Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 143

“I think I’m going to get a job…” I said softly.

“A job? Sounds good…” my grandmother spoke up with interest.

That was when I realized that I must have spoken my thoughts out loud. Seeing my grandmother’s reaction convinced me that it was probably the right course of action for me right now. If Hayden had moved on already, then I should do the same as well. I can’t wallow in here all my life after all.

“I should start seriously job hunting…” I said with a smile.

“What job are there for art students?” my grandmother asked.

“Well, I still have some university projects so I guess all I can do is some parttime work,” I said.

Good question. I haven’t graduated yet either and I wasn’t famous or anything like that. If I relied on just selling my painting, I probably wouldn’t be able to make ends meet. Plus, I didn’t feel motivated or in the mood to create any good artwork right now.

“I’m not sure actually but I’ll try looking…” I replied honestly.

“Good luck, Lisa. You can do it!” my grandmother said encouragingly.

It always felt great to have at least one person cheering you on. A smile touched my lips and I started to feel like life hadn’t completely lost its color.

“By the way, I moved back home…you know, because the contract is over so I’m free now,” I told my grandmother.

It had been over for a while now, but I just hadn’t brought it up to her. Now that I’ve comes to terms with it somewhat, I felt like I should tell her that I’ve moved out from the penthouse that I was living in with Hayden.

“Oh…isn’t it far for you to travel here then?” my grandmother asked.

It was indeed quite far but since I didn’t have much to do right now, I didn’t mind burning hours during transportation. Actually, the ride here and back felt quite peaceful for me, and it served as a good time for me to think a little about my future and what I wanted to do with my life.

“I don’t have any money right now so maybe I’ll start looking for a cheap apartment around here when I get a job…” I said.

“I have some money saved up. You can use it. I would prefer if you were close by. Why don’t you go and look for a place?” my grandmother quickly suggested.

I had no idea that she had money saved up. Even if she did, I was sure that it wasn’t a whole lot. What she said made sense though. Due to her current condition, it might be better if I lived nearby instead of a few hours away.

‘Do you think that I should join the exhibition?’ I asked as I glanced over at Hayden

‘I think you should,’ he replied, sounding very certain.

I recalled Hayden’s reply when I asked him if I should join the exhibition. I guess, I might as well give it a shot. After all, I had a lot of art supplies that a certain someone had bought for me. Might as well put that to good use.

“Yes, I am. Let’s do it!” I said enthusiastically.

“Wow! That’s great. Let’s do it! We’ll make it a success. Leave choosing the venue to the professor and me,” Jenny said happily.

We talked for a bit about random stuff before she hung up. I lay in bed that night thinking that I had made good progress in life. The exhibition was in three months, so I still had plenty of time to decide what I wanted to put on display and then of course, I had to work on producing them.

That night for the first time in a long while, I went to sleep with a smile on my lips. I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed from a night of undisturbed sleep. For some reason, I had a feeling that something good was going to happen today.
