Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1297

As for the tutoring fees, Mira arranged to pay them monthly.

Ideally, Mira would have tutored Ryan herself, but she simply didn't have the time. The upcoming university entrance exams demanded half of her focus. Even though she had mastered the curriculum in her past life, it had been a lifetime ago, and she needed to thoroughly refresh her memory.

Her remaining energy—aside from her early morning martial arts training—was entirely dedicated to the stock market.

Two days later, Mira dropped by the rented apartment and found it spotlessly clean and perfectly organized. It was obvious the three of them were adapting to city life just fine.

However, her adoptive parents were restless. They wanted to go out and work.

Mira knew they couldn't stand being idle. "Mom, why don't you just stay home, cook, and take care of the house? I'll find a job for Dad."

George was used to hard, physical labor; forcing him to sit around all day would drive him crazy. So, Mira spoke with Mr. Clayton, the property manager, and arranged for George to help maintain the complex's landscaping.

It wasn't heavy labor—certainly much easier than farming in the mountains—and it was a standard eight-hour shift, leaving him plenty of free time.

Standard pay for landscaping and cleaning was only around nine hundred dollars a month. Mira secretly struck a deal with Mr. Clayton to pay George three thousand, five hundred dollars a month, promising to quietly cover the difference herself.

Mira promised the manager an extra hundred-dollar monthly tip to ensure he kept the other workers quiet about the arrangement.

Since the job kept George within the safety of the gated community, Mira didn't have to worry about his security. The contract was signed quickly, and George was set to start the very next day.

When George came home that evening, he couldn't stop talking about it. "Making money in the city is so easy! Just taking care of some flowers and grass pays three thousand, five hundred dollars a month. If I had known, I would have stopped farming years ago and come straight to the city."

Mira didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In this economy, most ordinary office workers barely cleared three or four thousand dollars a month.
