The Legendary Jay C. Connor

Chapter 5: Regrets.

He rolled his eyes and had this smug look on his face.

"Please don't take out your frustrations on me ,I just came to ask you something, I wasn't the one who was taking care of someone who doesn't want to marry him." He hissed at me.

"What did you say? Repeat it!" I yelled

"Don't touch me or I will sue you, useless man, you can't even properly put a leash on your woman , she was stepping all over you, I just came to tell you I find you stupid and repulsive, if you had acted like a man and not let her and her family step all over you, you will not be in this position." He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Get out." I told him as I pointed to the door.

"Gladly." He said and left.

I was left alone to think and I knew he was right, I should have dumped her ass and kicked her and her family out when she refused to marry me the first time I proposed.

I was too blinded by love, but it won't happen again.

Linda, that sly bitch.

****

For the next one week I was applying for jobs and getting rejected while I was still selling what I could online.

I think that Linda's ex-husband must have told people not to hire me as my old boss said, because I don't know what's going on anymore.

After applying for work and getting rejected, I sat on the couch wondering what next I should do when the blue floating screen popped up in front of me when I was pressing my phone sitting on the couch.

(System notification)

(Task completed)

($5,000)

I was still wondering how I was going to get the money when I had my phone chirp, I checked it and a transfer was made to my bank account.

The sender's name is sponsor.

I was surprised, I have forgotten about this ,so this is real.

(Do you want to accept the second task)

(Accept/ Reject)

Have you seen a man who doesn't like money? I don't care who or where it comes from ,so I just need money now.

(Task loading)

(Task 2: bake ten cupcakes and give it to a friend)

(Reward:$20,000)

What?

I scoffed.

I glared out at the screen in front of me.

Was the system also making fun of me, because I always play the cook for Linda and her family, Linda and her mom barely enter the kitchen and even though I have one day job and two side jobs, I still come back home to cook.

Seeing this left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I practically avoided cooking any meal in that kitchen, I was just eating noodles.

I don't want to prepare snacks, because it would only add salt to my injury.

I always baked cupcakes for everyone to eat during our time together.

I furrowed my brows confused. This was the weirdest task I have ever come across.

How can I make cupcakes and give it to someone?

I decided to get my ass up, put aside my feelings and bake the cupcakes. After baking the cupcakes and packaging them , the real problem began.

I went to see the only friend I had who lived nearby, I didn't call him before going.

My bad.

When I got there his door was locked.

When I called he said he was on a business trip.

Well, I will be damned.

Luck is never on my side, I thought Linda was my lucky star, well we know how that turned out.

Now here I am waiting for a bus, because the only friend I have is out of town on a business trip and the rest of my friends spoke badly about Linda and her family and I got them out of my life bit by bit ,now I barely meet up with them.

It will be weird if I just show up and say , here's cupcake I baked, please take it, they might think I poisoned it.

Since I haven't met up with them in a long time ,maybe 3 years, are they still considered my friends?

I don't want to waste my time.

I considered going to the next town where my friend was on the business trip but that's just like a 7 hours drive and I can't take these cupcakes with me.

What am I going to do?

No job I would do would give me $20,000 in a day.
