Once? Not enough

Chapter 16: The Taste of Men.

Grayson was in high spirits at the mention of it, "Yeah, she's an outstanding student who's won scholarships at our school for four years in a row, Amy's a good prospect with a lot of potential."

"That's quite an eye you've got there, do you think she's up to the job? Capable enough?" Grayson asked with anticipation as he moved closer.

Carter gave a teasing grin, "Oh, I think she's certainly much better than scraping clean the small adverts in the girls' toilets at your school."

......

Amy got back to her dorm and the first thing she did was pour herself a glass of water, open her pillbox and

"Ding!"

The screen of her mobile phone lit up, she picked it up and saw that it was a bank transfer alert, $1,000 had arrived and her roommate Murray's voice followed.

"Amy, I transferred you the money from your part-time job last night. But you didn't come back last night, you came back later than me. If you hadn't texted me to let me know you were safe, I would have thought you'd met a bad guy."

Amy put the pills back in the box and blushed as she lied, "I went to work at the convenience store last night to make some extra money."

"You're so competent too, you've become almost a non-stop work machine. You'll do anything to make money, no wonder your dark circles under your eyes are so deep, it looks like you didn't rest all night."

Amy blushed even more.

In a way, she did stay up all night and worked hard ......

"I'm really quite sleepy, I'm going to go to bed and catch up on some sleep first, you'll wake me up for lunch at noon."

Amy yawned, just wanting to crawl into bed and get a good night's sleep.

"Okay, I'm going to go to dinner with my man-crush and come back later. I'll take you to a nice lunch!"

Murray spun around, her stylish little skirt fluttering with her, her make-up delicate and reflecting the shimmering light beautifully.

Amy couldn't help but tease her, "Eating with a male god, isn't that a date? You have little love bubbles coming out of your eyes."

"You've never been in love, you don't understand. That ambiguous period is most exciting when love is in the air, especially the kind of heartbeat that you can feel without words, and it's not so fun once you're in the heat of the moment."

Murray raised his eyebrows and said to Amy half-jokingly, "I suggest you also find a boyfriend and experience the feeling of falling in love, otherwise such a simple girl will be most likely to fall head over heels on the relationship road."

Amy smiled and pursed her lips, "I'm too busy to fall in love."

"You are not experienced the taste of men, tasted once will be addicted, hate can not pull themselves out."

The Taste of Men ......

Amy's brain recalled the unspeakable scenes, feeling the ache in her limbs, she secretly mocked in her mind.

She wasn't the one who was addicted.

After Murray left, Amy was the only one left in the dormitory. She was just about to change into her pyjamas and take a nap when her mobile phone suddenly rang.

Amy couldn't help but answer the phone happily when she saw the name jumping on the screen.

"Dad, why are you calling me?"

From the far end came her father's warm voice: "I just missed my daughter, couldn't I call to say hello?"

"Sure, I miss you too, Dad, is your leg better?" Amy sat up straight and reached for the phone.

"The operation was a success, the doctor said I need to stay in hospital for three months and after that I'll be able to walk." There was anticipation in her father's voice.

After years of being paralysed, he was overwhelmed with excitement that he would now finally be able to stand again.

"By the way, Amy, I heard your mother say that you called in the money for my surgery. You're still a student, where did you get so much money?"

Only her father would notice this detail, while everyone else in the family just urged to call in the money, never caring.

Amy gently scratched the bedsheets and pretended to be relaxed, "I took a big job a few days ago, the client was very generous and gave a lot of money. This is an advance on the design fee, don't worry, I'm going to be an intern in a month, and then I'll be able to earn more money to show filial care for you."

The father's heart was comforted by what he heard.

"I don't need your support, just take care of yourself. That boss of yours is good, sure you gave money in advance, you have to work well too, hear me?"

She thought to herself: if the "boss" hadn't already blackballed her.

Amy nodded, "I know."

Her father was busy going to rehab on the other end and had to hang up.

Amy let out a long breath. "

Fingers slid absently through the address book and stopped on a familiar phone number, the number of Carter she had tried to reach.

She stared at it for a long time and finally deleted Carter's contact information and WeChat.

The deal was over, and the two of them no longer had anything to do with each other.

Consider this an episode in her life.
