking without understanding the seriousness of her request.

His schedule was tight, and he really didn’t have the time to entertain such a conversation, but she wasn’t getting the message.

“Please, Uncle!

Please, please take me with you!
