Chapter 158

Teresa locked the door behind her. The warmth of the apartment calmed her slightly.

Eric had already headed into the living room. She noticed his foot and asked, "What happened to your foot?"

"Don't even ask." He sat down and propped his foot up on the coffee table. "Someone rammed into me downstairs and made me fall into the bushes. I twisted my ankle on the way down. Come and check it out for me. Massage it or something. It fucking hurts." Teresa hurriedly got a hot compress. She applied it to his ankle and helped him massage the area.

"Where did you go in the afternoon?" Eric asked. "Why are you back so late?"

She told him about heading to Vincent's home and cooking for Anna. She also mentioned that Anna wanted to hire her as her nutritionist.

Before she could finish, Eric said, "You have to do it! That's 8000 dollars a month, and you'll have someone picking you up and dropping you off. Why turn it down?"

"You're okay with it?"

"Of course! 8000 dollars is a lot of money! Would anyone say no to more money?"
