"Boss, I'm sorry, I overslept. I'll head over right away."
Xu Ya scrambled to her feet, only to realize that she'd fallen asleep directly on the sofa after finishing her work.
She hadn't showered, nor had she changed her clothes.
Xu Ya also noticed that she seemed to be feeling a little unwell, her body slightly feverish.
But she had no time to worry about herself.
After taking a quick shower, eating a piece of bread for breakfast, and swallowing a few cold pills, she prepared to leave for the office.
This was a job she'd struggled to find, and she'd only started working there recently. Taking leave so soon—what would her boss think of her?
Xu Ya understood better now that she wasn't who she used to be. She had adapted quickly to her changing circumstances.
In the past, she would take the time to live a refined, meticulous life, but things were different now—simplicity was the priority.
Even going out meant squeezing onto crowded buses.
